quiet. quiet, and quiet

Pros: Silent design that cools just as good as designs with loud fans. Overclocks well, currently at 760 core, 2260 mem and doesn't even get warm. Added a silent 80mm fan for good measure though...not sure if it's really needed.
Cons: It doesn't clear the snow off my driveway.
Overall Review: For the price you can't go wrong.
went bad after 1 year, horrible CS from Kingmax

Pros: Had 2 sticks in my nforce2 board. Ran good for a while. Ran at specified timings and voltages when it worked.
Cons: Went bad after a year or so (both sticks). memtest threw tons of errors. Other RAM worked fine in machine. Kingmax didn't know who to talk to for RMA at first. CS rep said to go to newegg, but newegg said Kingmax needs to. Finally got a contact at Kingmax. RMA recieved and RAM shipped to them on 8/15/06. They also make you pay for return shipping of their defective product replacement!!! So, in all I paid for shipping 3 times for this RAM! Well, it's now 9/14/06. I still don't have replacement RAM, a follow up on 8/31 stated they would be shipping the replacement on 9/1 - never happened. They no longer reply to my emails....will be ebaying RAM if I ever receive it.
Overall Review: Avoid this RAM and other Kingmax products because if you have problems, you won't get anything close to what I would call "customer service"
Died after almost 4years of use

Pros: Worked for a while, good price
Cons: Died after almost 4 years, ran hot.
Overall Review: Device worked for a pretty good while, almost 4 years, but shouldn't have died even after that. Did have a bit of flakiness throughout its life and needed a few "reboots." Did run hot though it's whole life but it lived in a cool basement and that probably kept it alive that long. After its death a few days ago I noticed the power requirement stamped into the device where the cable attaches. Says 9V/1A. Power adapter DC output is 12V/1A. Could be why it ran hot and died after a while.... Wouldn't buy one again even if I got another 4 years out of it.
incredible value!

Pros: Unreal overclocker. Keeps cool enough and stable with stock cooler at 3.44 GHz(344 FSB w/ 10x multi, +.1v). Will need better HSF to push it further. Running with MSI P6N SLI board.
Cons: um...it won't clock to 80 GHz??!?!?
Overall Review: Considering the price and overclocking potential, you can't beat this CPU.
Nice board if you only go to 3GB of RAM

Pros: Laid out nice, adequate connections for extra USB ports, easy overclocking - E4500 @ 2.94 GHz. audio is good for on-board, on-board gigabit nice as well. OSX will run with this board if you're looking to build a hackintosh.
Cons: Due to limitations of the intel 945 chipset, only 3.2 GB of RAM can really be used if you have 4GB installed (even with 64-bit OS). Chipset can't address above 4GB, so it has to use your upper 800 MB for addressing. Sucks when you pay for 4GB of RAM but can't use it. Should have done more research before buying. Only one SATA cable included is pretty lame.
Overall Review: Due to the RAM limitation, selling to friend who won't need more than 3GB, and bought a board that can handle 8GB. But, this board + E4500 + 2GB DDR2-667 and you've got an inexpensive but very capable setup!
Great little KVM

Pros: Compact, quickly switches, easy install/hook up, use multiple devices.
Cons: Cable location on the "box"
Overall Review: This is great KVM for those who don't use PS2 ports any longer. I use this to switch between my Athlon gaming rig and my PowerMac G4. Use a Logitech Wirelss MX Duo setup on one of the USB ports, and my printer on the other. Not using hotkeys or software to switch, have the box in a convenient location. Got this as a refurbed unit, and has worked perfectly!
