Mine isn't too fancy. 11" x 8.5 Cloth with rubber backing. Believe the brand is XTRAC. Works great. In the future I might buy a steel pad so I don't have to worry about peeling edges.

I've never had a problem with my video cards. I make sure I keep them free of dust. Granted, I never OC them. (Geforce 4 TI 4400, Radeon X800 AGP, 7800GT) I'm most impressed with my FX5900. It has been running for 5 years without a hitch. Maybe I'm lucky?

I haven't OCed mine yet, probably won't for awhile. Just curious- What resolution are you playing at and what games are having the issues? I'm @ 1920X1200 and my card doesn't break a sweat, granted, I haven't tried Crysis yet!

Well, it's a hell of a lot better than the last design. I like the venting system.

I'd get the Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS over the others. It's on sale for $65.00 right now. Ten bucks cheaper than last week. Quickest of the bunch too. If you have the extra $15.00, it will serve you well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319

Awesome setup! I get mine on Wed! Can't wait. Thanks for sharing the experience with us. :)

To those of you who are considering a purchase from ZZF... check out this reseller ratings page. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ZipZoomFly Now check out Newegg's. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Newegg My 5870 was purchased from Newegg on Fri and will be here on Wed according to...

Looking forward to the results. Hopefully we'll have a solid driver release in the near future.

With only gaming in mind.. I wouldn't upgrade the CPU at this point. If your bent on upgrading, save your money for i5/i7 or do as skadebo stated, something that will benefit you noticeably. (SSD, peripherals, sound card/speakers, etc)

Aye, I'd definitely OC that baby.

I don't think you should wait for the next generation. The 5870 offers a great performance increase over the 4890. If I were you and wanted to squeeze a few more FPS out of my rig, I'd do one of three things. 1. Sell the 4890 and put that $ towards a 5870. 2. Buy another 4890 for Crossfire...

+1 Instead of saving up for a 5870, save up for a monitor and 5850. Probably cost about the same. The 5870 would be major overkill for the resolution you run.

Wow... Well hopefully the freshly baked GTX lasts you until you get a 4580 shipped to you! ;)

That is massive. Stating the obvious, but.... yeah. Wow. *drool*

+1 for the 5870. DX11 support, cost to performance ratio, and the most powerful single GPU option for the time being. It will last you a bit longer. Personally I'd rather go with the purchase that future proofs me a bit. Just my humble opinion! EDIT: With that bit of info available now, I'd go...
