ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: great mobo well made and had everything i needed with plenty of expansion ports ans usb support. looks good and would like to build another box with all of the cool led lights and windows to show it off. great new bios interface and seems to be really to over clock. i also like the ability to adjust fan speed in bios it is stupid simple

Cons: none

Most Critical Review

Locks up

AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX
AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX

Pros: Cheap 8 cores New eggs return service

Cons: Did not work AMD has un-helpful customer service Metal box it cam in is cool although AMD put a hole in the side of it making it completely use less. Just so you can see the "piece" processor on the side.

Overall Review: I have always had issues with AMD video cards in the past, so I had my doubts and went against them this time thinking maybe AMD got their act together. And I was totally wrong. I did not read the right reviews and I wish I did before I made the purchase. All of the reviews are for the most part bad and most of them had the same issues as me. It seems to run very hot and will lock up at system idle or doing basic task like launching a web page or running software installs. I called my MOBO (AsRock) got all the newest BIOS updates and made sure their were no Driver issues as well. It has to be the CPU it self. After looking at bench marks don't waste your time and just get the I5 chip it will blow away this chip. Even IF AMD makes their corrects and IF Microsoft makes patches to make this chip run better even then I still think Intel will smoke this chip on just 4 cores. Or spend about 50 more and step up to a I7 chip. After this I will always stay Intel.

Good radio

Sony Marine CD Receiver
Sony Marine CD Receiver

Pros: This one was dead when I received it. Seems to have a lot of features and connections. Neweggs return policy.

Cons: Not sure why this radio has the "marine" badge on it. It only has a piece of plastic on top of the body. I am guess this is all you have to have to be considered it to be marine . Sony should include Bluetooth like the non marine versions. If you are mounting in your boat I suggest a water proof radio cover. I went with different route when i got this radio since it was bunk to begin with.

Overall Review: I bought marine version because I thought it will only work with the marine remotes. That is not true. If your radio had a CD changes plug in or supports the wired steering wheel remotes it will support the marine remotes. So if you have a dry place for you radio go with a car radio. It will give you more features at the same of less cost.

Really Nice

Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002983 Black 8 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse
Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002983 Black 8 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse

Pros: Awesome looks great and works really good. Mouse only uses one AA battery. Mouse feels really good and the keyboard is very quiet and the keys feel good to the touch.

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: I have a much older version if a (Deluxe 650) Logitech wireless mouse/keyboard and the mouse battery will not last very long. I get a lot longer use between battery changes with a high capacity rechargeable battery but still seems to die about once a month. I hope this model is a lot more energy efficient.
