Pros: This Modem DOES WORK with Comcast. I was using an old SB4100 modem with 4.5mb/s connection. Now I am getting 6.5mb/s. The price I got it for was much better than renting the modem. It will be paid off in six months. YES!! Should have done this years ago.

Cons: I have not had it up and running for that long.....so I hope everything works out.

Great Replacement

VIZO VIZO-NBC-101-ALM Aluminum Sleet Chipset Cooler
VIZO VIZO-NBC-101-ALM Aluminum Sleet Chipset Cooler

Pros: This was a perfect match for my aging MSI K8N Neo2-F 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra ATX AMD. If you are careful you do not need to remove your motherboard from the case. Just use cutters to remove your existing pongo clips holding your existing fan. Install new fan. Easy. It is not quite as noisy as the OEM fan, but not "silent" like the fan is described.

Cons: The first time I booted up my system after install the fan would not move and it was making a loud buzzing noise. After I flicked the fan blades it started up and runs just fine. I need to do this each time I boot up. I am trying to get a replacement from VIZO, but who knows.

Overall Review: It is cheap. Does the job when you have an AGP card over the fan. there are many posts here where others have the same problem....it failing. If you get a good one...great, but if you get a bad one...you take a risk.

Worth the money.

Polk Audio CS1 Black Center Channel Loudspeaker Single
Polk Audio CS1 Black Center Channel Loudspeaker Single

Pros: The special blowout price for this center channel makes the CS1 such an awesome deal. I was shocked how spacious movies sounded by adding a center channel (already have the two mains and two surrounds). Enjoy it for the price.

Cons: I cannot complain about much for the price. Polk is a decent mainstream brand, but not high end. The plastic on the front and the wood enclosure is a bit cheap, but it depends what you want out of a system.

Overall Review: I do not know why everyone is so shocked at how supposedly "large" this speaker is. The dimensions are listed on newegg. For any decent sounding system the speaker enclosures need to be somewhat large. And the CS1 is a rather smaller center speaker compared to others. It only has (2) 5.25" woofers and a tweeter. Brands are coming out with small speakers, but they sound terrible...no low end.

Great Speaker Set

Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System
Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System

Pros: 1) Great looking set up. 2) great highs and mids.

Cons: 1) The Controller Pod is larger than I expected. I guess that this is okay since it looks pretty sharp. 2) There is a slight buzzing noise coming from the sub. It is drowned out by the sound of my computer, but I can hear it if my computer if off. 3) Sub is a little mushy.

Overall Review: The best speaker set up for the price. You get what you pay for.
