Most Favorable Review

Works well, fits in micro-atx case great!

ASUS Radeon HD 3450 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card EAH3450/DI/256M
ASUS Radeon HD 3450 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card EAH3450/DI/256M

Pros: Card to replace ailing, fried, integrated graphics in a Antec Aria micro-atx case. Stays relatively cool w/out fan and fits into the tight case well. HDMI port.

Cons: a bit underpowered for newer games.

Most Critical Review

Faulty keyboard USB port

LINKSKEY LKV-7308 8 Port Rackmount USB + PS/2 KVM Switch
LINKSKEY LKV-7308 8 Port Rackmount USB + PS/2 KVM Switch

Pros: Reasonably priced, cabling is simple and affordable.

Cons: The original unit shipped by Newegg, I found to have a defective and dead USB keyboard input. Initially I was using the PS/2 interface and didn't notice this. I had thrown the original box and materials away so I had to contact Linkskey themselves for a replacement. The replacement I received from them also had a faulty USB port (I confirmed this by using two known good usb keyboards, resetting the unit, etc.) The port on the replacement wasn't totally dead, but worked so intermittently as to make the port unusable.

Overall Review: I'm already paying for return shipping on the original replacement and do not want to keep paying to return faulty unit after faulty unit. I have the keyboard running on the PS/2 port with an adapter, and that'll work fine for now. I am reluctant to buy another product from these folks, however.

Pros: It hasn't failed!

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I had an OCZ drive and two replacements fail before I jumped ship and bought the Crucial drive. So far, so good!

Major reliability issues

OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 115GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G
OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 115GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G

Pros: Fast when it works.

Cons: Repeated hardware failures.

Overall Review: Had this drive replaced twice. The first lasted almost a year before it failed. The replacement from OCZ lasted 4 months before failing. They then replaced this drive with a Agility 3 drive, which failed after 1-2 hours of use. I then requested a market price refund. Get your $#%% together OCZ!
