Most Favorable Review

Nice

Rexus NMB-MAT (Panaflo) 120mm Case Fan
Rexus NMB-MAT (Panaflo) 120mm Case Fan

Pros: Great fan. High quality made, makes a load of difference. As far as I can tell, it produces just about as much air flow as the specs state.

Cons: Hurts when I poke it.

Overall Review: Loudness is not a con, it clearly states how loud it will be in the specifications, therefore it is expected to be loud.

Most Critical Review

Foxconn N68S7AA-8EKRS2H LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Foxconn N68S7AA-8EKRS2H LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Air cooled chipsets, many options in bios.

Cons: Does not OC well at all. Somehow mine decided one day to not run with 2 gigs of ram, could only handle one. One week later, won't boot at all. Goes into bios and then freezes after 5-10.

Overall Review: If you want a mobo for OCing or anything at all stable or useful, don't get this, get an Asus.

Great Board

Pros: Great OC board Looks great Stable

Cons: the NB cooler fades a red LED in and out which I find annoying, but more so the NB heatsink is HUGE. It sticks out so far and is so long that it blocks one of my radiators in my case. It is my fault for not carefully checking dimensions, but I've never encountered such a large (unnecessarily so) heatsink on the NB before.

Nice drive

Pros: Operates as advertised. Average temps (35 C)

Cons: None

Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black)
Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black)

Pros: Does what is advertised to do without adding complexity. Simple, fairly easy to set up, comes with several adapters.

Cons: Short cables. If you have a large case like mine with a lot of parts that require power, it is hard to configure. I had to mod several to make them reach. Also, LED's are incredibly bright.

Overall Review: If you are looking for something that does the job without looking completely ridiculous like some of these fancy super bright, flashy, light up panels, this is for you. I haven't tried yet but I am sure you can disable the lights if it bothers you enough...

SAMSUNG 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 2 ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI-D 226BW
SAMSUNG 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 2 ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI-D 226BW

Pros: 2ms, 22", widescreen, easy setup, lightweight, etc etc...

Cons: Expensive, although all quality items are going to be expensive. Not a fan of the different panels. S model is the best and from what I can tell is the rarest. I got the C model and have a friend that got the A. But you shouldn't worry about this too much, even with the slightly downgraded panel it is the best monitor on the market.
