What a POWER BLOCK

ABS Tagan ITZ Series ITZ800-V2 800 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
ABS Tagan ITZ Series ITZ800-V2 800 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: I could not believe the amount of cables coming off this thing. This power supply is great!! Not too hard to fit either.

Cons: Might have too many cables.

Overall Review: Great price for the amount of power and aux cables.

Very nice for the price.

Acer X1261P XGA 1024x768 2700 Lumens 3D Ready DLP Projector
Acer X1261P XGA 1024x768 2700 Lumens 3D Ready DLP Projector

Pros: The main thing I love about this projector is how far away it will project an image. I have mine set right at 16.5ft and my screen size is right about 120" and it is very clear. For the price it is a great entry level projector. Excellent for movies and playing games.

Cons: Could have come with a 4-pin S-video connector. It has been a pain finding one that converts to composite. Also cannot get the projector to show in its native resolution. Controller is horrible.

Pretty Amazing

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 285 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N285UD-1GH
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 285 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N285UD-1GH

Pros: The car is very fast. I run Battlefield BC2 on full settings (includes VSYNC and HBOA) in 1920x1080 and I have between 35-70fps, the low end being when there are large explosions and full screen action. Most of the gameplay is about 50fps. Car is great!

Cons: Wish the card was DirectX 11, but you cant win them all.

Overall Review: For the price this card will beat anything out there.

GREAT BOARD FOR OC!!

DFI LANPARTY DK X48-T2RS LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI LANPARTY DK X48-T2RS LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I like that fact you can take this board, throw it in and it works perfect. OC is very easy on this board with AUTO memory setting. I have a 3.3Ghz Wolfdale running 4.2Ghz no problems at all.

Cons: Heatpipes on the NB are constricting for CPU Heatsink choices. Buying the heatsink is the hardest part about this setup. I used the ASUS Silent Square and moified the bracket. Worked great after the dremeling.

Overall Review: I recently got rid of my DFI Lanparty 590/SLI and I notied the difference right away. Great board.

BEST ONE YET!!

ASUS Silent Square EVO 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler
ASUS Silent Square EVO 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler

Pros: I was running the stock Heatsink on a 3.3Ghz Wolfdale running stock speed and the temps were 42c idle. After installing this heatsink idle was low 30s OC to 4.2Ghz and voltage turned up to 1.28. Under load runs right about 50c. Very happy.

Cons: FITMENT!! Yes, as said is the last 100 reviews, IT IS LARGE, but that was a problem I did not have to deal with. My problem was the bracket would not fit between my Heatpipes coming off the NB. I had to modify it using a dremel, but after that, worked great.

Overall Review: Plain and simple, BEST COOLER I HAVE OWNED.

Begs to be OC

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 3.33 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80570E8600
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 3.33 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80570E8600

Pros: Not only is the price reasonable, but you get unbelievable speed with minimal effort. I am running 4.2Ghz idle is 36 and load never goes beyond 50. Using the stock cooler @ 3.3Ghz idle was 42. Overclocked to 4.2Ghz w/ Asus Silent Square +.15v idle is 36.

Cons: Heat sink is trash. Dropped the temp 20c by changing that alone.

Overall Review: Setup includes: ASUS Silent Square EVO 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler, OCZ 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 running 1033, SAPPHIRE 100242-1GL Radeon HD 4850 1GB, and DFI LANPARTY DK X48-T2RS LGA 775. Very nice setup.
