Great!

Pros: This cord is great! Sends out both audio and video and it's not that thick! Love it, and no problems whatsoever. Amazing price.

Cons: n/a

Great Case

Pros: Case is a great material and I love how you have options on the way it stands. It doesn't get in the way of the cameras or speakers. When closed, it almost looks like a paper notebook, so its not super flashy which I like. I like the material and it doesn't feel cheap at all.

Cons: The biggest con is that with the keyboard dock you have to take the case out to dock the keyboard. I guess you could cut holes for the docking part but then that might weaken the structural integrity of the case.

Great drive, blinding blue light

Pros: Great drive for the price. I love that it came with Esata slot, which is good. It was quick and easy to format. I am pleased with this drive so far, mainly using it to store movies for my HTPC.

Cons: looking directly at the blue light can cause blindness. Also no esata cable.

Overall Review: If you need another lamp in the house, this drive will illuminate your whole house in a blue glow.

Remote rocks, tv tuner sucks

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 ATSC/ClearQAM/NTSC TV Tuner PCI w/Remote 1178 PCI Interface
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 ATSC/ClearQAM/NTSC TV Tuner PCI w/Remote 1178 PCI Interface

Pros: The remote is great, works with my xbmc setup amazingly with eventghost. IT's a very simple remote, and not overly complicated. I love it.

Cons: THe TV tuner is awful. The digital input doesn't pick up anything when I do a channel scan. IT does pick up analog though, however since I don't use cable, and only tv is through a digital antenna, the tv tuner is pretty much worthless.

Overall Review: I hope that I can get this TV tuner working alot better in the future because I want to like this product!

Great speed!

AMD Phenom X3 8750 - Phenom X3 Toliman Triple-Core 2.4 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Processor - HD8750WCGHBOX

Pros: I installed this in my HTPC build, using the windows xp OS, and it runs circles around my quad core 2.2 Ghz AM2+ 9600 processor. I am very pleased with this processor for it's speed and durability.

Cons: Runs incredibly hot. Make sure that that you have circulation and that you have more than just the stock processor fan cooling down the processor.
