Amazing Card

Pros: - Powerful - Factory Superclocked - Sleek - Quiet
Cons: - Heavy - Price
Overall Review: This thing takes everything I throw at it in stride. It is probably one of the most gorgeous cards I have ever seen. Factory Superclocked to 800mhz is no joke. The thing is heavy too, which isn't necessarily so bad but it will strain your board. I do wish I would have purchased the 3gb mem model (thought I had, novice mistake). Additionally, the Classified model and 590 came out just a few months after I bought this. I'm happy with the purchase but if I had to buy another I'd go classified (the support on any classified line is amazing, so is EVGA's overall.) The 590 isn't much more than this, but I'm not too confident that many games can utilize dual GPU cards effectively yet. The card is expensive (one of the most expensive cards I've ever seen) but if you were to buy a super clocked 580 and put the liquid cooling plates on it yourself you'd end up paying almost as much. The card runs at 28C idle in my system and maxes at 48C.
Works Great for Light Usage

Pros: - Quiet - Cheap - Does as advertised
Cons: - None
Overall Review: Despite other user's reviews, I've had no problems with this drive. It does as it advertised, and was a pretty good deal in my opinion. I use it primarily for Reading, but occasionally have burned a DVD or two. I've never burned a BD with this drive even though it has the ability. I've had the drive almost a year and it's still running strong.
Cheap!

Pros: - Cheap
Cons: - Flimsy
Overall Review: Works great as advertised, no problems what so ever discovering and connecting to networks. I got this on a shell shocker ($7) and it turned out to be a great buy. Has been running smoothly for almost a year, thing is so cheap that if it failed on me I wouldn't be too upset to have to get another.
Fast and Cool

Pros: - Fast - Cool - XMP Profile for 1600Mghz
Cons: - Fan is Loud
Overall Review: I don't use the XMP profile, I've heard some people run into issues. As with most ram, don't forget to increase the speed up to its rated 1600 in the BIOS. The fan is a bit loud when on full blast, but that is to be expected (small fans @ high RPM's will be loud.) Still, can't deduct an egg. The ram runs cool enough to run the fan's at 50% RPM and not even notice they're there. I do wish the RAM had tighter timings though.
Quick Little Drive

Pros: - Fast - Small - Comes with 5.25" Adapter Plate
Cons: - None
Overall Review: Bought this drive to run Win7 Ultimate. Has been running well for the last year. Bootup on the EVGA board is a bit slow (has nothing to do with the hard drive) but once you're past post this thing zips. Win7 will recover from Hibernation or Hybrid Sleep before you can even look away from the power button. After installing Win7 and all system drivers I have about 20gb left. I'd suggest redirecting your TEMP folders (and your user folder) to another drive to increase longevity of the drive. Not to mention, my TEMP folders can reach 20gb quickly which the drive simply cannot handle. If you choose not to do the above, then I would suggest the next level up - 120gb.
Silent!

Pros: - Extremely Quiet - Extremely Stable - Extremely Powerful - Affordable
Cons: - Not 100% Modular
Overall Review: This has been running great & completely silent for almost a year. When I turn the thing on, the lights in my house dim for a split second. My only gripe is that the design is not 100% modular. Still, for the quality product you get, the price is great buy (despite that PSU's have become very cheap.)
