Pros: Lots of input options. Supports my 7.1 SS DTS perfectly. PCI interface. If you connect your front panel audio to it, it allows two channels to receive the same signal (thus you could have a headset plugged in the front and a speaker system in the back, both working concurrently).

Cons: Ports aren't color labeled. The text that labels what each port is is upside-down after you install it on your motherboard. So to read what you're plugging a cord into you'd have to read it upside down. Not a huge deal though since ideally you'd only have to do this once in a blue moon.

Overall Review: I'm running two 8800GTs in SLI and put this card directly inbetween them (had no other choice). If you do this AND want to hook up your front panel audio on your case, where you insert the SLI bridge lines up exactly where you would plug in front-panel audio on the soundcard. You can make due with them both plugged in, though its an extremely tight fit and the bridge and cables are touching and applying pressure on each other.

Pros: Not enough can be said about the surround sound...best sound out of a set of headphones I've ever heard. The grip of the headphones takes a little getting used to, but you eventually get a good wear and it fits snug and comfortable. Mic is pretty clear. Programmable G keys are useful for things such as ventrillo and music control.

Cons: These were a *insert your deity here*-send for about a month. Then problems arose. I started getting random wireless disconnects for about 5 seconds at a time every 5-10 minutes. I thought that would be okay to deal with, though annoying. Then the sound start fizzling. I hear these very subtle but noticeable pops as any sound is played now. I looked around online for solutions, only to run into other people with the same story...great for a few weeks or a month, then it started to deteriorate. So with that said, I'd take what anyone says who's owned it less than 3 months with a grain of salt.

Overall Review: It's a shame, because these were the best set of headphones I've ever purchased. But the random disconnects and fizzling sound is about to drive me crazy, so I think I'm going to have to replace these. Maybe it's just a bad set, but like I said in my cons section, there's other people with similar stories.

Pros: The sound quality is unbelievably good. Confortable fit. Microphone is clear. The "G" buttons are nifty for music playback control or Ventrilo. Wireless design has good range. Can take a dump and listen to music AT THE SAME TIME.

Cons: Software is extremely buggy. Battery degrades fast...suppose to be 9 hours fully charged, after a year I get, at best, 2-3 hours. Sometimes the receiver wil randomly lose signal with the headset. The volume glitches out sometimes when turning the headset on. Surround sound sometimes won't activate unless unplugging the receiver and replugging it back in.

Overall Review: the ear coverings are a bit cheap and wear easily, so go easy on them. Most of the problems with this device seem to be software related rather than headset related. The headset is amazing when it's working like it's suppose to, but unfortunately I'm about fed up with dealing with all the little problems.

Pros: Speed performs as advertised. I put two of these in a RAID 0 configuration and was able to achieve 998 MB/s read and 970 MB/s write.

Cons: As I said in my pros, I got 2 of these drives. 1 of them keeps randomly disconnecting, crashing my RAID. When I reboot, it boots into the RAID just fine. If I leave my computer on all day while I'm at work it doesn't crash, but as soon as I start transferring files or downloading something, it will usually crash within 5-15 minutes. It's always the same drive that fails, so I'm getting one RMA'd.

Overall Review: I've been in communication with their tech support and he said to not use the Intel RST and use the Windows ATA drivers. Neither stopped the BSODs, so I'm getting one of the drives RMA'd. I'm using the AsRock Z68 Extreme4 motherboard.

Pros: Good brand, good size, and good read speeds at a pretty good price comparatively. After running a few speed tests, my average read was 212 MB/s, which is pretty close to advertised. Boots up Windows 7 from the Windows logo to my desktop in 6-8 seconds.

Cons: 70 MB/s write is very slow, which is why I'd recommend this as your OS drive and nothing more.

Overall Review: My drive actually failed after a month. I RMA'd it back to OCZ and they sent out a new drive the next day. Every now and then you get a bad egg, so I'm not going to knock them for that. Hard drives fail sometimes. Good thing they have excellent customer support though.

Pros: Seems pretty good for a HTPC with the onboard HDMI. With drivers, also outputs HQ audio through HDMI. Most (!) everything works as advertised. LOTS of USB headers if for whatever reason you need a million USB connections.

Cons: Very primitive BIOS. Feels like a BIOS from 10 years ago. Hardly any options. Definitely not for overclockers. No 1394 headers. This surprised me, as I thought it was pretty standard so I didn't even bother checking ahead of time. I guess Firewire is getting outdated, so not a huge con. I don't know what the deal is here, but I can't get my ethernet port to work. In device manager, it says "This device cannot start". I tried to install the drivers that came with the board, but it doesn't have any effect on it. Not sure if this is a hardware fault or bad driver.

Overall Review: Bought this for my HTPC setup. If it weren't for the terrible BIOS and ethernet drivers not working this would be a great board. As it is, it's just a standard board.
