Works with arch linux

Hauppauge ImpactVCB Video Capture Card RCA connectors plus one S-Video/ PCI - OEM
Hauppauge ImpactVCB Video Capture Card RCA connectors plus one S-Video/ PCI - OEM

Pros: Work right of the box with arch.

Overall Review: I use this with a linux program called motion, on a 1ghz 512mb box (low cpu usage 9%). I only use 2 of the inputs and they work great. Remember that it only shows up as one device /dev/video# and has 4 inputs on that dev. To check use a program called xawtv and change the source to figure out the correct input. I attached a video of motion in action with this card.

solid camera

Vonnic C101W 480 TV Lines MAX Resolution Outdoor Night Vision Bullet Camera - White

Pros: This camera is solid. Made of aluminium, well thought out design, including weather proof mounting plate and sliding lens hood*. I bought 2 and couldn't be happier.

Cons: No power supply. I bought a 12volt 1a ac to dc supply at a local store. *Lens hood is painted white underneath, this causes lens flair(ironically) at night from the ir lights reflecting into the lens. Easily solved with flat black spray paint on inside of the hood.

Overall Review: For signal it has a female bnc connector and power it's a female type power supply( I think N type, lost package) look for BNC Siamese Cable for CCTV Installations.

Works with linux

EPSON Perfection V200 B11B188011 4800 dpi 48bit USB Interface Flatbed Scanner
EPSON Perfection V200 B11B188011 4800 dpi 48bit USB Interface Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Works with ubuntu 7.10 using drivers/backend (for xsane) from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html. Have been scanning slides (50 or so) with no complaints. Scanned a few documents with good results.

Cons: This is with LINUX only: not able to pick all resolutions(300,2400,4800 only), buttons don't work(as of yet), and the unit doesn't shut off(unplug-it).

Overall Review: I'm very happy it works with linux and recommend it for anyone needing a good scanner using linux.

Great Deal

Pros: Great price keeps cpu(amd xp 2200+) pretty cool 30 c( at 30 % use).

Cons: Somewhat hard to install. Fan is in the way had to remove to install. Also a great deal of pressure was needed to clip on.

Overall Review: I use this in my pvr(mythtv) and noise level is ok.
