Great Fan, Poor Documentation

Pros: This is a great fan. It's quiet, and moves a lot of air. The rubberized mounting holes are brilliant and negate the need for extra insulation hardware or gaskets to reduce noise. The interchangeable colored rings are a cool feature. The rings themselves are much sturdier than I expected. The overall design and appearance of the fan is excellent. It's a beatiful fan.
Cons: The biggest issue with this fan is its lack of documentation. While normally a fan is pretty straight forward and shouldn't require much documentation this fan was designed with a specific use in mind. This fan is designed to operate with unrestricted airflow. If you go to the website they specifically state that this fan requires at least 3cm clearance for optimal performance. It's not designed to be used in restrictive spaces, with radiators, or even with filters that restrict airflow. This seemingly important information is not mentioned anywhere on the box or in any of the included documentation. If a product is designed with specialized features or intended applications it should be clearly documented with the product. Also, the fan includes an extender which is only 2"" long. An extender should be a little longer than 2"". 6"" or longer would be more appropriate.
Overall Review: The box suggests using a screw driver to push the clip to release the colored rings. I wouldn't recommend that as it could scratch the rings. It can be done by hand easily enough.
Terrible - Won't stay connected

Pros: None
Cons: This product will not stay connected for more than a day a fails to reconnect to the network. It's useless. Even when it does work the range is far less than advertised.
Overall Review: Don't waste your money. Buy something else.
Awesome Mask!

Pros: I love this mask. I get compliments on it all the time. It's comfortable, lightweight, looks cool, and fits perfectly. The thermal lens is great and is easy to change. The head strap is easy to remove and wash as needed. There aren't any crevices on the mask that make it difficult to clean. Easy to maintain. Fits fine over glasses. I've also seen comments on the web that there are certian prescription combat lenses that will fit into this helmet.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have mounted a contour roam camera to the side of this mask. It fits PERFECTLY with the small mount that comes with the camera. It is a truly awesome set up.
Loud and Strong

Pros: This thing is loud, but moves some serious air. I purchased it to replace a failed CPU fan on an old HP that has a slotted Pentium 2. It's working great.
Cons: Loud, but it is what it is. Anything that moved this much air is going to be loud.
Fast and Reliable

Pros: Fast and Reliable. I bought this drive because I had been having the "stuttering" issues with multiple OCZ solid state drives. This Samsung drive has worked flawlessly and not given me any trouble. The anodized finish is also really nice.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: This is an odd thing to mention, but I'm using this drive in an application where I'm docking and undocking it multiple times every day. Even with this abuse it's holding up just fine.
2 RMA's in 6 months

Pros: Great when they work
Cons: They don't work for long. I've had to RMA this drive twice since I bought it. The first one died completely and all data was unrecoverable. I RMA'd and the replacement lasted only 2 months. The second time I started having system lock ups and very long delays. It was behaving like a badly overheating system, but I had no heat or power issues whatsoever. I suspected the drive so I tried doing a fresh install. The install didn't change anything. Over the next week the lock ups got worse and worse until the system was completely unusable and would no longer reboot. I threw an old 5400rpm drive in there to test it and it worked fine. So, I sent it back to OCZ. Friday I get a call from their RMA department and they tell me the drive tested fine and they'll be sending me the same drive back. Shameful. I know the drive is at fault, but they've had such a high fall out of these drives that they're cutting corners on customer support.
Overall Review: I'm done with OCZ. They've made some great products in the past, but their decision to outsource and sell drives with substandard components to their customers (and try to sell it off as the original good version) is unforgiveable. Top that with the fact that they're trying to stop the bleeding by refusing to replace with good drives and they've permanently lost a customer. I'll never buy another product from them. And OCZ, if you're reading this don't bother with a manufacturer response. My time is valuable and I'm done letting you waste it.
