Most Critical Review
cirago BTA-6210 Micro Bluetooth Dongle support Bluetooth 2.1 USB 2.0
cirago BTA-6210 Micro Bluetooth Dongle support Bluetooth 2.1 USB 2.0

Pros: Im using this with a wireless headphones, to watch movies, listen to music, etc.

Cons: choppy audio, Super duper high latency. You wont notice the latency when listening to music, but you will when watching videos.The bit rate is less than desirable to listen to anything above 330kb/s (the connection is 328kb/s). I don't know if the low bit rate is because of the device is connected to, or the adapter itself, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

Pros: Good specs.

Cons: The design was a little off, like having the USB 2.0 front panel connector at the back of the motherboard. But I guess thats what you would expect from a SFF.

Overall Review: I probably wont be replacing this motherboard for a long time because it comes with some of the latest tech for the price.

Only works when installed correctly

TRENDnet TEW-623PI Wireless N Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n 32-Bit PCI Rev. 2.1/2.2/2.3 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
TRENDnet TEW-623PI Wireless N Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n 32-Bit PCI Rev. 2.1/2.2/2.3 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: When it's installed correctly, the adapter works like a charm.

Cons: It's only installed correctly under certain circumstances. First, it *has* to be installed using the original CD driver. Using an update will only make it worst. I wrote TRENDnetbut they decided not to make any response. To be honest I regret having to spend $50 now because I lost the CD and the updated drivers from TRENDnet are complete rigmarole.

Overall Review: What I'm really frustrated about is that the updated drivers that says "For Win7, XP" are completely useless on Win7. Pick a different product if you find one. PS: can someone please email me the original CD driver since TRENDnet won't help me out? Windows 7 2.5 GB RAM 2.66 GHz Dual Core CPU

It's OK, but if you can, buy a better one

Cons: The case is made of weak metal, so be careful.
