They work

Pros: they work, what else can you expect from a cable

Cons: N/A

Great power for price

XFX Radeon R9 290X 8GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R9-290X-8DFD
XFX Radeon R9 290X 8GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R9-290X-8DFD

Pros: - Looks good - Runs cool and quiet - Plays every game I've tried with maxed out settings at 1080p (even while recording) - Installed drivers and worked perfectly

Cons: -The way the heat sink is designed makes it difficult to press the clips on a power cable in. - The metal plate to mount it to the rear of the case needed some adjustment to fit properly (this could have been an issue with my case, hard to tell, previous cards had no issues) - Didn't come with any stickers/badges #TotalDevastation

Overall Review: Picked this card up on sale to replace my cross-fired 6970's and it's outperformed them by a long shot. If you are even considering buying this card, you're best off just doing it, you won't regret it.

Money well spent

Pros: It's solid, tons of cable management, carrying handles are nice, neat things like the thumb screw power supply mount and the super easy to swap hard drive mounts are nice, looks really nice. Easy access to pretty much anything in the case.

Cons: The 200mm fan mount on top does not a fit a normal 200mm fan, you need to have a fan with the the offset mounts. Not really a con but the fan I had did not work.

Overall Review: I used this for my gaming rig and it's keeping the internal temp about 10 Celsius cooler than my previous case and with the intake layout and the two fans up front both my graphics cards and CPU radiator are staying considerably cooler than any standard case I've owned.

Excellent

Pros: Solid, plenty of connecters, as soon as you pick it up you know its a quality piece of hardware.

Cons: Cables are a tad hard to manage due to the mesh coating, but that's understandable.

Overall Review: This is a much more heavy power supply then most, i'd recommend putting it in a bottom mount case or making sure it can very securely mount in the top.

It works
