Pros: Very easy to use. I was very skeptical about buying this from reading only 4 reviews but now I'm looking to change all my security systems to this DVR card. The TV Out option is better than most other cards (GeoVision) and to display on the internet is easier than the GeoVision (you only need to open one port on the router so you can view the video remotely (as opposed to many ports on the GeoVision).
Cons: When extracting video to save on a CD or DVD, it takes a while to convert it to mpeg format. I have a pretty good setup Q6600 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM but it still takes like 10- 15 minutes to convert a file that's about 4 minutes. But its not bad enough to drop a star. I've worked a few other standalone DVR systems that although they export the file fast, they do it in a format that is very difficult to convert
Overall Review: Who wants to buy my old standalone DVRs?
Pros: Bought this based on other reviews and the layout of the board. Foxconn makes all the insides for other companies (Dell etc.) They should be able to make a good board themselves.
Cons: None whatsoever
Overall Review: Overclocks pretty well and easily. I have this running a DVR based security system 24/7 and its very stable on a Q6600 chip with dual EVGA GTS 8600 Vid cards, and 2 x 1 TB hard drives and a 80gb hard drive for OS and proggies. Runs great. I would highly recommend to others. Beats my ASUS and is just as good as my other EVGA 780
Pros: Best bang for your buck when it comes to Intel Processors.
Cons: OEM version runs alot hotter (G0 Stepping) than the Retail version
Overall Review: I thought I'd save myself $5 and get the OEM since I will be getting an aftermarket heatsink. It also looked like I got a hotter chip. I own a Q6600 OEM and retail and I can tell there is a huge difference in temps. The retail I own is at a 33% overclock (3.2ghz) on air and is WAY cooler than the OEM at stock speeds! Spend the $5 and get retail and throw away the Intel Heatsink and know that you've received a cooler chip.
Pros: Really big. Very clear and bright. but not too bright. This is my second one in about two months (just got one for my office at work). I love it
Cons: The first one came with a lazy pixel (dies during dark colors shown on screen)
Overall Review: Thank God I got this before Stinky Newegg started collecting sales tax for its NY customers. Newegg sucks. Yeah you heard me. They've lost me as a customer because of this tax fiasco
Pros: Its an original battery from Canon. It works like original batteries from Canon (which is to say, great.
Cons: Wish it was cheaper. But quality costs money
Overall Review: I've only seen one time in my life where an aftermarket battery was better than the original. It was when I bought my Panasonic video camera (GV-650). Newegg sold a great aftermarket battery that had rave reviews and was cheaper than the OEM. Now if that company could keep up the good work with other brands... give these OEM batteries a run for their money .. the world would be a better place
Pros: Originally bought one for myself and worked great. No just bought one for my friend who I setup a router for him at his house. From the router in the basement ot the second floor,.... no problems. full strength. (They are directly above each other though
Cons: Im not a big fan of the software that comes with it. I'd rather let windows do its own wireless search. But its not bad at all. Just another thing to startup when Windows starts up
Overall Review: Would recommend to those looking to make their desktops wireless.
