Sorry, I meant specifically the EVGA cards, which is what the OP asked about. I have no experience with other brands since my ASUS GF4 Ti4600. Once they started the step-up program, I quit shopping around.

I love my Solo, and when it first arrived it seemed huge both outside and in. Once I had it stuffed with my then current rig it still seemed roomy. I've upgraded from that tiny 8600GT to an 8800GTS 512 and have since upgraded that card with an Accelero S1 with a 120 mm fan strapped to it and now this case is just full. The nylon strap HD holders are awesome by the way, giving me some flexibility with HD placement so that the GTS fits without bumping or getting too close to the drives. And with everything closed up the case is quiet as can be. But, it really might just be time to look into something a little bigger. Anyone here take advantage of the B&M Fry's deal on a P18x? It was like $30! Wild.

You do realize that they're not the only company with such a program, right? ;) Just like they're not the only company with a lifetime warranty or phone support.

Sure, they're not now...but they were for a long time. It just became a habit, and they've always treated me well. I'm not suggesting anyone else should like them just because I do.

Before the step-up thing started, I bought 4 ASUS cards in a row...that's just how I roll. :laugh:
