Pros: Flight Time Durability Price

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wanted a inexpensive little RC Helicopter to play around with in the house and this is perfect! It's very cheap and EXTREMELY durable.

Great card/deal - Pretty loud

Pros: This card really did exceed my expectaions. I've read a ton of reviews on it and did a lot of research before deciding to purchase it. I previously had two 7800GTX's in SLI. This card completely blows them out of the water. I mostly play FPS games like BF2, CoD4, CS:Source, etc... I can turn all settings up at max resolution with no problems at all. It's not sluggish or jittery at anytime in game.

Cons: The only problem I have with the card so far is how loud the fan is. I installed the card yesterday morning and when my Wife and I were in the dining room eating dinner I heard this loud noise and couldn't figure out what it was. I then realized it was the fan on this card. Man, it can be extremely loud. However, durring gameplay I don't really notice it at all. After the computer is idle for a bit, it slows down and it's not so noticeable.

Overall Review: Overall, this card is a great buy. For the results it puts out, at this price, I don't think it can be beat. The fan noise can be somewhat controlled via nVidia nTune if it really bothers you that much. Perhaps you may even be able to install an aftermarket fan on it, or use another source for cooling it.

One great PS!

Pros: Put's out what it says it puts out. Very, very quiet PS, unlike many others I've had (including BFG). Has cables to support Quad GPU's. Cables are pretty long so you can route them however you need to. Cables are wrapped in a mesh-like material so they are easy to manage and gives a nice, clean look to the inside of your case. Also comes with plenty of power connections, as well as SATA power plugs.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If your a gamer, or need a high quality machine with a lot of components, this is the PS you want to look into. I have this along with a Antec 900 case and it's the case combo I've ever owned, so far!

Best case, hands down!

Pros: This case is by far the best case i've ever owned. Every component in my case is running much cooler than before (coolermaster cavalier case). My CPU dropped about 8-10 degrees C, two 7800 GTX (SLI) video cards dropped a LOT. One of the video cards dropped 20c, and the other 10 (one dropped less than the other b/c it had an aftermarket Zalman fan/HS on it). The Hard drives all dropped about 12c also. The only thing I did was place another fan on the side plexiglass door. Other than that, all fans are running on LOW (you have the option for low, med, high).

Cons: NONE AT ALL!

Overall Review: My case is a little loud due to my video card fans, but others say it is really a quiet case. It has excellent air flow throughout. Having the power supply at the bottom of the case is awesome! You have to get this case... along with a PC Power & Cooling 750 watt p/s of course :P !!
