Pros: It keeps a computer in a den that stays warm running all the time. I replaced a stock power supply with this one. I updated the video card and moved the computer into the den which is only cooled when someone is in there, thus it rebooted inseasently w/o notice for a while. It now runs cool as a cucumber and no power spikes or lulls.

Cons: None.

Pros: Awsome game play, smooth graphics, play perfect on my tv and you don't have to get to a save point after a mission :-) The graphics rock I'm sick of bad reviews because people don't know how to put together a descent computer. If you have a Quad Core, GeForce 9800GT, and 8 Gigs of ram on Vista Premium 64 you wouldn't complain.

Cons: You have to log on to the Live to play. But if you set it up correctly it happens automatically. Initial load takes a while.

Overall Review: If you don't have to rig to pull the load then don't complain when your transmission slips. It's just a sign to upgrade, or buy a quality motherboard. Remember you are only as fast as your slowest link.
