Pretty much perfect

Pros: - Unbelievable graphics - No latency on highest video settings on all the games I've played - Shorter than it's AMD equivalent - Doesn't increase internal temperature by a large amount(my PC runs about 4 degrees hotter during gameplay) - has 3 DVI outputs and includes adapters for other types of video inputs - Runs quiet
Cons: - Price isn't an issue for me but I could see how the price could be a "con" if one is on a budget. - Takes alot of power to run. For a gaming rig, you need a power supply with at least 1000W
Overall Review: I originally built my computer with a Radeon 5970 card. I will never buy another AMD video card again. It was the biggest piece of junk ever and a waste of $750. It never ran smoothly and would crash ALL the time. I finally got mad and bought the 590 GTX and I have not had any problems. Running all my games at ultra high video settings without the slightest bit of lag.
Good Speakers

Pros: Looks nice..............I love the yellow speakers(and if you dont, you can keep the grills on). Blue LED matches my case lights, keyboard, and mouse. I use them for gaming so I cannot give a rating for how they are with music quality but they are great for the price. I have a pair of B&W MM-1's on my main gaming computer but these are great substitutes if you don't want a subwoofer or a pair of $500 speakers.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Also, very easy to setup. Not alot of annoting cables.
I must be doing something wrong

Pros: Simple, all in one system. Relatively easy install given you have the room in your case for your fingers and tools, etc.... I have a Thermaltake Bigwater in my other gaming PC and it doesn't come close to the performance of this one(although I like it because its not a closed system(ie you can route the coolant to any number of components).
Cons: My cons are not exactly against the product. Based on some of the reviews, I might be doing something wrong. Relavent specs are : Intel i7 9809 extreme overclocked to 4.1GHZ, MSI Big Bang X58 Power w/ OC Genie running, Zalman Z-Machine GT1000(2, 90MM front intake fans, 1 rear exhaust fan which is there the radiator for this product is installed), Nvidia GeForce GTX 590(stock air cooled). Anyway, the software it comes with has 3 modes.............Extreme, Silent, and Custom. The Custom setting isn't very self explanatory. From playing around with it, you can't really set the fan and pump speed where you want it. Instead, you tell it the ramp up speed and designate temperatures. On the silent setting, my PC is virtually silent. On the extreme setting however, it gets up to 50 db.....there is no inbetween(that I can figure out). The other thing is that, at idle, my coretemp is running at 40. The good news is that maxed out with Prime95 or some games, the temp never excedes 80.
Overall Review: My big issue is that, at load, it gets REALLY loud but again, this is probably due to lack of proper air flow through my PC. I will probably end up water cooling my VGA to try and get the noise down. Installation is easy, theoritcally, it jsut depends on the size of the case. Full tower........no problem. Mid tower is a bit tight and I seriously doubt it would fit into a micro atx just because of the exhast fan size. The only other thing I would like is to be able to interupt the water flow loop so you could add more paths and cool your VGA/RAM/HD's etc....
