Works fine

BIOSTAR NF44XA7COMBVGA1 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX Motherboard / VGA Combo
BIOSTAR NF44XA7COMBVGA1 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX Motherboard / VGA Combo

Pros: Worked without any problems. Installed an AMD 64 3000+ with 1.5gb of memory. Runs fine.

Cons: Doesn't perform as well as I thought on benchmarks. I wasn't expecting a gaming rig but I did expect the nVidia 7100gs to perform better then the aging 6600 that was in the system, it didn't.

Overall Review: System runs stable and works for what I needed it for.

Works Great

Pros: Works great. I'm loving Eyefinity across 3 24" Asus monitors. So far I have been playing L4D2, TF2, SC2, and DCU Online at 1920x1080 without any issues and graphics turned all the way up.

Cons: If you alt-tab by accident out of a game, you can't alt-tab back in with Eyefinity. The screens just go black. I didn't deduct anything because that would be a driver issue, not a hardware fault.

Overall Review: Overall I am very pleased. I will be buying another one when the price drops to run in Crossfire. Once you go Eyefinity, I don't think you could ever go back. Make sure you have a power supply that can provide the voltage/wattage needed. Cheap PS's need not apply.

Works Great

Pros: Works with Eyefinity and not very expensive.

Cons: None

Fine Enclosure

Pros: Small, came with screwdriver for the tiny screws you use. Worked great with the 80gb hdd from my laptop. A fine enclosure for the price.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The blue LED if really bright. Not really a con, just distracting if you don't point the drive in another direction.

Works for me

Rosewill RC-200 PCI IDE (ATA) Silicon Image RAID (0/1/0+1/JBOD) Host Controller Card

Pros: I haven't had any problems. I installed it in a BSD pc using 4 20gb hdd's in a raid 0. Configuration was easy and quick.

Cons: None so far, Have had it running 24/7 for 2 months so far.

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this for critical applications or data, but to add some more IDE ports so you can use those old IDE drive laying around, I think it works fine.

Like having 500 floppys in your pocket.

Pros: Works fine. Transfer rate is fine, not blazing, but faster then some.

Cons: Does pick up lint if you put it in your pocket. Cap slips off too easy.

Overall Review: It does its job and hasn't given me any problems and I can't complain about the price.
