Pros:- Is the cheapest stuff outthere!- container should hold well against an impact, so moving it is not a problem- no artic silver but performance is fine
Cons:- is not 20 grams, could be around 10 though- after a while the content of the cup tends to separate (oil and white stuff) so a stir is needed before each use.
Other Thoughts:it is great that DTW takes care of the DIY-guys like me out there, minimum cost, maximum output keep up the good work DTW!
Bottomline:buy this when you like to keep your hardware cool without spending a lot of money, don't use this on your precious hi-end hardware though!

Pros:Cheap and you get lots of paste. Individually bagged to prevent leakage during shipment as a precaution. None of mine leaked inside of outside bag.Non-hardening compund.
Cons:Paste separates very quickly in tub. Tub isn't perfectly sealed when you replace the top. We had one tub laying on it's side and it leaked silicone fluid on the table. Compound separated like natural peanut butter.
Other Thoughts:Give it a stir when you first use it to get it all mixed together again. Keep the tub upright to prevent spills. Easily packages into syringes and dispenses easily. Good general purpose compound for most electronic work from TVs, receivers, and ICs to include computer chips.
Bottomline:Cheap price, but you have to watch the tub to prevent leaks. Not top of the line compound, but it's cheap enough that you're not afraid to use it as you're supposed to.

Pros:It does what its supposed to do and I have proof because I used it on a processors heatsink and many high powered laser heatsinks.
Cons:Not the absolute best but it will do the job. 100% efficiency is hard to achive with a compound that only costs about $2.00
Other Thoughts:I would recommend using this for very basic things. I don't think it would be wise for someone to use it on a system that they are overclocking. The price for that ammount is fine. I don't know why everyone else is complaining.
Bottomline:Buy this product if you need a little bit for DIY projects. It works for me and and that is one more positive review to coax you to buy.

Pros:Actually I am surprised by this compound.Very good all purpose compound.Worked great when fixing 2 RROD Xbox 360's
Cons:It's been mentioned before about the quantity you get for this is somewhat half or less filled in the little bottle. Make the price under $2.00 to justify this product.
Other Thoughts:We all know this ain't no Arctic Silver, but it sure does get the job done. Worked great when used for fixing 2 Xbox 360's.
Bottomline:Like mention make the price under $2 and you have a clear winner here folks.
