Love it....
Pros: Easy to use controls. Good sound quality (for podcasts or audio books which is all I listen too). Battery life (see Other Thoughts). Works nicely with Linux. Love the price. Will probably buy a couple more for gifts.
Cons: The battery it came with but see Other Thoughts
Overall Review: This is a great little player. It takes batteries and came with one that was dead. I really wasn't disappointed as I didn't expect it to come with one so got batteries for it anyway. The batteris I got were Everready Golds. I am still using the first one I put in it so I am 100% certain that I have gotten well over 16 hours of battery life since I use it every day and have had it since early January. I have no complaints.
Serious air movement
Pros: This fan moves some serious air! It keeps the internal temperature much lower.
Cons: This fan would have gotten a higher rating, good, or even excellent, except for on thing, it is REALLY loud!
Overall Review: Good fan, my biggest complaint about this order wasn't anything to do with the products, but that DHL handed it off to USPS where it sat in a city, 20 miles from my house, for 5 days! That was irritating.
Booting issues
Pros: Seems like a good motherboard, inexpensive runs well for what I can get it to do.
Cons: I can't get it too boot off the harddrive. It see thge dri=ve asnd I can install my operating system on it (Ubuntu 64 bit 13.04 or 13.10) but wneh I try to boot with it I get "Error: Attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'." If I boot into Puppy (which is what I have been hhaving to use for months) it works finne. I can access the drive.
Overall Review: It's annoying.
Nice ram!
Pros: Good Ram, very solid, ran it through a ram test and it did just fine.
Cons: none
