EVGA 896-P3-1267-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-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Sick Card. Best Bang for the buck. You basically get a 280 for $300. EVGA is the best. Great Overclocking utility. Step Up Program. Free PC Mark Vantage download, and Far Cry 2 via mail. My System is E8500, Asus Maximun II Formula overclocked to 4.0ghz on air, 420 fsb. 3d mark 06 score of 16599!!! I highly recommend this card its the best of price vs performance.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Buy this card!!

Pros: It is Pure Class. No Flashing lights and neon glow. This thing comes in a very slick package and it screams world class. This thing barely gets warm under as full a load as I can throw at it. Very quiet. Plenty of cables for anything you desire. The Internal components are of the highest quality.

Cons: Are you kidding?

Overall Review: Um Ya go ahead and buy now!

Pros: This is by far the best air cooler I have ever owned. It looks great. Its Big, but fits my Asuss Maximus II Formula with no problem. Now for the cooling. I replaced an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro and this thing completly blows the Freezer Pro out of the water. I am ideling at 67 degrees Farenheit and when running Orthos Balanced Test it peaks at 98 degrees! I am using MX-2 thermal paste. These temps are on a Maximus II Formula, E8500 OC'd to 3.8 ghz, 400 fsb with 4 gigs dominator all in an ABS Canyon 695. In my opinion this is the best cpu fan available!

Cons: the cpu fan cable is 3 pin and my MB cpu fan controller pin is 4 pin. So i am not able to control the speed of the fan thru Q-fan in the Bios. It comes with an external controller that i did not want to have to use, but it looks like i will have to use it if I want to run the fan at anything under 100%.

Overall Review: Best fan out there in my opinion!

Pros: Ok, This Case is Sick. Very Well made, and suprisingly light. Air Flow is insane, as is the build quality. Fairly quiet with cpu and case fans cranked up all the way. If you want a show stopper (in an understated way) then get this case

Cons: My only complaint would be cable management. The case leads and a couple power supply cables had to be run on the right side of the case. this causes the right panel to slightly bow out because the fit is soo tight. I wish they would have made the case about 3/4 of an inch wider on the right side to allow for better cable management. If it was not for this issue I would give 5 eggs.

Overall Review: I recommend this case!
