Perfect for my application

Pros: Image quality is super even in extremely low light conditions. To Test it I turn out all the lights one night and from the monitor glow only I was able to get a surprisingly good image. Auto focus works great 99% of the time. Most importantly (for me) the built in Mic is superb. I was able to pick up normal speaking from ~25 Feet away in a moderately noisy large(60x120) room.
Cons: "RightLight2 Technology" appears to be a gimmick, as I have seen no difference with it on or off. "intelligent face tracking" is also gimmicky, it has trouble tracking and insanely slow to respond.
Overall Review: Video response time and quality of movement decreases with lower light, however they are still acceptable unlike some USB cams I have tried. There is about a quarter to half second lag on video being displayed, so if you want real time video this won't work. Our use: A Non-Profit I work for broadcasts, over the internet, our monthly meetings. They consists of a room (12x18) of 20 people or fewer. So far we are extremely happy.
nice pen, slow flash drive

Pros: Multi purpose (Pen, Flash Drive, and Laser pointer), 4gigs, inexpensive
Cons: Slowest flash drive I have ever used, on every system and every type of transfer (from one big file to many small ones)! Also the inner threads for the laser battery compartment have broken requiring some super glue to re-affix back in place.
Overall Review: I wanted to give this a fair review so I gave it some time. However, if you want this for the flash drive first and foremost pass on this unit. For daily use it is just to slow. However if you want to be able to carry a backup with you where ever you go this is nice, as you don’t have to worry about loosing it. I use the flash drive part once a week to do a backup of my documents. As I have lost most of my other drives I wanted something easier to keep track of. This makes a good pen and I use it for that daily so now I always know where my backup is. Oh and of course, in the words of MADs maddest writer, “Everything is better with lasers”.
Can it get better?

Pros: Found CyberPower surge protectors many years ago and refuse to buy anything else. Just when I thought they already had the greatest power strip the went and made it better by adding 2 more outlets. Nice long cord to actually reach an outlet. Flat plug allows the desk to get pushed right up to the wall.
Cons: If there where any, some might find the cord coming off the plug points the wrong way.
Overall Review: No, no I don't think it can get any better!
Hot Stuff

Pros: Runs nice and smooth. Primarily bought to run Folding @ Home and it has been a champ running almost none stop for over 10 months.
Cons: Had a issue with the card overheating at first. Temps would go over specs and cause a hard crash. Driver updates and the like didn't help. I eventually tracked down the problem to the driver software not properly adjusting the fan speed automatically. Wouldn't spin up over 37%. Downloaded "nvProfile" and was able to manually set it higher. Running at a manual 50% solved the issue
Overall Review: Great card, not so happy about the driver flaw. However happy that Nvidia has the for-site to make a program to work around the problem.
Main drive for almost a year

Pros: Been a great primary (boot) drive for just short of a year now. No problems to date. Keeps up with the most demanding tasks I throw at it.
Cons: not 16 mb Cache, but not really necessary as this drive keeps up just fine.
Overall Review: I always try to by Seagate drives. For me personally I have fewer problems with them.
No data lost to date

Pros: Been running like a champ for over a year now. Had no issues with it along the way.
Cons: Drive manufactures and OS programmers need to reach a compromise already. Don't know how many times I have been asked why only x amount is space is there/is this drive broken. . . Really are we still in elementary school. Lets standardize this already.
