Pros: Excellent quality card. Went from slightly jerky framerates and sometimes missing background textures (solid gray areas instead of tiles, pavement, etc...) playing Titan Quest with a Leadtek Winfast GF 6800 AGP card at 848x480 resolution to perfect, smooth playback. Runs cool and steady, 45-46C at idle, 47C under load after 1.5 hrs gaming - my old 6800 ran 61C playing the same game. Also, this has a noticeably sharper, crisper and better display than the 6800, especially playing DVD's with Theatertek (nVidia PureVideo decoders). Quiet enough to use with an HTPC - quieter than my old 6800 or Radeon 8500. Included gamepad controller is nice, too.

Cons: CAUTION - REBATE PERIOD ONLY 20 DAYS. I ordered this card to use with my new ASRock 775 Dual VSTA motherboard that I bought open box here, but the MB turned out to be defective (not all Newegg open box items will work - rate I've seen quoted online is 85% good, 15% DOA). By the time I got a replacement PCI-E motherboard to test this out on, slightly over three weeks had passed and when I looked at the rebate instructions, I saw that they require the rebate submission to be post-marked within 20 days of purchase, not the usual 30 days that most other companies require with their rebates, hence minus one egg in rating. For 115 bucks without rebate instead of 79AR, I'd have bought an XFX or BFG 7600GT instead to get a slightly faster factory overclocked card with a better (lifetime) warranty. Also, as others posted, rebate process designed to deny rebates on insignificant technicalities.

Overall Review: Those people boasting about buying two cards to connect them in an SLI rig are complete dopes. Unless you are talking about the very fastest cutting edge 8800 (or whatever else is the then currently fastest card on the market) and care only about getting the absolutely fastest possible graphics, cost no object, it makes no sense from a financial perspective to run a pair of cards in SLI or Crossfire. For the price of two of any card (often less than that even), you can buy a single better card that is faster than the pair of cheaper ones run in tandem. SLI and Crossfire are essentially a gimmick unless you are buying two of today's ultimate card (and then spending too much money anyway).

Pros: Extremely compact, nicely organized camera (buttons and menus both easy to use). Exceptionally quick flash recharge times (maybe fastest on the market). Extremely powerful flash (good out to 20+ feet) for a compact camera, puts most P&S digital cameras' flashes to shame. Pretty good macro mode and 30fps VGA video mode. Accurate colors.

Cons: Image quality. Extremely noisy, grainy photos even at lowest ISO settings. You rally can't blow most photos, except maybe some taken outdoors in ideal conditions, up beyond 4"x6" or you will see upsetting amounts of noise everywhere. My 2004 5mp Pentax Optio 555 takes much sharper and all-around superior photos than this 8mp camera. Poor accessory package - no battery charger (charge from USB cable), no video cable - to show photos/video on TV, either download and burn to disk or buy $100 docking station. Minimal settings - very basic P&S.

Overall Review: I bought an M753 (identical camera but with 7mp instead of 8mp) and returned it within a few weeks. My wife wanted to replace the M753 with something similar, so she convinced me to get her a Kodak M883, which is a very similar 8mp camera but has a metal body, slightly different exterior controls and has a wider range of features for adjusting image quality, such as a bulb setting for slow shutter speed, more scene modes, etc.... The bottom line is that Kodak makes very poor compact digital cameras and you should look for one by Casio instead, or, if you don't mind horribly slow flash recharge times plus giant file sizes for videos, buy a Canon instead. My 2mp Canon A20, bought in 2001, takes sharper, better pictures than these 7-8mp Kodaks.

Pros: Best looking case on the market. Can hold many hard drives. Imon software can give you MCE functionality even though you're running a basic home version of Windows. Imon remote is nice looking, has mouse functionality. Takes an ATX MB.

Cons: Does not fit LG HD-DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive - the open button does not align properly and the drive is nearly impossible to install so that the drawer does not stick or get blocked on the edge of the facia instead of pushing the faceplate slot out. The VFD digital display has very squirrely connections and can disconnect if you aren't very careful installing the optical drive above it. Imon remote does not control all functions. Won't take a gaming-sized video card - a Radeon 4650/4670 is as powerful of a card as you can install in this case until they come out with a more powerful replacement for it.

