I just got this board in. So far so good. The price is unbelievable for what you get imo. I've got 6GB ram, a 1gb pci-e x16 nvidia gtx 285, amd phenom 915e 1.8ghz, 6 usb devices plugged in, win 7 x64 etc and it's taking it like a champ.
The best feature and what I was looking for was the ability to OC my CPU since I'm only running a 1.8ghz (it came with the pc). with the stock cpu fan I've got it running at 2.25GHz just by adjusting the frequency (no voltage changes). I've purchased a newer and better cpu fan so when I get that installed I'll see what I can get it to.
Since the board is only a few days old I'll come back and edit the review if anything should bust.
Replacement 60 Watt Magsafe Power Adapter for Macbook, Macbook Pro Review
This replacement for a failed MacBook adapter works well, the price was excellent, delivery was prompt and packaging was appropriate. Apple charges too much for this simple item and having a significantly cheaper alternative is an example of the free market operating at its best.
The only comment I'd make is that the photo of the item in the Amazon ad may leave the impression that this is an Apple product, when it is a replacement for the OEM's adapter; however, the text description ("Replacement 60-Watt... Adapter") is accurate.
Overall, very happy with this purchase.

Replacement 60 Watt Magsafe Power Adapter for Macbook, Macbook Pro Overview
The 60 Watt replacement Apple Portable Power Adapter features the MagSafe Connector, a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the Head of the DC connector will light. An amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage. This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.

Epson 68 Series DURABrite High Capacity Color Multipack (T068520) Review
These High Capacity cartridges are great! Amazon creates a bit of confusion in that they show my printers and tell me these won't work on the printer I have been using them in...the Epson Workforce 600. So, I almost did not buy them,until I scrolled down and under product description, they list my printer. So, Amazon is screwed up. These cartriges work fine in the Workforce 600.

Usually you sacrifice flexibility for quality when dealing with eSATA cables, but not in this case. The cable is almost as flexible as an internal SATA cable - so there is no pulling or twisting as you would expect from a rigid eSATA cable connected to an external drive. I highly recommend this cable.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-BU 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook with Kindle for PC (11 Hours of Battery Life) Review
I received my netbook on Wednesday but wanted to wait for a few days before voicing my opinion. I'm glad I did.
Like many, I changed the RAM to 2 GB, though I did this prior to turning the computer on for the first time. Following that, I pressed the wrong "power" button and found myself in Asus' Express Gate, which immediately frustrated me because I thought that that was it - I was stuck with those four programs, with no way of accessing the large hard drive, etc.. One short panic attack later, I did some Googling and realized that you're supposed to press the button on the right to access Windows 7. So I did.
I spent the next few hours attempting to customize, but installing an antivirus program, backing up the computer, dealing with the "your antivirus programs are off" flag and not realizing that the netbook was attempting to update its own antivirus program in the background made everything lock up. I was only able to do things once every few minutes, and I was worried that the problem was either with the memory or with the netbook or with Windows 7. In any case, not happy.
One day later, with a much cooler head, I played around a bit with it, adding in Asus' System Setting utility so that I could change the background. It turned out that once I stopped being an idiot trying to run too many installers at once, the 2GB memory was more than enough to keep everything running smoothly. Go figure ;)
There were a lot of complaints about Windows 7 Starter, but now that they've removed the three-app restriction, I find that it's really easy to work with. I installed Office 2007 and haven't had any issues as I work on my book or browse the internet. A lot of the upgrades in Windows 7 Ultimate had to do with movie playback/recording and DVDs, none of which are functions that I intend to use on this tiny little thing. I even tested it out and found that I can use a VGA cable and hook up my television as a monitor. I'm hoping that this translates into a projector-friendly function.
It does take a little while to get used to the keyboard, and I find that my hands rest with my palms on the wristrest and my arms on the table. My actual wrists are hovering in midair, which is annoying but not wholly uncomfortable. Just have to get used to it, I suppose.
If you read through this whole review, thanks. I think that the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU27-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook with Kindle for PC (11 Hours of Battery Life) is a great purchase. I wouldn't use it for Photoshopping, but for a day-to-day alternative to the heavy-duty laptop, it does quite well. (Please note that it was a bit pinker than I expected. Must be a trick of the lighting.)
