Pros: Cheap, comes with a cable with 4 pin at one end and 6 pin on the other. Card has one 4 and one 6 pin extenal port. No driver disk. It uses via chipset and driver is built into Windows. Works great with recent Mandriva and Ubuntu.

Cons: No cons.

Caution, Version 5

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: It arrived quickly and does work.

Cons: They are now selling v. 5 of this router, which has 1/2 the ram of previous versions of the wrt54g. If you want use alternate firmware, don't buy this one.

Decent, but locked up tight

Seagate Expansion 1TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive

Pros: Nice look, it works.

Cons: This is a typical external drive that has no screws or anyway to open it. once the harddrive inside dies, the entire thing is trash. you would have to drill it open and destroy the case to open it.

WARNING!!! NOT 1920X1080 ACTUALLY 1376X768

HP Pavilion 15.6" Intel Core i7-2670QM 6GB Memory DDR3 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit A6Y02UA#ABA

Pros: None, really. It's just another HP laptop. It looks like a Mac and it runs windows.

Cons: This is not a full HD laptop. Resolution on the model I received is a pathetic 1376x768. You have to contact support directly to return this laptop. I'm in the process of doing that now. They have asked for model, serial, and UPC number that I just provided. Newegg customer support is awesome, so I expect no issues getting a refund. Will report back later....

Works with Linux 2.6

TRENDnet 6-Port USB2.0/FireWire Combo PCI Adapter Model TFU-H33PI
TRENDnet 6-Port USB2.0/FireWire Combo PCI Adapter Model TFU-H33PI

Pros: Nice card, does what it should. Works with default mandriva 2007 kernel. Has floppy power connector to help power devices plugged into the card.

Cons: No headers inside, just a standard usb and a standard firewire port internal. You will have to rig it if your case has front ports that need headers to connect.

Totally OEM

Pros: Nice drive, burns fast in many formats

Cons: Comes packed in a bag with nothing else. Sure, I have enough copies of nero express already, but it still caught me off guard.
