Most Favorable Review

Just to let you know.

Intel Xeon E5603 Westmere-EP 1.6 GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 4MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 80W BX80614E5603 Server Processor

Pros: Everything the other guys said.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Other reviews point out that there is no heatsink included. This is very common with server chips. I would actually be surprised if you did get one when buying a server chip.

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: BIG, just what you need in size for today's HUGE video cards, especially if you plan on running them in SLI or Crossfire. Lots of air flow, of course. Lots of room for your extra toys (HDD, CD/DVD, etc.) Endless available fan configurations.

Cons: None for this rig that I put together. The next rig I have in planning uses the new EVGA x58 SLI Classified 4-Way mobo with 4 EVGA GTX 285 Classified GPUs (Yes 4, and will be in 4x SLI) The CON, you need 10 expansion slots for this setup. I would have gone with this case again if it had enough slots. You know, you never really can have enough slots. lol

Overall Review: Maybe call it by a different name? Instead of High Air Flow, how about Hot Air Farewell.

Pros: Great card. Dual DVI output for 2 display setup. SVideo out for TV.

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Overall Review: I have two of these running in 2x SLI and man can they do some amazing things. Especially great displaying on my 32" 16:9 LCD TV/Monitor.
