Great piece for the $$

Pros: Like the touch control instead of knobs. Also I definitely liked the 7 different color schemes.
Cons: The tiny little screws were a little tricky getting started, but besides that no complaints!

Cons: None

Comments: Could not decide between this card and the standard 6800 model. I decided to bust out the extra money for the GT version and can tell you I am glad I did. This card plays FarCry, Doom III, etc all in the highest graphics mode. As for the nVidia card, NO ONE makes a better card than Gainward. The "Golden Sample" version of these cards cannot be beat guaranteed even in the "Enhanced Mode" I have yet to OC the card and really do not see any reason to. Just make sure you have enough room in your case this card is 8 and 1/2 " long and you still need room to plug in the Molex connector. As usual NewEgg ROCKS One-Stop-Shopping no reason to go anywhere else. >Game On<
Bass in you Face

Comments: Just hooked up the system tonight and I must say I am VERY inpressed. I have yet to hook up the rears and play FarCry in Dolby Digital can't wait!! I considered going with a "Home Theater In-the-Box" using a receiver but decided to go this route for simplicity. The Bass in this system absolutely SLAMS I have it turned all the way down to maybe 20% of it's potential. The only complaint I have is the Control Unit. You cannot read the LED Display unless you tilt the Control Unit down or are standing up and looking directly at it. I guess I will just bend the bracket so the Control is sitting straight up and down then I will be able to see it. Besides that this system is defiantely worth the money, buy it you will have NO regrets!!! As usual NewEgg ROCKS got it to me a day ahead of scheduale. Remember One-Stop-Shopping at NewEgg <Game On>
Great CPU for the Money

Comments: Re-sold my brand new Athlon XP 2400 so I could buy the Barton core and take advantage of the 400Mhz FSB. Bought the OEM version and am using it with a Thermaltake Silent Boost. Idle temps are a fridged 29C and after playing FarCry for over an hour they still only reach 42C. I have yet to OC it to the 3200 just a quick change of the multiplier to 11X and walla XP 3200+.

Super Drive
Comments: Bought this drive for my new system I just built Great drive was really impressed with how quite it is compared to my Yamaha that is in my other system. After purchasing it I do regret that I did not buy the Plextor PX-712SA only because my MB supports Serial SATA Raid and the 712 is SATA. But still overall I am satified with this drive, makes a great all-in-one drive! Of course NewEgg ROCKS, NO reason to buy from anyone else!!
