Supports OpenBSD52
Pros: Got this for my OpenBSD firewall build and it is quite a joy to have. Gigabit connection at full duplex. Really speeded up my bulk file transfers.
Cons: There is no low profile bracket included
Overall Review: Realtek RTL8168E - 2Transmit 3Receive
You are kidding me, right?
Pros: I was excited when it arrived on Thu. - dead by Sat. You are kidding me, right? I used it to replace another D-Link that had died. I am really frustrated over this becuase I didn't even get to put my standby switch back where I got it from.
Cons: No more D-Link failures for me. EVER!
Overall Review: Trying to get a RMA for this
Neat little embedded mobo
Pros: Running this as a firewall appliance using OpenBSD5.2 and the (2) Realtek NICs are fully supported. What a dream. Just drop in a PCI Wifi card and turn it into an AP.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: These also have (2) PS/2 ports for a keyboard AND a mouse while developing your appliance applications.
Just a little somethin somethin
Pros: Neat little proc for very small PCs. I just need something to tuck away in a corner. This CPU generates very little heat and the whole PC only pulls about 19 watts (Kill-a-watt)
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Get one of these to drop in your 1155 socket so you can get running while you save up for the higher CPUs. These are fast on their own.
Quick little SSD
Pros: Great for appliance build with 6GB SATA and Sandforce controller. Really fast throughput when used for database rebuilds.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I like these SSDs esp. when they are on sale. Go Newegg!
Works like a champ- as an AP
Pros: The good news is that it is supported on OpenBSD5.2 working as an AP.
Cons: None at the moment.
Overall Review: Also includes the low profile bracket for your teeny tiny openbsd firewall appliance build.
