Pros: Great system and setup. Runs's my 2x 5160s w/48gb of ram surprisingly quiet (when it starts up it sounds like a helicopter taking off but then quiets down) and cool. No problems installing Win 2008R2 Hyper-V or Linux. I have 5 Win servers running concurrently.

Cons: Expandable to another 4 drives, except this costs about $400 additional and the disk board does not come with any ribbon cables so it's impossible to use! (Asus support told me that they don't sell the cage and card w/cabling, btw. I wonder if they actually have any buyers?)

Overall Review: I have 4 300GB WD 10K rpm drives and wanted to add a couple 1TB drives for shared drives but the expandability is problematic. For 500 more you can upgrade to the 8 drive version with a board that doubles the memory and the larger power supply, which is probably worth the price.

Pros: Nice AMD motherboard. Easy to install and software is great for fine-tuning settings. Great feature-set for the price.

Cons: Not sure if this is Asus or Corsair's fault (CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified 80 PLUS), but 7 months after flawlessly working, the PC would just shut down w/o warning - no BSOD, no nothing. At first it would just hang at an odd time (I don't do any gaming; just remoting in to my office PC and some programming/DBA stuff). After a couple weeks, I decided to take a look. AMD Phenom II X6 1075T Thuban 3.0GHz which had the stock fan had 1/3 paste removed. Re-seated. Probs continued. Purchased new CPU and memory, thinking could be one of those gone bad, and again after 1 week, the PC would shut down. PS I figured. Removed all cables but the 12V by the CPU (8pin). Couldn't get it out w/o pliers and screwdriver. Sure enough, 3 pins melted. Wierd! Tossed the PS and put in a 900W for overkill. Bought another Asus M4A88TD-V (hate to reinstall software) from NewEgg and looks like am back in Biz. But Asus won't honor warranty. Repeated calls.

Overall Review: Little long, sorry. First time in 26 years of messing and building/rebuilding PCs that I've run into this issue. Shouldn't have thrown away the PS... I'm not so much disenthralled with being out $100 for the MB (or the extra CPU and memory now) as I am with trying to figure out what was the root cause. Guess I'll never know... Asus? Corsair? Microsoft? Ex-Wife???

Pros: After a few correctable missteps pretty easy to learn to fly, provided you have good line of sight and it's not too windy. Came in like-new condition, and put together w/o issue even though this was a refurbished unit. I haven't checked nor edited the recorded video yet. Comes with an 8gb sim and replaced with a 64gb. Took many still pix's and a couple vids from about 150 feet up, above the tree-line, and those looked great on the phone. For $400, I think it's a great first drone. And maybe one and only!

Cons: Documentation not outstanding but lots of stuff online. Feather those controls and start slow before you send it up to Icarus levels!. Phone hookup is passable. Probably better to use with a tablet if you're going to fly out of line-of-sight. Once you get out of range, have fun!

Pros: Handles not only TV but most video formats -- including MKV. I don't know what the other reviewer spec'd out; all you need do is download the Win 7 or 8 Video drivers to get all of these formats available on a pass-thru basis. That said, some formats in 1080p won't be viewable. So downsize.

Cons: I bought this for $179. It would be a good value for about $59 IMO (honest or not) but $179 was way over-priced and rather quickly reduced it $100 or so. Story of my life with PCs... The remote was difficult to work with right from the get-go, until I replaced the batteries. Go figure. Wish they would update the software for the hardware, too. Sometimes (well about 50% of the time) you need to restart the system to get the signal and video to handshake properly, which is a bit of a pain, but it does work the second time around. All said, it might be less frustrating to just use a cable box.

Pros: Nice size, feature set, works with every game I own (Solitaire I guess). Bought it for the cores and Adobe apps.

Cons: The $75 in-game offer that was included in the package actually expired April 30, 2013. It's now June 26th. I guess no one checks the little print.

Overall Review: Great card to waste $200 on. I mean that seriously. All my gamer friends think I'm an idiot for spending money on these more powerful graphic cards every 3 or so years when I don't game with them. But I use this computer for work and if it saves me 10 minutes a day or keep my eyesight from going buggy, it's worth the investment.

Pros: Had this card since March and firmware and software updates have improved functionality. When the cable card is paired correctly works great. Ceton support is excellent. Provides HD and prem channels (HBO) viewing/recording w/in Media Center, and can use one or more of the 4 recording interfaces to use on another PC (like a laptop) to view TV while on same home network.

Cons: I too bought this card from another vendor for $400; wish I would have waited for Newegg because the price wasn't justified. Card occasionally loses signal esp when coming out of sleep mode and requires a warm boot to get back to normal. Had a lot of problems when I moved getting things working again. Some channels just don't get picked-up for some reason or another while the STB gets them fine. Media Center isn't perfect, either.

Overall Review: I have Comcast and most of their techs are lost in space when it comes to figuring out cable cards, but they are getting better and this helps. Piece of advice: keep calling until you get a tech that knows what they're doing and don't pay the $30 for an onsite person -- waste of money and your time.
