Most Favorable Review

The best out there right now

EVGA 768-P2-N887-AR GeForce 8800Ultra 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 768-P2-N887-AR GeForce 8800Ultra 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: frame rates that are insane. DX10-I'm ready for Crysis!

Cons: NONE. NO, the price is not a con. you want to be an early adoptor of the latest technology, you are going to have to pay for it.

Overall Review: 3dMark06 score of 1475. I am running a single 8800 Ultra. My video test in Fear runs a AVERAGE frame rate of 91FPS. EVGA is the only video company to do business with. Customer service 24/7 located righ in Southern California, new technology step-up program. No other card company gets my business-ever..

Most Critical Review

Incredible case.....BUT

SilverStone Temjin Series NVIDIA edition TJ10B-WNV Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
SilverStone Temjin Series NVIDIA edition TJ10B-WNV Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: *all-metal contruction *plenty of fans-way cool gree nVidia color *easy to flip front access door to opposite opening direction *MOBO tray with tool-less access/a PC builder's dream! *excellent ventilation-fan blows directly onto video GPU's

Cons: *power supply vent in bottom of case. invites dog hair and floor dust to be sucked right into the power supply *flip up USB access panel on one of my cases is inoperable *AWFUL SILVERSTONE SUPPORT-NO RESPONSE FROM THEM AFTER 15 EMAILS AND 5 PHONE CALLS

Overall Review: I have two of these nVidia cases. i like the first one some much I bought another. only problem is the flip up USB panel on top is dead-none of the ports work. I have hooked the panel to a total of 6 USB controllers on two MOBO's, so I know it's the panel. After many, many emails and calls to Silverstone asking for help in resolving this, I received no response. It's a shame, as the case is really fantastic. going forward, however, I just can't do business with a company that will not respond, especially for this kind of $$

An Excellent Pro Camera

Nikon D810 1542 Black 36.3 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only
Nikon D810 1542 Black 36.3 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only

Pros: Image size! lighter than Nikon's traditional pro cameras picture quality is simply outstanding maintains traditional Nikon pro body controls and locations

Cons: Wish Wi-Fi was integrated Must get the MB-D12 grip to make it "feel" and hold like a pro series camera

Overall Review: I sold my venerable D3s for the D810. I have gotten into macro photography in a big way and having a sensor that is 3x the resolution of the D3s is huge, as I like to crop many of my macro shots, and being able to still have a large file after cropping is very nice! Ergonomics are fantastic as is always the case with Nikon pro bodies.A much lighter feel than my D3s even with the vertical grip attached. It's great to have two batteries installed at the same time...virtually unlimited shooting.

Excellent!

ColorVision Spyder2 The Professional's Choice for Monitor Calibration Model CVS2P100
ColorVision Spyder2 The Professional's Choice for Monitor Calibration Model CVS2P100

Pros: Set it and forget it

Cons: uh......

Overall Review: I had no idea what I was missing with my Photoshop work until I calibrated my Samsung 244T 24" widescreen with the Pro Spyder2. It runs everything automagically, and when it's done, your colors are very accurate. Highly recommended.

Oh it's so sweet!

EVGA GeForce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N529-AX
EVGA GeForce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N529-AX

Pros: FAST FAST FAST right out of the box! lifetime warranty

Cons: Expensive, but see above!!

Overall Review: Excellent oc'd speed right from the factory. Plus my name is on the list with EVGA for their "step up program" to purchase the 512MB version with full credit for my 256MB(assuming they ever get any in stock). Meanwhile, I can enjoy this board immensely!

I'm a Corsair bigot!

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 438 (PC 3500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWINX2048-3500LLPRO
CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 438 (PC 3500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWINX2048-3500LLPRO

Pros: Fast, reliable, and I love those cool LED activity lights through my clear case side panel!

Cons: pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: I have never used any other type of memory in any PC. Yes there is memory out there that's faster, but Corsair is tested with virtually every major mobo manufacturer. I bought it for my ASUS A8N32-SLI mobo as it was certified to operate with it, and it does perfectly. Rock solid reliable memory. Well worth the price.
