Pros: Good HTPC solution. Using Windows 7 and USB/E-net tuners to record and playback 1080i from cable and OTA. Low noise and runs cool... if you leave the cover off. Using 4GB of RAM and 80GB SSD drive. I like everything quiet so leaving the cover off is an acceptable solution for all of my PC's, if necessary. I have purchased a 12cm fan to add to the cover once the warranty runs out in a couple of months if I feel so inclined. I love the size and quality of the product. My only disappointment with the computer WAS the inability to play HD Netflix. USB 3.0 is great.

Cons: Netflix will not work via Windows 7 Media Center. Noisy and hot with the cover on. This model is very critical of the quality of HDMI cable (as others have noted). My "five for $6" cables that work fine for everything else will not work with this unit. I used a good quality locally purchased cable and it works perfectly.

Overall Review: Upgraded my three Foxconn Nettops (nt-510i w/GMA 3150, nt-330i with ION, and this NT-A3500) to Windows 8 and all of them play Netflix at HD with the Windows 8 Netlfix App. I actually use the lowest powered of the three (nt-510i) as my daily Netflix player. The NT-A3500 I gave to my in-laws as a Windows 8 "trainer" PC because it performed so well.

Pros: Small size. A nice case overall. I personally like the styling.

Cons: Not much of a con for me but no provisions for a DVD drive.

Overall Review: The riser card cost is a bit absurd when I searched for availability on my favorite search engine. Here's iStarUSA's notes about the case from their web site: 1. for PCI riser, use DD-711R-C5 (search for DD-711R-CX). 2. for PCIe x16 riser, use DD-766R-C5 (search for DD-766R-CX). 3. 3.5" HDD can't be mounted when add-on card is in place.

Pros: Design is nice. Use it with my Windows 10 tablet with an OTG adapter.

Cons: I had issues with all of my PCs with USB3.0 ports. The SD would not be recognized by any of the PC when plugged into the USB3.0 port, not sure about the hub feature. When I used it in a USB2.0 port it worked fine. A USB3.0 would work fine ONLY IF I used a USB2.0 extension cable to plug it into the 3.0 port.

Pros: Same pro's as others. Great product for the price.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I called Newegg's customer service department and they gave me the correct link to register for the rebate: http://event.asrock.com/usretailer/dec-beebox-ne0410-us-15.asp

Pros: Nice board with lots of features. Ran great right up until the BIOS was updated to v1.7.

Cons: It is now a brick after two days of running due to MSI's BIOS.

Overall Review: I had a flashback to the 90's when I had to open the computer's case to set the jumpers for HDMI use. A6-3650 G.skill F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR (also used GU502203EP0201 from Gateway DX-4831-01e initially and also for troubleshooting after BIOS update) Noisy WD Black 1TB WDBAAZ0010HNC-NRSN from yellow tag place Noisy Coolermaster RP-600 PCAR power supply

Pros: Everything except for the software. 1080i and 720p recordings.

Cons: I have an occassional jump in my recordings that others have stated that seem to be related to the video source, namely stuff from AT&T U-verse box. The software is not the best but is usable. It's works fine with Windows 7 MCE but my AT&T U-verse box needs an OK to wake it up from sleeping so it is not useable. That is not this products fault but it only allows making manual recordings. I still love the product with all of its faults.

Overall Review: Others have stated that it requires a good performing PC. I use an Atom/ION-based Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11-U. It only has 2GB 533MHz DDR2 RAM and a 60GB Kingston V100 SSD drive (not the fastest SSD drive). I have no issues recording 720p or 1080i video at 9Mbps (2-channel audio). The Atom510/ION combination can also display the video while recording. I have another non-ION Atom-based Nettop that also works for recording but you cannot watch the video while recording. I have used it with my Core2Duo laptop and Core i3 desktop as well and all of the PC's work well and create excellent recordings.
