Cheap looking
Pros: It cools the hard drive and is reasonably quiet at 2,000 rpm.
Cons: It's cheap looking (overpriced). The fan is sleeve bearing (not ball) and rated at only 40,000 hours.
Overall Review: It's not bad but I'm sure there are better choices for the same money.
Works, but?
Pros: It works
Cons: But it doesn't work well. Some games have a delayed sound (Far Cry) and some were missing gun-fire sounds (Serious Sam 2) even after the acceleration rate was changed in the dxdiag. The software was also confusing. Going back to on-board sound, maybe it doesn't sound as good (I can't tell) but at least it worked.
Overall Review: The computer the card was installed in was a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3.4GHz HT CPU and 4GB DDR2 memory.
work great
Pros: The sound and mic work perfectly
Cons: The ear cushions rot quickly. It's not just a problem for this product but for all earphones that use foam cushions. It's always a pain to find replacements.
Overall Review: The earphone and microphone each have a jack that connects to the laptop, it is not a single combo type jack that combines both.
Perfect
Pros: The perfect utilitarian mouse. The size is a tad smaller than my old clunker and has a much lighter feel.
Cons: None
Overall Review: For the price it's a nice mouse.
Great card
Pros: Finally - a video card with a cooling fan that can be EASILY replaced if necessary. Played FarCry2 for 1/2 hour at high settings on a Dell Precision 390, 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo with an ambient room temperature of 74F and the GPU temperatures were only 104F (SpeedFan readings). Nice card for the price.
Cons: None when the price is considered.
Overall Review: If you're planning on using this card for long hard continuous use I don't think you can go wrong. Obviously this is not a game card you'd take to a LAN party but it works pretty good and doesn't cost $300.
Works Great
Pros: Camera works great and the integral microphone works perfectly with Skype Minutes. The camera mounting seems to work everywhere.
Cons: Since I have to pick a Con - it's too expensive.
Overall Review: You won't regret this purchase.
