PNY NVS 510 VCNVS510DP-PB 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card

Pros: Installed fine, I bought this so I could install Chief Architect and learn it. It handles it with no problem. In 3 years I've had Zero issues.

Cons: None, the card performs seemingly flawlessly.

Overall Review: I would certainly recommend it.

Most Critical Review

Optical Cable

CABLES UNLIMITED Model AUD-9200-03 3 ft. Toslink Digital Audio Cable Male to Male

Pros: None

Cons: Cable just did not work. Must've got a bad one. New Egg still rocks, not their fault.

Great HD!

Pros: Plugged it in, works fine, no problems, does what it's supposed to do!

Cons: None at this time. Time will tell as always with hard drives.

Overall Review: I've used WD hard drives exclusively for the past 13 years, both internal and external, and haven't had one crash on me yet. Currently I have 8 externals and a couple of internals, no problems with any of them. They're always reliable, and I expect the same out of this one.

Great MOBO, so far!

Pros: First, let me state, I'm no pro, heck, I'd like to know what my 22 yr. old son forgets in a day! I do know how to build a basic PC though, and I've used ASUS boards on the last 4 of my 5 builds, had one DOA, it got replaced and I still use it 7 years later! Windows 7 pro 64 bit installed without a hitch. Memory was recognized with no problems. I did install the memory opposite of the manual per other reviewers comments about the manual listing the wrong dimm slots for dual channel memorym, and it worked. Haven't had it more than a week, so can't say much yet. I did want to share the ease of installation, and the fact that it seems to perform fine. I'll update as I experience it. I'm not a gamer, so the onboard graphics are all I need, they look great! Havent used the audio yet. Very smooth install.

Cons: All the negative reviews! No, seriously, none yet. It's fallible, as is any piece of electronics. We'll see. All my previous boards, except for the aforementioned DOA board have performed fine, so I don't expect any problems with this one.

Overall Review: System basics: AMD Phenom IIx4 955 Black Edition WD 320 gb G.SKill 4gb DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Great little thumb drive!

Pros: Cheap, works fine, does what it's supposed to do, no problems after a couple of months. Love the swinging cover, can't lose it!

Cons: None really....

Overall Review: Mine went through a complete wash cycle, I let it dry out, and it just kept working,didn't lose the data that was on it!

Great little hard drive!

Pros: Finally, 2 TB in one small, slim drive. Not a huge deal, but it's nice to see them finally size them down ( I have 3 of the large mirrored 2 TB drives). Transfer rates are fine, no problems with speed. Price is certainly right, I snagged two of em'!

Cons: None really, unless you count the fact that USB is the only connection, (I can understand the need for firewire for some folks).

Overall Review: This is a basic HD for basic storage, perfect for my needs!
