What's great about it: Nicely built to be installed in a SFF case
What's not so great: Nothing, excellent bit of hardware.
I am in the process of building a Small form factor PC to be used as a hackintosh (MacOS on non-mac hardware). This is mainly being built as an experiment and my goal was to see how hard the process was. After digging into the various compatible Video cards I found exactly one that was not only small enough to fit in the chassis I am using, but came with all the parts needed to replace the backplane.

What's great about it: The price for what you get.
What's not so great: I have nothing bad to say.
No, this is not a gaming graphics card but it can handle everyday PC use with ease. I bought it on sale with a Best Buy points for under $40.00. I can't complain. Best Buy is great in this respect.

What's great about it: easy install, set up, and update drivers
Bought this to replace uncooperative onboard Radeon gpu on new MB.
Install of card and drivers was a snap. After first reboot, NView reported a new version of the driver set was available which downloaded & installed with no issues. The onboard memory gave back 1G to my system (XP) and both system & video are now better than ever. I now see that this is on sale for $15 less. Looks like a trip back to store!

What's great about it: Low price, improved graphics and computer performance
What's not so great: Getting the display to fit the TV it's hooked up to
This was going into a 2-year old computer my dad gave up for dead. He said it was too slow and ended up buying a new one at Best Buy last year (He loves it). When I got it, there were problems with it freezing and sometimes it had trouble with the onboard video drivers. The decision was made to get a video card for that computer. This has an HDMI port for hooking it up to a flatscreen TV and I use it on my 32-inch. The computer seems much faster now. Don't have any games on it but video runs flawlessly.

What's great about it: Great price, easy to install, good for many uses
What's not so great: A little loud, but it really doesn't bother me very much.
This is an excellent graphics card for gaming in its price range. Obviously, because of it's price, it won't seamlessly play Battlefield 3 or Skyrim on extremely high detail, but if you don't mind medium graphics settings, and you don't want to spend too much money, this is an excellent buy. The one problem that the card is a little loud, but it isn't so bad that it will interfere with your gaming, work, movies, or whatever you may be doing with this. It plays blu-ray movies very well too. Buy this card. You'll be glad that you did.

What's not so great: The sound volume of the fan seems quite excessive
I don't understand why the onboard heatsink fan is producing so much whirr noise. If this is normal, then i'm disappointed! My last card ATI 256M Radeon HD 2600 XT blew its fan out, so i shopped around for this card.
The Radeon card seemed a lot quieter (before fan quit)

I found this graphics card to go beyond my expectations being able to run games such as Crysis 1 and 2, Star Wars the Old Republic, and World of Warcraft just short of full graphics on a 1366 x 768 resolution. Like the summary states good graphics card for a great price.

What's great about it: Good price to performance
What's not so great: Incredibly loud
The card is good performance for value when your looking for a budget card, but it is exceptionally loud.
The first day it was whisper quiet, then it became a growling monster of a card. I keep my PC in my bed room, and I have been through several cards over the years, so I am used to the low buzz of a computer fan in my room. I bought this card to upgrade and replace my old card with a broken fan. After the day long silent period, this card was louder than my broken fan card, and I had to shut down my system as I slept.
It was also noticeable through my headphones when I was playing games, over the sound of the game. I though at first that my card was defective, but a littler internet sleuthing showed that this seems to be a common problem.
Unless your going to put this in a room and never go into it, its way, way to loud.
