Excellent cooling solution for the FX 8370....BUT....
........Choose your case carefully unless, like me, you already have your build and are just swapping out the CPU cooler and don't care that you can't use the case side panel because this beast, and I mean BEAST, prevents me from closing up my Rosewill mid-tower case. Frankly, it doesn't bother me since having access to more air is all the better. The 2 huge fans move so much air at lower RPM's that even with the side panel off I never hear the fans, even while playing heavy games. Mounting it on the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 board is really easy but you must remove the board from the case. With only one screw on two sides holding this heavy beast to the board, I have concerns about potential board breakage, or even cpu damage, from supporting all that weight on its side. Finally, I did have to raise the end fan to clear my Hyper-X memory modules....not a big deal. If you're wary of liquid cooling, as I am, this is the Rolls Royce of air coolers. As a pragmatist, aesthetics are of no importance to me, but I can see how beige and brown would be something people will complain about. Would I buy another? For air cooling a gaming system, absolutely! It doesn't get any better than this. For my general-purpose desktop which uses the same board, cpu and memory, my Scythe Big Shuriken 2 is an adequate cooler at about half the price of the NH-D15.

Good value. 64mb cache speeds up read times. Hard to beat price per mb.
Its a mechanical hard drive with a 64mb cache which helps with read times. I like Seagate and use them in all my builds. The price per mb makes it a good value. How long it will last? Your guess is as good as mine. Other 1tb Seagate drive I have has lasted 4 years now without one hiccup. Very light in weight for a 1tb drive. If you want read/write speed, go SSD.

An excellent home computer overall
Introduced in 2007-2008, the A210 sports a respectable AMD Turion x2 64 bit processor and 2 gigabytes of RAM. This machine will meet all the home computer's needs but it is no gaming system. In my opinion, anyone looking for a gaming system will always benefit from a custom-built clone desktop, but for all other tasks, the A210 will not disappoint. The set-back is the Vista 32 bit operating system which is a resource hog for nothing and unfortunately Toshiba did not offer a free upgrade to Windows 7. I wiped the hard drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and downloaded the additional drivers from Toshiba, though only a couple are needed since the SP1 update. The performance is instantly noticable. In Vista, performance experience was rated at 4.8....in Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, performance experience jumped to 6.2.....held back only by weak Radeon graphics chip and 2 gigabytes of RAM total system memory.
For the $200 I paid for the A210 on Ebay, it is well worth the money compared to buying new. The chasis is well built and the machine feels solid and hefty. I cannot comment on battery run times as the battery that came with my A210 no longer holds a charge, but a new battery is not out of reach.
