It's big.

Pros: This thing is huge. I love it. Seems to do it's job pretty well. Make sure it will fit in your case. Mine is in full tower ATX.
Cons: Not a single piece of solid copper.
Overall Review: A pretty good cooler for the money. Got for $5 with combo deal. Excellent choice. Much better than stock. Might want to check into your own thermal.

ghostly

Pros: It was a killer deal for black friday. Got the tv with 2 year warranty. Speakers are loud enough not to need external. Looks nice.
Cons: I can't stand to use it. Everything ghosts really bad. My wife says she can't see it, but I went from a lower-res CRT to this, and now I can't even play Halo or watch action movies, because any rapid movement turns the screen into a giant smear. It totally sucks.
Overall Review: Given that nobody else has complained about incredible amounts of ghosting/motion blur, I am starting to suspect that I've actually got a bad unit. I suppose I can try returning it. I mean, I know 720p, 60hz, 6.5ms isn't going to have the best picture, but I've never seen a good working lcd this bad. Wish me luck.
FAIL

Pros: This drive looked very nice. Aside from being a few millimeters off of the fit of my case, it was very classy once installed.
Cons: Of course, it's pure decoration if it doesn't open or close. Trust me, I tried it all. Only the paperclip worked, and frankly, that kills the whole joy for me. Sorry Asus, but even a pretty paperweight is still just a paperweight. Not worth $19. Not worth $9. Not worth the space in my system if it was free. Over all, I am very disappointed.
Overall Review: Hard to find a 5 egg optical drive. Apparently even that doesn't mean much though. Mark me down for DOA: disappointed on arrival :-(
Pro Ram

Pros: Hasn't burned out or anything. Runs at the full 1600mhz. Wish it was 1800mhz, since that's what my board supports. Oh well. Killer price/performance ratio. Great buy.
Cons: Not as pretty as some ram I've seen, but still not bad to show off with my clear-sided case.

Solid so far

Pros: A great processor for the money, although athlon would have been a good budget substitute. Going for core unlocking though, which makes this a happy gamble.
Cons: Having some trouble stabilizing with all 4 cores, but so far, it seems mostly okay.

Works great.

Pros: Powers my system without a hiccup. A solid psu for the price. Great option!
Cons: No cable sleeves.
Overall Review: I haven't tested it's full potential yet, but we'll see. System: Phenom II 550 X2 3.1ghz unlocked to X4. 4gb ddr3 1600mhz g.skill ripjaws ram. Radeon 4830 open-box. Asus m4a77TD open-box. Orion XPOWER585 585w psu. Cheap gaming build!
