I want to marry this thing!
Pros: I've owned this router for over a year now, currently running final v24 of DD-WRT on it. I am running a 7 PC network, with 2 phones running Wifi, and 1 PSP and its always run 100% stable on hacked firmware. I replaced a WRT300N with this. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Cons: Its not free :(
Overall Review: BUY IT and slap some hacked firmware on here. Currently running it overclocked to 216mhz from the stock 200mhz, and Xmit power cranked up to 70mW.
Meehh
Pros: They burn at 16x. When they work, they work, just like any other recordable DVD.
Cons: Lots of coasters in my batch. I got RITEK-F16-01 disc's, and so far it seems like near 50% of them have a defect. It is a visual defect you can see on the disc, there's a little "line" of messed up area. For two more cents a disc, you can have perfect, no coaster DVD's. So this is ridiculous.
Overall Review: Buy if you don't care about coasters or if you're just desperate for some DVD's and can't afford two more dollars for quality media.
Nice
Pros: Nice speed, about 215MB/s in a 2x RAID 0 config. Very quiet, not sure what other reviewers are talking about. Typical high performance Hitachi for a good price.
Cons: Could be 64MB Cache
Overall Review: Buy it if you need a fast, large hard drive as either a primary drive or storage.
Good Cheap Disc
Pros: Discs are great IMO.... only a few coasters at most per 100 DVD's. These use the proven Ritek F1's which are by far the best cheap disc around.
Cons: As others said, the top of the disc is busy, and rough to right on with a Sharpie, but it doesn't bother me enough to not buy again at this price.
Overall Review: Get any Ritek F1 disc, such as these. They're great.
Decent if it works
Pros: Overclocked to near 1000 at 2.1v and 5-5-5-18 stable. 2x2GB of 1066 is only slightly more and is a far better decision over this ram. This ram is a ridiculous buy.
Cons: First set ended up dying in not much time at all, RMAed straight to OCZ, and 1 of the sticks sent back to me were DOA.
Overall Review: Buy if you want to be ripped off for the money. Other than that its decent ram that's fine if you get some working sticks.
Nice and Fast
Pros: 45nm, Fast, 6mb cache. I got it overclocked to 3.4 with 1.30v. I could not hit 3.6 stable but I have a feeling it was something else such as the motherboard maxing out and limiting the overclock. Great chip for the money, I got mine for one hundred thirty on eebay
Cons: Seems to run hot? It runs hotter than my Q6600 on the same heatsink and its running much lower voltage. I have tried re-applying too. About 45c idle and 65c load or so.
Overall Review: Buy it if you need a heatsink, but try to get it for cheaper than what Newegg has it for.
