I used to use the NVIDIA drivers directly from the nvidia.com, but since I upgraded my workstation to CentOS-6.x I have been using elrepo's rpms for nvidia with no issues. I certainly know how to build things (being that I build most of the c4 and c5 updates that we release), but I love the convenience that elrepo provides. I highly recommend the elrepo site for anything that they currently maintain, they do a great job.
