Pros: My Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical keyboard did not come with a keycap puller and, unfortunately, choices are slim when it comes to purchasing one on its own, so I bought this for the keycap puller alone, unsure how it'd perform on a Razer keyboard with Cherry MX blue switches. To my delight, it works flawlessly and is a welcome addition to my computer maintenance kit. I imagine it should work well with just about any kind of mechanical keyboard. It's simple, straightforward, intuitive, and it gets the job done.

Cons: I wish I could buy one of these without the keyscaps. Inevitably, they're destined to sit in a drawer for the remainder of their days. I also think any and every keyboard over $80 should include a keycap puller in the box, but that's no fault of this particular product.

Pros: This is an excellent single-card solution that, even with the recent release of the Kepler line of video cards, will more than suffice for the average gamer; indeed, some of the most expensive "gaming PCs" from you local big box stores only include a single GTX 560. Add the Ti, 448 cores, and you have this beast from EVGA that recently replaced my GTX 550 Ti with an enormous performance boost in both benchmarks and games. While it may not be the best benchmark out there, my graphics score in Windows Experieence Index rose from 7.4 to 7.9. Frame rates in StarCraft II, previously maxing out around 50, are now well over 100 when VSYNC is disabled. Skyrim went from the high 20s to the high 50s.

Unlike even the mighty GTX 580, this card, being a newer release, also comes with OpenGL 4.2 support. Do a little additional overclocking and you've more or less got a GTX 570.

Cons: More VRAM would be nice. The card also runs significantly warmer than my previous card and, thus, noisier (I set the fan to 60% using EVGA Precision X). I was also unable to achieve as high of overclocks as other reviewers without losing some stability; nevertheless, this card overclocked far better than my factory-overclocked GTX 550 Ti, which could not be further overclocked whatsoever without becoming massively unstable.

Due to the cooling solution, I do not recommend this card for SLI. Either get the Classified edition or a card which will not exhaust directly into your case. With four 120mm intake fans, two 120mm exhaust fans, and two 140mm exhaust fans on my enclosure, this was not a major concern.
