Excellent card
Pros: Due to unfortunate electrical issues at my home I had to build a new gaming system. I decided to purchase this card because the price was right and the specification are great. I just can not see spending $200 - $300 more bucks for very marginal improvements with these new high end cards. I have been very impressed with this cards performance I have had no driver issues and it handles well the games that I play with every thing on high settings. Paired with ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard and 8 gigs of Patriot 1600 ram I max out settings on Mech Warrior, Rise of Flight, Battle Field 4. This card handles Vector Works, auto CAD and Photoshop with no issues. If your on a budget or not I would highly recommend this card as it does it's job well.
Cons: none
Overall Review: My machine never shuts down unless it is for an update and when I an not gaming or working on it I use it to FOLD for the [H]orde via the Stanford folding@home project. Watching my card with GPU Meteri never see this card go above 75° with stock cooler.
Not Impressed
Pros: Product is made just fine. you get what you pay for. keeps temps on par with the stock cooler, when gaming or heavy use like folding keeps temp stable but at a higher temp than I was anticipating.
Cons: not very secure allows for a lot of movement after install. lapping of heat sink is rather poor. this unit keeps the temps right in range with the stock cooler nothing stellar.
Overall Review: The lap job on heat sink is rather poor and needs more work to be efficient.right out of the box it does work however would perform much better with some polishing. This unit will keep temps stable but if you want real cooling for over clocking I would look elsewhere.
Clean and shiney
Pros: Awesome laptop, sturdy, fast and virtually new like reconditioning. The best thing is they only installed the necessary parts of windows to get her running and not all the other mess from dell.
Cons: No cons, not for you
Overall Review: The tubular packaging they delivered in is so awesome and protective my wife is sewing a pouch to contain it and us as a carrying case.
Great product
Pros: Did a lot of research before i jumped on this. I have owned it a couple years and purchased it for a back up of my wifes computer, she works in billing out out of the home. Set up with easytodo back up software and hardly even know it's there. quiet and cool, I just need to remember that I have it mounted to the underside of her desk and blow it out when ever i open the computer cases and clean the innards.
Cons: The only con is that i have not bought another one. It's time to purchase 2 more one for my system and one for the church media pc for redundancy.
Overall Review: want a very simple solution for backing up stuff you do not want to lose or additional storage. This is it.
Good for the money
Pros: Just bought a new set because my dog got tangled in my old ones and well they got ripped apart. They are a great price and you get decent sound quality for the money. Good for gaming and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. If you wear glasses and they start to bug a bit that is your sign, get up and take a break. My last pair I used a couple years and never had one issue, the mic always worked well on TS and good enough for you tube recordings and the sound never gave out and they are comfortable for extended use.
Cons: not dog proof The foam mic tip will eventualy fall off or just break down from your bad breath. Pro tip ~ take some cheese cloth or gause "one wrap around" place a small bead of glue to the sides of the mic not the part that has the holes then make your wrap, put a rubberband around it then go to bed. When you wake up you will have a new free mic cover.
Overall Review: You want better sound your going to need to spend more but honestly there is not $40 difference in these and an $80 set.
Nice and sturdy
Pros: Nice simplistic design and very easy to use and holds 2 SSD drives. This holds the drives in very sturdy and is an simple install. The price is very nice performs exactly as described. If you have large old man hands like me then you may find that the 3 prong grasping tool in most computer tool kits will be of a help to hold the included pins. I installed this into an Emermax tooless case and the clips lined up perfectly
Cons: No cons here, great product. Great Value
Overall Review: I found this to be perfect however ones needs to plan their build out. I had previously performed the task of cable management and had not left enough length accessible for an easy install, my fault. Even with rerouting a couple wires and reconfiguring my tie downs the install only took about 4 minutes.
Awesome sturdy packaging and fast shipping
Awesome sturdy packaging and fast shipping, The laptop was in virtually new condition fully reconditioned and serviced. I would recommend to others and will use them again.
