Great air-mover

Rexus NMB-MAT (Panaflo) 120mm Case Fan

Pros: Moves a ton of air.

Cons: If its in your house, you won't sleep at night. This thing sounds like a jet engine.

Most Critical Review

A few questions

Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model PEP22G6400EL
Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model PEP22G6400EL

Pros: Haven't had any problems operating at normal clock speed

Cons: Unstable when the 266 MHz clock is bumped to 275MHz... Worked OK when bumped back down, but my 4Gb is only showing up as 3.25 Gb. I'm not up on my hardware problems, so this may be my fault, but seems like I may have damaged it bumping up the clock speed.

Its a DVI cable!

BYTECC DVI-D25 Male to Male DVI-D Dual-Link Digital Cable w/Ferrites
BYTECC DVI-D25 Male to Male DVI-D Dual-Link Digital Cable w/Ferrites

Pros: Its a long-run cable and it works.

Cons: Its as long a cable as you would want to use. NOTE: Tried 50-foot cable. NO signal.

Good.

Spire SP507B7-U 80mm Ball CPU Cooler
Spire SP507B7-U 80mm Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: It is an effective cooler, and is the only cooler that fits my case and fan configuration.

Cons: Not significantly cooler than the stock fan/sink combo, but keeps the thing in an acceptable range.

Good RAM

HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/4G
HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/4G

Pros: Great memory. Beleive it or not, my computer seems twice as fast and tests much higher than it did with the same amount of DDR2 Patriot brand memory.

Cons: Double the cost of the cheap stuff... But double the quality too.

Overall Review: Its worth it if you can lay down the cash.
