Pros: Runs cooler than I thought it would with the included heatsink and Fan (idles right at 100f when I check after a game or load it hasn't been higher than 107). So far very stable. 3 cpu graphs in the task manager is cool!

Cons: Not as fast as the dual cores.

Overall Review: I read a lot of reviews and knew the dual cores were faster, but I'm hoping the Phenom's catch up in the future, also hoping that more software will come out that takes better advantage of multiple cores, in which case the Phenom will outpace its higher clock 2 core brethern.

Pros: Worked GREAT! Super quiet, easy to manage cables for a non modular. Plenty of connectors for everything (mobo, HD4870, Sata, molex). I really like the fan on the bottom as it was bottom mounted in my case to draw fresh air from underneath and blow out the back instead of heating up the rest of the case.

Cons: Only con is that it failed 362 days after I bought it, and unfortunately I didn't buy it from the egg and cannot find the receipt to RMA :( However, I have other Thermaltake products in my build and have used them in other builds with great success. This was the only failure I've had of a TT part. I will buy again.

Overall Review: Unsure why so many have had 0 day issues. This unit has been rock solid until today. I leave my machine on 24/7 for weeks at a time. I have been known to do extended gaming as well.

Pros: Probably one of the best "budget" cards available. It has taken everything I've thrown at it with no problems. Sure it could run some games better, but for the price its hard to beat. I couldn't afford the 4850 when I bought this and after 8 months I really haven't found a solid reason to change up. I can't "max" out crysis, but I can play Crysis Warhead with decent detail and excellent framerates. I'm considering buying one more since the price has dropped some for Crossfire.

Cons: I didn't buy from the 'Egg and paid way too much.

Overall Review: At first I was unsure about the small heatsink / fan and basic reference design, but it performs very well, is very quiet, and no heat issues whatsoever.

Pros: 2 years of everyday use, still running strong. Its done everything I've asked it to. Easy setup and maintenance.

Cons: Not gigabit on the wired side??? When I go to web based setup and type my admin password, I have to click the button with the mouse, If I press enter, it just clears the text field and reloads the password page. Slightly annoying.

Overall Review: I bought this because it was the cheapest wireless router I could find. I actually was buying it for a friend and bought a 2nd one for me. Both are still going strong. I don't have anymore wireless devices but I am using 3 of the 4 wired ports and haven't had any problems at all. The web based setup seems a little basic, but with some poking and prodding you'll find the more advanced stuff.

Pros: Excellent ventalation. Easy to install everything. The power wires for the included fans are already routed. The build quality is above average, every part fits and looks good. This is a very well laid out case for ease of use and cooling performance. I know I'll be using this case for many many years.

Cons: The blue power LED on the top control panel is insanely bright! I had to cover it up or everytime I looked down I was blinded. I suppose I could just disconnect it from the motherboard. **I had to get a SATA DVD drive. My motherboard only has 1 IDE connector, with the hard drive mounting setup it is impossible to get a standard IDE cable to get to a hard drive and an optical drive. Just keep that in mind.

Overall Review: MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard, Phenom X3 w/ OEM heatsink/fan. Standard size video card, 2 hard drives, 1 optical. Everything fits with tons of room to spare. I did add a 120mm fan to the front, it took me 3 seconds to install w/ no tools needed. I wish I had bought this case a long time ago. I've had a 430w Thermaltake powersupply for a while and though barely adequate for my current build, it hasn't given me any problems... I'll be upgrading that soon with another Thermaltake product.

Pros: 4 PCI-e!! Silent heatpipe cooling that works (neat design for the northbridge cooler as well). It was a super easy install and booted up on the first try. Also was able to switch from an nVidia board without having to reinstall windows. The manual is good and the MSI "Dual Core Center" software is handy. System temp is in the 80's. I can't believe it took so long for the front panel adapters to come out, they are awesome!

Cons: Had to slightly bend one of the heatpipes as it interfered with the video card. (x1900gt).

Overall Review: I need more video cards! Windows XP didn't recognize any of the hardware so keep the driver CD handy when installing. The side IDE port made installing the cable a little tricky, but is workable. The setup seems well put together. Build: MSI K9A2 Platinum, AMD Phenom 8450, 2gig 8500 OCZ Platinum, ATI X1900GT(next piece to change).
