Does the job
Pros: For me, it works well, not noticeably loulder!
Cons: Ok the leads are stiff! If you are doing a power upgrade I would recomend (IMO) conecting the leads to the board out side the case, give yourself a chance to dedust (nicked my hand on the Zalman cooler) then when mounted connect them up and use zip ties to keep them out of the way.
Overall Review: Got it to run my XFX PVT98WYDFH GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB and it works well. CD drives can be a pain to hook up... if space is an issue! I hope you will learn from my hind sight! I use an X-blade case. Thinking about turning the hard drives round, so the leads are not against the side of the case.
Pros: Looks nice, keeps down internal temp. The blue fan (one fan) looks nice. Ease of access to internals. Newegg does good to replace the first one. Controls look good. Hard disk space. (2 lockable hot swap SATA bays, accessed via front pannels.) Fans have 3 settings low, med, high divided into: Front, Top HDD and GPU Fan LEDs Control on and off.
Cons: CHECK ALL OF IT BEFORE YOU INSTALL ANYTHING! First one was broke nr leg. (The second one had a micro fracture... went unnoticed) cant blame newegg - UPS Sucks! Big... i mean huge! Computer is now theft proof due to weight! (LOL) Just one blue fan :( Word of advice the new fans have two connectors per fan. (the case does support this kind) so it is a little confusing when you find 2 (two pin) conectors for each fan when you may just have one three pin (does not fit - hooked my Zalman to the M/Board connectors) one powers the fan it's self, the other is for the power the LED. Hope this helps as I was wondering what these connectors were for. Manual speed control won't auto adjust due to temp.
Overall Review: Altho the instructions are in 5 (approx) languages, it does lose something in detail. I am generaly happy, the crack does annoy me. (It is small but I know it's there). More fans with LEDs would be nice. They are manual speed control fans.
Good?
Pros: Well what can I say? I have 2 moniters both on swivel arms.. recently I thought one of my moniters had a falt, I dont that that is the case this one is just so sharp and clear, the 3D is awesome, the clip ons (my wife wears glasses) was a stroke of genius. Built in speakers... havent used them!
Cons: Might make you spend more time on the computer...
Overall Review: Really can not find anything negitive.
bfg card
Pros: Ok so I look at the reviews - and make the best choice I can! I do not over clock, nor leave the computer on 24/7, may be 24 hours once or twice! I have good cooling and power supply. Haven't seen anything bad aboyt this card, good performer with games (hellgate london demo - neverwinter nights + two worlds, two worlds said it needed an addional acclorator card with this it don't)
Cons: Cant see any thing wrong with it, it kinda rocks, good graphix and frame rates, best card I have had up grade from 5500, never heard of bfg, updated drivers from nvida with no problem.
Overall Review: all in all I think I have got a good deal, just make sure you have a case good cooling (?) and power supply, seems to work ok in my system, wish other buyers as much luck. P4m800pro m.board 1tb sata 2gig ddr2 monitor 15 inch HP crt
