Pros: I've had two of these drives and they consistently achieve 110mb/s read and write speeds. One is over a year old, just bought a second. Love these little HDDs.

Cons: None that I can see.

Pros: Great price/performance ratio. Can easily run most games with vsync on and have them look like butter on the screen.

Cons: I could only get 20 minutes into any given game before a BSOD. I have an 80% efficient 500w PSU, Q9300, 4gb RAM, a few fans, and the MAX power this could have drawn was 400w at the most considering my system, so that wasn't the problem. It ran perfect with Vista Ultimate and my 8600GT for months without a single freeze up or BSOD... until I installed this card. Constant system lock ups, driver mis-installs were rampant, the catalyst control wouldn't install. I had to do first the driver, then the control center to make it happy. After a reboot, I had an idle desktop and the machine would lock up. So I reinstalled Vista completely and did a fresh install. Now all the lockups are gone, but are now replaced with BSODs. Playing a game, BSOD. Watch a blu-ray, BSOD. Shut down the system, BSOD. I'm currently RMAing this card, and I have moved back to my stable 8600GT, and no problems at all. Stable as it always was.

Overall Review: This card could be great if it just worked. I've read a load of information on the internet about the specific BSOD error, and the file is atinavrr.sys, which is my ATI Theater Pro 650 and functions perfectly under my previous video card, but for some reason the introduction of this video card caused some kind of system-destroying conflict. As I said, I replaced the Nvidia, and everything was happy again.

Pros: Versatile compact camera, offers many manual features of an SLR in compact form.

Cons: Image sensor is 1/1.7", or roughly 7.6 x 5.5mm = 38.16 mm of sensor space. Typical APS-C sensor (found on DSLRs) is around 24 x 16mm = 384 mm of space, able to capture roughly 10x the detail. The tiny sensor just can't compete with an entry level SLR at the same price.

Overall Review: This camera uses the same sensor as the SD990 ($100 less), and the same type of optics as their other compacts, resulting in the same image quality. Canon, please create a compact camera with a large sensor (like the Sigma DP1)!

Pros: With Vista MCE, it was a clean and quick install. Vista MCE recognized the card, scanned channels, and downloaded my local program guide. Slick! I've already set many TV recordings, and the interface rivals TiVo. Good quality picture, and QAM comes through nicely with their included software (QAM support does not exist in Vista MCE yet for some reason...)

Cons: Their software package isn't very good. Non-intuitive channel browsing - slow. I don't use it, because Vista MCE does it WORLDS better. Also, I haven't gotten the IR remote to work yet (and it doesn't work with MCE, so I'm probably not going to bother).

Overall Review: Other reviews have stated that the SD quality is terrible - I'd wager that they'd never seen SD on an LCD before, because I get identical SD quality on my 37" LCD HDTV through my comcast box as I do with this card. It is not the card, it's the fact that SD is just bad looking, IMO.

Pros: Tons of great features, and I would imagine that they all work if they just had drivers that weren't garbage.

Cons: Drivers are garbage - but more of a reflection of Vista

Overall Review: This experience has driven me to buy a Mac Mini as my HTPC. At least I know that a mac'll work.

Pros: Loads of potential. With the right ram and CPU (2GB, 4000+ X2) you get a 1080p media center. Can do wonders.

Cons: HDMI Audio output is a driver nightmare. Does not function in XP, and is very unstable in Vista. DVD's DTS and Dolby Digital do not work.

Overall Review: This is a great board if Biostar could just get the drivers working.
