Hot card!

Pros: very fast. HUGE improvement over my old 8800gts. 256 bit GDDR5 is really nice. MW2, L4D2 all high settings 60fps+. WEI score is 7.5 (7.9) i know my C2D is a bottleneck but this card still performs! i have not had any problems with the drivers (10.2) on win 7 x64. lifetime warranty is a great value, i dont care if this card cost an extra $15.
Cons: gets very hot. i know its normal for this card to get hot but i have good airflow in my case and the card has overheated and BSOD twice already(after about an hour of gaming). also no heatsinks on the ram. should probably get aftermarket vga cooler for this card. tight fit in my cooler master mid tower. had to rearrange the hard drives a bit to get it to fit.
Overall Review: very good value just make sure you can cool the card down properly. C2D E2180 oc'ed @ 3.0Ghz, 6Gb DDR2, Thermaltake 550W psu.
keys fall off

Pros: slim design. nice orange decoration on the side. cheap.
Cons: the keys are fairly loud when typing. keys feel cheap and flimsy. period key continuously falls off after light use. the keys are easily re attachable but its still a huge pain. also, the enter key is oversized because the backslash/pipe key is jammed next to the shift key. wastes a lot of time trying to correct typos and looks stupid.
Overall Review: needed a cheap keyboard fast. shouldve waited for a deal on a better quality item.
Excellent, Reliable, Fast

Pros: Screaming fast. access times are <0.2ms. after post, windows 7 gets to the desktop in under 7 seconds. WEI jumped from 5.9 to 7.7/7.9 and this is on SATA II. got this on sale for $80. still the fastest line of drives for random access times.
Cons: only 64gb but still plenty of space for windows 7. still have about 40gb free so this isnt really a con.
Overall Review: the random 4k speeds are what sets this drive apart from other drives. that and reliability. these drive have a very low failure rate. spend the extra few dollars and get this drive.
really nice case

Pros: great airflow. love the side panel window. looks great very sturdy design. enough room for all my components. very well made.
Cons: not really cons, just stuff that irks me -non removable motherboard tray -hard drive bays face straight back. very difficult to access the hard drives without removing the graphics card -the plastic clips to keep expansion cards in place are not enough. use screws or brackets to keep the cards from moving around.
Overall Review: overall very good case, well made and would buy again.
