ADATA 64GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-64G-RBE)

Pros: Cheap, pretty fast

Cons: Die after 5 months and not didn't even use it much. Contacted Adata for warranty 4 days and still no respond

Overall Review: ADATA isn't the most reliable brand after using other USB memory stick. or maybe is just this model, I would spend a little more money and get something more reliable

Awesome Case

Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very nice design. The wires for the fan are very well hidden. Options to have 2 fans for my 8 2TB hard drive instead of 1 that already comes with. Very easy to work with. It has all the fan I need for my server.

Cons: Very nice case for the job that I intended for. so no con. If it comes with USB 3.0 connector would be nice? but I really need it anyway.

You get what you pay for

PowerColor Radeon HD 3650 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card AX3650 1GBD2-V2
PowerColor Radeon HD 3650 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card AX3650 1GBD2-V2

Pros: Low cost Able to use for Windows Media Center Use for games are ok, not great Slim design

Cons: Only the Powercolor DVI to HDMI adapter will be able to use for DVI audio feed the screen size reduce to 15% almost on every reboot cause the black border and have to re-adjust. I connected an Onkyo receiver, if I turn off the Onkyo while the computer is on, the video card will shut off itself the next timei turn the Onkyo back on.

Overall Review: I switched to Radeon HD 4670 and the problem mentioned above no longer exist, I will not buy a lower end card for HTPC

May not work on your small form factor

PNY GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card VCG62256AEB
PNY GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card VCG62256AEB

Pros: None because is a outdated product

Cons: May not work on all small form factor because of the power consumption. Please make sure you read the spec of your power supply and motherboard output before purchasing. Watch out for overheating if you have a tiny machine.

Overall Review: I was hoping to turn my old machine to been able to play games but is not going to work with this card.
