Works as described

Coboc HA-HMSPL-1X2PT 2 Port 1 x 2 1.5ft Pigtail Cable HDMI Amplified Splitter/Signal Distributor w/ 3D HDCP 1080P Support
Coboc HA-HMSPL-1X2PT 2 Port 1 x 2 1.5ft Pigtail Cable HDMI Amplified Splitter/Signal Distributor w/ 3D HDCP 1080P Support

Pros: Cheap and it does what it supposed to do.

Cons: So far... None.

Overall Review: I used this to split the video from my gaming PC to another PC with a capture card. My capture card could not capture 1080 @ 60hz so I had to use 720P. The splitter did it's job. I'm not sure if it is the splitter, but it would not send audio thru the HDMI. I don't use the audio from HDMI normally so I don't know.

Most Critical Review

Bad SSD!

OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G

Pros: Could be fast, if it worked.

Cons: Worked fine for half of Win7 install, then would freeze up for 3-5 minutes before continuing. Managed to complete install, then the drive would freeze and the HD light would stay on. Then the system would no longer recognize the drive. I tried this drive in 2 other working systems with the same results.

Overall Review: Tried to RMA back to Newegg, but was refused because I no longer had the retail packaging. Buyer be ware! Buy at your own risk!

This card ROCKS!

Pros: Fast... Even in surround. 3 (mini) HDMI outputs with no adapters.

Cons: High price... But worth it.

Overall Review: I started out with a Radeon HD 6950 on (3) 27" 1080p monitors in Eyefinity. I upgraded my media room to (3) 43" LED HDTV's, but the 6950 would not connect to 3 HDMI inputs, even with adapters. I was forced to use 1 VGA analog port. So, I upgraded to the Sapphire HD7950 Flex Edition. I thought the Flex edition would work with the (3) HDMI inputs, but not fully. I was stuck having to use the Analog VGA again. Then, I found this card with the 3 HDMI outputs and it works BEAUTIFULLY!!! In surround mode, it's still has a very smooth frame rate at very high settings. I was planning on running 2 of these in SLI, but so far I have not had any frame rate issues using just one. BF3 is a blast on (3) 43" HDTV's. (I still use the controller while sitting on a comfortable loveseat)

Great Little USB Drive!

Pros: So very small. 8GB can store a lot of MP3's.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I have a USB plug (outlet?) in the console of my car for playing stored music on my car stereo. This thing is so small it's hardly noticeable. I was worried about a normal sized USB drive bending or breaking off if it was hit by something in my console. Not with this little drive.
