Pros: I e-mailed SYBA if this card supports arrays larger than 3TB - it does not, which is to be expected from a PCI card, but they responded within hours to my e-mail, which earns them the 5 eggs.

Cons: PCI is old tech...

Pros: they worked for a while (~2 months) and were the cheapest "surround" system

Cons: 1. I havent been able to get the to behave as anything besides a 2.1 system - i would never have gotten these if i knew that they werent surround 2. the cables to the rear speakers are too short 3. it makes a funny noise randomly when left on, similar to when you first turn it on, rather loudly 4. about 2 months in (with very small use, i think i prefer my headphones over this), it started humming, loudly, both when I am trying to use them (music/stuff is drowned out by hum) and when it shouldn't be making any sounds at all (like when my computer is off)

Overall Review: apparently the manufacturer offers a 1 year warranty, but i havent been able to figure out what i need to do in order to use this http://www.mypixxo.com/warranty.html has anyone else had any success? normally you would go to their website and submit an RMA request or something before shipping, preferably where they give you a UPS label so you dont pay shipping

Pros: It's thermal paste, and it's non-conductive - I can't say I have tested its performance thoroughly, but it's about 5º less that the stock intel one that comes pre-applied to their 1155 heatsinks

Cons: the syringe is about 5x as big as what it needs to be - all of the paste resides in the very tip

Pros: The flash drive rubber is pretty solid and is probably even waterproof up to a certain point with the cap on

Cons: nothing was given to hook onto the back of the flash drive/keep the cap with it, you have to be careful to not forget/lose the cap

Pros: they were $26 + free shipping on the shell shocker, same as a basic 2-speaker setup the sound isnt great, but for under $30 it's acceptable

Cons: the sub woofer makes a funny sound every now and then for me, and I cant get the back 2 speakers to make any sound when doing normal stuff (ex: playing music), but they do make a sound when I go test them and see if they are working

Overall Review: the wires weren't as long as I would have liked (for the back 2 speakers), so i ended up buying an extension (so i can arrange the wires to go behind all the furniture so they don't show) i would not recommend buying these speakers unless the price goes down to under 30 again
