Great Card!

Pros: Great card for price. Quiet - even running fan at higher speeds doesn't seem to be noisy. Runs cool - Playing BF3 on ULTRA, stays at around 62C or less. Normal HDMI, not mini-HDMI. Easily over-clocked further with Precision X - I have not OC this card and probably won't. This card is great so far, have no complaints. I play BF3 mostly and this card runs the game maxed out on ULTRA settings. I run it @ 1920x1080 resolution. Looks like it runs at around 30-40 FPS, which is fine with me. My system only has PCI 2.0, so I wonder how much better the 3.0 would run it. This card replaced my 9800 GT which could only run BF3 on LOW.
Cons: None that I can think of right now. I've only had the card for a week now. This card performs how I expected it to. I hear no buzzing sounds or anything else with this card.
Overall Review: My system is over 3 years old. Windows 7 64-bit Intel 2 Quad Core 2.33 mhz 8 GB RAM 1333 mhz Antec 500 watt PS
Nice air and lights, but could last longer...

Pros: Blows air well and the light makes the front of my tower look nice. Not too loud.
Cons: I've had this fan since 2009, along with the Antec fans that came with my case. Maybe it's me, but I think fans should last a bit longer. It still works the same, but I believe the fan itself comes off balance in the the casing it is in and it starts to vibrate and make noise. If you give it a tap with your finger it will then "shut up", but the noise comes back after a bit. My Antec fans are still nice and smooth and don't make noise.
Excellent and nice!

Pros: Small, light, simple, and works great!
Cons: None really. This switch feels very cheap and the IR adapter looks cheap too, so I'd probably NOT drop it.
Overall Review: Works perfectly. I use it with my PC, PS3, and 27" Acer monitor. I use HDMI from the PC and PS3 to the switch and then a HDMI to DVI cable from the switch to monitor and have no problems. The remote works great too, I just have to point the remote in the general direction of the IR adapter and it changes fine.
Using for my PC and PS3

Pros: Huge for a PC monitor! Went from a 22" to this 27". So much easier to do school work on, browse multiple web pages at once, manage my music, photos and such.... Has a good enough response time for me in playing BF3, GTA V, and everything else so far. This monitor is BRIGHT! The whites are bright white. You can control the brightness which helped me. The monitor also has presets for graphics, gaming, and movies and such. Nice smooth design too, I don't think it looks cheap at all.
Cons: It would be good to have HDMI, but it's fine, I bought a HDMI to DVI cable which still presents the same HD functions. Colors are good, but they are slightly different than using a TV for gaming for example. I would say the Vizio TV I was using temporarily had much crisper colors than this monitor, but it's nothing that I'm disappointed in and will get use to it.
Overall Review: I bought this and quit using my 22" Acer because I recently bought a PS3 to get GTA V. I moved my Vizio 26" into my office and put it on my PC in order to use the PS3 and PC simultaneously. I decided to just buy an actual monitor along with a HDMI switch with a remote and the needed extra cables. This monitor works well being used with the HDMI switch. My PC and PS3 go into the switch and then my HDMI to DVI cable goes from the switch to monitor. Great setup and simple, not disappointed!
