Noctua NF-A8 PWM 80mm Case Fan
Pros: -Comes with rubber mounts and has rubber insert on the corner so it can be attached on the case with screws and still have anti-vibration quality -Comes with a Y-adapter for putting 2 fans together -All hardware included -Comes with extension cable Comes with a speed reducing cable to limit max speed
Cons: Cost a few bucks more than the others.
Overall Review: This is one of the best fans I have bought recently, very quit for the small size.
Hard to get Download Speed
Pros: Wifi Card
Cons: Can not get device to cannot at full speed, often <100 when it should connect at much higher rate
Overall Review: No, poor performance
So Far Very Satisfied
Pros: More Options than I can use as home user only to back up several computers and bunch of data. Software interface is very easy to use. Comes with a backup software that worked well on my first test. I got it set up on the network easy enough as with little effort and all my computers accessed it. I have only experimented with 1 drive before I buy the full build out of hard drives, network speed seems reasonable with only 2 GIG of memory and my test backup did not take long, I did not put a timer on it but moving on from an old windows server, I was pretty happy. I got the 4 bay so I could set up a 10 raid array, will update after I get the entire build out complete. Seems like a good by, bit cheaper than my next choice from Synology. I really like the dimmer function on front panel lights, there is a bunch of them but I hate blue LEDs and the ability to dim them with out putting tape over them is awesome.
Cons: None at this time
Works as expected.
Pros: Great price for the processor inside
Cons: Needs a real hard drive, the boot and response time is slow with the slow hard drive
Overall Review: I was planning on installing a SSD, so that should help. Computer plus SSD cost will still be a great value.
ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6 LGA 1151
Pros: Nice Mother board, lots of flashing lights! If you want to show off, make sure you have a clear panel on the case. ASRock has a great bios set up and update, worked perfect.
Cons: If you plug a board into the last PCIEX slot, it looks yto be hard to plug in the connectors on the edge of the board.
DOA
Pros: Looks like a nice computer and great components for the price
Cons: DOA on First device, would not boot only flash the keypad back light for .25 seconds. Charged it until charge light turned blue, still no boot. Returned for replacement.
Overall Review: Update: Excellent return policy, got new replacement in about 3.5 weeks. New one is working great. Very fast and connects to network AC router over 800 Mbps! So far very happy in the first week.
