Pros: The cooler works great at keeping the temps reasonable. Looks nice too. Card is well clocked out of the box, but I took mine up to 700/1750/1000. Runs everything I can throw at it. The only time I have to turn off AA and consider running lower than 1600X1200 is Crysis, but that game kills evey card. Price is simply amazing for this card. The difference between this and my X1800XT is astounding.

Cons: The fan shroud. Same problem everyone else has. 2 minutes with a small screw driver fixes the issue.

Overall Review: Couldn't have done better for the price. Well worth the purchase if you've got hardware that struggles with running your LCD in its native res.

Pros: For the first few months I had no problems burning DVDs 1-16x. I've burned DVD-R, DVD+R DL, and CDs without any problems. Worked great until it started to die.

Cons: Drive had a tendancy to be noisy even at idle. Would make strange clicking noises. Started making those noises during DVD burns and producing coasters. Hopefully I was just unlucky and my replacement will last longer.

Overall Review: As long as it doesn't die its a great burner. Bought it to replace my Sony DRU-710A... sadly enough this is going back for replacement and my Sony is back in my PC and burning without any problems.

Pros: Fast when it works

Cons: Flickering when using two monitors. Opened a ticket an hour after I installed it and received a response from Sapphire telling me to RMA it the next morning.

Overall Review: Look into getting a different card. There are a number of other options in the same price/performance area.

Pros: Airflow is excellent even on low fan settings. Love the drive bays. Makes it really easy to swap HD's. Stylish looks. Nice blue glow. Very quiet.

Cons: Needs more cable management.

Overall Review: If it wasn't for the lack of a way to manage cable mess the case would be perfect. The airflow is great and the case is quiet. There are some modding guides for cable management out there for this case.

Pros: Excellent sound quality, and the front bay is very nice to have. My Auzentech card had problems in games. I would get stuttering and crackling. This X-Fi has none of those problems, at least for me anyway. The sound quality is on par with my Auzentech card.

Cons: I would have given the card a 5 if it wasn't for all the problems I had getting the drive bay to work. I spent probably 3 hours before it finally started working. There's no simple fix.. its all trial and error.

Overall Review: If you can get it on sale its a great buy, but I don't think I would pay over $150 for it.

Pros: Cheap and Fast. Perfect for people who don't want to buy new ram/board to get a C2D. Mine hit 2.9 Prime stable air cooled on stock voltage. Not prime stable at 3.0 but boots into windows.

Cons: None that I can think of

Overall Review: Motherboard is an Epox 9NPA3 Ultra. This process is definitely worth the low price tag. Its perfect for people with 939 Boards who want to go dual core. An excellent choice if you want to wait until Quad Core procs come down in price.
