Pros: Does the job - volume and frequency can be adjusted on the cabinet with dials, can hook up using speaker wire or preamp in. It also has a nice standby feature so you don't have to worry about turning it on and off all the time, and the delay is not bad at all when starting up again. Fills a room with what you want -- that deep filler. Not sure exactly where the rolloff is, but it's great for movie sound effects. Movies come alive in my 18x15xvauted ceiling listening area.

Cons: None, AFAIK.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Unbearable vibration and resulting noise, like a turbojet was trying to take off inside the computer

Overall Review: Considering the price of dvd writers, I don't know why I bought this in the first place, except that it was a few bucks less on sale, and it said Samsung, otherwise known as TSST. Big Mistake

Pros: -- running 24/7 for months! -- runs hot -- recommend space underneath for additional caution No problems, no cons. Wish the screen was larger, but... that would take getting another processor..

Cons: I have no cons about the computer. Except when charged, it may last up to 2 hours... so, it's best plugged in. It's also very heavy, but it's jam-packed with tech, so...

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend for those who need heavy-duty crunching

Pros: Still working. All the memory worked first try, cpu is easy to upclock using desktop adj thru Biostar included software.

Cons: None that I can think of

Overall Review: Have this board paired w/32GB 1333, i7-2700k running @ 4.4GHz, 256GB SSD os, 500GB programs, 1TB/2 data, and a 6-drive 5TB raid 5 for video storage. Drives are OCZ, Seagate hybrid, WD Black, and Seagate Barracudas respectively. Using Noctua NH-U12S for cpu, Fractel R4 case w/2 extra 14cm fans on low. Highpower raid card So far, so good.

Pros: As advertised. They shut off automatically, come back on w/a 4-sec delay with no problems.Can get mostly loud enough, clear full-range sound, tho the small woofers limit any bass, but I use these w/subwoofer (Pioneer 8") so the combo is just fine -- my previous speakers are now the L and R sides in a 5/1 setup. Definitely worth the 79 I paid two years ago -- would do so again for that price (tho for more $, I'd look even higher) and am very satisfied so far for a computer speaker system of modest means.

Cons: Lack of deep bass, due to small woofers -- physics cannot be overcome.

Pros: Does what it's designed to do. Quiet and fairly straightforward in use, and nice looking.

Cons: Is limited to 2x DVD-RW or 4x DVD-R discs only, as others have stated. Those are getting harder to find. The only problem has been its clock resets after a couple of days, now making it impossible to set long-term recording w/o rechecking that the clock is accurate.

Overall Review: As others have said, this is a nice combo -- I bought it elsewhere, also reconditioned about 10 years ago -- just as VCRs were disappearing from the shelves forever -- the next year they were gone. It has served well. recording hundreds of discs @ different speeds, mostly DVD-RWs. It also has an annoying habit of turning on its internal fan @ odd times, even when "off".
