Most Favorable Review

Great tiny case

LIAN LI Black Aluminum PC-Q15B Mini ITX Media Center / HTPC Case
LIAN LI Black Aluminum PC-Q15B Mini ITX Media Center / HTPC Case

Pros: It is made of high quality materials. This is my third Lian Li case, for good reason. The side panels come off easily.

Cons: There is no 20-pin USB connector. Instead, the front panel has two female connectors that come out the back of the case through a slot and connect to the back USB ports. Not a terrible thing considering how minimalist the case is (which is the point with a HTPC).

Most Critical Review

Neither of the two work

BYTECC DPDVI-06 6 ft. Black Display Port to DVI Cable Male to Male
BYTECC DPDVI-06 6 ft. Black Display Port to DVI Cable Male to Male

Pros: None.

Cons: Does not work with my Samsung Syncmasters. What a waste of money. Bought two of these. They do not work with any of my monitors.

Perfect

BELKIN E2D3500 Powerline AV500 Kit Up to 500Mbps

Pros: It simply works. I've used these devices in many different outlets in my 5000 sq ft house. No problems. It is much faster than wireless. Going to order some more.

Cons: None, besides not being able to buy just one instead of a set of two.l

Love this processor

Pros: It runs cool, handles home theater/media center functions and gaming quite well, and is affordable.

Cons: None.

Great product

Kodak EasyShare M1020 10.2" 800 x 480 Digital Photo Frame w/ Home Décor Kit

Pros: Easy to use interface, bright display, quality look and finish. Made a great gift for my mother, uses all of the things she's gotten used to (kodak camera, usb thumb drives, and memory cards).

Cons: It would be nice to have more internal memory and wireless LAN connectivity (but I'm not sure that any of these have that feature yet).
