Nice cheap card, but HOT!

Pros: Nice card, very cheap but does the job. I don't use it for gaming - I was hoping to use the card to enhance an HTPC I have, but it turns out the hardware acceleration I need is not well supported yet in general. Still, does the job nicely. Easy install as well.
Cons: oh wow does it run hot. Hot hot hot. The heatsink and sad little fan on there will burn your hand off if you touch it while running at full speed. Beware!
It's as bad as they say..

Pros: Technically, it does <i>work</i>. I mean, it plugs in, the lights turn on. It has Ethernet ports. Yeah that's all I can think of.
Cons: Wow. Ok, poor signal. REALLY poor signal. None of our 4 laptops or 3 web cameras can get anything other than an 802.11g signal out of this thing. I knew going in that this router didnt' really support 'N' speeds, but wow. Just wow. also, default router settings are not optimized for this hardware! I had to poke around the Cisco/Linksys forums for 2 weeks before I found some more proper settings. Doesn't work out of the box with other Cisco products either. No wonder it was so cheap.
Overall Review: I knew this was going to be a crapshoot, but basically - don't waste your time. I should have just paid an extra 30 bucks and gotten a DLink, a Netgear.. hell, ANYTHING would have been better.
