Pros: The LCD screen has an excellent viewable range. 4 thermometers and independent fan speed controllers is nice, and it reads cards well. The device is entirely plastic, yet still seems sturdy enough. It works and it looks good.

Cons: 11 cables makes cable-management a pain in the neck. The LEDs in the knobs are so bright it's actually almost too bright to look at when you're inserting your media cards. The manual does really need improvement, as most of the stuff covered about the device you can pretty much figure out on your own, but the small things, like inserting your SD cards upside-down that deserve to be mentioned somewhere. Installing the screws was very tough, they're like wood-screws because they actually bite into the plastic as you go, but requires a tiny screwdriver.

Overall Review: So installation of this device was very straightforward -- There;s your power cable, your sata cable (for eSata) and your USB cable for all media cards, and then you have four thermometers and four fan cables. 11 cables total. Wow. Also of note is that each fan controller can control one fan only. It would have been great if one of those fan controllers accommodated the fans that are designed to draw power from a PSU. No such luck.

Pros: I've never had a card that could really run a game on max settings before, but now this card is doing just that with current-generation games, and they look phenomenal. The card itself is aesthetically appealing, and has plenty of options for display cables. I spent weeks waiting for the most power for the least amount of money. I snagged this for $120 here on Newegg which was $30 off, and an additional $30 MIR, so overall I got one of these for about $90 which ain't bad.

Cons: I actually do have 3 screens connected to my PC, and the advertised "Three independent displays" falls just a little short. This requires you to use the 2 HDMI outputs on the card for this to work, and those will act like one long display. I have a weird setup with 2 LCD screens that take DVI connections down below my wide-screen HDTV on which I do my gaming. So if I want to use the 3 displays I would have to hook up a VGA cable to my HDTV, and an HDMI adapter to my lower monitor, and a dvi cable on the other monitor. Kind of inconvenient, and expensive if you don't have the cables, and VGA display on an HDTV just seems wrong. So I ended up just having to install my old shoddy video card beside this one so it could handle my multi-display needs. Also, HDMI output to my insignia 32" TV doesn't work at all. The port works, just not with my HDTV. I had to connect a DVI to HDMI cable up to display on my HDTV to get it to display correctly on m HDTV. I am disappoint.

Overall Review: If and when I buy another card and put it in SLI, my multi-display woes will mostly be resolved. It's just a shame that this company decided to market the 3 monitors as a selling feature, because it's so broken I actually had to install an ATI Radeon HD 4300 next to this beast in order to do what they advertised as an out-of-the-box feature. Also, it's silly that HDMI output would not work natively on an HDTV. But it's great for games...

Pros: The price. Also, the heat-sinks are low-profile enough to not interfere with my CPU cooler which is very nice.

Cons: could still be cheaper though. 2x4GB sticks ought to only cost 40 at MOST, and this is just straddling that line, but this isn't corsair or kingston, or any other big name brand. This is the brand you go with because you know all ram is mostly the same, more or less, and you're strapped for cash.

Overall Review: Hopefully more manufacturers will knock it off with the crazy prices on ram soon. This is getting ridiculous.

Pros: Nice length, nice, thick cables, and it's inexpensive

Cons: none

Overall Review: With digital video, like DVI, the signal is all or nothing. There's no such thing as a better signal because of a better cable. So what I'm getting at is that this DVI cable is every bit as good as that $60.00 one you get from Best Buy

Pros: DDR3, USB3.0, AM3, Crossfire, 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 slots and 2 of the smaller PCIe slos, and 2 plain ol' PCI slots. What more do you want? This thing even has some legacy support, it's got pins for parallel printer connectivity on the board, how crazy? Has anybody seen one of these since 2000? Some stuff was a tight fit, but it was handy to have SATA ports on the mobo in 2 locations, in case you've got short cables.

Cons: Zero cons.

Overall Review: Drivers worked, came on a CD, that was nice. Onboard LAN does require these drivers, so it's easier to install them with an optical drive. Nothing to worry about though if you're going wireless of course, or if you have another PC with an optical drive and a USB stick.

Pros: Buy buy buy! Remember back when DDR2 used to be cheap? And now it's expensive again. Well I'm here to tell you that DDR3 is cheap, and you should get it while you can. If you can max out your motherboard's ram for $120, DO IT. Next time you upgrade, DDR4 will probably be out, and cheap, and you'll need to get a whole new motherboard just to take advantage of it.

Cons: Not backwards-compatible with DDR2 slots? Wasn't $58?

Overall Review: It works. It's got heat-sinks, and um... it's cheap ram, get it.
