SILVERSTONE ST400 400W
Pros: I replaced a RAIDMAX RX-450YX120 450W that lasted 2 years and 2 days. So far it is working good. Quiet but not silent. It runs cooler then the Raidmax it replaced. Wires are long so it should fit a large case.
Cons: None
Cheap
Pros: None
Cons: I have a HP 14.1 widescreen and the corners of the case are more rounded then my computer. The metal zipper has nothing to protect it from scratching your computer. This case will keep your computer dry and dust free, that is about it.
Overall Review: I am very disappointed with this case.
Good for Windows XP
Pros: This is a good upgrade if you only have a PCI slot. Works with Windows 7 Drivers, but some stuttering with Windows 7 do to the slow speed of the PCI slot. PCI Expressx1 is a better option for Windows 7.
Cons: The PCI slot is too slow for some Windows 7 applications.
Overall Review: If your only option is a PCI card, this is a good card. Works with Windows 7, but the PCI slot speed is too slow for some graphic applications.
Not for a Dell E310
Pros: Will not work in my computer so I do not know if this is a good video card.
Cons: After install had this message on the screen: Memory Parity Error Googled "Zotac Memory Parity Error" and got this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500233
Overall Review: Maybe a good card, but Compatibility with older machines maybe a problem.
Too loud
Pros: It moves air.
Cons: It is loud.
Great up grade for an old computer
Pros: Placed in a Dell E310 that did not have an AGP or PCIe slot. Works great easy install. I did have to disable the on board video. The E310 come with a 230 watt PSU and the video card suggest a 300 watt PSU. I run 2 different stress test on the machine after install and all is good. If you have a wide screen monitor, this is a good up grade.
Cons: None
