Pros: Good card for the money, solid performer for gaming systems under Windows OS. I get a constant 60FPS with my Sun GDM1950 monitor (it's a 60Hertz tube monitor) in World of Warcraft. I am certain the card would do better if I had a better monitor.

Cons: No HDMI outputs on the card. No Linux drivers available from NVidia during time of purchase. NVidia doesn't open source their drivers for the Linux world as well, which is unfortunate for everyone.

Overall Review: Runs cooler than the 8800GTS and seems a bit quieter. Other than the fact NVidia chooses to keep this hardware platform closed to the open source community and I couldn't run a 3D x server when I first purchased the card, I'm happy with it. It'd also be nice if EVGA put an HDMI port on it like every other implementor of the 9800gtx GPU. Unless you're doing some crazy ray tracing, weather simulation or extreme gaming, this card is a really good bang for the buck when it comes to cost vs. performance. I give it four out of five eggs because of the cons.

Pros: Cheap, if it works

Cons: Junk. Shipped without a bios installed on it. Tried it in multiple machines and got same result. Would display text saying "BIOS Upgrade in progress, do not power off" Mind you this is prior to POST completing. Let it set that way for three hours hoping POST would complete, but it never did. Again I say junk. Also this device is incompatible with ASUS Rampage motherboards with built in Marvel 9123 SATA controllers.

Overall Review: Bought it to work with a MAC 5bay SATA port multiplier that only seems to work with Marvel 912X chipsets. Never even got that far as to test if it worked, however I did do a bit of research on this. This has a 9125 chipset for the SATA controllers and a 9128 for the PATA controller, both which are supported by Linux.

Pros: Works with linux, small, cheap for what it does. I am able to use the "NUT" driver to talk to the UPS via USB cable. I'm able to pull basic stats off of it so I wrote a script to power down my server at the battery percentage level that I want. Made in USA

Cons: management of the device is incredibly limited Unable to add a second external battery

Overall Review: If you need a cheap UPS, this is it. The unit is made in Illinois, so it's American made. If this fits your budget and application, try it out. One egg off for Triplitt only selling windows mgmt software for a super high price

Pros: Cheap drive, works most of the time. Suitable for bulk storage -- but be sure to back everything up! 7200rpm is decent speed for a bulk storage drive.

Cons: These drives have a two year MTBF. I bought eight of them a little over two years ago. One failed a week before the warranty ran out. Seagate replaced it in a timely manner without incident. Three others failed within three months of the warranty ending. I expect the remaining four to fail in the very near future.

Overall Review: These went into a Dell R510 with a PERC 700 raid controller. You need to upgrade the raid controller to the latest firmware in order for the drives to be recognized. As these are unsupported drives by Dell, drive SMART data does not seem to be understood by the controller so unless the drive is offline, you won't get an error. Be sure to ZERO out your replacement drives as my replacement drive I got back from Seagate had raid metadata on it and would not rebuild properly until it was zeroed out.

Pros: OK sounding speakers for the price. Very nice mounting method for drywall.

Cons: High frequencies not as pronounced as I would expect.

Overall Review: Makes a nice addition to get music in my kitchen without having extra equipment standing around. Clean install and decent sound. High freqs not as pronounced as I'd like, but then again I guess I am spoiled with M70s in the tv room.

Pros: $20 rebate this week. Does the job of cooling my super hot CPU. Closed loop (is that a pro?)

Cons: Very difficult to install into an older CoolerMaster HAF case (I think mine is a 922). The fact that this is a closed loop cooler makes it impossible to use the cooler hose routing on my case. This is more of a con of my case than it is for this cooler as the case was obviously only designed for open-loop water coolers. The fan header connector did not work to power the pump and I had to use the 4pin molex connector instead. Also it is unclear when to use the eight small washers included with the h100. I ended up using four of them under the thumbscrews. Minus one egg for these inconveniences.

Overall Review: The intel stock cooler for my i7-960 (3.2ghz) really sucks. I could not run anything computuationally intense without the CPU overheating. Running FAH with all 8 cores would overheat the CPU within an hour. lm_sensors showed the CPU would get to 99C with the stock cooler. Now with the H100 I can run FAH on all 8 cores and after 12 hours the CPU is at 53C (about 125F) with a 78F ambient room temp. It drops to about 35C with the computer at idle. I choose to install the radiator on the top of my case with the fans pushing air from inside the case up through the bottom of the radiator. Had to cut the top rear of the case with a hacksaw to get the copper block to fit into the case. I removed the big giant eight in fan from the top of the case and sandwiched that fan mount between the H100 radiator and fans. There are two spaces in the top of my HAF case for eight inch fans and the rearmost mounting holes for each fan lined up close enough for the outermost mounting holes for the radiator. Also had to remove the motherboard to install the copper block as the CPU access hole in the bottom of my case was off about one half of an ince with respect to the CPU placement of my Asus Rampage Extreme III motherboard. Between sawing, cutting, rerouting cables and basically disassembling and reassembling my PC, it took about three and a half hours to install. All in all it looks wickedly awesome, almost like the H100 was made for my case. Looking at the side of the case with the cover off, you dont see the radiator or fans at all, all your see is the corsair block sitting on top of the CPU.
