Datastor Bracket Kit Universal 3.5In HD To 5.25In Bay Review

Datastor Bracket Kit Universal 3.5In HD To 5.25In Bay
Average Reviews:

You had better know how to install this - it is sent without instructions.
You will need first to screw these brackets on the hard drive then you
also must have the guide rails that screw on that to slide the entire
assembly into the bay slot.
It does not have tapped inserts like the cadmium plated item pictured.
Prepare to improvise with larger diameter sheet metal screws if you strip
the threads on this.

ARKVIEW USB-DH88 Multi-Display USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter External Video Card (Link up to 6 Displays) Review

ARKVIEW USB-DH88 Multi-Display USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter External Video Card
Average Reviews:

It's definitely a good value, price-wise, but there are severe limitations with this product.

First of all, it will disable Aero Glass in Vista when this device is connected. This is not necessarily a show-stopper, but it IS annoying. I suppose it makes sense, as the less powerful video "card" the device uses is probably not capable of handling Glass. Oh well.

Major limitation in my mind, however, is its inability to offer widescreen resolutions. The resolutions is offers do NOT include widescreen aspect ratios, which means on my 21" widescreen monitor, all of the display is stretched. This sucks.

Additionally, when my computer puts the display to sleep, when I wake it up, the device "loses" all of its settings and goes back to mirroring my desktop. This is also unacceptable.

Again, you get what you pay for. I decided to go for cheap, and cheap is what I got. Lesson learned.

Cisco-Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch Review

Cisco-Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have a PC upstairs, which is our primary computer, and a Mac downstairs in the tv room.I wanted both to be able to share our broadband Internet service.I looked at several routers, both wired and wireless.It came down to the Linksys (wired version) and SMC Barricade Wireless.I kept coming back to Linksys because a friend owns one and raves about it.
Besides the fact that it looks really cool, it almost took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to set it up.No kidding!Using the QuickStart guide, I was up and running in less than ten minutes.You hook up the necessary cables, restart your computer, log-in to the Linksys website to configure your router, restart your computer again, and you're good to go.
I wasn't as optimistic about setting up my Power Mac G3. However, I was pleasantly surprised and it took me all of about five minutes before I was doing some high-speed surfing on that machine as well.Fortunately, my Mac has an Ethernet port so it was just a matter of attaching the CAT-5 cable from there to the Linksys and setting the TCP/IP control panel to the Ethernet and DHCP options.I saved my configuration, opened up my browser and spent the next two hours high-speed surfing with no problems.
I have no problem recommending the Linksys, especially for its ease of setup on a PC and Mac network.While I would have preferred a wireless setup, they've received mixed reviews and I was concerned about Mac compatibility.After seeing how well my Mac performs with this Linksys, I'm ready to make ours a wired household!

Product Description:
The Linksys EtherFast cable/DSL router connects multiple PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The router can also be configured to block internal users' access to the Internet. A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but the Linksys EtherFast router channels this connection through the full-duplex speed of its built-in EtherFast 10/100 four-port switch. This combination of router and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and serves your network as a completely dedicated, full-duplex backbone. Now your entire network can enjoy broadband Internet connections supported by its switched backbone. This unit requires an external cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet RJ-45 interface. This product comes with a one-year warranty.

Note: All Linksys routers now include a special edition of Norton Internet Security! Claim your free CD-ROM by calling (800) 814-0180, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific, seven days a week.

Belkin FireWire 6-Port Hub (F5U526-APL) Review

Belkin FireWire 6-Port Hub
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I write this review only because the negative reviews almost made me not buy the Belkin FireWire Hub. Alas, the options for such a devise are few and far between and unless you want to order something (instead of picking it up at the store) you have even fewer choices.

So, reluctantly, I picked this up and LO! on my Intel MacBook it was 100% plug and play. No software, no freezing, nothing but sweet FireWire action.

At this very moment I have a LaCie DVD Firewire drive, SeaGate 300GB Firewire drive, MOTU 8Pre Firewire Interface and a Canon DV Recorder all plugged in with one more port to spare. I was having trouble daisy chaining all of them before and so far (a few hours) everything has been running great. If I have any trouble I'll update this review.

My only critique is that the hub is so small and light weight it sort of need to be pinned down, otherwise it'll go where ever the wires take it. Just FYI.

The latest innovation from Belkin delivers six, peer-to-peer FireWire ports that support data throughput of up to 400Mbps.

The Hub also acts as a FireWire repeater, so you can place devicesup to an additional 15 feet (4.5 meters) from other connected FireWire peripherals. Connecting devices to the Hub using 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cables enables them to draw power from the Hub, for even easier setup and operation.

8-inch VGA Video Y Splitter Cable, HD15 Male to two HD15 Female Connectors Review

8-inch VGA Video Y Splitter Cable, HD15 Male to two HD15 Female Connectors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off it worked great and is very nice looking (small). This is the cheapest HDMI switch with 5-port I found, but also the most expense video switch I ever bought also. Component switch only run between 20-50 buck. I use this to switch between the PS3 and DVD up-converter and it is very responsive. Got quick delivery from lusopc.

The manufacture is Monoprice and HDMI Switcher is just the product name. A couple of other manufactures use this same hardware, just slapping their own brand on it. My TV is a 32" Vizio displaying 1080i and see no image lost at all.HDMI 1.3 cable and switch are compatible with older version.Only the devices (PS3, stero reciever) that output that need to be 1.3 compatible.This is not like the USB upgrade to USB2.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just needed a splitter so I could hook up my 19" LCD Tv to my computer so I could watch Hulu and other online stuff while using my elliptical. I only hooked up a 6' VGA, so maybe you might see some signal degredation if you use a longer cable.

Two notes though...my monitors wouldn't display correctly until I updated my graphics card drivers (I have an 8600 GT powering two LCD monitors...then splitting off one to go to the TV).

Also, the main screen is blurry if the cable is not connected at both ends.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this to split my monitor connection to my vizio lcd tv monitor input so I could watch netflix instant view and other things on my tv screen instead of my pc.
My tv isnt far from the pc tower, I understand if you have to go too far it will degrade, mine did not, I purchased this with (Cables To Go - 43098 - 25ft HD15 M/M UXGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio (Black))And it was very easy to hook up to the output on the tower for both pc monitor and the 25 foot cable to tv input.
I wasnt sure it would work after reading reviews for this, but it does and its awesome.I spent a small amt on something that some will pay 2 or 300 for to be already in the lcd tv.

VIP NOTE: you must have everything connected at both ends (not ness'the audio) to see how your screens (both) will appear, at first half way through w/ out the tv end done I thought oh no degradation but it was fine after connecting everything and filling all connections.

If you find you have the right connectors on the tower and tv this will work great but I wouldnt go much longer then I did incase it degrades.

My pc is two years old (pre vista) so its not as fast as the vista machines had to be yet it runs it fine, I think my pc has a pre installed nivida card?

Anyway it works great do some googling and find out whats needed and if this is it, it works fine ;O)
