Most Favorable Review

So far so good

EPoX EP-8NPA7I 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX AMD Motherboard
EPoX EP-8NPA7I 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Inexpensive, can use mobile chips, can do IDE Raid, works with 20 pin PSs! Hope it last as long as my 8KTA3+PRO :)

Cons: No SPDIF in.

Overall Review: Whats not to like, used all my leftover parts. Maxtor 2 X IDE 80s, 1g/400mhz, Turion ML32, LiteOn DVD-ROM, Pioneer DVR-A09, Enlight 350ATX12V PS. New EVGA 7600GT!

Works! But!

KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick
KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick

Pros: Seems to work for ATSC & Qam Works great with G/Npvr great, after finding correct codecs. Works with VLC, but setup is not for the faint of heart!

Cons: Was clearly an open box & not new-was used! but was not worth the send back because of cost.

Overall Review: Not happy it was a used item

ASUS GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card ENGT440 DC SL/DI/1GD3

Pros: Works great in a Win-XP/SP-3, AMD-Sem 64/3400, EPoX-8NPA7I, 2Gig HDCP machine.

Cons: None at the present time.

Overall Review: Hoping the system works the same when I get Win 7 for it!

Win 7

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit

Pros: Works great, when you find the right combination. Works in a Northwood 2.4, ABIT AI7, Power Color AGP HD 2600 Pro, 1gig and a WD 320 machine. Loads fine except the audio driver, which I found & now works fine. No other issues with that setup

Cons: Will not load with an AGP HD 4350-HDMI card, hits a problem and unexpectedly shutsdown and restarts over & over again. Can't try any drivers because it never stops restarting. Nothing else is connected except the PS/DVD drive.

Overall Review: Using Win 7 with older hardware is iffy at best, some video card/Motherboard combinations may not go well together-I know, I now have a spare 4350 HD card.

HIS 4350

HIS Radeon HD 4350 512MB DDR3 AGP 4X/8X Low Profile Ready Graphics Card H435F512HA
HIS Radeon HD 4350 512MB DDR3 AGP 4X/8X Low Profile Ready Graphics Card H435F512HA

Pros: Works great with XP-32/SP-3 in a Northwood 2.4, Abit AI7, 1Gig machine.

Cons: Unable to load Win 7 on this machine with this video card, hangs-then "unexpectedly shutsdown-restarts" over and over again, unable to load any drivers because of restarts. But can load Win 7 the earlier card an HD 2600 Pro with no problems. But cannot exchange the 2600 with 4350 without Win 7 entering a restart loop.

Overall Review: If you are hoping use this with Win 7, best of luck

Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 3G 16GB Unlocked GSM Smartphone w/ 8 MP Camera / Android OS / Touchscreen / Wi-Fi / GPS 4.3" Black 1GB RAM

Pros: Unlocked Came loaded with ICS 4.0.3 Automatic set up of APN & Email accounts-kind of a pain if it's not right. Radio Nice screen Works great

Cons: Seal was broken-still in great condition Somewhat short battery life with GPS & web access, but can last 3 full days of talk & text with some web use. MicroSD card NOT available from the outside of phone! No Bluetooth DUN!

Overall Review: Unable to tell if it has 1700mhz but works on 850/1900 E/G/U/H/H+
