Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250(WinTV-HVR-2255) Media Center Kit Dual TV Tuner w/ IR Remote PCI-E x 1

Pros: Simple to set up using included software.If using with Media center- install the card after computer has been run and internet is connected. This will automatically download drivers fom Microsluff.Then install software included or from Hauppage. This new software will allow 2 video windows or picture in picture (PERFECT} FM card works perfecty.

Cons: Asolutly none!!

Overall Review: Using the TV EXTEND that is available-Can stream HI-DEF on my home network {wired} Ihave two of these cards from Newegg and 1 Purchased from Hauppage. Tried over 30 devices from other companys ofer 6 years and this is THE BEST!

Surprisingly Nice Case

ROSEWILL Dual-Fan Mini Tower Computer Case - FBM-05
ROSEWILL Dual-Fan Mini Tower Computer Case - FBM-05

Pros: For a Micro or mini unit it works very well. Fan is not too loud.

Cons: A few problems- see comments below.

Overall Review: Would have worked right if I had payed closer attention. The motherboard standoffs were all not threaded appropriately. I tried to screw in the first motherboard screw with what I thought was the best fit out of 3 sizes of screws that were supplied.It seized and when I tried to back off the screw it rotated against the motherboard causing it to wear off the coating which eventually shorted out an destroyed the motherboard(my bad). Come to find out all the standoffs supplied were shallow threaded. I threw the standoffs away and used extras I have collected over the years. I put insulated washers above and below the effected hole but was too late. The damage had all ready been done.From now on I will always test the screw compatibility by hand tightening before I mount a board.

Great Deal

HP DC7900 Small Form Factor Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, DVDROM, Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

Pros: Specs are great for a machine of this cost.Couldn't even tell if it was a Refurb. I think some of them are just factory overruns. absolutly NO JUNKWARE installed Only about 45 updates to get. Was updated this year in March.

Cons: A little bit of work to upgrade to SSD. (see other thoughts)

Overall Review: Recieved one 2 years ago-still running well. recieved one today and orderd 6 more. The one I got today I logged on to windows and activated it. It even had drivers for my wireless card. I the rebooted and went into the Bios to find the Sata was set at IDE. so changed it to ACHI and of course when I rebooted it ran System Repair and it could not repair. It asked to send results to Microsoft which I did then popped up a screen with choices. I chose Install Windows from existing windows files. After that it installed windows and created an old windows folder in my C drive. Then I did system cleanup and deleted the old Windows folder and files. Now I am good to go and clone an SSD with the licenced windows installation in ACHI mode.

Best one out so far

Pros: Great burner and player.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Have purchased 6 of these drives and all are winners. Had 2 LG blueray drives and 2 lighton drives and all eventually gave out even with updated firmware.Used several brands of discs and good luck with all but mostly use Optical Quantum 4 and 6 by.To the person that said older people would have problems ripping and burning Frozen-I have done it very easy and I am 72 years old.

Super Speed Startup

Gateway Laptop Intel Core i3-3110M 6GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit NV76R45u

Pros: Just shows Gateway Logo for a split second then starting windows screen very short time then a glimpse of the welcome screen-BOOM your in and the lan is connected instantly.Never seen this before .NOT WINDOWS 8 that was designed for Tablets.

Cons: White color-my hands are usually dirty.

Overall Review: Recieved this and did not start up till I removed the hard drive and Wrote a full image to file on another computer using Acronis Home which I bought here at The Egg. I then wrote that image to a new ssd from The Egg.Put the ssd in the laptop and started it up. Did not use it at all till after i wrote 3 dvds from the recovery software on the laptop (just in case). Then removed all the trial ware and pre-installed junk sofware.Simply put-IT FLIES! Will buy another one soon.

Real Bad Luck

Ordered 7 units of usb 3.0 cards to start with for some refurbished pcs that I bought on on Newegg. Never had a chance to install till today and all driver discs were corrupted. So I went to Orico and downloaded drivers and when i tried to install I got a no hardware detected notice. So am stuck with the 7 no-good cards. What makes it worse is yesterday I ordered 2 more.MONEY GONE!!
