Great Fit

PNY GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTS4501XPB
PNY GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTS4501XPB

Pros: Install was effortless. Graphics are great.

Cons: The free software is a trial and no big deal. I guess you must list a "con" and so far that's all I got. The card works great which is why I bought it.

Overall Review: Installed and ran 2 Sony 19" monitors, looked great. Bought 2 Hans G 28" monitors, works perfect. The Sony had a little better contrast, but the big ones make the workflow very easy for Photoshop.

Black is Beautiful

Cooler Master Stacker 810 RC-810-SKN1 Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Stacker 810 RC-810-SKN1 Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Immaculate finish on this case looks great with black DVD players. ATX and everything fit perfect. Lots of extra parts. Heavy duty cables. First class.

Cons: Yeah, the handles area a little sharp, but not a problem.

Overall Review: Highly recommended. Put the Intel Quad in it with the 975XBX2 Board

Good Case

Comments: Everything fits and it looks good too. The case was easy to put together. I used Vantec blue lights and it looks great. I did have to hook the lights directly to the power and not to the MB because on slow speed the blinking drove me nuts. I also bought the Aspire gold power supply that has 2 blue lights. For the fan knob on the power supply I did need to use a dremel tool to make it fit perfect. Used the D875 Intel board with 3.0 and the Quadro4 280 NVS card. Installed Memorex + - DVD which works great. Great case and computer at a great price too.
