Pros: Good price. Keeps cpu at normal temperatures for moderate use. Easy to install.
Cons: Just a little to tall (3mm) for a standard mid tower case. This shouldn't take away from the product though. I'm in Europe and certain things don't ship well over here like cases. So I'll get a new case, like I've been wanting to for some time, when I can.
Overall Review: Need new case.
Remember when....
Pros: Price was good.
Cons: Price was too good. Remember when Seagate and WD made HHDs that lasted forever? Because I do.... This HHD died after a little over 18 months of use. At least when it was going out, it stayed alive just long enough to retrieve a few things.
Overall Review: I'm not putting past the fact that it may have been a power surge... Behind the PC power supply, a surge protector, an UPS, and a room in the house wired to break of grounding...
Great monitor
Pros: Easy to use, takes a beating while moving a lot and still works like a champ. Great little monitor for home/office use.
Cons: None
SSD is the way to go
Pros: I bought this to keep my OS on it and have my 1TB be the storage of stuff. Best call I have ever made. The read/write time is very low and just with this one replacement, boot up time has decreased by 80%.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Maybe it's because I'm a little lazy, but I wish I had an adapter to put this in a regular HHD slot on an ATX tower. I don't really care for just sitting it inside and letting it go.
Good price
Pros: I caught this on sale and I'm very glad I did. No problems and the temperature stays low on it.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I wasn't looking to build a computer strong enough to launch the space shuttle. But the speed on this ram is fast enough to keep me from complaining and wondering if grimlings are inside the wiring slow down the traffic.
No need for SLI
Pros: I've been able to run all my games on the highest graphics level with no problem. It utilizes very few resources from the CPU and can independently process what it needs to. Auto detectable by any OS and easily configurable for whatever screen setup you have.
Cons: The screens available to fully utilize the awesomeness of this video card are really expensive. Lol
Overall Review: While I don't always stress videos cards out to their full potential, I can for sure say that this is the "fire and forget" video card for low to moderately high experience/use. There is no need for someone to go through the hassle of setting up SLI when this card is available. Now, for those who do more graphic intensive stuff than me, it's your call, but I think this can support some pretty complicated stuff.
