Excellent!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283-3L

Pros: Ultra on StarCraft 2 at 1920x1200 with no noticeable lag, at least after overclocking, which is leads into my next pro: This card seems to have plenty of head-room for overclocking. I debated getting the new Nvidia 460 GTX instead, but now that I see I can already use the absolute highest settings on all my games on my 1920x1200 monitor, I realize that the extra money would have just been wasted. IMO, the best bang for your buck card at the moment.

Cons: No issues yet.

Awesome!

Pros: Delivered the next day. No dead pixels. I wanted a bigger monitor, but I thought my old monitor's picture quality was fine. I was blown away when I looked at my digital pictures and home movies on this movie. Very pleased with the upgrade.

Cons: Nothing yet...

Fine Upgrade

Pros: Got this for my wife's laptop. She had 256M RAM before, so she needed an upgrade. This was cheap and effective.

Cons: None yet.

Good & Quiet

Pros: I had a Seasonic 330W PSU and it wasn't giving me enough juice for my new video card. Popped this in and I'm super stable again and can't hear the PSU at all (video card is too loud).

Cons: Not modular.

Excellent

Pros: Best hard-drive available for gaming.

Cons: Very expensive for a hard-drive.

Overall Review: It's very expensive for a hard-drive, but if you're serious about a gaming machine, you have to get this IMO.
