Pros: This NAS is great, I was going to build my own with parts laying around the house and use ubuntu however, the synology offered more features and was much easier to use. The pro's I've found are: - Low power usage - Power saving mode (can idle at like 5W when not in use) - Many App's can be installed like an itunes server mail server etc - Constant development, the DSM is always being worked on - Decent read/write speeds - Download manager lets you download torrents and emule links straight to the NAS, and he dsdownload app lets you control the app from your cell phone while not on the network.

Cons: The only con's ive found seem to be due to my router itself. I've found a few times that the read/upload speed's seem to be slow. My device will stop and buffer the video I am watching. This has only happened a few times, generally I can watch 1080p without any need to stop and buffer, but every now and then I run into this problem. It seems to be my router not the NAS.

Overall Review: Great buy, well worth it. Synology makes a great product, you should check their website for the different models and pick the one for you. Some are powerful enough to transcode which is good for apple users since apple products suck and only playback m4a + mp4 video which very few of my videos are.

Pros: Easy learning + forgetting Lots of codes for devices, chances are your device is already pre programmed into the remote. (If not you can just teach the remote the keys)

Cons: Limited amount of learnt keys. You can only teach the remote so many button's after a certain number (which isnt very high, its like 30 - 40 buttons) the remote just wont learn any new buttons. I am not talking about the preprogrammed devices I am talking about teaching the remote a single key.

Pros: Excellent HTPC keyboard its nice and small so you can lay in bed and use it or sit on a couch whatever. Works like a charm in windows even works on an android set top box. Well put together feels solid.

Cons: Nothing really

Overall Review: Good keyboard for htpcs or for a tablet or something

Pros: This case very unique, very solid feel very sharp looking its an htpc case I suppose you could use it as a desktop PC but you'll have trouble with airflow and fitting high end components in. Its a large case you can fit many CPU coolers without problem Solid feel Looks awesome Silent Fits up to a full atx board

Cons: It is quite large just be aware I didn't expect it to be as large as it is. Somewhat of a pro and a con depending how you look at it. The other thing is you need to buy the LCD separate and my very last con is the drive door on the front kind of stuck a bit I needed to open and close my drive about 10 - 15 times before it wore a slight bump into the tab that opens the door before it would open smoothly. I've seen others complain about the same thing and some have had to sand the tab a bit etc I suppose it depends on your drive and if you get lucky with the case.

Overall Review: Great case takes a bit of time and a small amount of money to get it setup perfectly. I'm quite happy with it and its cool to show people because of how unique it is.
