Not sure what it is, but it's wonderful

Pros: Looks like an ordinary mouse pad, but thinner rubber base. Nice design.
Cons: At 5", it's a bit small for a mouse pad.
Overall Review: I'm really not quite sure what it is, but if it's meant to be a jar lid opener, then works perfectly. I don't use a mouse with my NUC, so the pad took residence in the kitchen.
Battery not included

Pros: Feels solid and sturdy. Rubber ring at battery cap does the waterproofing. As I've learned, 375nm wavelength is a bit further up the spectrum, which makes the "UV qualities" of this flashlight a bit better than many other, longer wavelength LEDs. Size fits the hand nicely.
Cons: A battery should really be included, since it's a special size/voltage.
Overall Review: I overlooked the "battery not included" feature, so had to buy one separately.
Satisfied thus far

Pros: Relatively inexpensive. Accepts full size ATX power supply. Can fit full length (and 2 slot wide) graphics cards. Sturdy construction.
Cons: I'm concerned about the hot air from CPU radiator (front of case at intake) being blown across the motherboard. I guess I'll find out later, when I boot it up.
Overall Review: Practically no space for the CPU fan, so liquid cooled system is a must. I've taken off an egg because of the uncertainty with the heat issue.
Works

Pros: One of the few adapters available for Slim-SATA hookup.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would be very surprised if it didn't work.
Exactly what I was looking for

Pros: Everything fit perfectly. Multiple possible component configurations.
Cons: Need to remove the whole bracket first, before rearranging the contained drives. No big deal.
Overall Review: I have a shuttle xpc, and space for components is very limited. In order to use 3.5" slot for card reader, I put optical drive and boot SSD in this bracket. I didn't find many choices for slim optical drive, but it's no longer a heavily used component in today's computers.
Cool machine

Pros: Well thought out component placement. Small "footprint" on the desk and looks really cool, unlike those standard towers or desktops. Windows 7 compatibility.
Cons: 1. This is probably true of all Shuttle cases... The PCI Express slot, is very close to the cover, so no graphics card wider than the slot itself will fit. A good solution would have been to switch the two slots around, so you could plug in the video card and have the empty PCI slot (always seems empty for me) provide space for the bulky heatsink/fan assembly. 2. Comes with 250watt power supply. Upgrading to 300watt is more expensive than one would expect ($90+). Many mid-level graphics cards require at least 300watt PSU.
Overall Review: Water cooling is a good solution for such tight fit. This is not a "serious" gaming machine, although I was able to play all but the most GPU intensive games without a problem. An SD card reader slot would fit nicely next to USB ports in front, that way the "floppy" drive bay could be free for something else, like a second HDD.
