This is, in my opinion, a perfectly designed computer case. It looks nice, it has ample room for just about any sort of build you can imagine, it has great wire management features, and the fans that come with it are pretty good as well.
The built-in fans run quiet, and the case really helps keep everything cool. USB 3.0 built-in and a hot swap bay, and it's fantastic. Would definitely recommend!
What's great about it: Lots of space, good fans, easy to use and setup
What's not so great: You need a lot of room for it, because it is huge
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid gfx card - not a terrible price

I upgraded from a 2x nVidia GTX 460 SLI setup to a single nVidia GTX 670 FTW edition. I will probably never use SLI again based on my previous experience with it. There were several games that were completely incompatible with SLI mode, and others that didn't handle it well.
Since switching to the 670, I've been much happier with overall performance and compatibility. The primary games that I have spent a good amount of time on since getting the card are Star Wars: The Old Republic and Civilization V with the Gods & Kings expasion. I have also spent small amounts of time testing other games (Guild Wars 2 on beta events, The Wither 2, Just Cause 2, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, etc..) and this card has handled every single game that I've tested very well on the highest settings.
The only issues that I have had are the following:
- Even with most updated drivers, I have had the display drivers stop working spontaneously and crash whichever game I was playing. This has happened in Civ and Star Wars, and I think it is heat related.
- I have recently been testing 3D with the nVidia 3D Vision 2 kit. I've only been testing this for a couple of days, but it doesn't seem to like switching between modes. Once it's in 3D, it works well, and in 2D mode, it works well, but transitioning between the 2 doesn't seem very intuitive or easy. This may have more to do with my inexperience with it than the card or software/hardware though.
Overall, I've been extremely pleased with the card and am happy with my purchase.
What's great about it: Runs everything on highest settings, great benchmark scores
What's not so great: Seems to run hot, even with great cooling in the case, 3d is shaky
I would recommend this to a friend!
