Good Bang for the Buck
Pros: Only paid $40 for the card. The card can play newer titles at lower resoulutions. Suprising how this card can probably pretty much play anything that comes out. Why pay big money for higher end cards just to play at 70+ fps and have higher electric bill. PC games seem to be made for consoles now a days anyway.
Cons: The fan is a little loud. Makes a whining noise. Can hear it through my case. Is a little annoying. Knock 1 egg off for that.
Overall Review: I've been PC gaming for years, and I've had all kinds of cards 48xx etc. Had xfire,SLI, and unless you have a big monitor. I have a LCD TV native 1360x768, having a higher end card plus needing bigger power supply just isn't worth it to me anymore, using emachine 350 psu with E2140, 2-optical drives and 1-HDD.
In-Expensive
Pros: It works and in-expensive.
Cons: The quality feels a little flemsy, but you get what you pay for.
Overall Review: Needed a second hdmi cable for my console. Didn't want to break the bank for one.
SICK
Pros: Wow, I did not know investing back into a hardware nic would be the best thing to help my wireless internet connection. I was using different usb adapters, and they work but signals would constantly drop, and I would frequently have spotty connections with my devices. Purchasing this is a life saver. My wireless connections are much stronger. I was able to use a wireless device that had me stumped for a while. If you have a desktop and should get out of using usb adapters this card is to get. Invest in this product.
Cons: I like using all three of the antenna's, but they stick out none the less, so awareness you could cause damage to your system if they were hit, knock on...... Also the placement of where you would insert the card. With the antenna's it could bump into the monitor cables, usb etc....
Overall Review: The card does look sweet with the black heat sink.
PERSPECTIVE
Pros: 2GB RAM, 25W TDP, 384 CUDA CORES,SILENT. This card is an excellent value if you know what your looking for. This card is a steal actually. If you do your research this card has 384/32/8 configuration. This does help with performance. Also with just 25w tdp this can be used as an excellent Physx add on card.
Cons: The memory bandwith is very limited, but some things are sacrificed to get a card with performance with only 25w tdp.
Overall Review: I use this video card with a 32" LCD TV with a native resolution of 1360x768. The native resolution doesn't tax the video card and the only sacrifice really in games is anti-aliasing because of the memory bandwith limitation. When playing games you will never notice the difference between 8x pci-e vs 16x pci-e. Anyone concerned about that shouldn't be looking for a card like this.
Can't Complain
Pros: Inexpensive, Zune player, simple interface,slide out qwerty keyboard. The phone is solidly built. It is much smaller than what I anticipated.
Cons: A little on the heavy side. I knew it would be heavy but not this heavy it does have some weight. Also I am not a big fan of on screen keyboards especially with a screen this small. Couldn't get the phone to update to the 7.8 release which is mostly cosmetic, but maybe something will happen down the road.
Overall Review: I wanted a windows phone since I'm mostly in the windows ecosystem. Can't really go wrong with a 1st gen product for this price. Win Ph 8 doesn't seem to have too much more than the current Win Ph 7. I didn't want to re-up w/my current carrier for a smart phone just for win ph 8 when I can go the pre-paid route pay half of what I would pay monthly on a contract and in a few years see where windows phone ecosystem is at.
My Bad
Pros: Got it for $60,NewEgg Rocks!
Cons: Tried to install this on a bad hd didn't realize that, so I can't knock the product. It did install flawlessly on two other pc's I have. A laptop and a regular desktop. I am not a big fan of the start button anyway so I don't really get the complaints.
Overall Review: I don't really get the tile Metro interface. If you use the Netflix app you can't use Netflix in your browser from the desktop. I keep getting a drm issue. I kind of feel like this it two os's in one but designed for touch screens. If you want apps then go for it, but if your looking for the normal desktop experience stick with Windows 7.
