Five Green Bars!

Rosewill N300 Wireless PCI Express Adapter, 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) PCIe Wi-Fi Network Card for PC
Rosewill N300 Wireless PCI Express Adapter, 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) PCIe Wi-Fi Network Card for PC

Pros: Great signal strength, I have five bars signal strength for the first time. This wireless receiver is better than any other I have tried in terms of signal strength.

Cons: None really, you abviously have to have a free/compatible slot and the antenna need space. Can't comment on reliability yet since I recently installed it.

Overall Review: Installed easily once I ran the driver install on the included disc...no problems at all.

Pros: Easy installation, easy driver update from Ndidia

Cons: The fit in the back panel was a little odd, the metal plate seemed a lttle too long... but all worked fine

Overall Review: Refurb was cost effective (<50$)

Solid Board

BIOSTAR G31E-M7 LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
BIOSTAR G31E-M7 LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Good performance, installed easily, convenient updates, no problems at all. Displays critical info such as temperatures at boot-up.

Cons: Nothing negative about the board but a couple notes-- the BIOS doesn't say anything about detecting dual channel memory and I had trouble getting the system to recognize my son'd sansa fuze MP3 player- which turned out to be Microsoft updates were required...

Overall Review: Solid board, easy to install
