Pros: Runs Crysis 2 at highest settings at around 50 fps. Runs MW2 at highest settings at around 125 fps. Runs Black Ops at highest settings at around 90 fps. Seems really solid, no problems yet. I like how the higher clock speeds on the GPU and shaders are not overclocked but are actually at higher speeds than the reference 570 cards.

Cons: Runs a bit hot, right around 70° C at idle and around 85° C in games, but I think that's mostly my case's fault. I need to get a case with better airflow and probably some better fans. It behaves weird with my 19" CRT monitor that I have hooked up as a secondary (with a VGA to DVI adapter, which is provided). It'll only go as high as 1024x768 on it while my GTX 260 could do 1280x1024. Also, that monitor will randomly black out for about a second and a half and then come back on, which never happened on my 260. Of course it's an ancient monitor that I'll be getting rid of soon, so no eggs lost for that. EVGA's website lists this card as being 9" long and that is a lie. It is exactly the same length as my old 260, about 10.5". That kinda irked me, but it still fit in my case BARELY. Again, I need to get a new case. Also, although this doesn't affect me, there was no SLI connector included, thought that was a little odd seeing as how this is a high-end card.

Overall Review: Haven't tested a whole lot of stuff with it yet, just purchased the Acer 27" 3D monitor to see how that works with this, though. So far I like it a lot, it replaced a GTX 260 that was also by EVGA. My build: NZXT Alpha Black Mid Tower (need to replace that) Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield OC'd to 3600 MHz ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Mobo 12 GB CORSAIR XMS3 DDR3 1600 RAM (2x TR3X6G1600C9) CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W PSU Acer X233Hbid 23" Monitor (just waiting on the 27" 3D monitor to come in) Note: make sure you have a good enough PSU for this, it requires 1x6-pin PCIe connector and 1x8-Pin PCIe connector. It includes an adapter if you have two free 6-pin connections, though.

Pros: Relatively cheap, looks like it belongs in the entertainment center. There is just enough space inside for what you need (ATX mobo, full size video card if you like - I don't have one, spare hard drives).

Cons: Cheap construction. Things don't exactly line up the way they're supposed to. One of the feet on the bottom didn't have threads for the screw to go into. After 2.5 years of owning it, I finally just hot glued it in place. The cover for the front ports has bent strangely and is difficult to open. The over-sized power button is not a volume knob (not a huge deal, but that's what it looks like).

Overall Review: It's just decent.

Pros: Look good Seem to move air well

Cons: Not very quiet, one (out of three) died after constant use for 2 years.

Overall Review: I bought three of these to stick in my case that doesn't have great airflow. My temps were higher than normal, but I attribute that mostly to the case. I ran that machine almost constantly for 2 years until I noticed the one I installed on the back wasn't turning at full speed any more. I took it out and it seemed to be rubbing or something.

Pros: Gaming in 3d is amazing and gaming in 2d at 120 Hz is phenomenal! It comes with the 3d glasses and the IR receiver for them is built into the monitor, so there's less stuff to plug in and clutter your desk. Plus 3d kits (emitter and glasses) start out at $150, so basically knock that off the price of the monitor and that's what you're really paying. The glasses are Nvidia and the monitor is listed on Nvidia's website as the only 27" to be supported by Nvidia. It also turns out that it's the cheapest (on Newegg) of the 27" 3d monitors anyway. I had no problems whatsoever plugging this in and getting it to work. It works perfectly with my EVGA GTX 570 Classified card. No dead pixels or anything like that.

Cons: Unfortunately, it's Acer and their customer support sucks. I pray that I don't have any problems with this monitor to where I have to contact them. But so far, no problems. Others have said it's too bright and the color representation is off. I am no professional when it comes to video or photography, so I can't comment on that. I certainly didn't spend 3 hours trying to fine tune the color settings. Everything for me worked right out of the box (though it is very bright if you don't turn it down). The stand isn't the greatest, it only tilts (barely).

Overall Review: This monitor is amazing and I got it at 10% off, thanks Newegg! I love that it comes with the 3d glasses and the emitter is built into the monitor. It replaced an Acer X233h that has performed great for the last 2 years and the upgrade is awesome! I will say that the 3d doesn't exactly "jump out" at you, but everything has a lot of depth and looks pretty cool.

Pros: Can run MW2 at highest settings without getting too hot. Crysis 2 handled well, but not at max settings (pretty close). Only 9.5" long (compared to 10.5" for my older GTX 260!)

Cons: One came DOA, but I guess that's what you get when you order recertified?

Overall Review: The lab I work in bought two of these for new builds, however one came DOA. The one that worked was stuck in my work desktop that is usually in Linux. It works fine in Ubuntu 11.04, but for me it is mostly overkill, don't really know how the 3D rendering in Linux handles. Once we RMA'd the DOA one, I tested that one at home on a couple games, seemed to hold its own.

Pros: Been running 6 GB of this for almost two years in my i7 920 build on an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard. I had it overclocked to 1600 without any problems (CPU was at 3600). Never had any issues with this RAM.

Cons: Just bought this to double my system's memory but "due to Intel spec definition, X.M.P. DIMMs and DDR3-1600 are supported for one DIMM per channel only". So I had to leave it at the default 1066 once I got 12 GB in. No fault of the RAM, though.

Overall Review: Despite having to run it at 1066 because I have 12 GB of it, it is pretty good RAM.
