Most Favorable Review

Read The Manual and Tweek The SETTINGS!!!

LG WiFi Built-in Blu-ray Player BD570
LG WiFi Built-in Blu-ray Player BD570

Pros: When setup correctly this player up converts dvd's better than anything else I've seen. The Manual is easy to understand and use. The apps work flawlessly. Price seems fair.

Cons: Not a single one.

Overall Review: Change the setting of the 1080P/60Hz to 1080P/24Hz and enjoy.

Most Critical Review

How Is This Combo Rated So High?

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 100 Black 102 Normal Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse
Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 100 Black 102 Normal Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse

Pros: If it has no usable Range, how can there be any Pros?

Cons: It only has a range of about 3 feet. What good is it?

Overall Review: If you need a usable Wireless Mouse and Keyboard, please look elsewhere. I'm having to.

Very Good Board Even If It Is A MATX

GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H AM3 AMD 880G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: So far this board has a lot to offer. 6.0 Gig transfer rates for SATA, USB 3.0, overclocking features, just to name a few. For a MATX this board ROCKS!!!

Cons: It's a MATX (that could be a Pro) but I new that when I bought it.

Overall Review: It is solid and somewhat versatile considering it is a MATX. Has some overclocking features but I have not taken advantage of them yet.

Almost Decent

AZiO AWD102N Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
AZiO AWD102N Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Works with windows 7 64bit?

Cons: Not sure it works with windows 7 64bit consistently even though I'm using the latest drivers plus it will not connect with any Linux install I've tried.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a versatile card that will work long range with windows and Linux, look else where.

No WinTV Software Included

Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2255 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder
Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2255 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder

Pros: Feature Rich!

Cons: The manual (if you can call it that) which is just a quick install guide pamphlet indicates that the CD includes WinTV v7 but it does not. Window Media Center does not take full advantage of this cards ability and I wanted to use the WinTV to see all the functions but you have to pay an extra $10 for that so that costs an egg.

Overall Review: Upon researching I ran across SageTV but it too will cost to access the full functionality of this card. Too bad Hauppauge was too cheap to include the software with the device.
