Most Favorable Review

Works with XBMC Dharma out of the box!

Pros: Works out of the box with the new XBMC build, Dharma. No more configuring with config files (unless you want to). Good form factor, fits good in hand, slick little controller.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Small, good for cubicle or a small room but not much else

Pros: Small, cheap, and compatible with most devices

Cons: Not very loud, no bass. But hey, what do you expect from small speakers like this.

Overall Review: If you aren't looking to seriously rock out but would like something small to play music in a cubicle or bathroom or something like that these are good speakers. If you're looking to crank something while gardening or working in the garage spend some more money on something a little more powerful.

Great case for HTPC!

Pros: Slick case, sturdy construction, 150W power supply. Good little case for an HTPC build.

Cons: Didn't have clear instructions for removing the hard drive bay. Luckily someone on New Egg wrote how to do it.

Overall Review: In order to remove the HDD bay you must remove the front bezel to be able to remove a screw. The front bezel will tilt slightly down and out from the top. Then pull until it releases. The bezel uses pressure clips so it is a little nerve wracking but it seemed stronger than I thought.
