Looks like a nice piece, I've seen from avsforum that most guys recommend just getting a better video card with component out, which may actually be cheaper, since I can get an nVidia 6200 card with HDTV/component out for $110 CDN, versus $120US for the Crescendo card. I just have to make sure my mobo has a PCI Express port on it...
one feature i really like about the external model is that it has a vga breakout which allows me to use my monitor to tweak the settings (since the vga breakout mirrors the signal going to the tv) w/o having to swap cables and whatnot. it's different than something like TwinView, because it's done in the hardware, not software and has nothing to do w/ drivers, etc ... the main reason i got it was because i'm stuck w/ an ATI card and the ATI component dongle (at least for the Radeon 9600) doesn't work in linux, so this was the only way to go ...
