Troubles went away

ASUS Black 4X BD-ROM 8X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BR-04B2T
ASUS Black 4X BD-ROM 8X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BR-04B2T

Pros: Cheap, Works, Quiet

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was having a lot of problems playing BR discs with Corel wiondvd 2010. I thought it was everything but the drive including the SW, the discs and the video card. After messing around for about a year the LG drive finally dropped dead. I replaced it with the Asus and all the problems that I was having playing discs dissappeared. I should have suspected the component with the moving parts first. Duh

Rosewill RDDO-13001 – Dual Bay 2.5" & 3.5" Docking Station – SATA USB 3.0 & eSATA, Rigid Aluminum Casing and Internal Plastic Shield, Black
Rosewill RDDO-13001 – Dual Bay 2.5" & 3.5" Docking Station – SATA USB 3.0 & eSATA, Rigid Aluminum Casing and Internal Plastic Shield, Black

Pros: Works perfectly on USB

Cons: Only one drive on eSata. Slow drive to drive copy over the USB ATA ATAPI Bridge.

Overall Review: Bought the open box one before I saw the new one. Stuck 2 2-gig Seagates into it and turned it on. Both drives popped up on the desktop right away. Like I said slow drive 1 to drive 2 copying. About 60 gigs in 30 minutes. Somewhat faster drive 1 or 2 to an internal sata. About 88 Gig in 11 minutes. The drives both sleep in USB mode when the computer is put to sleep. Which is great. Otherwise they spin and stay warm. For a little over $20 bucks I''m happy.

Cooler Master Seidon 120M - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan
Cooler Master Seidon 120M - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan

Pros: Cheap if the rebate goes through Not too loud 10 degrees cooler than Intel stock cooler on i5 4670K in Cooler Master N200 case/

Cons: Screws to short and strip the fan shrouding easily

Overall Review: Couldn't get the supplied screws to catch the fan housing through the case and fan to save me. Went hardware store and bought some 16-32 1.5 inch machine screws nuts washers and lock washers. Ended up bolting the fan to the case using standard can screws then running the 1.5 inch screws clear through the radiator fins somehow missing any water tubes and bolting it in place with nuts and washers. It's very well attached now. Obviously voided the warranty. I'll keep a close eye on it for a few days. Also, ended up using a Cougar 800-1500 case fan because it's a better fan.

Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCIe - Quad-tuner Card for Watching Digital Cable TV on the PC, PCI-Express x1 Interface
Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCIe - Quad-tuner Card for Watching Digital Cable TV on the PC, PCI-Express x1 Interface

Pros: Does what it supposed to WMC is a reasonably good interface Good video quality. iPad app works well so you don't have disable indexing when using search for solid state drives.

Cons: Takes some time with the Cable Company to set up. Not Ceton's fault.

Overall Review: If you have a lot of splits try adding a digital cable amplifier. After I did that all the problems with pixelation went away.

Good HTPC Card

EVGA 01G-P3-1452-TR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1452-TR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Price Performance Quiet Full HDMI implimentation

Cons: None

Overall Review: First HDMI card that I've had that works properly with HDMI. ATI cards tha I've had (4550) did not fill my old LC45gX's screen completely. This one works well with Corel Win DVD Bluray with full DTSMA sound.
