Was lurking Newegg and thought I'd share. Looks like one helluva buy to me.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

EVGA fanboy. Yes EVGA is awesome, but it's not god FFS.

This one would rape the EVGA one: It's faster, has more OC potentional, is sillent, and doesnt run hot.

That enormous heat sink looks like it'd put a bit too much stress on the pcb.

MSI sucks fucking ass. Don't get me started on them.

I waded into the deep end of MSI bugginess when I tried out a Neo 2 Platinum for my 2004 PC. Needless to say, I fell back to ASUS like they were gravity.
