Pros: This card is _fast_. We use it in a high-throughput imaging application to pull live images off of a frame-grabber at over 250 MB per second. It kicks this problems $%#. Not something I can say about any other piece of hardware.

Cons: I started getting BSOD's a couple of weeks in, trying permutations of different active/installed hardware finger the card as the culprit. This manifests as the following waring in Event Viewer: "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.", followed by a hard BSOD like 5 seconds later. Second, don't but this card to minimize your boot time, the internal configuration calculus it runs at each boot comfortably takes 30-45 seconds. . .

Overall Review: Kinda sucks to pay $1400 for a crashy card . . . :( We are a startup and these kinda things hurt.

Pros: Cheap for 4 NIC's. Good overall layout.

Cons: Requires UDIMM's (not mentioned on newegg page). Would not work with using two PCIE x8 raid cards. Tech-support was responsive, and we had several email back-and-forths and tried an experimental bios from the mfg, but ultimately we were unable to get it working in the configuration we needed. We were additionally unable to return it, as the cleaning service for our lab discarded the boxes. *sigh*

Overall Review: This probably works well for many applications, just not ours.

Pros: This case is hella cheap. I mean there is not one extra ounce of metal to spare in this thing. With additional rebate, these were ~ $30. Wow. Totally worth it at this price.

Cons: I bought three of these, one red, one blue, and one green. Needs love. Easy cons: 4Pin cpu power is dated at best. There are adapters available in Newegg. There are missing holes necessary to support the full ATX MB standard. They all needed some love. 1/3 booted on first try. There is a secret power switch that is internal to the case (pull off front panel to find) that I would have never knew of if they shipped in the "on" position. Fixed this on two which brought me to 2/3 working. The last one had a defective power extension cable which brings the power from the back of the case to the "front" hidden panel where it connects to the PSU. I replaced this with a longerish cable that hang jankily out of the back of the case. I would be satisfied if the manufacturer replaced this cable for me.

Overall Review: I learned how to test a power supply using a multimeter. I guess that is a skill I never knew I wanted.

Pros: Worked great when I got it.

Cons: I had some BSOD's I assumed to be unrelated, then I entered the matrix. Artifacts everywhere, and the device would stop working all the time, windows would report that it got restarted after a 2 minute hang. Now happens ever 20 minutes or so. Check the NVIDIA forums before buying, everyone is having this problem :(

Overall Review: Makes a nice coffee warmer if given the right voltages.

Pros: Might run for 8 hours under light load.

Cons: Freeze followed by BSOD approximately every 5 hours under realistic load scenarios. Started booting routinely saying "overclocking failed" despite not using anything but the defualt settings.

Overall Review: 3 PCIe slots is nice for our application, but more stability is needed. Avoid.

Paid 1.4k for a new CPU. Got an open-box. No Bueno.
