Fastest Cable Modem I have had
Pros: This this is fast. My provider is only DOCSIS 2.0 but this modem is faster than the modems we were leasing from them.
Cons: None that I have found so far.
Overall Review: I haven't tested out the DOCSIS 3.0 performance, but if it is as good as the 2.0 performance, then this will impress.
Mine was missing parts
Pros: As a heat sink, this thing works great. I have not had any overheating problems since I installed it. And the added bonus - where I had a noisy fan before, pure silence.
Cons: The cons are that despite the packaging claiming to have two different mounting brackets (both screw and loop hooks), as well as Zalman's web page, my package was missing hooks. Neither Newegg nor Zalman was able to correct this situation. THOUGH, I was able to adapt and make a workable solution.
Overall Review: Despite the parts missing, I was able to make this work for my needs. The results were not as good looking as I would have liked, but it works. In terms of performance, I have no complaints (5.0 performance, 1.0 in parts, 3.0 average).
Good Card - Great Price
Pros: I bought this card for a media server that I set up, which also doubled as a backup server. The card was fairly easy to setup. RAID configuration was not too difficult and in Windows, this is very easy manage.
Cons: The lack of an XOR processor is a pain (but for the price, you can't get it all). And the setup isn't super intuitive, but the manual does explain it all.
Overall Review: For my uses, this card is just what the doctor ordered. It may not have the performance of higher priced cards, but it does perform solidly.
So Good I bought two
Pros: Having owned 2 GB of this memory already and using it around 1 year, I was extremely satisfied with it's performance. So when I built my second machine I used this same ram. It works great and not a problem at all.
Cons: None
Overall Review: With the rebate, this is a no-brainer - Corsair for the Win!
Works well, but you will know it
Pros: This Fan/Heatsink combo does exactly what you want. If you need cooling, this works great. Never had stability issues when using this cooling unit.
Cons: The noise. SUPER LOUD. Until I built my new system I didn't get just how loud it was. Floor vibration on hardwoods and could be heard THROUGH floors.
Overall Review: The price is good, but spend some money for something quieter. I had to replace this thing, it was too much.
Quick and Cheap
What more is there to say? They were selling USB cables for $2. I ordered 2 of them and got them in less then a week. Cheap and fast!
