Pros: This was my first build from scratch. This board is the perfect platform to build anything from a full sized media center to a mid range gaming rig. 6Gb SATA and USB 3.0 are good selling points too. The board is sturdy and has no flex under the weight of a full HD 5770 and a CM Hyper 212. i could not be happier with this purchase.

Cons: None that I can see.

Overall Review: It is SO blue.

Pros: Easy install. PCI. Got mine cheap

Cons: First thing, the drivers were terrible. Downloaded new drivers from Nvidia and seemed to work fine. Then every time I opened a .wmv my machine would crash. Went back to old drivers - same thing. Drop down the resolution - no help. New codecs - nothing. I tried everything to get it to not be so buggy, but to no avail. The final straw was when I noticed a few streaks of fuzzy text while reading. Switched back to onboard video and .wmv and text issues cleared right up.

Overall Review: This card looked to be the answer to my prayers. Upgrading an older computer to use a bigger monitor for no more than web browsing and watching videos. It turned into a month long nightmare. I cannot recommend this card for any purpose.

Pros: Plenty of connection options. Wish I could say more.

Cons: If you have Win7 64bit and try to install this card, there is a 50% chance that it will not be recognized. Windows will display the card as an unknown multimedia device and when you try to load the drivers whether it is from the CD or Hauppauges website, it will tell you COMPATIBLE HARDWARE NOT FOUND. Search those words and HVR and you will find several other people complaining about this and some of the other HVR series cards. Hauppauge still has no answer for this and I can only assume that they consider it a non-issue.

Overall Review: I have owned other Hauppauge cards and have had good fortune with this company. This one is a dud for my system though. After two weeks of scouring the web, I have gotten nowhere with either of the 2250s I purchased.

Pros: Works without a problem. What a great little gadget. Adds two headers and two USB ports to the inside of my case. Perfect for blue tooth or wifi dongles or a hidden thumb drive or anything USB powered that you want to keep stashed away. Very nice construction and the sleeved cables look nice and clean.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Not a con, but the velcrro mounting may turn some people off this little board. It makes it idiot proof and easy to mount anywhere in the case, but seems cheap. But once it is mounted; who cares?

Pros: It is just what it looks like. A small medium/heavy duty extension cord.

Cons: Cord is pretty short and it is not a surge suppressor. But you can tell that from the sales description.

Pros: This recorder works just the way you want it to. Built in digital tuner, records back and forth between VHS and DVD and has plenty of options. Phillips knows how to make a sturdy machine that is mostly user friendly.

Cons: None for me.

Overall Review: The onscreen menues can be a little confusing. Less tech savy users my find it difficult to manage, so keep that in mind if buying this as a gift.
