Pros: Plenty of power on the 12V rail. Quiet

Cons: Not modular, lots of cables to manage. Could have better warranty like some of the other PSU's.

Not Happy

ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard

Pros: None

Cons: First, I bought this as an open box because I didn't want to wait for new one to come in. Warning for those who haven't bought open box before. You sign a waiver that SOME parts maybe missing. In this case all of them were missing . I got the board and that is it. It was obviously an RMA already as it had a sticker on RMA sticker on the box. The board worked for a day and quit. Newegg took it back but I had to pay shipping and also pay restocking fee for bad board... Lousy Newegg. Went back to old Gigabyte board I bought as bundle with CPU and running great (didn't buy from Newegg).

Not Bad

Pros: Decent case for the money. I like the PSU mounted in the bottom.

Cons: Side fan a little loud but no biggy I just took it out and replaced it.

Not Happy

Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 996770
Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 996770

Pros: This is in regards to my previous post with same title regarding the memory. Found out it was not the memory or the PSU. I have a real flight simulator and the USB connection on the controller for some reason caused my system to reboot. The motherboard has partial USB boot to let me use the mouse and keyboard before going into windows.

Cons: none

Great card for the money

Pros: This replaced an X1600XT and score on 3Dmark06 jumped almost 4000 pts. Great value for the performance you get. Awesome!!!

Cons: None so far

WOW

Pros: This replaced an X1600XT and I couldn't play WWII online in the lowest settings (less than 20fps). With this card I have it set at the highest settings and I've had up to 200 fps in the air and near 100 on the ground with resolution set to 1600x1200 (stock settings). You want a very good card for not a whole lot, this is it. In my opinion a great bang for the buck. Plus you get a free controller and a $xx rebate.

Cons: None so far