Overall Review: Chip above does not actually own one of these cases and is lying about it. My LG combo drive does not fit in the case properly and it is not a question of installation error but rather design of the case. I can just barely fit a PowerColor Radeon HD 4650 fanless video card into the case - there is no way on earth that he has a 4870 in this case. In my gaming/HTPC rig I have a 4850, which is 2" longer than my 4650 and it is too long by about 1.5" to fit in this Silverstone case. Overally, the functionality of this case is a big letdown, given how sharp it is and how

Pros: Very sharp video resolution (true 1.3mp video resolution, not 1.3 interpolated or still photo resolution like most similarly priced webcams), easy to use, decent microphone. Included software isn't filled with bloatware like with Microsoft's webcams and has a few fun features like altered color or distorted images.

Cons: Microphone isn't as sensitive as that of the similarly priced Microsoft VX5000; default setting on the low light setting results in very blurred motion video

Overall Review: Originally I was going to return this because of the blurry motion video with very slow frame rates, but by going into the utilities program and shutting off the low light setting, it suddenly gave me smooth video at very good resolution. Aside from the microphone sensitivity, this is a vastly superior webcam to the popular Microsoft VX3000 and VX5000 models. Note, though, that the microphone does work just fine. This is probably one of, if not the best, under-$50 webcam on the market

Pros: Print quality is good, toner refills can be had cheap (about the cost of a case of decent beer for a 2-pack refill) via the big online auction site, although you'll need to buy a part - a flag gear - to use to refill the starter toner cartridge that comes with the printer. Pretty quick sheet feeder. Copy function works well, better than my old HP inkjet AIO.

Cons: Horrible at handling envelopes - the guides don't hold them in place very well and unless you carefully manually guide it into the manual feed slot, you'll end up with a crooked address and a return address that is so crooked, part of it will be cut off the edge of your envelope. My unit has started malfunctioning, with "Paper jam" messages popping up every other time I try to print, when there is no paper jam at all. Front cover won't close all of the way - it's 5mm ajar on one side and won't snap all of the way closed. Mine has also started having problems where it simply won't print until I cancel all documents in the print queue, shut the machine off and then turn it back on.

Overall Review: It's really economical, but considering the headaches I've had with mine, I'm kind of regretting buying this. I'd go with a different brand unless you only use it occasionally and won't use it to print envelopes.

Pros: If you get installed correctly, it can do a much more effective job of cooling than stock Intel coolers and is quieter as well.

Cons: Pushpin fasteners. If they are not working properly, can be horribly frustrating and can waste much more time than having to pull the motherboard to attach a threaded back plate and use screws to bolt down the cooler. Additionally, Arctic Cooling uses cheap quality pushpins that can break easily or split and not go into holes. The installation instructions are also lacking. If you have a problem, good luck on getting AC's customer support to help you - it appears that they are based in Switzerland (where the company is headquartered) and if they do respond to a customer's inquiries, it will be dismissive, not helpful.

Overall Review: Avoid Arctic Cooling products - their customer service is atrocious. Two of my pushpin fasteners broke and when I contacted their CS dept., they told me I should either contact the dealer from whom I bought the cooler for replacements or pull the pushpins off my stock Intel cooler and use those. I should not have to cannibalize (and thus render inoperable) my other equipment to cure AC's faulty parts; additionally, how do they know if a customer even owns a stock Intel cooler? Many CPU’s these days are sold OEM, without a cooler. The dealer (not Newegg, unfortunately) had no replacement pushpins so I e-mailed AC again and asked for replacements. No response. In fact, no response to 3 more e-mails. AC will not support their products and their warranty is a sham. Do not do business with this company. I’d go with an OCZ cooler – the Vendetta and Vanquisher are very similar to the Freezer 7 Pro, have better quality pushpins and better customer service.
