Pros: Just read the specs, speaks for itself. I ran two instances of wow, and an instance of AOC - all maxed settings and it didn't skip a beat at stock. For those that gripe about the better cards though, there is a difference. If you OC their low end cards past 700 core clock (>20% OC) they will become unstable - at least mine did - all chips are not the same so you may get lucky. After 730 with comparable memory clocks, it became increasingly unstable. I've been running at 675 comfortably for hours of gaming which is what the GTX280FTW version comes stock at.

Cons: Price dropped drastically since I got it, 180$ to be exact. Not a con - but a counter con to other peoples remarks on heat. These run cool.... get better air-flow in your case and you'll be fine. Even under long term max setting tests I never broke 66C max. Under regular gaming I run around 45-48C, under high load it might jump up to mid-low 50's. Use the precision tool and max the gpu fan always.

Overall Review: My rig: Q9450 w/ Arctic Freezer Pro 7, Evga GTX280, Evga 780i mobo, 8gb Corsair Dominator, 1200w modular Thermaltake ToughPower, WD 10k Raptor 160gb, CoolerMaster 830Stacker w/ Thermaltake 95CFM fans (4 intakes over mobo - 5 exhausts), 24" BenQ w/ HDMI.

Pros: Keeps the processor cool... if you can mount it. Some people say to get thermal paste, I used the "garbage" pre-applied stuff and haven't had any problems with my temps.

Cons: Push-Pin mounts. All I have to say. Read everyone elses bad reviews and I say the same - push one in the other pops, feels like you're damaging your mobo trying to mount them, etc. I scared my fiance at how much I was cursing this product trying to get it to fit. I'll never buy push-pin's again, I'll always get mounting plates and bolts - If i could do it over again I would get the Zalman 92mm instead. I got it mounted, but that was purely based on my zealous attempt to get my machine up and running and not wanting to RMA it wasting time and money in restoking fees, shipping, etc. over a 25$ part.

Pros: fits into the front brackts of the stacker 830 evo. comes with the dust protectors which is nice, although i would suggest taking it off to improve air flow unless you're lazy and dont want to clean your machine every month or two. (they really reduce air flow a lot - put them side by side one with and one without and you'll know).

Cons: Not in stock when I bought them!!!! Definately hard to find item in the states. Had to get them from their parts shop in the netherlands and pay rediculous taxes and shipping. like others not a con, but should have come standard with the cases - its a 1$ item... come'on. Even if you get them here, after shipping its still an 11$ item for a piece of plastic. The hassle more than anything is what got me upset.

Pros: Tri-SLI approved by NVidia for tri-gtx280's.... yummy... high efficency, modular cables are great - kinda stiff as some have said but nothing major. The entire product just screams "High Quality".

Cons: Out of stock!!!! I had to go to a different retailer to get the same product. new egg ships so much faster, so was dissapointed it couldnt have arrived with the rest of my parts. The rubber grommet was a nice try, but at least in my case (coolermaster stacker 830 evo) its too thick to fit inside and bolt in so I dont use it. However it bolts in fine with out it and my case has two psu rails that it sits on so its not moving anywhere anyways that would cause it to shake and rattle.

Pros: Comes with everything you need including a rediculous number of sata connectors. tri-sli capabilities, and appears to high quality. Have had no problems so far and everything fit nicely except for my hs/f (arctic cooler freezer pro 7) - I would highly suggest not getting a push pin fan with this mother board - get a back plate zalman instead.

Cons: none really, everything fit well, booted first time.

Pros: Big, definately big :) Pretty cheap, but appears to be good quality. I like the video mode swap button - I hook my laptop up with d-sub and my tower with hdmi and i just tap the button to switch between the two which is cool. Kinda low contrast rating, 1000:1, but still better than my laptop by a long shot. Colors look so much more vibrant and its crisp and clear. No dead pixels, at least none that I can tell. No bleeding back light as far as i can tell.

Cons: Didn't come with an HDMI cable even though its highly advertised as HDMI yada yada, I had to go to walmart and get a 30$ one. I read the specs so I knew it didnt, but I guess wishful thinking wished it did. No height adjustment, or swivle. All in all, the stand is very basic and limiting - but meh - things could be a lot worse. Menu buttons are underneath the frame, kinda hard to use but how often do you use the settings? Its a tough call between pro and con because once its set I like how they are out of the way an unobtrusive to my viewing :)
