CHAINTECH GeForce 7300GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Low Profile Graphics Card GSV73GS-G2

Pros: Nice card that fit perfectly in to my Dell GX620 which I am building as an HTPC. Powerful enough to output 1920x1080p (30fps).

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Used LP bracket to replace the long one.

Most Critical Review

Inconsistent burning speed

100 Pack Smartbuy 16X DVD-R 4.7GB 120Min White Inkjet Hub Printable Blank Media Recordable Disc

Pros: Cheap

Cons: These discs don't have consistent burning speed. I used them in different DVD recorders and some of them burned at speed up to 16x, but most of them only at 8x.

Overall Review: I have a specially configured computer that allows to do simultaneous recording of 8 DVD copies. If I put these discs in, the resulted speed is less than 2x. Totally wasted.

Inconsistent quality

Pros: some of them works.

Cons: Inconsistent quality. I got three of these and put them into array and found one of them won't go beyond 4x speed when burning DVD images. This slows down the whole array.

Overall Review: I haven't figured out how to get this one replaced with ASUS. Looks like RMA is pretty confusing, if it is even possible.
