Nice card

Pros: Cost/storage ratio, Its fast enough does everyhing I need it too. Using using it for /swap, /tmp, /usr, /home, have enough space for my music pics and a few short videos ; with enough room to spare for a 700 meg fat 32 turnstyle to get stuff on and off my windows machines.
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: My Mandriva 09 doesn't actually ever need to swap to it except maybe at boot up, so I'm really not worried about cooking it off. under 14 bucks and free shipping at the time w quick service as always
Headers not long enough

Pros: Floppy + Card reader
Cons: USB headers would be hard pressed to reaach in a Matx case Doesn't reach in my ATX
Free

Pros: It was free with motherboard on Friday got here today Tues. More than enough power for me, running Ubuntu 10.04 with a LAMP STACK for my own learning purposes. Boots in less than 15 seconds using CAS 5 ram 2/1 GB sticks. Stock heatsink is tiny yet still idles around 22C. Stock heatsink about 3.5 cm or less tall. Idles at 4-5 % in Ubuntu before trimming stuff out
Cons: None at this price I mean it's definitely not a Xeon and never will be but was never meant to be. Didn't come free with a better Motherboard.
Overall Review: Retail price of $32.99 when I checked out I was refunded $33 even so I actually made a Penny on this processor. While yeah the motherboard it came free with isn't great it is more than adequete.
Great Value

Pros: $35 with free shipping, cable management, 3 optical bays, 2: 3 1/2, 5 HDD, front mesh with foam behind it for filtering, four front pannel usb, esata, red hdd activity light is just right, 3 and a half bays are close enough to the headers to fit most card readers, the front pannel wires are rather long but when put through the back or the panel are just right for my board. there really is nothing wrong with this case, it is nice and light. PCI vent is pluged up and you have to open it to use it. nice and quiet, 3 pin fans for the included, tool less OR screws i did both well at least one screw just in case.
Cons: Front pannel slugs came half in half out but no damage, blue sun of an led power light. The metal thickness is a lil thin. with the cables through the back it took some doing getting the case back on. open fan holes on the side front fan is led, I could have used standard
Overall Review: Hard to argue at this price its great I'd have paid double I did pay double this for a pigswill case and wasn't nearly as happy with it the only thing that case had on this one is I could have used that one for a jackstand and may still do so
Decent Game; but......

Pros: Great vast detailed game world. Way to go Ascaron
Cons: Horrible support from CDV no way of getting you online account back if you forget or loose your info. Patch 2.43 doesn't work and crashes the game. No phone number to call listed anywhere. Everything from registering your online account to applying for a support ticket from CDV requires an email address which is weird seeing they apparantly don't have an access server or don't know how to set the thing up to send you your passwords. Have had my support ticket sitting in que for over a week now.
Whiskey Tango Fox Over

Pros: It works; not as advertisedthough, and it comes with a flash drive.
Cons: Been three months where is my rebate at? Won't run at rated speed.
Overall Review: Flash drive is pretty Quick but I wouldn't get this product on those grounds nor would I get on the grounds of the rebate as there is aparently none
