Pros: This is a GREAT! GREAT! CPU, I bought this for my first custom build. My other good computer is out of date (7 years old Sony Intel Pentium4 3.0 Ghz). This CPU is the same specs as the extreme version except the i7-970 multiplier's locked and the extreme version just few more Mhz is added to it. I don't want to pay another few hundred dollars more for a couple of minor changes. This CPU is FAST enough to get things done at its stock 3.2Ghz. I am not a gaming sucker but, would like my computer to runs as good as it looks...... I did few minor changes to get 4.1 Ghz on a stock intel CPU cooler that came with the i7-970. Changed stock CPU Vcore voltage to 1.3750v and the Bclock 133mhz to 170mhz. (170x25)=4250mhz (4.1ghz) and set my DDR3 ram to1066mhz. it's very stable and blazing FAST! bench test on 3Dmark11 get perfectly high scores at any places. CPU idle between 27-32c and cores temp. between 30-45c is monitor by EVGA E-LEET tuning Utility.

Cons: None at this times.....

Pros: Looks good, great cable management designed.

Cons: First turn ON and dead within 15min. Have to RMA to Newegg for refund, then purchased Cougar-SX850 850watts instead. (Have not receive the power supplyyet, just place ordered yesterday).

Pros: Hi-tech designed. Solid aluminum built construction. Brilliant engineering, well thought designed fits and finished precisely. The world first new born computer case to the computer industry that never seen like before.

Cons: HDD bays are not completely wired, only the top 2 bays are wired and ready for hot swapped, the rest of other 4 bays are not. Only USB2, not USB3.

Overall Review: Love the COOL designed and finished on this case. The up-coming new upgrade Thermaltake Level 10 will be in silver color instead of black, all 6 HDD bays will be wired and ready for hot swapped, also will be USB3 instead of USB2.

Pros: Great graphic card, runs cool and silent, runs as good as it looks on my Photo Shop CS5.5 Production premium and my other Digital Creation Contains (DCC).

Cons: For some how ATI Firepro driver is not friendly with antivirus software when rendering a critical Video or DCC. I have to uninstall antivirus from my system for a critical rendering such as with lots of special effects and multi videos background.

Overall Review: This Graphic card is specially designed for 3d applications and DCC but, it does work on other application as well as games too.

Pros: Great power supply, rock solid feel and built quality. good module cables and nice color brading. Very quite, runs really cool and hardly to hear the fan runs.........

Cons: Not so far.....

Overall Review: Could not ask for anything more than this..... Highly recommand for buyers out there!......

Pros: looks great, very good designed and color code.

Cons: Received a defected mobo..... Never post. "FF" when powering up. Have to RMA to Newegg for replacement. (Have not receive the replacement mobo yet). There is no USB3 header found on the mobo....

Overall Review: Would be nice and better if EVGA have installed more USB2 headers. Would like to see USB3 headerws on the mobo in the future on a mobo that cost over $300.
