Updated Review
Pros: Looks good - Small size - Room for full size P/S - Good air flow - Room for plenty of drives 3.5 " and 2.5 " - Decent room for cable management
Cons: Only one USB 3 jack on the front - No adapter for mobos with only USB 2 headers - Plastic feet are slippery, can actually push the unit around from just pushing front panel buttons - Would like to see more front panel vents to increase air flow
Overall Review: After 5 months with this unit I found that self stick 1/2" silicon feet fit perfectly into the recesses of the included plastic feet and allowed the unit to be very stable. Also with the help of Mr. Dremel I cut an opening in the front of the panel to allow more air flow and covered the opening with metal mesh. This dropped the idle temp inside the case 2 degrees Celsius and allowed me to fit a foam filter over the front fan behind the mesh. I was even able to save the Cooler Master badge and glue it to the mesh. Looks nice! :o) Overall I cannot endorse this case enough. If the feet were not slippery I would have awarded 5 stars.
Meh
Pros: *SATA cable locks *Fan *7mm & 9mm SSD fits without adapter/spacer *Separate LED indicators for each drive *Works with 'Tooless' computer cases
Cons: *Fan is annoying *Drive LEDs are not close to the drive they represent. Hard to tell which drive they refer to *Door 'strike plate' is plastic *SSD bay and 3.5" bay are all one open space *SSD Door and 3.5" door interfere with each other *No power switch *Disappointed in the quality considering the price
Overall Review: I previously purchased a Kingwin hot swap bay adapter like this one for less money. I like it better. The SSD bay requires a spacer for the 7mm drives but the door ejects the drive easier and the 'Strike Plates' are metal with metal latches. The LEDs are separated with the indicator being close to the drive it represents. The bay doors are separated because the bays are not connected and so do not interfere with each other. The racks that hold the drives are stainless steel. The Startech unit is plastic. The SATA connectors don't lock into place, but that is easily fixed with a hot glue gun making the cables semi-permanent. Overall I recommend the Kingwin unit over this one. Less money and better quality. The Kingwin unit is VERY similar to the Thermal take unit.
Just ok
Pros: Works like it should. Wet/dry shaver.
Cons: Shave head and clipper head are separate and that makes it easier to lose one of them. Hassle to switch out.
Overall Review: I have an older model and I wish I had stuck to that style. The clippers are integrated in the design and that's one less thing to keep up with. Also the older design is more comfortable to use. Overall if I had just purchased a new set of blades for my old one I would have been happier.
Just Right
Pros: Stainless carafe, easy to see water levels, easy cleanups, timed off, does its job.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Purchased this after a bad experience with a 'bad and docker' unit. This one is BY FAR a much better unit. Water levels are easy to read even if you're just waking up. My only gripe, and it is minor, would be that I had rather have the power button on the right side as you face the front rather than the left. Bottom line: I will be buying another one of these units and that is the best indorsement you can give a coffee maker.
Nice headset
Pros: Sound good, Fits well, Runs a long time on a charge, Automatically connects to last BT device
Cons: Hurts my ears
Overall Review: The only negative I have for these are that they hurt my ears where they apply pressure between the headband and the ear cushion. It makes long sessions more painful than it has to be. Other than that these are really nice headphones.
Disapointed
Pros: Small, Lightweight, Match my THOR case, Sound good, Over the head not over the ears
Cons: Have to be charged often, Doesn't connect as trouble free as other BT headsets, Adjustment is friction and not detent like other headsets, Charging cord is short, Don't fit my ears as well as my other headset
Overall Review: I often have more problems reconnecting to my BT devices with these than with the other headset I have, even after updating my drivers. It doesn't hold a charge as well as my others either and when I plug in the cord to charge it I have only about 2 ft. of cord if I want to listen while charging.
