Gread for DJ PCs
Pros: Can fit in a small DJ rig with ease. I used these cases for my smaller DJ rigs. Smallest 2u I can find
Cons: wish it was just an inch shorter in depth Could add a slimline DVD-Rom drive above the drive bay. Or at least the option for one.
6 months... smh
Pros: 4TB at a low cost
Cons: Died after 6 months. Have to pay to ship it back to Seagate for replacement.
Overall Review: Use RAID with these and cross your fingers
Used 3 of these on one PC... smh
Pros: Big, cheap, good display
Cons: Don't call something "frameless" if there is going to be a tiny black bar on the screen around the left, top, and right sides.
Overall Review: I put 3 of these on one PC because I thought I would have a teeny tiny transition from each monitor (for gaming, design etc). Out of the box, it looked promising. Tiny little bezel on 3 sides at 1920x1080. Connect them to the PC and boot up... ugh. 3/8 in black border around each monitor. Making it 3/4 in between monitors. is "frameless" just an industry term that means something other than the actual definition?
First Impressions
Pros: Good picture for the price Plenty of inputs for the average user
Cons: Screws were not long enough to mount base. 1 screw stripped with barely any pressure applied. Had to use my own screws (longer) from base to TV. Missing one screw for bottom of base (had 3, needs 4). Instructions for base installation are for a completely different base.
Overall Review: screen has a few light/dark spots, not enough to truly complain about at this price point. but the screw issue... yeah.. really?
Inspect thoroughly
Pros: Cheap for specs
Cons: Loaded with Malware-laden Windows, wipe and reinstall asap.
Overall Review: I have purchased 6 of these. All have had Malware problems (until I reinstalled from scratch). Things would try to install when you were uninstalling something else. One gained 20 new bloatware apps in the first day of use.They don't ship an install disc with the laptop, so find one ASAP. The first 4 were good, minus the malware. Last two I bought, one had a slower CPU and the other a physically broken USB port. Kept the latter (didn't want to have to ship BOTH back), still waiting on the replacement of the former. Been 2 weeks since they received the shipment... Don't get me wrong, I'll probably buy 4-6 more...
Update!
Pros: No More BSODs
Cons: Had to reinstall everything
Overall Review: Got the BSODs to stop. I had to reinstall everything from scratch, but WOOHOO it works perfectly now. Luckily it was a new build anyway. If you are going to buy one of these, search for TL-WN722N, it's the same thing minus the case. Buy whichever is cheaper. Sean G.
