Best Low profile card you can buy!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card 100293L

Pros: This is a great card. It took my Windows 7 graphics from 4.0 to 6.8! Can play most of the new games. Draws very little power.

Cons: There's some slight fan noise, but that's about it.

Overall Review: The best low profile card you can purchase for gaming, and it fits in the small form factor Acer and Gateway cases.

5570 is a good video processor

Pros: The Radeon 5570 is a great graphics CPU, that's about the only positive on this card for me.

Cons: If you're purchasing this card to put into a small form factor Acer or Gateway PC, don't bother. The adapter for a SFF pc is a single unit and is backwards as to what will fit in the Gateway and Acer SFF pc's.

Great PC for a low price

Pros: If you're looking for a small form factor PC with great specs at a very reasonable price, you can't go wrong with this PC. Like 99% of the 'off the shelf' pc's, you can't play games on it unless you put in a graphics card. I put a Sapphire 5570 and it will play almost anything I want it to (not always at high settings, but more than playable)

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: With a grahics card (I like the Sapphire 5570), it can handle games like Dirt2 and Crysis with the detail levels turned down. A great value for the money!

Great flash drive!

Pros: This is a great flash drive, it combines good performance with great durability.

Cons: The price is a little high for a 4 gig drive, but the extra money is worth it for the added durability.

Overall Review: I like to carry a flash drive around on my key chain. I've lost more of them than I care to remember, simply because they were cheap, plastic cases that couldn't stand up to the abuse my keyring goes through. This drive solves all that, it's heavy and strong and it feels like it will last me quite a while.
