I love these cards!

Pros: Card runs everything but BF3 at top settings. I went with SLI and scored 10,000 higher on my benchmark software which was great. I didn't see any difference in BF3 or my other games so I pulled the second card and put it in my grandsons box and now we both have great graphics when we play. I own 6 of this manufacturers video cards now with the oldest being purchased in 09. It is still running just fine so I keep buying this brand. I did a tone of reseach before I purchased the first one and they have always been there for the buyers when problems occured. Electronics break and it is good to know they stand behind the products. Thank you!
Cons: Card runs everything but BF3 at top settings. I purchased a second card and went with SLI and I still can't run BF3 at top settings. How are these other people who claim to get them to go at the highest settings getting it done with less horsepower that I have? I have the I7-3820 Quad Core processor and 16 Gig of Ram plus a 128 Gig SSD drive and I can't get it done. I am so confussed!
Overall Review: Video card pricing is as aggravating as gas prices! I paid $400 each for these and 60 days later they are $100 cheaper. Not going to dock Newegg or EVGA for this I just wanted to whine a bit lol. These get down another $100 I am buying 2 more.
ASUS you got me once!

Pros: I tried for a couple months to get this board set up correctly, it never did and I can't say much on the good side.
Cons: SLI has never worked correctly. USB ports started acting up and I have to move the cables to make it work. Now the on board NIC died and I had to throw in a card to use it.
Overall Review: No more ASUS for me!
Dead after 4 months

Pros: I have had great luck with these overall.
Cons: 90 Day warranty period seems a bit short.
Overall Review: I will buy another.
Does the job!

Pros: Small, inexpensive, nice CD with manual and codes.
Cons: None for the price!
Overall Review: This is an inexpensive reader that does just that. If you want basic functionality and the ability to clear codes at a bargain price this unit fits the bill. If your looking for high end functionality then you need to add another 0 to the price as this is not the one for you. I paid $20.00 and received a fully functional unit that does what it is advertised to do, I am happy!
Does what it is supposed to!!!

Pros: I finally needed the drive today, it was a very simple setup and a small BIOS change and it is up and running fine! Just what I expected from Samsung! If you need to use this as a boot drive you need to change your bios so it boots to this first. It was a simple change for me. I needed to boot because the system I am setting up is a Shuttle with no cd rom, this drive did the trick!
Cons: I didn't need it but the paper setup manual was a joke, nice manual on the disk but what do you do if the disk does not fire up?
Overall Review: A nice looking piece of hardware that works, it gets no better than this!
Awesome Board!

Pros: I was smart enough to research the board prior to purchasing. It was clear that the board needed a new bios to work with the 3820 processor I ordered so I purchased the board and emailed ASRock support asking for the BIOS. They promptly got back to me asking for purchase verification, I sent them the email I got from Newegg and the Bios was here before the board. I swapped the bios and put the rig together and it booted right up and has been running great. Do your homework people, you will save yourself a lot of grief!
Cons: Absolutely none!
Overall Review: I was impressed with the prompt response to my email and how fast the BIOS was sitting on my desk. This is my first ASRock purchase, I made the purchase based of reviewes I found online and am happy that I took the time to do my homework.
Item Returned to vendor by Post Office
I originally rated this as 1 egg due to the incompetence of the customer service department. I have since resolved the issue after a rep with knowledge took over. The issue was generated by the post office who decided to return the package. The tracking number when accessed clearly showed the item was returned to the vendor. I can only assume the folks who looked at it did not pay attention and after sending multiple emails with all the data it was finally resolved. Ironically I received my refund then 2 more emails saying it was delivered and not eligible for a return from customer service again. Price was right, it was shipped promptly. Customer service is a bit lacking.
