Most Favorable Review
PNY GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX680XPB
PNY GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX680XPB

Pros: Can support games in surround with 3 1920x1080 monitors at max settings on the most modern titles while averaging around 28-45 frames per second. Needless to say, extremely powerful Quiet Runs cool Looks fantastic HDMI cable included

Cons: It's large, but that's a given. This is the first card I've had to remove 2 hard drives to fit into the machine. That's fine though, because I just had to migrate the drives to alternative bays. It was out of stock here, so had to buy from tiger direct.

Overall Review: I would have preferred a lower price without having to go through rebate steps, and I would have liked a lifetime warranty.

Most Critical Review

Decent, but bad with black

Hannspree By HannsG SL231DPB Glossy Black 23" 5ms Full HD LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (Typical)
Hannspree By HannsG SL231DPB Glossy Black 23" 5ms Full HD LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (Typical)

Pros: Extremely affordable and is great for basic computing

Cons: For graphics work or gaming, you will quickly find that the viewing angle vertically is rather awkward. I have two of these monitors and both have the exact same issue. Anything that is black within 25% from the edge of the screen has a very bizarre reflection effect, even in a room with absolutely no lights on. If it's black, it ends up lighter looking than a shade meant to be slightly darker. I am surprised that no one else has commented on this at all. The Dell 24" screen I was replacing is actually better fidelity than these, with and without any calibration done.

Overall Review: If there was a way to remedy this I would gladly rate it 5 stars, but as is would rather have spent more on a higher quality screen.
