Pros: I hooked it up to my ATI 4870 for a second connection to my Samsung LN21A450. For some reason the HDMI adapter that came with the card didn't like to output 1360x768, but this adapter works and it does so through DVI>VGA.

Cons: The DVI pins do NOT look like they do in the picture. It is a DVI-A to VGA connector. Doesn't seem to affect anything, but one egg down for the clear mislabel.

Pros: Works great for all situations except below:

Cons: Does NOT like 64 bit computers with over 3Gb ram. Freezes my 64 bit Win7 RC1 with 4Gb ram. Do a google search of "ralink rt61 freeze" and you'll see a lot of people are having this problem. Common solutions are to 1. pull RAM (no thank you) 2. use old ralink drivers for this chipset (they're noticably slower - no thank you) or 3. wait until ralink publishs new drivers. But why wait - just buy another product if you are in this situation.

Pros: Revived an old Sony Vaio bought May 2005. Using HDTune I saw the R/W speeds double from the 6 year old original 80gb drive.

Cons: Cost per Gb is relatively high.

Overall Review: Used a clonezilla live cd to clone the old drive's contents over. This is ok because the hardware obviously didn't change.

Pros: It's big, but not huge, so I think this is in a sweet spot for size. Those people referring to this as "huge" never used a 24-27" monitor before. The colors are good, but not earth-shattering good. If you want a monitor with colors that make you tingle buy an Apple Cinema display or another IPS. The stand is fine. The cables are maybe 3-4 feet in length (sufficient for me), and it comes with DVI *and* VGA. This is not something all manufacturers provide.

Cons: Buttons seem cheap, but you'll only notice this when you dial in your settings preferences. Something I was not expecting was that all the various presents and configurations can make the picture look vastly different. It's up to the end user to figure out what works for them. I'm not about to dole out hard earned money for a calibration device. Also, I use F.lux so my colors change with the time of day anyways....

Overall Review: Not sure if this is a pro or con, but yes the thing is bright. I have my brightness @15/100. I didn't bother with the speakers...you probably shouldn't either.

Pros: Second one works as expected (plug and play in win7 64bit).

Cons: First one could not install correctly, so I RMA-ed for a new one. This basically added $5 (shipping) to the cost of the card.

Overall Review: Cannot attest to reliability yet, but I don't foresee issues. Speed bottleneck for server transfers is now due to the hard drive interface (this is a good thing).

Pros: Switched to Gbit LAN with this and my home server download speeds went from 10-12MB/s to ~70MB/s, which is expected since the server has a spinning drive. I essentially traded bottlenecks from the router LAN speed to the HDD on the server. You would need an SSD (on both ends) to top this baby out.

Cons: I feel like parading the fact that increased my LAN speed seven fold but this would be pretty nerdy.

Overall Review: Plug and play. Connect one ethernet between this and the router and your devices to this.
