Pros: Longevity! I've had this card since Aug 2008 and it still works like a champ. Saves money on heating bills! No need to run central heating with this card! Heck, get 2 and Crossfire for even more cost efficiency! Computers are cheaper to run than central heaters (and you were gonna leave the computer on anyway). Still runs modern games! I'm not so sure about reviews before claiming high settings because they don't report the resolution. I run 1920x1080 and I have to do Medium - some High for Skyrim and Low for Saints Row IV or it gets choppy. LoL gets great FPS though, heh.

Cons: Runs very hot. Fan is very loud when spinning over 50% speed. Only 512MB. There is a 1GB version out there, I'd say get that one if possible. Drivers WERE a problem for Borderlands (1) and Rage. Driver support ended for 4000 series at version 13-1 so if there are any new driver problems that arise, too bad.

Overall Review: I joke about the crazy high temps but it really says something about the quality of the card. Before I got MSI Afterburner software to control the fan with, it would normally run the fan at about 20% during idle which would yield idle temps of 80C-90C! I ran this card for nearly 5 years at those temps before getting MSIAB and it still works!

Pros: It was... Uhh... It still powers on?

Cons: Ok, so it began with blue screens. At least once a week. Then, things randomly stopped working (drivers, software). The hard drives installed read 100% health and performance from HD Sentinel. I once ran a chkdsk to troubleshoot and the problem was WORSE after it completed. After the chkdsk, the video card driver stopped working and when I tried to reinstall it, it failed with a message about extraction errors if I use the .exe from nVidia's site and just fails to install the driver if I extract it on another PC and run it from the setup files directly. Also the onboard LAN is dead. It claims there is no cable plugged in, and when I try to reinstall the drivers, it fails during the extraction process with CRC errors (I think there is a theme here). I installed another NIC for now.

Overall Review: Yeah I'm writing a negative review on a discontinued product. What you gonna do?

Pros: -Long life! I bought this exact model in 2004 (will it say Verified Owner? I'll find out. It's in my Order History) and it still works!

Cons: -10/100 Mbps only. There are a multitude of 10/100/1000 switches on the market for about the same price, including another Linksys. -Smaller than the WRT54G. It came with a conversion kit to allow it to stack on the other Linksys gear of the same generation, but it just wasn't the same.

Overall Review: When I do PC-to-PC file transfers, it does about 9-10 MBps and makes any other internet use impossibly slow. Then I did the calculation and realized that 9-10 MBps is just about the cap for a 10/100 switch so...that's why, duh.

Pros: An improvement over HDD speeds. My Core 2 system with DDR2 loads games as fast or faster than an i5 with DDR3 and WD Black HDD I bought this drive just after the WD flood - I needed a boot/apps drive and I had a choice between a $100 500GB HDD or $130 128GB SSD...

Cons: Well... HD Sentinel finally dropped the health of this drive from 100% to 97%. I know, sound the alarms... But the big picture is bigger than that. I've been having issues with Windows running a pre-boot chkdsk about once a month on this drive, and finding corrupt files and such. Occasionally, after completion, it will boot and have corrupt drivers, broken applications or other issues. Usually, I've been able to do a system restore and solve the issue, but not this last time. The last time, whatever data got lost, was unrepairable (AND it made any internet-related application, like a browser, unusable). I had to re-install Windows.

Overall Review: I realize it seems kinda moot to do a review on a discontinued product... But these things are probably still floating around elsewhere. To suppliment my problem in the cons section... I really didn't want to reformat the thing and I tried many things: -Doing a system restore -Using SFC -Using a live CD to replace what I thought were the corrupt/missing files -Using the Windows install CD to do a full repair by using "upgrade" -Other stuff I may have forgotten I'm probably going to go search for the firmware now, since reading the review replies reminded me of that. Hopefully, that can prevent future issues, or else this drive will be RMA'd.

Pros: I have owned many WD drives, all of which are still running. I have 2x 1TB drives (Green, Black), 1x 500GB drive (Blue), and 1x 80GB drive (old model, no color name). I just recently picked up a new 500GB Blue before the price hike could take effect. Newegg prices were already raised, but "MC" hadn't yet.

Cons: No cons for the drive. DOA items are not a con or a reason to give a 1/5 rating. DOA just happens, so RMA and get it replaced. The prices are usually good so I'm not going to list the current price as a con because...see below.

Overall Review: Ok, I have to say this about the other reviews that don't know why the hard drive prices skyrocketed... For those who don't know, there has been flooding in Thailand which affected the WD and Seagate plants. The WD plant is closed as of this writing and Seagate is running but claims there will be shortages. While this may not affect all HDD manufacturers, the other ones are probably taking advantage of the price jump to make some extra money (or all drives are made in these plants). The point is... It isn't Newegg's fault that HDD prices are high and no, it is NOT because of Christmas season. If you don't like it, then you can TRY and find a cheap one elsewhere or buy a used one or wait until the prices come back down again (could be months).

Pros: It's cheap if you know where to look. It can also come in other colors (we have a red one, the in-laws have a white one). HDMI works. Coaxial works.

Cons: I will agree with the previous comment (what I could understand anyway). The resolutions an older video card with this TV tries to accomplish are just mind-boggling. The best I could do was some ???? by ??? resolution (I don't even remember it!) and it still has a black border around the edges - which is the better alternative to having the resolution larger than the screen size. This was with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter. On VGA, it's another monster. While it does play a bit nicer with resolutions and will do 1280x720 properly, it has this little quirk. This little quirk (and by little I mean huge) is that when Windows puts the screen in power-saving mode, it will cease function - can't turn it off or on, can't change the input source. To fix this, the TV has to be UNPLUGGED from the wall, then plugged in again and powered on. Very inconvenient. This seems to only happen on VGA, not HDMI.

Overall Review: My advice for the buyer concerning this product is "have low standards". If you are just wanting a cheap TV for a guest room, workout room, game room, garage, whatever - This TV will probably work. As for longevity, we have owned it for about 6 months now and had no problems with it yet, but my Samsung still has about 2 years on it.
