Most Favorable Review

Pricy, but I'm still loving it!

Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Very fast. I had a Raptor before and I thought that was fast. After I had this baby installed, it cut my vista load time in half. And it's much quieter that my Raptor. I can't hear a thing! And it's lighter than Raptor.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. Compared to a 150G Raptor, this thing is even cheaper, and did I mention it's faster? :)

Most Critical Review

1.6GHz?

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ955FBGIBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ955FBGIBOX

Pros: Supposed to be a very good processor.

Cons: Booted up right away, but only runs at 1.6GHz!!!

Overall Review: OK, I see there are other people here having the same problem I'm having. Can anyone help me out here? Should I just RMA it for another one?

Still trying to figure it out

EVGA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 017-P3-1294-AR
EVGA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 017-P3-1294-AR

Pros: Supposed to be the best video card on the market as of right now.

Cons: Power hunger, heavy, and generates a lot of heat!

Overall Review: I don't know why but after I ran the 3DMark Vantage, it only scores 24000+ graphic points and I have two of these installed. I remember I scored almost the same points with two GTX280 F-T-W cards. It shows SLI is enabled, but nowhere to found about "Quad SLI". I remember when I had two 9800GX2 installed, it showed "Quad SLI" somewhere. Can any expert help me out here? Thanks!

Great CPU

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.83 GHz LGA 775 95W Desktop Processor - BX80569Q9550
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.83 GHz LGA 775 95W Desktop Processor - BX80569Q9550

Pros: Quad core, LGA775, 12MB L2 Cache, low power consumption.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'll never buy Extreme edition processors again. This thing is so easy to overclock with, just as fast as my QX9650, but cost a lot less. Plus, it consumes less power, means it'll stay cooler. 3.8GHz @ 1.28v stable. 32C idle and 48C under full load with a Zalman 9700.

Not perfect

Antec Skeleton Black ATX Tower Computer Case
Antec Skeleton Black ATX Tower Computer Case

Pros: Unique looking. Somewhat looks like those tech stations, but prettier. Has everything you need from a computer case, huge fan on top, beautiful lighting. Easy to install all the parts, including my GTX260. Very light weight since it's made of plastic.

Cons: Wish the top fan were removable. Front panel wires are kind of too short. ATX motherboards only. It's actually bigger than you would imagine. The position of the PSU is awkward.

Overall Review: Great design. One of a kind. Could have done it better, but no regret of buying it.

Tiny and very quiet!

ASUS Desktop PC Eee Box EBXB202-BLK-X0023 Intel Atom N270 1GB DDR2 80GB HDD Intel GMA 950 Windows XP Home
ASUS Desktop PC Eee Box EBXB202-BLK-X0023 Intel Atom N270 1GB DDR2 80GB HDD Intel GMA 950 Windows XP Home

Pros: It's small, almost the same size as my router. Very easy to install. It's extremely quiet, it's right next to me and I can't hear it at all. It consumes much less power than average PC. Has quite a few features for that kind of price.

Cons: Single core CPU, 1G of RAM and XP Home. Took some time to get used to it since my other computer is way faster than this one. Adding extra RAM can be a little trouble. Be very careful when you open the side panel. No optical drive.

Overall Review: Great value for the money! Added another gig of RAM and this thing runs very smooth.
