Big Card Odd Airflow

PNY GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCG98GTXPXPB
PNY GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCG98GTXPXPB

Pros: Solid Card it takes whatever I can throw at it with no problem.

Cons: It blows hot air back into the case. Get an exhaust fan for the front of your case.

Overall Review: Other than the goofy design of the GPU fan this thing is a beast. Crysis runs Pretty close to full out and Hellgate London is no problem Full blown. ASUS M3A78 Pro AMD Phenom x4 9950 2.6 PNY 9800GTX+ 512 4 Gig Corsair Dominator Vista Home Premium x64

Most Critical Review

Shipping will cost more than the refund.

Koutech IO-RCM620 USB 2.0 3.5" Card Reader
Koutech IO-RCM620 USB 2.0 3.5" Card Reader

Pros: The USB connection on the front works.

Cons: I have yet to be able to actually get an SD Card into the reader. The tin sleeve for the SD cards is going to need to be pry'd open to get the card in. I have tried a number of differnt types of cards. Just havent had the energy to power the machine down and tweak the sleeve to make them fit.

Overall Review: I put this in my wifes machine, and well it adds about 7 additional drives so when she loads up "My Computer" there are a zillion drives in there now.

Been eyeing this one for some time

Pros: Huge.... compared to my old 19' and even my 22' this thing is just huge.... Solid construction, it's half plastic, but what isn't these days.

Cons: 1 dead pixel.... Seen other comments about this, but with all the real estate you really have to go fishing to find it.

Overall Review: If you sit close too your machine beware this is almost too big. =]

Beware

Pros: I see pretty colors, games run.

Cons: Be sure you look at the picture of the card. Yes your seeing it right the fan is mounted so it pulls nice cool air from outside, heats it then blows it all over the inside of your system = /

Overall Review: I prefer my video cards blow the hot "exhaust" air out of the system. Listen to one of the other posters... Just buy a DX11 card from ATI, I lived by ATI until this card and will return to them when I replace this very expensive paper weight.

Pros: Its Corsair C'mon

Cons: Had to ship mine back and I'm waiting for a replacement =[

Overall Review: Corsair is known for their Customer Service... C'mon RAM with a lifetime warranty how can you go wrong. I tried to use the Xigmatek RAM coolers on these guys... They dont fit =p
