 Dissapointing at best! Mar 24, 2008
Well I would agree with the other 2 reviews by users written before me. Wish I had read those before I bought it:[ Anyways... I don;y have Vista so I can't validate the VISTA problems, but I had some of my own. The readings were not even CLOSE to being accurate, the manual that came with this to "HELP" you install the item is a JOKE at best! The one thing it doesn't lack is a shortage or wires hehehe. Gobs and Gobs of wires... I guess the ONLY thing that worked on this product as it said (as far as I could tell), were the card reader functions. Though I don't have a card of every type to test, the 3 types I did have did work properly. Essentially its alot cheaper to just go to TechRepublic's site, or Cnet, and download a FREE temperature monitoring program; if your MOBO didn't already come with one. Buy a simple fan adjusting relay panel for like $9 in a computer part store... And for the card read part, I bought a 9 in 1 card reader (external) that just plugs into a USB port for $3.99 from Microcenter. It seems that this "Type" of product in general doesn't have a very good track record. Reading NewEgg customer reviews on similar items, they consistently have major problems; from compatibility to just down right working hehehe!
PLEASE: Anyone who has this product, write a review also! I think if I had seen more reviews it would've swayed me more into not buying this product to begin with !
Terrible instructions and no driver for Vista Jan 21, 2008
The instruction book leaves something to be desired... it basically comes without them.
The manufacturer site says it is Vista supported which is why I bought it. I installed it and Vista installs it as an 'unknown device'. I went to their site and all the downloads are for XP or earlier so I contacted support. They don't even have a Vista driver. I've never actually had a hardware company trick me into buying something when they don't even have a driver for it. Their response was "I'm forwarding this to engineering" and then nothing else; ever.
It's a pain to hook up and it doesn't work if you use Vista so I would stay away if you plan to upgrade or already have it.

 There are Better Options Dec 28, 2005
Bought this unit to put USB and audio ports on the front panel of my 2 year old tower case, plus having speed control of the noisy CPU fan would be nice.
The good news, audio ports worked fine. The rest is bad, no speed control on my 3 wire fan, and the USB ports only worked as USB 1, even though rear ports are USB 2.0. Geeks.com ignored my request for an RMA, so I'm SOL.
What I should have done (in hindsight of course) is simply buy an updated tower case with the front ports and audio already installed. To be honest, it would have been less work and faster to relocate my motherboard and hardware to the new case vs cleanly running and tie wrapping the multitude of wires this thing comes with. Cost would not have been much different for a basic case with front ports.
