A Must Have!
Pros: Clearly the best way to mount a Xigmatek or OCZ CPU cooler.
Cons: It probably requires removal of the motherboard.
Overall Review: Installation Tip: Position the cooler over the over the mounting plate and thread two of the screws (without springs) into opposite corners to fix the CPU cooler's location. Then, thread the remaining 2 screws (springs attached) about 1-2 turns into the other corners. Remove the first two, add springs, and reinsert as the second two. Tighten all four according to directions.
High Quality - Low End Card
Pros: Built with high end components, this card will likely be functioning long after I'm not. The HDMI port outputs very high quality audio/video and works flawlessly as the driver for the second digital monitor in a dual monitor configuration.
Cons: Taking into consideration this is a low end card, I can't say any cons have come to light.
Overall Review: This card was installed into the older of two computers in a two computer, three monitor setup. Since one monitor has both DVI and HDMI inputs, I can run either computer with dual monitors by simply pressing a switch.
Worth Every Penny!
Pros: Solid, stable, and easy to configure. All components recognized correctly.
Cons: None that I've found.
Overall Review: Good-to-go right of the box. Used it with Antec 300 case, Antec EA-380 PSU, e8400 CPU, 8 GB Mushkin DDR2 800 5-4-4-12, HD 3470 video card running dual 22" monitors, 500 GB Samsung Spinpoint HDD, and an LG SATA 22X DVD burner. XP x64 just flies with this this setup.
