High quality product

SUPERMICRO AS-2042G-6RF 2U Rackmount Server Barebone Quad Socket G34 AMD SR5690/SR5670 DDR3 1600/1333/1066
SUPERMICRO AS-2042G-6RF 2U Rackmount Server Barebone Quad Socket G34 AMD SR5690/SR5670 DDR3 1600/1333/1066

Pros: High quality server, worked out of the box. Plenty of expansion ports. Built-in RAID (limited to 0, 1, and 10 - no 5 or 6). Dedicated IPMI port, which can be utilized for general networking. Excellent support from Supermicro's 24/7 SuperServer hotline.

Cons: Fans are loud at full speed, but if you set the BIOS fan settings to energy savings, they are quite tolerable. No cable management arm made by Supermicro to fit the server.

Overall Review: It would be great if this product came in 2.5" hard drive slot version - to really pack in the drives.

Ok, not that great

APC AR8129 Cable Management Arm
APC AR8129 Cable Management Arm

Pros: Gives you basic cable management to allow sliding out a rackmount server without uncabling.

Cons: Doesn't fit very well, a little flimsy. Overall, I expected a better product from a company like APC.

Solidly built product - like a tank!

Shuttle DS61 V1.1 Intel H61 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Shuttle DS61 V1.1 Intel H61 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Small form factor, rugged construction, vesa mount capable, well designed, and all metal case will help a LOT with heat dissipation. Excellent customer and technical support - super fast, super knowledgeable.

Cons: A little pricey, and the bundled instructions aren't that great. Also, be careful of using the USB3.0 ports to install Windows 7, which doesn't have native USB3.0 drivers - not an issue, just use one of the USB2.0 ports.

Excellent product

Cables Unlimited UTP-7010-99 Select Cat6 2 Piece Connector  100 Pack
Cables Unlimited UTP-7010-99 Select Cat6 2 Piece Connector 100 Pack

Pros: Excellent cat6 terminators. Two-piece design makes it easy to comply with <1/2" untwisted conductors. Actually, I'm down to about 1/4", which goes a long way for long cable runs.

Cons: No cons of the product really, but the packaging is inconvenient. It would be nice if it were a sturdy PE bag, as is usual for this many connectors, instead of the clumsy plastic shell stapled to a card. I remedied this by moving them to a plastic zipper bag.

Overall Review: Would also be helpful if the loader came in non-clear, to make it easier to see its position.

Does the job

APC SU032A 4-Post Rackmount Rails

Pros: Sturdy, well-built, rails, with sufficient screws, as expected from a quality brand like APC. The adjustable rails accommodate almost any size 4 post rack or enclosure.

Cons: Doesn't come with mounting ears for the UPS itself.
