Some of these reviews/comments on online retailers are just downright hilarious. This reminds me of the Story of PING review on amazon ;).

Pros: Great card runs so good that images are clear.

Cons: Pretty cheap and small, but it's still a slow piece.

Other Thoughts: I got this card specifically for my age old favorite cubicle game. Solitaire! Solitaire was getting to run quite baddly on my current work computer and sitting through hours of listening to wire tapped calls (I work for the government) I decided to play Solitaire, I heard about this game and that it was an electronic game meaning you played it on the computer. I couldn't find it, so I asked a co-worker of mine to tell me where to find it. He simply replied that it was a Mac and that PC's are better. I traveled down to the local computer shop and picked myself up a PC and spent the rest of the night arranging the cards by color and number. The next day I was in the break room and a few co-workers were talking about some video card like a 6600GT and that it played counterstrike1.6 so great and I felt that Solitaire was probably more of a thrilling game than counting the limit of 1.6 bowling strikes. So I got this hefty video card and love it forever!

I cant find the exact review, but I picked up an evga 7900GT not to long ago the review went something like this:

Pros: Blazing fast


Cons: It started on fire.


Needless to say I replaced the stock cooling and everything is good.

I was making some on there but some goodie two shoes on here turned me in saying it was not "proper" of me to do such things.

I like this one.

Cons: Haven't won the lottery yet, dishes in the sink, an over-used cat litter box(the cat used it, not me)...haven't seen the outside since building this system and immersing myself in gaming, been weeks now....help..me...please...

Well... I haven't found any funny ones. But I hate the ones where people review products they don't own! Like this one. Read bob saggot's review.

Yeah, those really irritate me too. I should review the 610w I linked to, since I bought it here recently. Maybe ATOT can help me write a review!

The funniest review I ever read was in PCGamer...

Pros: The uninstall worked flawlessly

Cons:no rebate coupon in the box


:D

My favorite is still the one which rated a USB/PCI card poorly because he didn't like the color of the card.

Saw this one for a lian Li case I just ordered yesterday.

link

Pros: modest but sleek exterior, lightweight but sturdy

Cons: the mobo mounts directly to the mobo tray no clips so my CPU shorted out, 120mm fan screw holes wouldn't line up with my radiator holes, scratches easily, PCI cards wouldn't fit the PCI slots adjustments had to be made

Other Thoughts: this is my second and last Lian-Li dissapointment... go with thermaltake, asus, or cooler-master
