Pros: Bought two of these in a RAID 0 for video capture on my old p4 system. Works like a charm!

Cons: None.

Most Critical Review

Crapped out, ASUS hasn't fixed it

ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer "Ultimate Gamer" choose 3Way SLI + PhysX at Real X16 X58 CEB Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer "Ultimate Gamer" choose 3Way SLI + PhysX at Real X16 X58 CEB Intel Motherboard

Pros: Lots of x58 features, 24GB ram, lots of cooling, lots of x16 support.

Cons: Crashed randomly from the get go. 48 hours after use it failed to recognize all 24 GB of installed RAM. 72 hours after use it failed to POST. The power lights come on, the fans spin but nothing else happens. I sent it to ASUS RMA and they said they repaired it and sent it back. It still would not POST. So I RMA'd the processor, swapped out the video card and bought new RAM. It still would not POST. I sent the board for a 2nd RMA to ASUS. They sent it back yesterday. I plugged everything in and still NOTHING. Don't they test these before they send them back?!

Overall Review: Like an optomist, I threw away the box thinking that a $400 board should work like a $400 board. Now I wish I had the box so I could just return it to NEWEGG. Without the box I am left with sending it back and forth to ASUS who, for some reason, can't seem to fix it and refuses to simply send me a NEW board!

It works

ASUS USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle

Pros: It works, windows 7 recognized it, software drivers loaded easily.

Cons: I bought it to work with my Epson blutooth print adapter and the printing takes forever and stops half-way through. Not sure if it is a dongle issue or the epson issue.

Solid Card

Pros: Good Price, Fast Speed (class 10) works with all major DSLR cameras for HD Video, reliable.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I use this with my D7000 and T2i. I have two of them in my D7000 and I can shoot about all day on them. Never had a failure. Great card.

Great product!

RCA ANT751 Compact Outdoor Antenna
RCA ANT751 Compact Outdoor Antenna

Pros: Average size, works in attic and outdoors, decent range, picks up both VHF and UHF. Awesome low price only on Newegg!!!

Cons: Not as powerful as larger, more expensive units. You get what you pay for, and in this case you get a little more!

Overall Review: I first bought the Antennas Direct DB8 and found out quick it did not pick up VHF. Here in Cleveland that meant I didn't get Fox. So I returned it and picked this one up. I put it in the attic, 35 miles away from the FOX transmitter on a rainy day and was able to pick it up. However, it was blocky at times. I put an 18db amplifier at the antenna and FOX now comes in bright and clear. In fact, I now get 23 HD channels over the air. That's 21 more HD channels than I got with basic cable from TWC. If you are less than 40 miles from the broadcast towers you will be very happy with this antenna. It would probably even be better if I put it ouside on the roof.

Decent UHF, no VHF

Antennas Direct C2 Outdoor Long-Range Digital TV (DTV) Antenna
Antennas Direct C2 Outdoor Long-Range Digital TV (DTV) Antenna

Pros: Looks good, compact design, made for UHF frequency

Cons: No VHF frequency

Overall Review: Cancelled cable and tried this antenna. Picked up 18 channels in the attic, 35 miles away from the towers. Unfortunately they are all UHF, it will not pick up VHF (8.1 FOX here in Cleveland). Returned it and tried an RCA714. Picked up Channel 8 right away but not as many UHF channels as this one. Doesn't anyone make a good antenna that does it all?
