Still going

EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card 01G-P3-1526-KR
EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card 01G-P3-1526-KR

Pros: It's been 2 yrs and this card is still going strong. Handled many photoshop files over 3gb. It manages some online games like WOT and STWOR. But isn't the greatest. Still all in all a very good purchase

Cons: None

Well...

EVGA 02G-P4-3063-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card w/ ACX Cooler
EVGA 02G-P4-3063-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card w/ ACX Cooler

Pros: Its DEFINATELY is a huge upgrade over my aging GTS450. EVGA has been the backbone of my system and every card has been an awesome buy. HOWEVER, this thing is LOUD. Though you can set the fan speed through precision X and control the noise, its still much more audible than my h50 push pull set up when running over 50C. Other than that it has great power and frames have increased a bit (still have the gts450 in there for now as a physX card) But maybe the noise may subside once i get the side cover back on, not sure if it will help much

Cons: Just 2, as mentioned, the noise is horrendous. at least for me. I'll see how it plays out in the coming weeks. Secondly, Why EVGA, why do you put the warranty sticker on the back of the circuit board?? As I have been running the system, the heat has made the sticker curl up and almost peel off. Is there really no where else to put it? Flat plastic surface perhaps?? Hopefully there will be no RMA issues in the future so they cant blame me for tampering with it.

Overall Review: Still may consider getting a second later but only if i get these fans to be less obnoxious. time will tell

good but not perfect

Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition 120mm High Static Pressure Twin Pack Fan (CO-9050008-WW)
Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition 120mm High Static Pressure Twin Pack Fan (CO-9050008-WW)

Pros: I have an oc'd i7920 on corsair h50 push pull set up. my idle temp has already dropped 11 degrees with the amount of air these bad boys are moving in here. However...at 2350rpm, they produce quite a bit of noise. These two fans clearly drown out the 4 nzxt 140mm i have running in here constantly

Cons: if you are looking for a quiet running system, then these arent for you. they hum and hum. it doesnt bother me too too much as i usually have a headset on while the wife watches tv in the same room. may take some getting used to as i refuse to go back to my older corsair fans running at 1200rpm and idle temp at 30 degrees

Overall Review: not a bad purchase but perphaps its me who is ignorant to higher rpm fans and their noise level. I will be purchasing the AF140 quiet editions later to replace the nzxts. we will see just how quiet they will be

GET IT!

Intel 330 Series Maple Crest 2.5" 180GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CT180A3K5
Intel 330 Series Maple Crest 2.5" 180GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CT180A3K5

Pros: Plug and Play - windows on in 9 seconds(from bios screen) and shuts down in 3 seconds. Bought this for my job as we use multiple heavy graphic intensive software at once. Windows E gives in 7.9, It flies through software installations, updates and downloads as well. It wont be used as a storage drive so I really haven't written any large files on yet to know how fast the write speed is for me. Overall. its LOVELY! Cant wait to get one for me home build

Cons: none so far..littel heat, no sound. SSD is def the way to go if your impatient for software to load as I am. I have 5 HHD running out of my home build and none of them touch this drive even in raid0

good buy

Pros: good board for the buy. upgrade from evga sli micro. was a little skeptical about buying a preowned board but it has worked flawlessly, and better than my previous board

Cons: none

Overall Review: enjoying the sata 6. loaded windows 7 in less than 5 minutes

AWESOME

Fractal Design Arc Midi Black High Performance PC Computer Case w/ USB 3.0 and 3 x Fractal High Performance 140mm fans
Fractal Design Arc Midi Black High Performance PC Computer Case w/ USB 3.0 and 3 x Fractal High Performance 140mm fans

Pros: This case is non other than awesome. Every last detail on this case is flawless. I have spent all night just examining the case before anything went into it. - High quality -all three fans on high are still quieter than one of my antec 140mm fans -ALOT of room. Didnt realize the size until the box came -only plastic part is the front bezel but who cares -i've waited three months for this case and it blows my antec 300 out of the water. well worth the wait and i would recommend this case to everyone. Water cooled or not, for the price and quality, cant beat it -so much room to hide wires its incredible -*i want another one just because*

Cons: haven't found one and don't think i can

Overall Review: Fractal, next time, dont make us wait so long
