Pros: Small, very low power needs, cool. Many apps work perfectly. A few do not.

Cons: Newegg apparently removed the USB calbe that was included in direct orders. Easily replaced however.

Overall Review: There are plenty of inexpensive options for making a case; mine cost $12. This is my new HTPC and it's doing all I need it to do - for under $99 total including shipping.

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install.

Cons: Unable to read SD cards larger than 2GB

Overall Review: I bought this reader primarily as an SD card interface. I was disappointed to find that it cannot recognize Kingston SCHC cards larger than 2GB in size. I will be replacing it in the near future for this reason - with one that definitely guarantees to read up to at least 64GB.

Pros: Has all the right connectors, includes the low-profile bracket I need for my HTPC

Cons: I have spent all day every day since this card arrived attempting to get it to work. As long as no drivers are installed, it's fine - 800x600 32-bit color. Unfortunately I wanted to use the HDMI output with my widescreen TV, and no matter what drivers I've tried, I can't get either XP Pro or Windows 7 to boot to the desktop once the drivers are installed. XP goes to the "black screen of death" and Win 7 simply won't load the driver.

Overall Review: This is the first time I've ever had a problem with a product from Newegg. I blame Asus and ATI for this one.
