Superb graphics cards!

EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) Classified Ultra 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) Classified Ultra 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Excellent performance for the price! These cards are separated from other 560Ti's in that they have the additional 448 cores BUT also because of their PCB layout design is that of the 580's. This means the power delivery system is superior! I have a pair of these cards and I've yet to have a game that stresses the cards to their max. BF3, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, even Crysis 1&2 and Metro 2033 are displayed at 1200p in over 60fps.

Cons: Just because a card can supply tons of power doesn't always make it a good thing. These cards can get hot quick, and with that means their fans start to whirl up like cyclones. I'm not a big fan of eVGA's cooling solutions as my 470's did exactly the same thing. Good thing these have the 580 PCB which means aftermarket coolers work as well as some waterblocks.

Overall Review: Looking back I'd say these cards have performed extremely well and I'm really glad I purchased them. Their performance is better than some GTX 570's and their design is superior. Great cards here!

Not bad for the money

Pros: Very inexpensive, light, and easy to fly. My 4 year old was able to master take-off's within the first day of play. Very easy to control, especially for a first time flyer. That said, it was surprisingly durable. Many crashes and bumps have not slowed this bad boy down.

Cons: Fairly low flight times at about 8 minutes. Its fun while it lasts, but quickly shows re-charging needs. Lots of AA batteries for the controller, but you can charge the heli directly from the remote. Only usable for indoor, outdoor wind will crash this instantly.

Overall Review: A great gift for a child. I worried that my kiddo would break it as soon as he played with it, well I must say it has taken a few bashes but keeps on flying right. Such a great gift as my little one was extremely excited to receive it as a present this year.

Asus kills!

ASUS P5Q-E LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5Q-E LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board overclocks! It handles everything I've thown at it. Simply put it is the best board I've ever invested in. Handles FSB over 500(what more do you want?) Triple Pci-e lanes for XF w/2 cards and an extra slot for a physics card!

Cons: None atm

Overall Review: System specs: e8200 @ 3.6GHz 4GB Corsair Dom. Seagate 7200.11 320GB Corsair 750W 3870x2 plus a 8600GTS for phyxs
