Pros: Priced right and comes with dual 1gb NICs, HDMI, lots of internal USB headers, PCI-E 1x slot, and even a SATA cable the right length to hook up a hard drive. The build quality is 10/10 for the metal case and simple design. The computer, the BIOS, and the cardboard box that it comes in are all unbranded and are ready to accept your specific company branding. The cardboard box that it comes in also has a nice plastic handle that makes it look smart when carrying.

Cons: Although the CPU supports 64bit, and technically the motherboard does as well, the drivers are a significant issue. We couldn't even see enough to install a 64bit version of Linux due to some odd issue that caused output to get lost on the screen. Using 32bit versions get rid of most of the issues, however there were some smaller graphical issues we experienced which, although might have been fixed with compiling a different video driver into the kernel, wasn't enough for us to deal with. Frankly, we don't ever use the console once they are built, so no reason why that would ever bother us.

Overall Review: Don't know how you would ever actually use the PCI-E 1x slot, but perhaps some sort of small card? Would have been better to include a micro-pci-e slot so you could attach a laptop wireless card or SSD. Also, not sure what you would ever do with that many internal USB headers, but maybe someone will find a use for them. If you plan on deploying this in a hot environment (90+ Degrees F), plan on installing a second small fan on the case to push air from one side out the other. The case comes with several additional mounting points just for a scenario like this. If the drivers for this box were 64bit, this would have gotten the 5th egg. Either way, it's the right price for what you get. We purchased 4 of these and we plan to buy 10 more before the end of next year if they are still for sale.

Pros: Does what it says, comes with the standard LSI MegaRaid utilities (which are awesome btw) and runs decently fast in a RAID 0 configuration. If you just want a RAID 0 across 8 drives in an inexpensive way, this card is for you.

Cons: In our tests, the system actually ran slightly slower in RAID 0 than the Intel Rapid Storage Technology which was built onto the motherboard. This card does not support on card XOR calculations which is pretty much all RAID5 does. Therefore in our RAID 5 tests we were getting absolutely horrible speeds since those calculations were offloaded to the CPU (just like Intel Rapid Storage Technology). The difference here was, the Intel RST ran 5 times faster on a RAID 5 than the LSI card did with the same equipment. If a motherboard with Intel RST costs under $100, than this card should cost no more than $50 IMO.

Overall Review: I love LSI, but this card is obviously the bottom of the barrel and is actually worse than Intel RST RAID. The biggest thing this card has going for it is that it comes with the LSI MegaRaid utilities. Personally though, I would just buy a motherboard that supports Intel RST instead. We ended up going with the LSI 9260-8i with BBU instead. Great card, fast, has 512MB cache and massively improved RAID 5 speed (also, $300 more in the end).

Pros: Great specs for the price.

Cons: Frame uses what appears to be plastic bolts to prevent dissasembly. No access to upgrade memory, HDD, and can't even remove BATTERY! I've never seen anything like it. Power cord takes a long time to charge tiny battery that dies quickly. Cheapest plastic frame I have ever seen. Keyboard is held in place with double-sided tape. I disliked the touchpad texture as well as other people.

Overall Review: If you don't care about upgrades or diagnostics if something breaks, this laptop is fine. If you would like to double or quadruple your memory and/or add an SSD like myself, this is NOT the laptop for you. If you plan on using it mobile for any length of time, this is possibly the worst laptop ever for portability since it has a tiny battery that cannot be replaced and it takes forever to charge. Lenovo really decided to drop quality on the low end laptops. Their more expensive stuff is still really good, but shame on them for this abomination. One egg for the value of the specs, minus 4 eggs because this is a piece of junk.

Pros: Light, small, Linux compatible RAID, IPMI.

Cons: It's touchy with memory, so if you turn it on and it screeches at you, just try different memory and you should be OK. Getting the Adaptec RAID to work with Linux is slightly less intuitive than you might think simply because it actually shows the RAID and it shows each individual drive. Lastly, the case NEEDS this part in order to mount hard drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811994023 I have no idea why they wouldn't simply include this part but as long as you know that it is required, you won't be as frustrated.

Overall Review: Don't forget that it needs this part in order to mount hard drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811994023 Depending upon your deployment, it may also need a fan to blow on the drives and/or CPU. You will likely end up gluing fans in place if you have to mount them.

Pros: 10/100/1000 for cheap

Cons: Cheap looking construction

Overall Review: "The GSW-0807 is hosted in a compact and fan-less metal enclosure for easy use on a desktop or in space limited environments." Photo of the switch clearly shows a plastic box. I wouldn't ever waste my time with a switch that wasn't in a metal box as I have been burned (pun intended) in the past.

Pros: Good quality, inexpensive, good internal space, lots of options, looks great.

Cons: Toast timer didn't work for us. It ticks down, but at a certain point it just stops counting down and stays on. Must have a slightly defective one. Door spring is pretty weak, but not really noticeable unless you are really thinking about it.

Overall Review: It is a little annoying not having the timer go off when toast is ready, but since it toasts pretty fast, and the door is a nice big window, it works for toasting if you just keep an eye on it for the whole 1.5 minutes it takes to toast something. Other than that, what can I say? I purchased it for $30 and free shipping and I got more than I expected. If I had paid full price, I might have been more upset about the toast timer not working, but even so, the unit is solidly built and everything else works great, so why get hung up on the small stuff?
