Pros: Fast Laser MFP Works in linux. This includes both printing and scanning, although scanning works differently that you'd expect. It will save scans to a network folder, and it knows enough to authenticate as a user to a samba share. The only thing that would make this interface better is if it could send it over a kerberized NFSv4 folder, but I'd probably be the only one asking for that. This means it's not sane (scanner access now easy)-compatible, which means all sorts of scanner apps won't work with it... but you can scan directly over your network, and it doesn't have to be a windows computer you send the scans to. Linux support is always a *must* for me, so I was happy to see that it has CUPS support, and sufficient support to work for scanning as well. For those looking for linux printing support, look for "hplip", which will supply the CUPS drivers. You don't need to enable the inkjet mess (hpijs), just the laser printer stuff. The document scanner is always a "must have" for me. Wifi support is nice (and required for my use-case). Simple interface over the touch-screen, which brings me to... Touch-screen interface. It just makes life simpler. No more vast surface are filled with buttons for a specific purpose, now you get a context-sensitive area with dynamic buttons that only apply to the context you're currently working with.

Cons: No duplex capability. Every printer I've purchased in the last five years has had duplex support... this is a fairly major step back for me. But nothing in my price range offered it for a laser MFP. You'd think this would be standard by now... I'll either have to live with single-sided prints, do everything manually, or use my buggy Brother laser printer which tends to cut content off of the top and/or bottom in linux, but it at least has duplex support.

Overall Review: I was hoping for one of the newer LED printers, which should last a lot longer (very similar to laser but with 90% fewer moving parts), but they're still ridiculously expensive. My old Canon inkjet MFP died on me, and I was tired of buying ink every 5 pages, so I decided to go with a laser printer. Thus far, I haven't regretted it.

Pros: * It mounts up to six monitors easily * Each monitor mount allows for a small amount of tilting, with a tightening mechanism to lock them in place when you're satisfied * The arms curve as they extend, allowing you to get the monitors to the right angle a bit more naturally * Very solid mounting system - as long as your desk is solid, this mount is just as solid * Each arm has a cable guide, and the center vertical post acts as a cable conduit for the upper arms

Cons: * The manufacturer pre-installed the plastic end-caps on the arms. This is bad for two reasons: 1. 3 out of 4 of the end caps were broken on arrival (not designed to be jostled around once installed) 2. You cannot install the side monitor mounts with the end-caps installed, and you cannot uninstall an end-cap without damaging it * I snapped one of the cable guides during the install, even when careful * The heights of the arms are at set intervals, not via a sliding mechanism. The intervals appear to be approximately every inch. This makes the arms significantly more solid, but less flexible to your setup if you really want to make your monitors run up against each other

Overall Review: * The instructions have steps for installing the end-caps, so it appears that they were not meant to be pre-installed * You probably want to start with a low desk with this - not a desk that is high to begin with. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world craning your neck up to look at the top row of monitors. * Make sure you have easy access to the back of your desk as you work on this. Lots of the installation involves working with the back of the mount. * Mounting the arms is doable with one person (You can get away with having the center monitor attached for sizing purposes), but is significantly easier with two people (took me one hour to get the screw into the lower arms to hold in place, where it would take me 5 seconds if I had help) * If you want to make use of the cable guides, buy longer cables

Pros: Offers multiple output channels Runs off of USB rather than PCI Works under Linux (tested using kernel 3.4.6)

Cons: It's a bit bulkier than it likely needs to be It has LEDs

Overall Review: I'm using this on my laptop (Alienware 17r3) because the built-in audio support for the laptop does not support the external audio jacks under Linux, nor is there any intention of adding support for them at any point in the future. So, my only option for using speakers outside of the built-in speakers is to use another sound card, and on a laptop, USB is the easiest solution. In my case, the lights don't really bother me because I have it plugged in behind my graphics amplifier box (in fact, it plugs directly into the amplifier's USB port). By the same token, the bulk doesn't bother me at all either because, again, I don't see it and I don't travel with it. It seems it "simply works", which is exactly what I needed. I note that in my setup, I get some stuttering when streaming via steam, but I'm guessing that's in the stream itself and has nothing to do with this device. Everything outside of steam appears to play nice. I did not bother installing any drivers under Windows 10, and it appears to work fine in that state.

