Diamond XtremeSound 7.1/24 bit Sound Card ( XS71 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I left Creative's sound blaster USB because they did not support Vista; I searched Amazon and found The Diamond by searching for "Vista sound Cards", I ordered it overnight, it arrived, but the software did not work with Vista although the generic windows driver does.

I called Diamond, because the card inside said "Do not return to vendor call us first."I did and was told, impatiently, that the box did not say Vista and that I should return it to Amazon.

So I am going to keep it, it does work, where the Creative did not.I received about half of what I thought I had bought.

Amazon showed this under a Vista search, Diamond was rude.The hassel of returning it and starting over, is too much.

So Cavet Emptor - be careful, make sure it is what you want, if it does not say Vista do not buy it no matter what the website claims.

Diamond has performed well in the past.

And, yes, I should have been more careful, I was too easily misled, by my pressing need for sound, and my desire to get on with it.

Dell Gx270 SFF Desktop Computer, Fast Intel 2.80 GHz, 512GB DDR Memory, Large 40 HDD, DVD/CD Play both DVD's and CD's, Keyboard/Mouse Included, XP Pro installed with COA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered this last week because I needed a really cheap back up PC. You get the slim tower, power plug, usb keyboard and optical mouse. Windows xp is pre-installed without service pack 2 and my order came with a dvd/cd player installed but no rewriter. All i can say is that it works. If you're looking for a basic pc to just browse the net and download music and videos(no hd) then it's fine. Obviously you'll want to upgrade the ram, video card, and hard drive if you plan on making this your main pc but for something cheap to hop online and do some stuff it's great. While the 2.8 pentium 4 processor is ancient it gets the job done for basic tasks. I'm still amazed that this only cost $65 before shipping. I've seen people on craigslist selling old models like this for $100 and more.

Lenovo Ideacentre Q150 Series 40814AU Desktop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for a home theater PC to watch downloaded videos on my LCD TV.I had looked at the Mac Mini and other options, but chose to buy this.It has the same nVidia 9400M graphics as the Mac Mini and it's about the same size (maybe smaller).The only difference between the two (other than $350 in price) is that the Ideacentre uses a dual core Atom instead of a Core 2 Duo processor.

The dual core Atom D510 is surprisingly zippy.With the ION graphics, it has no trouble handling 1080p video (x264 with DTS for example).Out of the box HDMI video with audio over HDMI worked like a charm.It was really plug and play.Has optical digital audio out on the front (SPDIF) if you need it.Runs quiet.Even has the VESA bracket to mount it to the back of your LCD TV!

The included remote is very good overall.Took me a few minutes to realize that the USB transceiver was stored in the battery compartment of the remote.Once I found it and plugged it in, it worked great.Only (trivial) complaint is that there are no function keys.

If you need a small HTPC that will play anything, give this little guy some serious consideration!
