XG VORTEC PSVO-600 600 W ATX12V Power Supply
XG VORTEC PSVO-600 600 W ATX12V Power Supply

Comments: Upgraded to this from a 420Watt PSU and noticed improved stability, and a lot stronger power rails, my system doesnt decide to go flakey when I turn on my cathodes, and my system gets detected at highest settings now in HL2 rather than medium-high, seems my Video card wasnt getting enough power before.

PLANET FPS-1100DG Fast Ethernet Print Server 802.11b / g, RJ45 1 x 36-pin Centronics (male)

Pros: Well its wireless, Plugs directly into the printer to say out of the way and off the desk, also provides 10/100 capability. Works great with my Windows and Linux workstations

Cons: Doesnt seem to like working as a DHCP client, got it all setup to what i thought would work and it wouldnt connect to anything. Their Website doesnt provide much on contacting someone if you need help on something that isnt listed in their manual such as how to reset it back to factory defaults if you cant get into the device.

Overall Review: Works wonderfully once you figure things out with it. Just hold the Reset button in for 5 to 10 seconds while the unit is plugged in to get it to reset back to factory defaults. Web interface is easier to use then trying to get their software to work.

Decent Dual monitor mount

Pros: This is a great mount to free up the desk space under the monitor where it's factory stand could be sitting, great mounting options whether it be to the desk, through a cable management hole, or a small hole through the desk, plenty of options available for this.

Cons: Difficult to get the monitors to match up, I have two Asus 24" monitors and could not get them to match up bezel to bezel and be level at the same time, I could not find where the problem was at, the upright was level, the crossbar was level, but if I made the monitors level, they would be kind of stair stepped. Another problem I had with this was the tiny set screws for the height ring for the cross bar, I could not make these tight enough without stripping out the heads or the allen wrench and keep it from slowly sliding down the post. I fixed this by getting it to where I needed it to be and drilling holes through where the set screws would be and using different screws to keep it from moving.

Overall Review: Other than it's two problems listed above, and with finding a way of setting the monitors up where it didn't bother me that they were offset this was a great stand for me, but I have now upgraded to a triple monitor mount.

Great product

iStarUSA WJ-1245 12U 450mm Depth Simple Server Rack

Pros: Very easy to put together, very sturdy once assembled, all parts in great shape and included the rack screws to mount servers into the rack, even thought I ordered triplite rack screws just in case.

Cons: No instructions, but its simple enough.

Overall Review: not sure what other reviewers were talking about on having to hammer this thing to get holes to line up, everything on this lined up perfectly.

Comments: Very Nice Card, Great Linux Support, Amazingly Easy setup, Have 6 250Gb drives on this, Detected them all without a problem and guided me thru creating the 1.2Tb Raid5 Array, All went Flawlessly. Provided Cables were a bit long for my application but my hotswap cage came with cables as well.

Comments: Great Monitor for my mom, I bought this to give to my mom for christmas this year because she uses her computer at night most the time with the lights off, and this would be better on the eyes. I plugged it all in to test it out, the sound from the speakers isnt half bad, and the screen looks great, no dead pixels. Shipped in 2 days.
