Excellent Item

Kingston 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card w/TravelLite Reader Model FCR-TL+SD/2GB
Kingston 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card w/TravelLite Reader Model FCR-TL+SD/2GB

Pros: Great little reader comes with this card. You can put any SD card (or mini/microSD with an adapter) into the end and it acts like a normal thumb drive. Great deal!

Cons: none that I can see... well, the thumb-driver adapter has a red "activity" light on it which I don't like... makes me feel like something bad is going on... green would have been a better choice.

Perfect PS3 replacement drive

Pros: In my experience Western Digital has been the "way to go" for hard drives. I've had good experience with Seagate as well but I always go for the WD drives. So that is the biggest plus for me. Also the price was right and ... it works. Perfect for the PS3--good price, fast drive, nearly silent, and much larger than my stock (60gb) drive.

Cons: None

Great PSU, works with Asus P5N32-SLi Deluxe

Pros: Modular cables, sleeved--very quiet, lots of power.

Cons: None so far... always good experiences with Antec PSUs

Overall Review: A lot of people have been saying that this doesn't work with Asus boards. I bought it before I saw those reviews, so I was skeptical that mine wouldn't work--everything is FINE though. Asus P5N32-Sli Deluxe, BFG 7600GT 256MB PCI-e, 2 PATA 1 SATA 1 DVD+-RW, TV Tuner, E6400 Core2Duo

Excellent Value

Pros: Easily configured this item in Linux (Gentoo - 2.6.15) and got MythTV working with it in under 2 hours tops (compile time and all).

Cons: I wish I had bought it sooner!

Overall Review: Had trouble getting this set up in WinXP, but considering it's a WinXP MCE card... I don't really count that as a Con. I did get it to work though, but you can't use Hauppage's WinTV software.

Great case

Comments: I bought this case, but for some reason I didn't check the Form Factor. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2800+, but my Gigabyte board fit, plugged in, and have been using it for some time. Great case, sturdy, plenty of room and cool looking to boot!
