Nice Card

Pros: As always ASUS has done a a great job with this card. I enjoy the small details like the full back plate, and just the standbye power led indicator that lets you know that at least power is connected.
Cons: My only regret is that ASUS is not putting more Ram onboard the card. I mostly fly flight simulators, These type of applications rely heavily on Ram on the card.
Dissapointed

Pros: The Powersupply works and is quite
Cons: Not Corsair's typical quality. I use all Corsair products when I can, and I do not think this device is up to Corsairs build quality. Cables and to be forced into the ports on the Powersupply and on the mother board. They do not fit well a all.
Overall Review: I love corsair products. I know the RM series is not Corsairs top of the line system, but I did expect the same build quality from corsair. I just expected that there would be less features.
Stick has the real feel of actual aircraft.

Pros: Made of metal and the stick has a fluid feel within its axis
Cons: Not a fan of throttles. The type of switches that have been used make it difficult to utilize the switch for any other function than what it is labeled for (A10) most are SPST switches. If all you want to fly is the DCS A-10 then it wont matter much to you.
Overall Review: Feel like they put a lot of extra metal into the base of the throttles to give the "weight" and feel of quality. Personally i still use my Saitek HOTAS throttles with the Warthog stick.
Great Board

Pros: Great board from ASUS, I love the "heft" of the board. I wish ASUS would make a TUFF series board in all form factors for all chipsets. This would be the only board I would every purchase. Best warrenty around and never dissapoints.
Cons: I thought the extra armor and port plugs came with the board. This should be made more clear in the description
Overall Review: I used this board in a flight simulator build that will be transorted to airshows all around the world. The system will have to work in all enviroments, particularly in outside temps of over 110 degrees F.
Ok Product

Pros: The case has a great finish, and fingerprints do not show up. Allows for a fairly powerful system in a medium size form factor.
Cons: A few main issues 1. instructions were not very good, they left a lot to be desired 2. Having the power, reset, and audio jacks on the side panel is a terrible idea. To be able to take the panel off you must disconnecte the "front cables" from the switch or take them off of the mother board, which is covered by the CD-Rom Drive. 3. Mother board tray did not come out to allow for easier builds 4. Power button does not work. This is an issue because of how difficult it was to build a system in. I am not going to take the computer completly apart just to RMA the power button. I have contacted BitFenix and asked for a new side panel and I have ot hear a reply.
Overall Review: Not a bad case. I would NOT recommend this for a first time build.
Good System

Pros: System is built great. All parts arrived in one piece. I really liked the box for all the small parts. That is a major plus
Cons: My one main con are the directions.... they are terrible. It honestly looks like they took the CAD drawings and printed them. There was no finished product picture included. This is why i took one egg off.
Overall Review: This system is not the easiest to build, not because it takes any skill, but the directions are almost useless. I went back to Neweggs pictures to build the system. Take your time and it will be fine. Remember this is a TEST BENCH, not a normal enclosure, or even an open air case. It is purpose built to allow for multiple systems to be built, tested, and removed. This is why I purchased one for my company
Fast and complete
NewEggs Premier is worth the cost in the saving on shipping.
