Most Favorable Review

Silent

SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-750 White 750 W ATX 3.1 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supplies
SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-750 White 750 W ATX 3.1 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supplies

Pros: Hybrid mode- turns off fan when not under heavy use. It never turns with my usage on so it is silent

Overall Review: Solid little PSU. Had to get a bigger one to run a 5080 in another rig, so it ended up in another build. It runs a intel 12th gen computer w/ an Intel ARC B570 just fine. Silent.

Most Critical Review

shorted on rebate

HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G
HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G

Pros: It works

Cons: They shorted me on the rebate. I bought 2 sets and sent in all the stuff that was required and they only paid 1/2 the rebate($25). I wont be buying anymore Kingston memory.

Overall Review: With all the other memory choices available it seems a bit counterproductive to be messing with peoples rebates. Oh well- I'm done with Kingston.

disregard last review

HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G
HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G

Pros: Kingston sent the second rebate check a couple days after the first. I take back what I said and actually they were very fast paying out the rebate. I guess I can keep buying Kingston now.

Cons: none

BOUGHT 2 4G PACKS

HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G
HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2T1K2/4G

Pros: Bought 2x4g and it works perfectly.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Not my first hyper-x purchase. Not too worried about the rebate, Kingston is a top tier memory provider

one for two...aka batting .500

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast, somewhat durable, WD is a great company that stands behind their products.

Cons: I've bought two of these from a B&M locally. One was noisy from the start and died at about 18 months. The second is the drive in the computer I'm posting this on. It has never been noisy at all and is running strong after 3-4 years. The 150g drive I rma'd was replaced with a 300g raptor. I've had relatively few WD drives fail through the years and overall they seem pretty bulletproof.
