Amazing Tuner

Ceton InfiniTV 6 PCIe - 5205-DCT06IN-PCIE - Six-tuner Card for Watching Digital Cable TV on the PC, PCI-Express x1 Interface

Pros: This thing is amazing. My goal with this tuner was to enable all the TV's in my house to share a single "DVR" which was my Windows Media Center PC. I then placed an Xbox 360 on each of my 3 TV's to act as media center extenders. To that end, this thing has worked amazingly well. We've had zero issues with recording and watching live TV on all of the Xbox 360 consoles I have in my home, all at the same time. I hightly recommend this product.

Cons: None. Seriously. This thing is perfect. Worked right out of the box. No isses.

Overall Review: Well worth the $300. I'm using this on Charter's cable system in St. Louis, MO. It works perfectly.

Windows 7 Tested and Working

Pros: I actually have Windows 7 final (because I'm a microsoft partner) and I just wanted to say that this card works flawlessly with Windows 7 64-bit. I installed the card and booted up my PC. Windows 7 detected and installed the driver instantly. Great card!

Cons: None

Awesome Board, Super Easy Setup

Pros: I have to say this board construction quality and easy of configuration are amazing. The BIOS is incredibly easy for overclockers, and I've had zero issues with any of my hardware. I plugged everything in and it worked from the first power-up with zero issues. I have my I7 920 OC'ed to 3.6 GHz without any trouble.

Cons: If I had to gripe about anything, I don't really like the sideways SATA ports. Also, no eSATA on the back makes me a sad panda.

Amazing Quality

Pros: Picture is clearer than any LCD I've seen. The non-native resolution scaling is 100% spectacular. I've never seen an LCD scale down so well. This thing is super bright (which I love) and ultra crisp. The USB hub built into the stand works perfectly. Definately worth the money!

Cons: Speakers don't sound very great, but hey, I bought this thing for the monitor, not the sound :P

Overall Review: A lot of games still don't support wide-screen LCD's. You might want to really think about whether it's worth it to you.

Simply amazing

EVGA GeForce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N527-AX

Pros: This card is simply amazing. I just bought 2 of them for my SLI setup. With 2 of these cards, I run every game with 1680 x 1050 resolution, max settings, max AA, max anisotropic, and I still get well over 60 fps. WoW, F.E.A.R., BFME2, Serious Sam 2, Battlefield 2 -- this list goes on. Amazing card!

Cons: Non whatsoever.

Overall Review: This card is HUGE! Make sure you've got space in the case before you buy it. Two of these leaves very little room left in my thermaltake soprano 2.
