Great so far...

Pros: I needed to upgrade my video card... I had a 64 MB ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 AGP card that just couldn't keep up with the newer games. I'm on a Compaq Presario from 2003, though, so no PCI Express slot and only a 250 watt power supply. This card was the most powerful AGP card I could get that wouldn't melt my power supply. Just as an FYI, BFG cards seem to need less power than other brands. After I installed this card, I loaded up Team Fortress 2, and it runs great! I can put most of the settings on high, game looks great and isn't choppy at all. I can also run Battle for Middle Earth II on higher settings now, where before I had to keep them on Low. Nvidia software and drives were easily downloaded and installed from their website. No problems there.
Cons: Obviously I still can't run Bioshock or Call of Duty 4 with this card, but I knew that going in. So far, I've encountered nothing negative with this card.
Overall Review: This card has delivered exactly what I expected and needed. BFG Tech also has a lifetime warranty, which no one else does. If you need to add some graphics power to an older AGP system, and your power supply is sub 300 Watts, this card is a great option!
Exceptional budget performance!

Pros: I bought this card in Nov of last year when I built my new system. It was the best bang for the buck graphics at the time (and might still be) and I desperately wanted to play Team Fortress 2 at higher resolutions. This card has delivered! I play at 1280 x 1024 with all high settings, and this card never goes below 80 fps even in the heaviest action. I'm very pleased. I'll be buying Sapphire again in the future.
Cons: None at all. I've had no problems with noise or heat.
Overall Review: COOLERMASTER ELITE330 case ASROCK P45TS mobo INTEL E8500 4GB GSKILL BLACK DDR2 800 PC POWER & COOLING SILENCER 500W psu SAPPHIRE HD 4850
Rock solid

Pros: Bought this psu in Nov of last year. Paired it up with an Intel E8500 and a Sapphire HD 4850. It runs quiet & cool, and I've not had the slightest problem at all. It installed very easily in my CoolerMaster case, and it just looks & feels solid. Made from quality stuff.
Cons: Modular cables would be a help. My case isn't huge and I'm not great with cable mgmt. This is a very small complaint, though.
Overall Review: I'm very happy with this PC Power & Cooling psu. Whenever I need a new psu (could be a while, this puppy is all I need for current uses), I'll be purchasing another one!
Not one hiccup

Pros: I'm very satified with this board. It was easy to set up, and everything works like a charm. It will take DDR2 1066 and DDR3, but due to price I put in some low latency DDR2 800, and it screams.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This was my first ever build, and it was a snap with this AsRock board. I haven't had one problem, and posting was simple. Didn't have to flash the BIOS or anything. My system has been rock solid. Intel E8500 dual core, 4 GB G-Skill Black DDR2 800, Sapphire Radeon HD 4850, 500 GB Samsung drive, XP, etc etc.
Running like a champ

Pros: My motherboard will take DDR21066, but the price was def right on this low latency DDR2800. Popped it in, and these 2 sticks have not given me one bit of trouble. Free shipping was nice as well!
Cons: None
Overall Review: My Asrock P45TS mobo recognized the 4-4-4-12 timings right away, and is running the sticks at 1.79v. I run XP, so my machine only recognizes 3.15 gbs, but it's still more than I need. No complaints here!
Perfect for what I needed!

Pros: This case was very well packaged, and looked great out of the box. Build quality seems good, and everything is sturdy. I added in a front 120mm fan for more airflow. This thing is easy to set up, and the tool-less brackets didn't seem flimsy at all.
Cons: The manual could have been a little more in depth. Getting the tool-less bracket on the other side of the hard drive is crazy hard... but that's it.
Overall Review: This was my first ever build, and this case met all my expectations and gave me no trouble at all. Plenty of room for my Sapphire HD4850 and my hard drives. My CPU and GPU have cool temps so far.
