Muy rapido

Pros: SATA2 and perpendicular recording. AND uber-fast. It is amazingly quiet- doesn't hardly make a sound.
Cons: NO NCQ. I guess Native Command Queing is what really speeds everything up. I wish I would have kwown that. I read an article where the ones with NCQ were a bit faster than w/o.
Overall Review: Make sure your have SATA2 cables- my mobo didn't come with them. Also, I beleive a jumper needs to be switched in order to allow 3Gb/s. I still need to do that... Intel E6600, Antec P160 case, OCZ 520watt Powerstream, 2 Seagate 250GB 7200.10 (SATA2), Nec 3550A burner, Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2800, Windows XP Home, connect3D X1900GT

Pros: Verbatim makes one of the better quality DVD's. I can say I went through the entire spool without one coaster.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The price was great; lower quality brands cost more than this did. (w/ rebate) The rebate was a little slow in coming, but it showed up about 2 months later. I actually just cashed it, I figured I'd write a review saying that it did come. If your patient you may be able to get free shipping or a better deal.
Muy Rapido

Pros: Very very fast- compares with AMD FX-60 I also liked the shiny box it came in...hehehe
Cons: Diffucult to put on heat/sink fan, I felt like I was breaking it, but its ok.
Overall Review: Works well on this machine... Intel E6600, Antec P160 case, OCZ 520watt Powerstream, 2 Seagate 250GB 7200.10 (SATA2), Nec 3550A burner, Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2800, Windows XP Home, connect3D X1900GT
Nice

Pros: Great- quiet, sweet blue LEDS in the back. Nice shiny finish.
Cons: Thick cables but that's minor
Overall Review: It should power everything nicely... Intel E6600, Antec P160 case, OCZ 520watt Powerstream, 2 Seagate 250GB 7200.10 (SATA2), Nec 3550A burner, Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2800, Windows XP Home, connect3D X1900GT
Muy guapo

Pros: Light-wieght silver aluminum, lots of thumb screws and a clear side panel. Blue LED's in the front, temperature display. The fan that came with it is EXTREMELY quiet! The rubber grommets are really nice!!
Cons: Read manual on where to screw in the optical drive. Front bezel hard to take off, but aren't they all?
Overall Review: Make sure you get your USB and firewire ports right- I almost mixed the two up!
A steal!

Pros: Absolutly amazing!! Its surprising to not have manyreviews! The X1900GT was rated one of the best upper $xxx range cards and with that $xxx rebate it really becomes affordable. I was considering SLI but now crossfire is becoming resonable. It has tons of extra cables.
Cons: It does get very hot- I just aim the extra fan I got with my mobo towards it and it stays cool. Its also a larger card- so make room cuz this baby needs a place!
Overall Review: It plays Age of Empires III demo with NO lag and Battlefield 2 demo with 15 secs load- thats it! I am waiting for DX10 and than I will get a second card- prices should plummit.
