Pros: Looks really neat Good price for promised capabilities

Cons: QC Inspection Size

Overall Review: I'm disappointed to be sending this card back without being able to try it out. When I read in other reviews that it was too big for people's computer cases, for some reason I assumed they meant it was too tall . This thing measures 1.5" tall by 4.5" deep by ~11" long!, which made it too big to fit in my case. If manufacturers are going to make cards this big, I think that they should list the dimensions on their websites or at least on the box (as should Newegg) so that consumers don't get a surprise when they open them up and try to install. I also found while trying multiple configs to make the card fit that there was something rattling around inside its case, so even if it would fit, I wouldn't want to run my computer with it installed. Maybe I just got a rare lemon, but make sure you know your space constraints before you buy this video card.
