Not bad

LINKSKEY LDV-DM702AUSK Dual Monitor (DVI+DVI) 7.1 Surround Sound KVM Switch w/ Cables
LINKSKEY LDV-DM702AUSK Dual Monitor (DVI+DVI) 7.1 Surround Sound KVM Switch w/ Cables

Pros: Does almost every thing it should do.No problems with USB hub.It worked fine with my logitech G5 mouse but you have to plug it in to the councle USB device port not the mouse port other wise you loose driver support.So it you have a G5 mouse and a G15 keyboard both may not work.

Cons: 7.1 audio was a big problem.I have a pair of zalman 5.1 surround head phones & a creative XFi fatality sound card that i tried on this. It always had back ground noise,hum,hiss you could hear the hard drives running.When i plugged the head phones directly in to the pc all noise went away. I thought it was defective so i sent it back to newegg for a replacement but the replacement did the same thing.

OK

Not good

SYBA SY-PEX24003 Network Card 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45
SYBA SY-PEX24003 Network Card 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45

Pros: When it works it works great.

Cons: It died about a year after i purchased it. I tossed it in a draw and forgot about it for about a year and a half. I found it last week and checked the warranty on it and found SYBA had a 3 year warranty. Went to the website and filled out the RMA form.Got a reply the next day with an RMA number and a address to ship it back. 1 and 1/2 weeks later i received a new one in the mail.

Overall Review: Would i buy another NO.

WORKS

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GV-R587OC-1GD

Pros: Quiet. Overclocks well.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This is my 2nd card the first one i had to RMA because it would crash my system at stock speeds but would run fine under clocked.

Yuck

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GV-R587OC-1GD

Pros: Vary quiet evin at 100% fan speed. My 2 4870s a 100% sounded like a jet. but this card was vary quiet.

Cons: Froze up 3 out of 5 time i tried to run 3DMark Vantage or 3DMark06. I under clocked it to 850MHz it ran fine. Could not run auto tune with out it freezing up. Running at the stock OC 870MHz BFBC2 Vietnam would freeze but once again at 850MHz core clock it would not.

Overall Review: Sending it back for a 6870 too bad because i got it for $269 with a $20 rebate and a seagate 1 TB hard drive for free. I have to send the hard drive back to get another card.
