Cooler than stock Intel
Pros: CPU temperature is lower than the stock cooler. My BOINC configuration uses the processor 100% of the time, and the Intel fan was always noisy. This cooler keeps the CPU at a lower temperature than the stock Intel cooler without the fan noise
Cons: Tight fit with first PCI-E card. I bent the fins a little to give plenty of clearance from the first PCI-E card. A piece of plastic would also have worked, but there was no clearance when installed.
Nice hub
Pros: I like the size and shape
Cons: No AC adapter was included
Overall Review: Works great without an external AC adapter
Cool card
Pros: Low power consumption and low heat
Cons: No cons
As advertised
Pros: Fit my WD green hard disk and temperature is only slightly above the other disk that is not in the cooler
Cons: Wanted extra mounting holes so device did not stick out front of machine.
Bonus card reader
Pros: No problems with my Canon T1i camera. Reader is small and convenient.
Cons: None
Good Product
Pros: Sensitive tuner for antenna connection, remote control works with Vista media center. I can find my recorded programs using the remote control and Vista media center
Cons: The hardware is fine, I think Vista is sluggish responding to remote commands.
Overall Review: The tuner and the remote work fine, but controlling Vista media center with the remote can be frustrating. The computer takes a long time to respond to commands from the remote, so I press the button several times, and overshoot the command.
