Pros: Worked great right out of the box. Great picture on all inputs. Easy to set up. Price was right. Received from Newegg day after I ordered. Can't do better than that.

Cons: One stuck pixel on light off. Easy to fix via tapping technique. Not enough to subtract an egg.

Overall Review: Newegg again came through with overnight shipping even at the standard ground rate. Great products at great prices and great service. Thats why they are always my first choice for any computer component I need.

Pros: Drive works great with all types of media. Plays BDs without problem and with good quality.

Cons: Will not wake from S3 standby on my Vista 64 Ultimate OS computer. My other optical drive wakes up just fine. If I find it is not a drive problem I would give it 5 eggs.

Pros: Inexpensive. Will stream standard DVD movies from NAS using XBMC without a problem.

Cons: From the data provided in the marketing information I was led to believe this unit would stream HD video without problem. In fact I found that the unit could not stream 1080P HD without constant freezing and buffering about every 15-20 sec. After much tinkering and exasperation I did a basic internet speed test and found that the maximum speed on a wired network was 10mps which is not enough to stream a 1080P video. My conclusion is that the processor and lan interface is not up to the task. Since my basic requirement could not be met by this unit I returned it to Matricom for refung.

Overall Review: I was also not pleased that to use it satisfactorily with NETFLIX or XBMC I would have to purchase another remote to the tune of $30-$50.

Pros: None that I can attest to. I never got one to function.

Cons: These boards were manufactured in China and the quality was really pathetic for a board with the Intel name on it. The first one I got was DOA and would not even power up. The second one worked for an hour and then would not post or enter the bios menu. I surrender. I will look for another board to meet my needs. I have had good luck with Abit and Gigabyte.