Pros: It works Trayless

Cons: Too large for some enclosures. It took a lot of coaxing to get it into my 2U chenbros chassis' 5.25" slot... so much so that I highly doubt I will ever be able to remove it from that slot. Forget screwing it in, it doesn't need screws... just wedge it in and it will never come out. In my case, it sticks out about 1/8" from the front, and that's the best I can do. On the other hand, it appears to work, and accepts drives with no issues. In the event that the module breaks (one of the doors snaps or something similar), I will likely have to replace my entire chassis. I've read that others have had issues fitting this into their chassis, so I'm sure I'm not alone... I just may be one of the few stupid enough to attempt to "force the issue" and get it in the slot.

Pros: Fastest android device I've seen. Beats out my nVidia Tegra 3 device, and possibly my Tegra 4-based nvidia Shield (seems slightly more responsive) The wireless charging system makes this tablet highly convenient (requires additional charger not included), and may possibly be a MUST_HAVE if you have a unit with a bad USB connector like me (see cons). Runs the latest android OS, and even seems to get faster OS updates than my Nexus 5 phone (got it several days before my phone updated for 4.4.3).

Cons: Well, there's the usual "There's no memory expansion slot." Agreed, that's a huge downside, and severely limits what you can do with this tablet (I regularly have to shuffle apps around in the cloud, which puts a severe strain on my network bandwidth). If I were able to install apps to a semi-permanent 128GB chip, I would be very happy... but I can't. As I implied above, 32GB of on-board flash simply isn't enough for a device this powerful. 64GB probably isn't enough either. My USB port is flaky. This is a minor annoyance if your battery still has some charge, because you can simply wiggle the connector around until the tablet claims it's charging, then leave it alone. When it's dead, there's no indicator, so you have to plug it in, wait about an hour, attempt to turn it on, and when you fail, wiggle it around again and wait another hour. Repeat as many times as necessary. I've met at least one other person with the same problem, and I suspect it's common with this device. I'd hazard a guess that it's a cold solder joint on the connector. I'm a bit surprised to see this issue with Asus, as I've never had trouble with any of their electronics before (I am at the point where I actually prefer ASUS over most other brands).

Overall Review: On the memory expansion, google has made changes in Kit-Kat (android 4.4) that make memory expansion less useful. Theoretically, you should still be able to install apps on the expansion slot, but your apps can no longer access data that they do not "own". This means if you install a video player, you can't access your videos if they are on an external card. This restriction does not apply to internal memory, so you can continue to play movies from the internal memory with no issues. You can probably imagine all sorts of other limitations you can run into with this in place. At any rate... not an issue with this device, as it doesn't support memory expansion period. On the USB charging issue... I got around mine by using a wireless charger. The nexus 7 (2013 version only) supports the Qi standard which enables various wireless chargers. If your USB port is flaky and you're out of warranty, I suggest you try one of these and use Wifi to tranfser data rather than USB.

Pros: Tool-less - Nearly everything on this box can be installed without a tool. Thumb screws are generously applied, hard drives slide in and lock in place, optical drives too. The only thing that requires a tool is securing the motherboard to the tray. Easy access from all sides - every panel comes off except the rear panel, allowing you easy access to any normally hard-to-reach locations. Has a 3.5" SATA backplane for hot swap support for two 3.5" drives. Also has one 2.5"->3.5" adapter to fit one laptop-sized drive into the backplane. The 5.25" bay supports two 5.25" devices, which simply slide in and are locked in by a tool-less locking mechanism. You don't even have to secure rails to your device - it's truly tool-less. The front fans are both large and quiet, and they can tie into the motherboard directly to gain sensor capability or via 4-pin molex if your board doesn't support this. The motherboard mounts to a removable tray. I don't know how many boxes I've worked with that either did or did not have trays... really should be required for _any_ system. My last board had a 4-pin molex connector that physically could not be connected due to case size limitations (the connector was directly against a case siding). With this board, that's not an issue - all board sides (with the exception of the board-slot side) have plenty of room to plug whatever you may need into them. Front-side USB support for USB3, but see note in "other thoughts" section. Also supports front-side audio (AC97 and HD).

Cons: The space between the power supply and the 3.5" backplane is a bit tight for my power supply. I run a corsair 1000W power supply that's a bit longer than the standard size, and it's a very tight fit. If you stick with a standard-sized PSU, you should be fine, but watch out for oversized PSUs.

Overall Review: The front-side USB is USB3. USB3 headers are not compatible with USB2 headers. If you have a board without USB3 headers, you will not be able to use the front-side USB ports
