Pros: It's a one slot card, so unless you have a really tiny mother board or case, it'll fit in perfectly. I have an older socket 720 Intel mother board from about three years ago, so I was worried about computability issues. I got the card because I am updating my mobo and processor eventually anyway and figured why not try it? I plugged it in and got a display no problem. It easily overclocked to 875 mhz core and 1322 mhz memory clock speeds while keeping a cool 55 C temp on full load. The cooling system on this thing is insane - and quiet too.

Cons: Drivers were a pain in the neck. The driver cd that shipped with my card was faulty (i.e. it did not run at all). I installed the most up to date catalyst drivers off of the AMD website instead - which I planned on doing anyway. Upon restart, however, my computer continued to tell me that there was new hardware - an unknown pci device. Some research told me that it wasn't the GPU that was coming up as new hardware (the card came up fine in the hardware manager) it was the HD audio bus that is on the thing. The error prevented my catalyst control center from starting up. So I downloaded hotfix kb888111, which is the hotfix for HD audio on windows xp. The unknown pci device then came up as a hd audio bus, which I subsequently disabled - though I could just as easily have installed drivers for it if I wanted to use it.

Overall Review: If you have the same sort of issue I had, make sure you're running windows xp sp2 to install the hotfix, because apparently it won't install right under sp3. Just uninstall sp3 and revert to sp2 to install the hotfix, then you can go back to sp3 with no issues.

Pros: Nice looking enclosure, usb works, a lot of space.

Cons: Dead ESATA, tried it on three different machines, no luck on any of them getting the ESATA going. The USB worked fine, but I wanted the speed of an internal while having the convenience of an external, so USB was a no go.

Overall Review: Just popped the HDD out of the enclosure (voids warranty) and put it inside my computer, the HDD inside itself is perfectly fine. I'd rather have the speed than the mobility.

Pros: Portable and easy to set up. Picture quality is decent. Works with Sage Tv, Beyond Tv, and Media Center, probably others too but I haven't tried them. The component cable attachment is really convenient.

Cons: wintv software is garbage. Gets warm, but then every tuner I've run into gets warm.

Overall Review: For people who want to use a tuner to play video games: This stick will do it. Many people will report there is a 2 second delay, that's because of MPEG2 encoding, and will occur with most tuners. Fortunately this tuner uses software encoding, so all you need to do is use software that doesn't encode the stream and the lag goes away. The only program I've found so far that supports the component attachment is the winamp tv plugin. Media Player Classic will play without lag but only over coax.
