One thing to note...
Pros: Great HTPC motherboard. I had a microATX, but with all the tuner cards I wanted something bigger plus it has built onboard Digital Audio out (sweet). That was the main reason for going with this product.
Cons: NO FIREWIRE! - First let me note that I don't use firewire, however other people that might use it for a connection to a Cable STB might need this. For completeness I wish I had this, but not really a big deal.
Nice case, dead power supply
Pros: Nice size, decent button quality
Cons: Power supply died after 1 week... It doesn't use normal microATX power supply, so I'm going to have to see if I can find a replacement. Other than that for the price it's ok.
Skipthis version of the keyboard.
Pros: New keys feel nice - finally the insert, home and page up keys are in the right place.
Cons: The space bar is useless, it takes 5 times the mount of pressure necessary to press down on this key to register a button press. Don't waste your money.
Overall Review: I've had the natureal multimedia keyboard for years. Much better
Not Perfect, but not bad
Pros: Very clean design, The layout is very different, but I dig it. Overall you can tell it's high quality.
Cons: Couple things wrong with this guy, 1.) It is suppose to come with a usb converter cable with for the media center IR receiver. It didn't come with one, however nmediapc's tech support responded within a day and is shipping me a new one. 2.) The power supply location is as far away as possible from my motherboard's 12 volt supply hookup. I'm going to have to figure out how to solve that one. 3.) It said that it supported microATX powersupply. Well the mounting holes do not line up for that.
Overall Review: Honestly I know my cons list is pretty long, but I would totally buy this product again. Looks very sharp. Worth the trouble.
