Most Critical Review
ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: NONE, wont post, board was shipped with bent cpu pins that Newegg will not cover under warranty!

Cons: First I want to say that I build and repair computer systems for a living, I have put together over 100 LGA1155 socket systems alone. The cpu on the 1155 socket is of a flat design so there is nothing protruding on the cpu to bend the pins in the motherboard socket. I received the board and found out 4 of the pins were bent in the cpu socket of the motherboard! I returned the motherboard to NewEgg and was told the warranty was void BECAUSE THE PINS WERE BENT IN THE CPU SOCKET! --ah... yes thats why I returned it. Newegg stated it was my fault that the pins were bent and voided the warranty! Now I have an 180 dollar paper weight. I contacted ASUS and they also said that the warranty is voided if the pins were bent. So both NewEgg and ASUS assumed that I bent the pins, this is preposterous. There is zero possibility that I bent the pins on this board. This ended a very long relationship with me and Newegg, and I also will not buy an ASUS product again! BUYER BEWARE!!

Fuzzy analog and poor QAM reception

AVerMedia H797-AF AVerTV Combo G2 (White Box)

Pros: easy to setup, works with Windows 7. Works with Vista.

Cons: With good cable signal, my analog cable channels were much more grainy than my 50inch panny plasma tv, or my 27 inch Polaroid lcd tv. My biggest gripe, is that I only get my 4 hdtv locals on digital clear QAM out of 17 possible clear QAM channels. Both of my tv's get all 17 with their built in tuners.

Overall Review: I tried to call their tech support, was told their was a 15 min waiting period, after waiting 5 minutes or so, it went to a voice message. No one returned my call.
