Hard to find & funny, but not worth stupid money
It is a model kit, so no, it isn't what you call "durable". It is, however, a funny exaggerated twist on the muscle cars of the 70s. Not complex to build at all, but there are a few fitment issues with the front & rear fascias. Not a deal killer by any stretch of the imagination. I mean, it is called "model building".

Extended life...
Great for breathing new life into your older computer. With this you can get through an entire dvd without killing the battery.

Last of the great Socket 939
3 of 3 found this helpful What's not to love really... It hangs in there with the best of dual core processors out there and barely breaks a sweat. Pared with the proper video card and a separate audio card, any system would be proud to have this processor sitting atop it as its CPU crown. Matter of fact, I will probably migrate this baby over to a micro-ITX motherboard for a HTPC just as soon as the funds become available.
Now, obviously, this isn't going to appeal to the quad core crowd and most certainly not the intel fanboys. For the purposes of this review I have no standing on either company, but let's be honest, corporations in the business of making software for stress testing are governing their wares to play with whomever is greasing their pockets the best and those test results will reflect accordingly. And truth be known, a 600 horsepower diesel engine from a tractor truck does different work than a 600 horsepower engine from a 800 pound sports car (i.e., they're two different kinds of machines), but still not far enough apart that they can't still be used for similar kinds of jobs.
Look, this processor isn't going to run Crisis at 2400x2400, full tilt, 4x AA, with whatever new 80th generation matrix muxing 3D mud mapping, but neither is Intel's i80 (yes, I pulled that out of my ass too...).
For a good, rock solid Linux based system/server or for a solid home theater PC (for at least the next 2 possibly 3 years) then I recommend this processor as a base for that system. It still operates at a much cooler temperature than a comparable Intel solution, it uses less wattage (which is a nice consideration for the HTPC set up) and can still be EASILY overclocked to 3.0Ghz with the factory cooling solution.
I suppose if there were a complaint to be had here it would be that this processor does maintain a higher price tag than comparable or lesser (slightly) CPUs in the same classification. But given the three meager aforementioned reasons for wanting this processor, I suppose I can see why it still holds that premium.
