Pros: Plugged it in and turned it on, Presto. Crisp, clean and brilliant rendering even to these 55 year old tri-focaled orbs. Compared tp the old 17" I was usin, it's like moving from NYC to Wyoming. A lot of real estate.

Cons: Nary a one

Overall Review: Shopped long and wide before I committed to buy this monitor. No one could touch Newegg's prices. I only hope this thing lives longer than either one of 2 LG cell phones I've owned (2days/7months, respectively).

Pros: I (still) haven't completed this build yet, so I withold commenting on performance until later. At the present time, this is relative to ECS' rebate. Note that I rated myself as "average". This, too, is relative to the rebate. Send the required items, get a rebate check.

Cons: If you actually expect to receive our rebate from ECS, do yourself a favor and don't hold your breath. I bought the board on 2/28 along w/ an EVGA graphics board, which also had a rebate offered. Mailed all the rebate stuff at the same time. EVGA rebate came weeks ago but I have seen and heard nothing from ECS.

Overall Review: Like most people, I didn't choose this board based upon its rebate, I chose the board 'cause it seems to be what I need. The rebate was a welcomed bonus that, thus far, is a promise not kept. By the time I fire the new machine up and have had time to evaluate it, maybe the rebate status will have changed and the board will prove sufficient. More on both subjects in the (near?) future.

Pros: Exactly what I needed, exactly as advertised.

Cons: None that I have noticed.

Overall Review: These connectors are well made and, if it matters, look good. Opposing set screws to secure your wire which, once tightened and the cover is installed, simply cannot come loose.

Pros: decent gain

Cons: Price

Overall Review: The price of this item, through newegg is more than 200% what I have seen elsewhere. Only a fool would pay $57 for a $23 item.

Pros: None that I have found. Probably not even a good boat anchor.

Cons: Never-ending "Ink System Failure" errors (0xc0000135 & 0xc19a0036). A printer that has produced 40 actual prints now requires a printer head replacement? Customer support is useless. Downloaded latest drivers. Result: Blue Screen of Death. Purchased new driver disc from HP. Result: Blue Screen of Death.

Overall Review: HP warranty validation did not work any of the half dozen times I tried to use it. Without warranty validation, you cannot get a human to talk to you. Now that the warranty has expired, these clowns want me to pay them more money to rectify the problems. It ain't gonna happen. I will never buy another product that bears the HP logo.

Pros: A nifty idea for someone who regularly uses more than one computer and has an USB device that gets swapped back and forth.

Cons: I called Kensington to specifically ask if this switch will work with an External Hard Drive. Getting through to support was no problem at all, the woman I spoke to was quite friendly and as helpful as she could be. Unfortunately, she was unable to answer my question with any certainty. I find that inability to be odd, being that the popularity of external hard drives has skyrocketed. Is it really possible that my desire to use an external hard drive with this switch is something which Kensington has never come up against? Has no one at Kensington tried this for their own knowledge? So, I will have one of these shipped to me and give it a go. Hopefully it will enable the use of my external hard drive on both, a Windows XP and a Linux computer, without further need to constantly plug and unplug. As soon as I know from my own efforts, I will make it a point to post the results.

Overall Review: The External Hard Drive, formatted in FAT 32, is where I store music files. It would be nice to be able to access the music from either computer, without the hassle.
