Great Card

Pros: This board was everything I was hoping it would be. The graphics look spectacular. The heatsink fan is not too noisy. (after reboot) **Crysis Warhead is playable** depending on how you define playable. There is an option to upgrade within 90 days with Evga. Evga has an excellent customer service team. I came off intergrated video so my system memory usage dropped by a couple hundred megs.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I started Crysis Warhead on medium or "mainstream" and played through the first level with some stuttering every 20 seconds or so being more prevalent in the beginning of the level. I moved onto level 2 and had to switch to the lowest settings probably due to the size of the map. I have an E6300 2 gigs DDR2-677 Intel 965 board. CSS played flawlessly with 16xaa at 1280 showing a minimum of 60 fps in some areas averaging around 80 fps. I would have picked up an 8800gtx but my psu is 4 years old and has only 420 watts. Im thinking of saving up for a couple of months for a new PSU and going for something bigger with the step-up program. I'm expecting an increase of at least 10 fps by switching to windows XP for games like COD4 and Crysis. For those of you who do not have the money for a 1000-2000 dollar gaming rig I would suggest the same. You will probably end up playing most new releases on medium or low and you will not be able to experience the full effect of direct X 10.
Great features at an awesome price!

Pros: Crazy fast booting into windows from powering it on (less than 15 seconds with an SSD). Awesome features and software. RGB utility and OC tweaker programs let you overclock and plug in fan curves from windows. 5 four pin fan headers let me plug all my fans in and control them without a fan controller.
Cons: No issues.
Overall Review: The X design is love it or hate and after putting my SLI setup and everything else into it it looks really cool.
Nice looking card

Pros: This really is a good price point for the performance the card gives. I installed Just Cause 2 and ran everything maxed at 1920x1200 with 32xAA. The game's benchmark showed an average FPS of 38. I put the stock clock from 732 up to 775 and averaged 40. I then put the memory up as well from 1900 to 2000 and averaged 42 fps. The card had an aluminium shroud and looks really sweet.
Cons: Without overclocking the fans shoot up to 70% and get rather loud. I recommend downloading precision and setting the fans at 60%.
Overall Review: Even with the overclock the temps did not rise above 80c when bench marking. To gain just a few FPS I plan on leaving the card at its stock settings and just set the fan to 60%.
Nice Buy!

Pros: Awesome battery. I charged it fully last night and have been on it non-stop for three hours with the brightness at 50% and the battery is at 66%. I expect getting around 8.5 hours of continuous use which pretty much rules. MyCloud lets you connect to your computer using splashtop. I have used it to watch video playing with VLC from my deskotp. It looks transcoded and retains decent resolution but there is some blockyness which is tolorable. Google earth pretty much gave me vertigo. Awesome experience though! If you can find one. Get one. Try nowinstock.net to check if there's any available thats how I was able to see newegg had one in stock.
Cons: The capaticitive touch is not as responsive as my iphone4 nor the Ipad 2. I need to force close the browser once in a while because the pages get stuck loading. Codec support is really lacking but I heard VLC is working on an android app. Thats really it.
Overall Review: Well after having this for two days and not really sleeping last night at all I have made it over the learning curve and am now flying with this device. I use it for my school and it works very well. I can use the interactive flash websites and post responses and complete projects. Adobe presenter works flawlessly for my seminars. Dovogame Waflow is sketchy and works way better using MyCloud.
Good PSU

Pros: This PSU install was easy. Long cables let me attach power to each of my 3 HDD's and one CD ROM in an Antec p900 case. Stable efficient power.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have four HDD's 8600GTS, E6300, CD ROM, fan's etc. I wouldnt put too much more on this PSU.
Sweet Monitor

Pros: This is a really great monitor. The colors really pop and the 2ms response time rocks. I play CSS alot and my crosshairs are like green lasors now. It has made a HUGE difference in what I can see in games. I came from a 450 dollar sony monitor I bought four years ago that had the bravia engine. This moinitor absolutely destroys it.
Cons: You must correct gamma and contrast after you pull it out of the box.
Overall Review: When I turned it on initially I noticed the picture was very washed out and the colors seemed dim. I simply found some greyscale color maps and adjusted my gamma, brightness, and contrast and it looks perfect.
