Most Critical Review

Sometimes Troublesome

D-Link DAP-2553 Wireless Access Point Selectable Dual Band AirPremier PoE IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz up to 300Mbps/ Multiple SSID, 802.1Q VLAN
D-Link DAP-2553 Wireless Access Point Selectable Dual Band AirPremier PoE IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz up to 300Mbps/ Multiple SSID, 802.1Q VLAN

Pros: Good signal coverage Easy to setup Good connection, once configured

Cons: Dual SSID does not work that well DHCP passthrough does not work that well

Overall Review: I bought two of these units for a small office. I was hoping to configure them so that the master router would still act as the DHCP host. I had all sorts of latency problems using this configuration. Ended up setting the units up to be DHCP hosts, and this solved the problem. The dual SSID is only useful if you have an advanced router, which can do the heavy lifting of subnet delegation.

Great Case, plenty of room

Pros: Solid construction. Fits a full size ATX PSU. Lots of room for extra Hard drives.

Cons: I wish it would have included a 120mm filter for the intake fan, easy remedy though. The front panel USB 3.0 cables are a bit long and hard to manage.

Overall Review: Make sure to check your dimensions, if you are going to buy a CPU tower cooler. I am using the "DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm GABRIEL CPU Cooler", which just barley fits under the PSU. I am not using a water cooler, which I think this case was meant for, since the front part of the case is pretty much empty.

Small, perfect for Mini-ITX build

Pros: Great power efficiency for this GPU. The form factor is small, so it fit great in my Mini-ITX build. Does not require an external Power Supply Connection, all power routed through the Mother Board.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Not the fastest GPU around, but depending on your build goals this unit is great. I wanted a low power, decent number of CUDA cores Nvidea GPU and this was the ticket. I am using it for some number crunching on a Mini-ITX build.

Pros: Easy Install. Low Power.

Cons: none

Overall Review: This unit does not come with a SATAIII cable, so make sure to pick one up.

Quite Fan, only comes with 4pin ATX plug

Pros: As advertised. The Fan is very quite. Good power efficiency.

Cons: Not really a problem, I was a little surprised that it only comes with one 4-pin ATX CPU plug. (Normally, you get a 24pin ATX and two 4-pin ATX plugs). This only matters if you are running a power hungry CPU. Which you probably would have bought a bigger PS anyways.

Overall Review: As mentioned, this is a 300W PS which comes with a single 4-pin ATX CPU connector. I am using this on a Intel low power 65W CPU, so it works great for me. If you are running a bigger CPU, this will not work for you.

Good

This is a good Chinese Direct seller. Expect your packages to be dropped shipped from China. First time they made a mistake on the shipping address, but then they corrected it and did express shipping from China. All in all, good service.
