Cool & Quiet

Pros: Compatibility Low Power Low Profile Cool Quiet
Cons: None
Overall Review: The IGP on our system (an old HP dx5150 SFF) was no longer up to the task when streaming video on our HDTV. Our primary concerns were compatibility with the older PCIe bus as well as power requirements due to the 250W SFF power supply. This little low-profile card fit right in without any clearance issues and when using the system for its intended purpose (streaming HD video & playing the occasional DVD) it remains very cool and quiet - max GPU usage reported via Open Hardware Monitor was 12%. It remained in the mid 40s degC while streaming. No more stuttering video or loss of sync with the audio, and the display is much crisper with much more control of the color profile. Another reviewer complained about the lack of retail packaging and other accessories, however it should be noted that this is an OEM card. The drivers on nVidia's website work perfectly and took less than 5 minutes to download and install. If you are in a similar situation with limited legacy hardware and are looking for an inexpensive drop-in solution, this card may be worth your consideration.
A Fast One

Pros: MiniTower Case Intel Chipset, Intel NIC Clean & Quiet
Cons: Already Out-Of-Stock!
Overall Review: We purchased one of these to replace an ailing decade old system with capacitors starting to leak and ports going defunct one by one. It arrived on time and in good condition. The front panel was in great shape - looks brand new. There was some minor rubbing on one of the side panels, which had been repainted and is difficult to notice. Inside the easy to open case, it looked brand new. All connections were solid, and there was not a speck of dust to be found anywhere. The only thing to indicate this had been previously used was a missing expansion card cover where a graphics adapter had been installed. The performance and expandability of this system is exceptional for the price - with a one-year warranty and a bundled keyboard/mouse set it is no wonder that these sold out fast.
Worked great for about a year

Pros: Lowered temps on chipset fan of my DFI LanParty SLI-DR considerably once installed. No interference with the nVidia GeForce 7800GTX installed over it.
Cons: After about 10 months the fan started intermittently rattling really loud, especially when warming up.
Overall Review: Ordering a couple more in case this one was just a fluke, or maybe PCs need "fan changes" like vehicles need oil changes.
Fast & Quiet

Pros: Fast printing, reliable duplex function, small footprint, nice output. Quiet.
Cons: Stock memory is only 16MB. USB cable was not included.
Overall Review: This has been a solid performer for us. It is fast, quiet, and takes up very little space. After adding a 128MB memory module (inexpensive), the performance of this printer has been outstanding. Some users critique the printer driver as being "bloatware", but we like the web-based administration tool interface. It is easy to use and we can monitor the printer's status in a tabbed window in Firefox.
