decent card,

PowerColor Radeon X1950PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card X1950PRO512MBAC
PowerColor Radeon X1950PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card X1950PRO512MBAC

Pros: runs bioshock, MOH Airborne, WIC, FEAR, COH-OF, etc at max settings. I run 1680x1050 when I can so I wanted a cheap card that could handle high res gaming with AA. this does well.

Cons: No DX10, older card. The S-Video and HDTV cable pictured are not included. not sure how this is going to handle Crysis. it does good for what i play now but feels a bit maxed out.

Overall Review: OCd to 614/749. 40c idle 53c max. if you arent gaming higher than 1280x960 I would spend the same ammount on the 8600GTS. the performance is the same at lower resolutions, but you get DX10 and a newer GPU. OR wait for the 8800GT.

good buy

Rosewill R230-P-BK Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill R230-P-BK Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Price 120MM Fan included looks good, nice paint steel mesh for front venting is nice

Cons: a little flimsy but that should be expected. the front panel is like 2 pieces, the round plastic bezel that runs from top to bottom has clips that can break, allowing the bezel to be pushed in. Not a big deal i just had to do some tweaking to get the bezel pulled out so it would line up. the USB panel at the top is slightly off color. Not a fan of the MOBO standoffs being built in but it works. Also the reset button is so small you need to use something to push it.

Overall Review: Arrived in good condition and I was very pleased with the look of the case for the price. The way the front is rounded it looks a little bit weird when you put a drive in the 5.25" bays because its no longer flush with the rest of the case, its minor though. I got it during the black friday deals and would buy another.

Pros: works with vista, can be set to require a username and password to connect.

Cons: its not free

Overall Review: to the guy who said it doesnt have password protection until you try to move the camera..Not sure if my firmware is newer but there is an option to not allow anonymous connections which DOES prompt you for a password right when you connect. also Im running winvista with no problems using all the features of this camera... Mac im not sure about, i would make sure you use IE though.

Pros: great price for the ammount of features. has a lot of options and everything works as advertised. all around great product and the web interface is pretty decent IMO.

Cons: IR Night vision has an AUTO option that i assume would turn on the IR when there is no light but I havnt got it to work, it does have a schedule mode that works good though. Web interface requries ActiveX controls that only work right with IE web browser on a desktop PC. ABS doesnt offer the activeX controls for windows mobile so getting to control/view the feed from your phone is a pain! it can be done with skyfire if you disable security but still you have limited functionality from your windows mobile phone, basically you can only view and not control the PTZ. When using IE mobile you cannot view the video feed but can use the PTZ.. go figure.

Overall Review: I'm very pleased with this camera. Easy to install and setup, almost no software required everything is web based. got it working via WAN/LAN with my router no problem. Its made for windows and IE thats for sure. Pan/tilt is kind of loud but it doesnt bother me.
