Most Favorable Review

Quality, Simplicity and Performance

ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Price, Quality, Performance and Simplicity. This board was a perfect fit for me. Didn't need or want to pay for SLI. Everything went smooth, No problems. Great build experience.

Cons: absolutely none.

Overall Review: First time buying an ASUS product. Would definitely buy again.

Gets The Job Done

D-Link Xtreme-N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (DAP-1522) Wireless N300, Dual-Band, Fast Ethernet
D-Link Xtreme-N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (DAP-1522) Wireless N300, Dual-Band, Fast Ethernet

Pros: easy setup. price. had it working on my existing network in 10 mins. 100MB speed.

Cons: no 5GHZ in bridge mode.

Overall Review: not a con for me but.... has internal intennas. may not be ideal for longer distances or if you have to penetrate a few walls/floors. I have good signal at 40ft from my wireless router. only one indoor wall to go through.

It's a Hard Drive

Pros: So far so good. What can one say about a mechanical HDD... its stable and seems to be sufficiently fast. Bought it for my data and it does the job well. Use a SSD for OS and programs.

Cons: None

SMOKES

G.SKILL FALCON 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) FM-25S2S-128GBF1

Pros: This drive is so fast i thought i saw flames comming out the pc. Welcome to the future. Based on the quality and price of the competition, I'd say this one is a clear winner. Get one and future-proof your rig.

Cons: None

Rock Solid, Low Latency Memory

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C7 G
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C7 G

Pros: Easy to OC and very stable. For the money (unless you want to spend an arm and leg on Mushkin), some of the best low-latency, high quality memory around.

Cons: one

Future Proof

Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: Built a new rig with this chip. There is so much headroom, it'll last years. OC is easy. If you're not too greedy, you won't have a problem with the stock cooler.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Don't hold the chip back by marrying it with a cheap motherboard, slow HDD or memory.
