Pros: This card is Awesome. Great features in the software, like switching from gaming mode to movie mode, and a volume balancing solution. Got an extra frame per second or two on COD4. Hearing so much more detail now, I will never go back to integrated audio. The light-up X-Fi logo on the side is a nice touch. looks good in my case on top of my GPUs.

Cons: Knocked off an egg due to the crazy high price.

Overall Review: It's a sound card that is twice as powerful as my first computer! If you have an extra $140 to drop on a sound card, this is the best!!!

Pros: CD Roms lock in well. Flip open sides make all MoBo connections a snap! Very nice looking and solid feel. Great cooling, even quiet with lots of airflow. Plenty of room for my massive aftermarket CPU cooler.

Cons: Got mine with one side door latch broken off, had to jimmy a screwdriver to get it open. No big deal once i put in some muscle to force it back into place. Biggest problem: the hard drives stick out almost 2 inches past the edge of the cage. Had to heavily mod the HDD cage to get them all the way in so I could install my video cards. Huge pain. Overall, I would recommend, as long as you don't have a large, high-end GPU.

Overall Review: I would buy this case again, given the cons, just because of the SWEET looks and low price for steel. Took off the 'DIRK-TOOTH" (Lame) and managed to mount a second fan over the vent and all is well. Using 2X radeon HD 4870s in crossfire.

Pros: Editing my prior review... Good card. BUY IT! NOW!

Cons: Have 2 of these in crossfire. The card on top reached a high temp of 112C running 3dmark06! I about fainted when I saw this and immediately modded my case for two more high power fans. Placed one exhaust fan outside of the case right over the PCI slots, and another just in front of where the heat pipes meet blowing cool air into the cards. This helped incredibly! Now they idle around 40C and have reached a high temp of only 81C!!

Overall Review: DO NOT try to add fans right after running 3DMark!! This card was HOT and I got a nice little burn on my wrist! ouch!!

Pros: Burns and plays BD (barely just what I expected though). What else is there to say? Came with latest firmware and powerdvd. 25GB capacity is good for data backup. A decent value but...

Cons: Shoulda gone with the LG.. Similar price but better as follows: Only 4x compared to 6x Single layer (25GB) support only, compared to dual layer (50GB) $6 per disk!!

Overall Review: All I have to say it that HDCP and DRM in general is a PITA!! Had to install powerdvd plus 3 updates (about an hour to download and install) before it will play anything. Took about 3 minutes to start playing BD (my computer was frozen for the 3 minutes). Same thing happened multiple times. It's funny how when you illegXlly download a movie, it always works well, fast, simple, easy... But when you spend a ton of cash on a BD drive and disks, nothing works!!! (I don't download anymore by the way, I want to support the industry). I would recommend waiting a few months to spring for one of these, until the tech gets a bit better and DRM issues are worked out. Until then, watch your movies on your fanastic PS3!

Pros: Effective cooling. Decent price for what you get. Zalman quality. The thermal grease is easy to apply and works well. Decided to use AS Ceramique on a few and seems to cool a bit better, but harder to apply. PITA to install on an AMD board, but fairly easy on an Intel (It's easier to get a screwdriver between this and my NB heatsink than it is your hands)! Good airflow pointing right out of my case. I bought 3!

Cons: Knocked off an egg because although the cooling is more effective than stock cooling, it is still not quite up to par as some other aftermarket coolers I have used. Still highly recommended, unless you plan on aggressive overclocking.

Overall Review: Got this along with a Raidmax Smilodon extreme black (green light accents) case and a mushkin PSU (you can't tell from pics, but mushkins have green leds inside). Topped it off with some green LED Silenx (80mm) and Antec (120mm) case fans. Beautiful system inside and out, and this cooler adds a perfect effect.

Pros: All in all, pretty fast. Heat sinks work very well. Looks great!! 8 Gigs, cooled for $140!!!!!!!!!

Cons: I could not, for the life of me, get this to work at the advertised 1066 speed. Tried EVERYTHING. I would always get an overclock failure error and wiped CMOS. Finally settled with setting the the clock ratio at 2/3 and at 800mhz base, essentially leaving my MoBo to see it as overclocked DDR2-800, Clocked in at 1001Mhz.. not bad but 65Mhz below my expectations.

Overall Review: Only 3 eggs, because 1066 Ram should run at 1066.. NOT 1001!!! At the speed I have it set on, it is very stable and cool at 2.0 volts, instead of the 2.2 the spec sheet lists. Using on a DFI Lanparty p-45 chipset mobo.
