Default PNY Cards

How's PNY as a brand? Reliable? I know how you feel about eVGA so don't tell me to buy one.

i have a PNY USB stick, and it seems to work great, good quality, and the cheapest one at Best Buy...

The GFX cards should be good as well, they have good reviews.

I had a PNY 6600GT and it was pretty nice. Easy setup and such.

My brother had a PNY 6600GT and it died on him before a month, RMAed it and the next one had to underclock because would artifact at stock settings.

could've been a manufacturing defect.

Every other PNY thing works great...

I just don't trust a company that had two bad cards back to back to the same customer, I would go with EVGA for sure.
