Fantastic cooler

ZALMAN CNPS8700 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS8700 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Fantastic cooler. On lowest speed 1140RPM) my 6600 Quad runs at 46C with all four cores at 90% load during NLE transcoding. At high speed/high load it's 38C. 26C at idle and low speed.

Cons: The bracket behind the board is a pain to line up but it is set and forget.

Overall Review: Fits on the Abit P35 Pro MB.

Good camera

LTS Wireless-G+RJ45 IP Camera with 30 LED / MicroSD Card Record / iPhone Live View / White (LTCIP830MV-W)
LTS Wireless-G+RJ45 IP Camera with 30 LED / MicroSD Card Record / iPhone Live View / White (LTCIP830MV-W)

Pros: Good night vision Well made Easy set up Audio

Cons: Color balance Resolution

Overall Review: Pretty easy to set up in Windows. If you want a traditional web address to view the camera on the web and if you have a dynamic IP address, you will need to select and set up DNS. The first choice in the drop down box is free and works but there is little guidance. The second drop down has better tutorials. Most importantly, you need to go into your router set and allow port forwarding for most likely port 80 to the IP address for the camers that is assigned at set up.

Pretty good

Pros: Good night vision Good sound Decent general picture Decent manual Motion detection with email forwarding Wireless Remote viewing

Cons: Setting up remote viewing requires knowledge not discussed in the manual

Overall Review: If you want remote viewing and do not have a static IP address which is often the case, you need to set up port forwarding on your router as well as establish a DNS service to keep track of your changing IP address. while the first DNS service on the camera setup drop down box works, the second choice has more tutorials for the novice.

Insanely fast

Patriot Supersonic 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive PEF32GSUSB
Patriot Supersonic 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive PEF32GSUSB

Pros: Insanely fast. I have to routinely back up and transport over 20 gigs of data and this thing is great. It is faster than my previous USB drives in a USB 2.0 socket and crazy fast in a USB 3.0 socket. It was plug and play without issue in 2 computers, one with USB 2.0 and one with USB 3.0, both Windows XP Pro SP3. The 3.0 socket wanted a computer restart after the initial new hardware splash screen but no issues. If you need/want the speed, it's worth the extra coin. If not I have a number of Patriot 2.0 drives that work fine, just slower (and cheaper).

Cons: Cap is loose

Great card
