Pros: has worked flawlessly since i've had it. this is the guts to my NES pc. it does everything i need it to do easily. watching hd vids, surfing web, and running emulators. i added some extra usb's so i could have them up front to hook up controllers, or a flash drive.

Cons: i only had one problem, the nvidia driver that came on the install disk for the hdmi port didn't work very good, had video, no sound. the vga and dvi worked flawlessly. problem was solved with the latest ion driver from nvidia.com. so it was only a small con that didn't last long.

Overall Review: great power for low cost. highly recommended.

Soooo quiet

Cons: nothing

Pros: plugged into motherboard and they work. what more could you ask for. wires are color coded. just make sure to refer to motherboard manual on what pins are what. if its wrong, things can get bad. basically, they're all standard anyway, just a few rogue manufacturers that make it different.

Cons: doesn't come in black

works just like it should
