Great Small Business Firewall

Pros: Great firewall for small organizations. Configures exactly as the more expensive 5510. Full featured. Can be setup to do anything. Expensive (compared to netgear or linksys) - but worth every dime, as you can create more complex configurations that are impossible with the cheaper firewalls.
Cons: No Internal fans. Label on the bottom of the device says "CAUTION - component surfaces may be hot" - while likely intended to mean internal components, the outside of the case even gets very hot. A small fan directed toward the device takes care of it.
Overall Review: Device is physically smaller than it looks in the pictures.
Nice Server Board

Pros: Nice layout. Everything oriented for front to back air flow. (including memory). Nice setup for a rack mount chassis. Good fast board.
Cons: None
Overall Review: The board has more jumpers and switches than I've seen on a MB in a long time. The default setup works out of the box.
Nearly a work of art

Pros: Very nice case. Rolled edges, fit and finish are excellent. Internal wiring easly routed. Will certainly use the case in future projects.
Cons: Power supply not supported on the front side. Only held in by back mounts.
Overall Review: Good cooling, appears to be capable of redundant power supply setup.
Decent Wireless

Pros: Good solid package. Works well with other Netgear products. Have a L*****s wireless router in the same room, wireless clients always attach to the Netgear.
Cons: VPN Setup not consistent between products. Takes a little monkeying around.
Overall Review: Have 4 of these devices for a VPN. This device does not support AES (The FVS318 device supports multiple flavors of AES). Only encryption options for this device are DES and 3DES.
Rockin' View

Pros: Great Monitor. Contrast Great, Bright screen, works great w/ applications and video. No dead pixels. Arrived in two days w/ standard shipping. NewEgg ROCKS!
Cons: None
Overall Review: No speakers, but who buys a widescreen for the speakers?
