BFG Tech EX-1200 BFGR1200WEXPSU 1200W Continuous Rated at 40°C ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
BFG Tech EX-1200 BFGR1200WEXPSU 1200W Continuous Rated at 40°C ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Most stable power supply I've seen in ages. Great Efficiency. More modular cables than any other supply ive seen. Absolute dream for a gamer. SLI to hearts content. Only 249.99 at the time of this posting.

Cons: None. Spooked for a moment see below.

Overall Review: I run a computer upgrades and repair store so do understand that in my years of working with systems. This is impressive. I was worried for a moment when first powering it on. I heard a crackle and pop noise and thought "great". So i called BFG tech and talked to their techs. He stated with the new frequency switch it makes that noise the first time when powering the unit on. First to get the right frequency from the wall and also its inital pull from the wall is at its standard 1200watt frequency. Which recharges the capacitors rather quickly. In shipping these capacitors discharge and make that noise the first time after being energized. Did a test anyways with a volt meter to make sure the guy was not lying to me. Sure enough all lines are working as their supposed to. BFG Tech, My hats off to you. Best power supply I've encountered along with a LIFETIME warranty.

Great Case!

CM Storm Stryker - White Full Tower Gaming Computer Case with Handle and External 2.5" Drive Dock
CM Storm Stryker - White Full Tower Gaming Computer Case with Handle and External 2.5" Drive Dock

Pros: *Plenty of Room *Large enough for the largest graphics cards. *Fans have direct control on front along with USB 3.0 slots. *All drive bays have modular slots for 2.5 or 3.5 drives!

Cons: *Light on the directions for the extra 2pin connectors. *Case fans are OK but could have a stronger 140mm on the back.

Overall Review: Overall a very good case. Bought it as part of the early adopter combo. (Great deal btw) Anyways, fit everything without a problem! Also I did not receive a case with paint issues. All the same color, all perfect. My only gripe is the back 140 fan does not push as much air as I would like, but for $5-$10 its a cheap change!

Fantastic!

Pros: ~Fantastic speed! ~Stays Cool under high activity! ~ A bargain at this price!

Cons: Minor Irritation. No screws came with the unit. Its an OEM so I knew this going in.

Overall Review: Fantastic device! Quite frankly its as good as the Velociraptor drives with added reliability. There is a minor hit in performance versus the velociraptors but its much larger and quite economical. On top of that, the No Touch tech keeps this drive in great condition for years to come. Impressive performance with Windows 7 RC.

Absolute Steal!

Fantastic Buy!

MSI GeForce 9600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N9600GT-T2D512

Pros: Fantastic Frame rates! What can i say? I love this card. Currently running crysis at all high plus some very high at 1440X900 resolution. Plus if your looking for a reasonably priced card that plays the new Age of Conan game at High settings, this is it! Dual Slot Cooler keeps this baby nice and cool!

Cons: A little big but if you've had any of the newer gen cards its just par for the course.

Overall Review: Overall a fantastic buy! Rebate makes it even more worth it. Chose this over the 8800gt, why? This cards is better optimized for DX10 gaming than the 8000 series. This is a Must Buy!
