Pros: Amazing video, looks great, and performs amazingly for CUDA applications.
Cons: After taking about a half inch by one inch section off the bottom of my CD drive bay, it fit perfectly. I was tempted to add some support structure for the card, the thing is massive and heavy, but so far all is well. Installation manual should be revised to read, Required Tools: Phillips Head Screwdriver Die Grinder (for some models) Guy Wires (optional)
Overall Review: It's kind of a bummer that it takes two slots, but that's the price you pay. I put it into a shallow case which presented some problems, but worked out OK. Card is: 10.5" (L) x 3.75" (W) x 1.5" (H)
