Good Mythtv card

MSI GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card FX5200-TD128LF
MSI GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card FX5200-TD128LF

Pros: Fanless, hence quiet. Takes up relatively little space in my case. I got what I paid for, I like it.

Cons: accessories like an svideo cable or DVI to vga adapter would be nice.

Overall Review: I have this card in a mythtv box, and it works great, particularly because it's silent, but also has the overscan functions. Granted I've never played any games with this card, but thats not why I bought it.

Most Critical Review

Great drive, until it died

Seagate SV35.3 ST3500320SV 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate SV35.3 ST3500320SV 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Good, quiet drive. Decent price.

Cons: Drive failed in less than 2 months.

Overall Review: Upgraded Tivo HD with one of these. Worked great for about 2 months, then the drive just died. RMA with Seagate was a hassle. Also, Newegg doesn't seem to ship OEM drives properly. I realize all hard drives fail, but I'm curious as to what the failure rates are for these seagates.
