Amazing!

XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-487A-CDF9
XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-487A-CDF9

Pros: What can I say, everything you've read about this beast, is true. Installed without a hitch, download Cat 9.2 and off I went. Pure gaming bliss. I use a 30" D**l monitor so I needed something with more 'oomph' and this fulfilled my needs perfectly.

Cons: It's big. It's power hungry. It's expensive. But if you're looking at buying this, you know what you are getting into.

Overall Review: Fits perfectly into a Silverstone TJ09 with plenty of room. Using a Silverstone Olympia 1000W psu and happily have had no issues at all. Fast shipping from the 'Egg as always.

Exceptional Quality and Powerful Graphics

Pros: I bought this to run in a Tri-CrossfireX with my XFX HD4870X2, driving my D**l 30" LCD. Installed with tremendous ease, superbly and professionally packaged. Impressive level of finish from XFX. It may cost a little more than some other MFG's, but XFX warranty is well worth the peace of mind, even if you sell it to someone else.

Cons: Big, hot, power hungry... but if you're buying this card, you know what you are getting into.

Overall Review: Make sure you have the room and power supply to run this. Having a case with good airflow and clean cable install can really help you keep your overall temps down.

Easy as it should be.

Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor with HDCP support 5 ms D-Sub, DVI X222Wbd

Pros: Price; excellent value for the money spent. Glossy screen; no glare problems with a desk light to the side, and another behind me over the shoulder. Comes with DVI and VGA cables; some other companies should do this. Great colors out of the box; didn't need to adjust. Was a bit bright but easily adjusted.

Cons: Stand seems a tad flimsy, but holds ok. Gloss panel, and gloss trim finish fingerpint/dust magnet. DVI/VGA connect behind stand connector, tight fit for fat fingered fellows. No height adjustment, but there is tilt. The flaws are minor, and very tolerable for the price.

Overall Review: Was looking for a decent TFT panel for the wife's computer and decided to try this one after reading the reviews here at the Egg, and elsewhere. Well, I must say they were on the money. No dead pixels, and am very pleased. Great display for the money.
