Most Favorable Review

Great for MAC Mini Core Duo

Patriot 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model PSD21G6672S

Pros: -Price -MAC Compatibility -Newegg's amazing service and shipping.

Cons: None other than the MAC mini only excepts up to 2gb of memory :)

Overall Review: Initially bought 1gb (regardless of what Apple states, the memory does not have to be installed in pairs for a mini). By the time I launched Parallels and Firefox, I had 16mb left out of 1gb (with Dashboard disabled). Picked up another 1gb stick, very happy!

Most Critical Review

Great for small files.

Pros: Gigabit speeds, autosensing, easy setup,8 ports, great price.

Cons: Does not handle large file transfers (1gb or more) well. Tends to lockup, requiring hard reset.

Great for iMacs

Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model KVR800D2S5/2G
Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model KVR800D2S5/2G

Pros: Bought 2 of these for a 24-inch 3.0 iMac from Apple. Worked flawlessly so far, great price.

Cons: None.

Quiet Case

Pros: Space, quiet, excellent air flow, clean smooth look.

Cons: Lousy instructions. Getting the 5.25 drives in took some time, never will be flush (lousy rail system). You have to figure out what the special HD screws are. Needs more holes for MicroATX board for support (lower right corner).

Overall Review: Really is an amazing case, very quiet. Putting it together with the lousy instructions takes a bit of thought. I purchased the Rosewill RP500 PSU with it, plenty of cable length.

Pros: -Quiet -Fast Transfers

Cons: Slightly more expensive then other 500gb drives.

Overall Review: Threw this in a box to be used with VMWare Server. Rock solid, very quick, and plenty of space for running multiple VMs.

Pros: Good fun for all ages.

Cons: Certain levels require you to use the Nunchuk and eventually things do get a little repetitive.
