Pros: Professional opinion - (12 years as network engineer, IT consultant, telecom specialist, working in retail, commercial, residential spaces of all sizes and complexities) This is a PERFECT fit a small office / SoHo / residential environment. Blows away competition in all facets. EASY setup, MANY options, MULTITUDE of settings and capabilities. Practically Plug and play simple, Solid web GUI, more control available than most will need, but has it all if you want it with Factory firmware. BETTER than products made by folks that specialize in networks. "Capable simplicity" with all modern day needs and options" included from UPNP to WPS to Port Forwarding - Firewall, visibility, access, control, features, performance, VALUE - I am buying more to just have them for future personal/family needs and clients

Cons: dont buy that apple airport youve been eye-ing unless you have much more time and money to waste and burn !! you dont really need to spend 3x's as much for that cute, overpriced white box UNLESS you need simultaneous dual-band. This does all that does, maybe more, for less and faster to setup by FAR with much more control and visibility to boot

Overall Review: ASUS is quickly becoming a favorite of mine for more than just PC components. Great warranty, visually appealing, reasonably priced, and solid, simple. and VERY functional

Pros: It gives me a safe place to put my Intel Sandy Bridge CPU, my Galaxy GTS 250, and my G.Skill Memory

Cons: ABSOLUTE WORST REBATE PROCESS AND EXPERIENCE EVER.: 1- Rebate PDF refused to print or even OPEN on ALL versions of Adobe from 9.0 and up on ALL 5 of my Windows 7 machines. Ironically, I used a 3rd party app to view and print (Print Central) from my iphone 4, its the only thing that would open the PDF file 2 - Biostar makes you print and fill out the rebate info form 3 - Biostar makes you go online, register for the rebate, and fill out ANOTHER REBATE FORM. BOTH FORMS CAN only be filled out BY HAND! No typing! repetitive and redundant info requested on BOTH forms. Both need to be sent in 4- Biostar makes you WRITE BY HAND a 24 digit rebate code + tons of other info ON BACK OF THE ENVELOPE !!!REALLY BIOSTAR?! 5 - Biostar requires you to send in all of this info within 20-21 days. INCLUDING the day you bought the item. The standard is 30 days, of course they would go against the grain here too 6 - Biostar will do EVERYTHING in their power to ensure you fail and miss something

Overall Review: I always considered Biostar a middle of the road to slightly above average tech company. However, after this rebate experience, I lost TONS of respect for them. ANyone who says it's silly to gauge or review a company or its products based on rebates - I 100% DISAGREE - I think you learn ALOT about a company based on their rebate process/requirements/behavior. I NEVER had 1 problem with Corsair, Gigabyte, Cooler-Master, Galaxy, Asus... Their proesses are consistent and require minimal effort. They REWARD you, not PENALIZE you, for buying their products and submitting rebates. Biostar comes across as either both borderline incompetent and/or shady and dirty

Pros: This is a quality stick. Very similar to my (now defunct) madcatz TES+ in weight, look, and feel. Both play extremely well. Bough this for my kid but I will def be switching it up with him more often to see if I like one or the other better. But from a high level and a few battles I see little to no major differences yet.

Cons: Price for these higher end sticks can be expensive but the quality is there, so you wont feel bad or have remorse. Still I only buy them when on some kind of decent deal, since they aren’t really useful for anything except 2D fighting games, which I play in spurts...but when I do I couldn’t be happier.

Overall Review: I was a hardcore 80’s and 90’s kid that was unbeatable on 1 quarter at the arcade on any version of street fighter when I used Guile. Since they had the game at my corner hangout candy store in brooklyn we would play for hours every day. And the for fun I got really good at Vega just to annoy people who swore they could kill me if I used him instead :) i want a real arcade version in my basement one day, but until then this and my TES+ will more than suffice. <i really want that special “turbo” version where you could stay in the air throwing fireballs and sonic booms for as long as you wanted. Not sure it was official capcom or just a hacked/chipped “street” version but I need to find it..wish I knew what it was called exactly...

Pros: Before investing in a higher priced stick if you are unsure what to buy or what you like you could do worse. It functions perfectly, and is a big step up from standard controller. Then when you get better or know you will stick with a fight stick as your weapon of choice and/or fighting games you can sell it and upgrade. Get it on sale tho, a little high at regular price for a non premium grade stick.

Cons: Not a premium grade feel (but also not a premium grade price) but official sony and it works well and forgiving for beginners

Overall Review: I think at fitty or less its great. Sixty and Id have to think hard, but its acceptable. Any more than that Id just go right to the next level / higher grade when those are on sale

Pros: Split screen software doesnt work on xp

Cons: That people still use an EOL OS and expect support for it from a modern day product

Overall Review: If that guy put tech level high then he must have misread it, and thought it said "are you sober or high"

Pros: my monitor has not fallen down (yet)

Cons: no way to get it to sit level, flimsy and the monitor tilts to the side all the time

Overall Review: say no to no-name generic mounts
