Most Favorable Review

Decent, but not perfect

Dynatron K17 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler for Intel LGA Socket 1151 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156
Dynatron K17 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler for Intel LGA Socket 1151 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156

Pros: Quiet, fairly easy to install, reasonably priced.

Cons: No documentation included, though I was able to figure out pretty quickly what needed to be done. My biggest complaint, however, is that while they curved the corners of the heat sink vanes, they could have made the curve a big deeper. As it was, my phillips screwdriver bit chewed aluminum filings from the bottom couple of vanes due to the tight fit. I blew them out with compressed air as best I could, but stray conductive metal filings inside one's computer can be more than a little disconcerting.

Most Critical Review

DOA

EATON 103004259-5591 1440 VA 900 Watts 4 Outlets UPS
EATON 103004259-5591 1440 VA 900 Watts 4 Outlets UPS

Pros: Decent price point, usually good quality from Eaton.

Cons: This unit was dead on arrival. Unfortunately, the equipment that was to be connected to it was delayed, so it was not unboxed within 30 days of invoice, thus I will have to go through the manufacturer to (hopefully!) get it replaced.

Overall Review: I have owned 10+ UPSes over the years and this is the first one I've ever had that failed to power up new out of the box. I currently own 5 Eaton/Powerware/Best units, and I've always been pleased with their quality and support, so hopefully this is just an anomaly. And yes, I did connect the battery plug before attempting to power up.

Pretty easy upgrade

D-Link DGS-1100-24P 24-Port Gigabit EasySmart Metal Rackmount Switch with 12 PoE+ Ports
D-Link DGS-1100-24P 24-Port Gigabit EasySmart Metal Rackmount Switch with 12 PoE+ Ports

Pros: It was almost a drop-in replacement for a unit that had failed (DGS-1024D that had been fried by a lightning strike). I had to reorganize my cabling a bit since only ports 1-12 have PoE; since purchasing the previous unit, I had added IP phones with PoE capability. Thus, I was able to connect those phones to ports 1-12, and was then able to retire the power bricks attached to the phones, which was a big plus!

Cons: I guess having all 24 ports w/ PoE would be a plus, but I own less than 12 PoE phones, so not a big deal.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this switch for anyone with similar needs: basic network management and limited quantity of PoE devices.

Works as expected

Cons: none yet

Device name is not legible

This device shows up on my Ubuntu desktop as a device with a Chinese name (and I don't read Chinese). Since it is the only one, I know which is which, but I would prefer that it show up in my native English. As to the timing, it was more or less on time, but it showed as "shipped" within a day of my purchase, but repeated checks on the shipping progress showed as "label has been printed" until I contacted the vendor's customer service, who provided the real USPS tracking number.
