Cons: It can't make waffles.

Overall Review: I've put 10 of these in my case, and I can barley hear them.

The Artifacts of Life: An R9 280x Story

ASUS Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R9280X-DC2T-3GD5
ASUS Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R9280X-DC2T-3GD5

Pros: When the card worked it worked very well, and stayed at about 40 - 45c under load, being of course cooled by liquid.

Cons: Let me count the ways I've been let down... 1. This card artifacts 2. RMA'd it to ASUS, ASUS sent it back to me saying it was fine... 3. This card artifacts... STILL! These cards are nothing but a waste of time and money and any sensible person would see the reviews stating the same fact that these cards are by design bad, and artifact. I felt as though when talking with ASUS about the "Artifacting Problem" that this was news to them that this was happening! (HOW!) This has been a hassle pulling these cards in and out of my water cooled PC, and wasting the money on water blocks, for what is essentially now a brick. The 7970's were better made than these cards, I feel as though ASUS is just pushing these cards out for Bitcoin miners, and giving the middle finger to the gamers.

Overall Review: Do not buy this card! Get an R9 290/290x or better!

Great Monitor!

ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 144Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED NVIDIA 3D Gaming Monitor

Pros: - Great Screen Resolution: 144Hz, 80,000,000: 1, and 1Ms GTG - Great Price (Got it it on sale) - Screen Crosshairs - Nice Solid Stand/ Color

Cons: - 1 HDMI Port - 3D Capability With Only Nvidia

Overall Review: I would of liked for the front options to be back light with an LED so I can see what I'm pressing, and the Menu button layout is difficult at times. All-in-All ASUS has made another fine product, and customer happy.

Great Case

NZXT SWITCH 810 Matte Black CA-SW810-M1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case
NZXT SWITCH 810 Matte Black CA-SW810-M1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

Pros: The case has a lot of room, and can be fully disassembled, for owner customization. If you are thinking about putting in a Corsair H110, the ability to fully disassemble the top part of the case to get the RAD in is very useful. The amount of fans you can install into this case is unreal for maximum cooling. The case is well made, and the product just feels solid.

Cons: The only Con I can find about this case is the power button on the top of the case. It feels really cheap, and could break any minute when pressing it down.

Overall Review: - Installed 11 fans in this case! - Fits a 11.2Inch GPU with the HDD cage & fan!
