Good Storage

Patriot Razzo 16GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model PSF16GRUSB
Patriot Razzo 16GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model PSF16GRUSB

Pros: Tons of space! Can get over 30MB/s copying from the device! Has been running strong with near daily use for 3 months.

Cons: Can only get 5.5MB/s copying to the device.

Overall Review: If you don't mind waiting a while to fill it up, it's a good reliable usb drive.

EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Quiet! Awesome performance. Runs all my games at 1920x1080 high quality without a hitch and effortlessly powers my 24" HD monitor. Runs cool (71 degrees Celsius at full load, 69 degrees F ambient). This card is much quieter than I had thought it would be and I am grateful.

Cons: I didn't buy it from newegg, but from a brick & mortar competitor. If you get it at newegg you get Mirror's Edge for free (coupon in the box from manufacturer) and Call of Duty World at War for free right now. From the competitor only a 20% off coupon for Mirror's Edge, but at least I got to take the card home right away. I didn't know about the free games at the time of purchase.

Overall Review: I turned the fan up to 100% just to see and it is loud, but during normal use it's never been past 40% and I can't hear it over the sound of my 120mm case fans, even with Folding@Home cuda version running. I am very impressed with this card. Runs fine on Vista 64bit. Replaced a BFG 9600GT OC with this and haven't looked back. The card is 10.5" long and double-width but vents outside the case which is awesome. Also, the power connectors are located on the top of the card instead of the back, so the power cables don't add to the length of this already massive card when connected.

Best PS I Ever Had
