Asus r9290-dc20c
Pros: Great card. Runs smooth and beautiful. Gaming and encoding much faster
Cons: Does not do the 4096 x 2160 advertised. It stll does 3200x1800 though. Also no documentation to speak of. This is why 4 eggs instead of 5
Overall Review: Thinking about buying a second card and see how it runs
Pros: It will tell you if the power supply is putting out or not.
Cons: I cant tell exactly how much power as one ot the lcds that make up each digit is out. Came that way out of the box.
Overall Review: It is worth the 16 dollars I paid. At least I know if the power supply is working at all. After that I need a multimeter each digit only has a partial display.
Warning
Pros: None
Cons: Has not booted. Error code 65. have tested ram and processor and rest bios. Only had for 5 days. Dispite as 30 day return for product it is listed as can not return. So I am stuck with a motherboard that will not boot. The ASrock site said to reset bios. I have user the jumper, the button and removed the battery to try to get this to work. I have been building computers since 1975. and have never had this kind of issue. I recommend getting an ASUS and leave ASrock alone. Sorry for the dim view, but I had to spend money on a brick.

Pros: Worked as promised for about 2 months.
Cons: Sound quit after 6 months. Found out it had to do with the arcsoft Total Media 3.5 software included. Contacted arcsoft and they would not support because of it being oem. Told to contact kdworld. They will not contact. Have not returned emails or any attemps. Lousy product. I would say do not buy kdworld ever.
Overall Review: I had total media 3.o. It works with sound. Video not as good and no fm radio. Beats being totaly cheated.

Pros: This is the one of the most feature rich boards ASUS has ever put out. They have always made quality boards but, this one takes the cake. I easily overclocked to 4.5 gigahertz on a 5820 3.3 gigahertz chip. It runs rock solid. Everything on the board is clearly marked.
Cons: Wasn't free
Overall Review: Best midrange board I have seen in a while.
Great value
Pros: Great power supply. I was having problems powering up my machine with the ABS 900watt. This has fixed all of my issues.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Watch Newegg!! I have used them for years. (Since the late 90s) Have never had a problem like this. I first ordered an ABS1300watt powersupply. After they too the money out of the bank they informed me that that did not have any and would refund the money in 2 buisness days and 5 more days to reach my bank. It did not take but 5 miniutes to take it out of my account. So I ordered this one. It was 189 when ordered. Cam in the next buisnes day but when I was about to order a second I see ond day it changed to 159. Not all that thrilled with Newegg right now.
Did not recieve
All I got was an empty box. Really wanted the mouse. Newegg did refund my money. Looks like UPS guy took it. When I was handed the box the tape was torn open. Not blaming UPS for this one. Still wish I had gotten the mouse though. Looked really cool.
