3.8 GB formatted in my Canon S3

Pros: Works right out of the box. Plugged into my Canon S3 and low level formatted @ 3.8GB. Have yet to do any speed tests, but it takes photos and videos just fine in the camera.
Cons: none

Pros: - Plug and play! - dual tuners - dual s-vid inputs - decent video quality
Cons: - causing my pc to hang coming out of standby
Overall Review: This card was easy to install and Windows MCE works pretty well with these tuners. For dual S-vid inputs this comes with a 'dongle' that takes up another expansion slot for video and audio inputs. (beware Shuttle users w/optional Video card). All in all, a painless MCE environment. EXCEPT. There is a rumor going around that the pvr500 is causing hangups on some PCs when resuming from standby. This is happening on my PC currently. They said that Happauge is working on a fix and will be released in the next driver. I'll be waiting for that. One temporary workaround (if you REALLY need standby) is to disable one tuner in device manager (but what's the use of that????)

Pros: Fast, Quiet, Stable
Cons: none
Overall Review: Great HD. Good price. On Windows MCE, I kept getting a warning in the event viewer about a disk error when accessing the paging file. I disabled NCQ and all is fine now... I don't really care, I couldn't tell if there was a difference with NCQ on or off... heck, I don't even know if this drive is NCQ enabled. Anyway, I bought this drive because it came so highly recommended by SPC Review. This drive is very, very quiet. I never hear it reading/writing. (could be because of that 7800GT fan buzzing away).

Pros: - Passive Cooling - Stable
Cons: - Not sure why I cannot resume from Standby
Overall Review: Great board. PC is almost silent, just need to quiet that 7800GT. Board is stable. It was an easy install. Layout was fine for my purposes. Documentation was fine (First build in 4 years). I'm having trouble resuming from standby for Windows MCE, but I think the problem is with my TV Tuner.

Pros: - USB/PS-2 compatible - Looks/size - Price - Wireless -
Cons: - Mouse is cheapy
Overall Review: Good Keyboard/mouse combo. Keyboard is nice, thin. Keys are nice since I use a notebook keyboard all day. Wireless range works from my desk to where my PC is (about 9 ft away, at an 70 degree angle). Mouse is a little cheapy, I've used a wired MS intellimouse for years, and it felt better in hand. but this will do. I got the combo at at GREAT price (if I ever see my rebate again). Anyway, so far so good.

Pros: - Stable - Stable - Stable
Cons: None
Overall Review: Ram works with my MB. Haven't had a chance to make sure it was detected correctly, but my system is working and ROCK solid. Maybe OCing later on, since the RAM is capable of it.
