Great little card
Pros: I rolled the dice on this card as I needed it for a SFF pc with only 250W power supply. This is under the required power which is listed for this card, however everything seems to work fine after running some stress tests.
Cons: None for me.
Cheap N wireless
Pros: Bargain price. Looks like a UFO. Runs third party firmware (but no UFOness).
Cons: The Wii still stutters on videos but I don't know that it's not their (Nintendo's) network. Some devices can't connect to the 5GHz band N wireless and they insist on 2.4GHz band. This device will not share the 2.4GHz band between N and B/G. So this isn't a one stop shop for my household wireless needs. No gigabit wired ethernet.
Overall Review: Not a bad router for the money
Solid low price board
Pros: I had no trouble building this into my current system. Build quality seems good to me. Nothing was hard to access. Easy and pleasant BIOS screen. Everything that I've come to expect from Giga.
Cons: A no-nonsense build sheet would be a nice addition to the package, I had to print out some pinout information from the online manual, which is fine but not ideal.
Overall Review: I'd recommend this board for anyone looking to build a new rig on a budget.
Mostly as expected
Pros: Needed a card compatible with an older device. This arrived quickly and works as expected.
Cons: This is a minor thing, but on the photo description of the item does not exactly match the item received. The description photo showed made in Japan, the received item was made in Taiwan.
good choice for non critical systems
Pros: These drives are solid. I have many in my lab that have been spinning continuously for six plus years and are still going strong. These refurb models are a fantastic bargain.
Cons: short warranty
Overall Review: I wouldn't be putting these drives into production hardware, but they make it really affordable to keep older rigs running.
Good basic video card
Pros: This card had the best support for the old television that I needed to use. This product has everything that I need and nothing that I don't.
Cons: I got some comments from my co-workers about the lady on the box, not exactly perfect for a workplace setting.
Overall Review: I used this card in a SFF PC to display monitoring and alerting information on a large screen television. I can't believe some of these cards that say "low profile ready" don't come with a low profile bracket.
