Great HTPC
Pros: Tiny, quick, nearly silent PC.
Cons: No power cord included, but it is understandable.
Overall Review: If you need more storage Mushkin is coming out with a 480GB in January. I have no complaints with this PC.
Fast
Pros: As fast as advertised. Silent and small.
Cons: Price point is still a little high, but that will change with time. My drive started shuting down my PC about 3 months after install. Within 2 weeks of the first issue it would only stay on for 5 minutes at a time.
Overall Review: I am currently going through the RMA process with OCZ, I will update this once it is over. I would have given this 5 eggs if it weren't for this glaring issue.
Good Price
Pros: Takes up single slot, has 3 connections, low noise output, price.
Cons: Still takes up two slots, 128bit memory bus bottlenecks memory speed.
Overall Review: When a third party comes out with a different heatsink it will be possible to use only a single slot. A little overkill for HTPC.
Not Quiet
Pros: Quality construction.
Cons: Loud, for HTPC. Bought it because it was the lowest DB 90mm fan, put two in HTPC and it is unaccebtably loud.
Overall Review: Will have to buy speed resistor seperately just to be able to use them for their designated purpose.
Correction
Pros: An excelent system.
Cons: Just a correction to the previous review. It has 8 cores, however it only uses 7.
