Pros: I used the GT430 LP model in htpc builds, so bought this since its an upgrade graphics wise

Cons: no LP bracket, Asus please send me a LP bracket

Overall Review: well, this card is not a huge card and good for the price, I wish it would have come with a low profile bracket like the GT430 model did, this card is slightly bigger than the 430 but still small enough for smaller htpc case

Pros: price storage capacity

Cons: all plastic gets really hot in a few minutes

Overall Review: i fear this thing wont last very long because it gets so hot like its gonna melt...how does something made of all plastic get so hot? i thought plastic was an insulator.

Pros: resonable price, comes with powerdvd and plays back my bluray movies... I use this with my dell 11z netbook

Cons: havent had any issues yet... i know folks will probably wanna point out the cable and dual usb plugs, but my dell has 2 side by sisde usb ports on the right side so i use those w/o issues

Overall Review: i had an overpriced portable blu-ray player that was booboo that got hot and would start skipping and shhh plus it had possibly the worst sound quality i ever heard from a portable unit...wouldn't play my dvds and whatnot, so for $125 i got a "computer" bdrom ..computer drives never really have issues reading commercial discs and my dell got decent sound quality, etc
