almost perfect
Pros: lpt and serial is nice (for CAM), everything seems to function correctly (not one problem), impressive OC performance, good onboard graphics, I don't know about games, but for business and industrial purposes it'd be hard to find a better micro atx.
Cons: no raid functionality
Overall Review: runs stock E6750 + DDR2 800 at 3.5 ghz stable with no tweaking required, I'd say this board is a good choice for both first time builders and enthusiasts (excluding whether the instructions, CD and drivers are any good or not, I did not use any of that), the micro atx form factor is so much nicer than full size, notwithstanding how large graphics cards would extend right over top of two sata ports, 8600gt fits fine
unrefined
Pros: doesn't take much flying skill, good for kids
Cons: unrealistic arcade graphics and physics, nowhere near real flight simulation
Overall Review: I saw no REALISM AND AUTHENTICITY as advertised, played twice then gave it away
power user PDA
Pros: big screen, vga resolution
Cons: none
Overall Review: if you like PDAs you will love this one, its larger size is not ideal for belt clip use, but it sure is nicer to use compared to a standard pda, I only use it for records and occasional reading, I don't really use it for multimedia, not sure about sound and all that
it is a wheel
Pros: wireless and has good pedals, precise steering, braking, and acceleration controls
Cons: I don't like the force feedback, its like it has detents instead of a smooth resistance, the wheel has lots of wobble and play because the single bearing is a thin loose fitting ring of plastic
Overall Review: I tossed the power supply for force feedback, mounted it on a stand, and mounted centering springs like my old nitro wheel had (the shift and accelerator levers broke on that one) this one has heavy duty durable levers and pedals, I gave it 4 eggs because the whole wheel wobbles due to the one single skimpy loose fitting plastic main bearing
innovative
Pros: Somehow, it really does work
Cons: slightly uncomfortable, head band has to press against forehead, strap adjusment ball in back doesn't work for chair with a headrest, only controls like 3 button functions and one scale, speed or direction input, and it has an odd way of staging sequential commands based on level of input signal
Overall Review: Even though I returned this because the command structure is limited to a few command signals and is not precise like punching a button (I had hoped to replace a 15 button gamepad I use for graphics apps), I gave it 5 eggs because it is cool, and appears to have some potential as a game input device, I just don't play games, and I needed a more expandable and versatile command structure, this does not emulate a standard programmable multi-button game pad, it is quite unique
works for me
Pros: finally, convenient backups and drive swapping without opening the case or using external or usb docking stations,
Cons: none
Overall Review: I only use these for backups, appears to work well with thick and thin 3.5 drives, will be buying more, one for every computer
