pretty cool
Pros: The remote is pretty small, but some may find this as a con. It fits in my hand well and the layout is okay. I worked right out the box for Windows 7 Media Center. Navigating around was easily done as the remote is pretty responsive. Item comes with a USB extension cable which is pretty nice but it is short.
Cons: the navigation buttons could be a little bigger. wish the usb cable was longer maybe like 6ft.
Overall Review: overall good product. you'll enjoy it.
love it, buuuuuut.....
Pros: The enclosure is beautiful. nice matte black finish. The blue light tells you the drive is on and it doubles as a red light so you know when the HDD is doing its thing. You'll see both light lit at once, so when writing it looks like a disco party in your enclosure. The stand seems very stable its actually attached to the bottom of the enclosure by 4 scews, unlike some drives I've seen. Assembly was a breeze. All screws are included with this item.
Cons: The sata ports on the enclosure seem to be a bit loose. While connected to my pc the drive would disappear randomly only to reappear after wiggling the sata cable. A pain when you're trying to format. I finally was able to on my 5th try. :-). After that things were working fine till it lost connection while copying data. Had a feeling something was gonna happen when the blue light was off and it was solid red. I'll double check inside connections before considering a return.
Overall Review: They could of included an eSata pci bracket, had to go buy one :(. Sata cable seems just fine for length, but may be a contributer to the problem stated above. I havnt used the USB interface yet, so I'll see how that works out. Would of loved to give it a 5...
Its Ok
Pros: Plays a lot of formats! Using this device is easier than burning everything to DVD. Really slick looking box, looks nice on top of tv or in entertainment center. It comes with a HDMI cable! I guess you could say that the remote is of "normal" size compared to other media players like WDTV. Its no too small and fits good in your hand. Reads NTFS
Cons: The interface is kinda clunky. Some MKVs would stutter or lose color for a minute or two.
Overall Review: I purchased this for my dad, so he could watch all the bluray rips that I have, but later we both decided it would be best just to return this item. I would recommend this if you want all your media at the click of a remote, but don't want to spend the money on a HTPC, but by far HTPCs are far more superior in style and performance.
works ok for me
Pros: Did cut back on some noise. I used this for a Cooler Master Centurion 534 and 1 pack had enough material to fully cover the inside. Makes the inside look nice.
Cons: kinda wish it was a little thicker maybe.
Overall Review: be sure to leave a 1 inch space at the very back of your side panel to be able to fit it back on the case :-) Installation and trimming do take awhile so be patient people. put some music on.
slick
Pros: Mouse has a simple nice look. no crazy designs here. Fits my hand great and buttons seem durable. Has a thin cord of a good enough length. The scroll wheel button isn't too sensitive, so no more accidental clicks when i scroll down or up in web pages.
Cons: Kinda wish the Back and Forward buttons where the other way around. I tend to hit forward when trying to go back..
Overall Review: bought this to replace a mouse with a dying right click. Happy i did. Wired over wireless any day.
1 good 1 bad?
Pros: I purchased 2 of these to replace 2 stock case fans in my Coolermaster Centurion 534. They are louder at 100% compared to the stock fans, except these fans actually move air. My CPU (E8400) temps dropped 9*C and my GPU (EVGA 9800GT) dropped about 4*C but it still can fry an egg. The design of the fans is awesome semi-transparent and no dorky lights. True Beauty.
Cons: Out of the 2 I purchased 1 seems to be having trouble. If i should decrease the fan speed to anything lower than 100% I end up with a sort of pulsing winding sound. So if i set the fan to 99% it sounds like its dying...
Overall Review: Stop with the blue LED fans... buy these :-)
