Great case for the price
Pros: Cheap price, well made! Fully supported under Ubuntu Linux. Comes with cable and card. Cooling is good. Fan is silent.
Cons: Non Locking ESATA Cable, and cable is a bit stiff. Blue Lights on the fan (Why?) (Can be cut as they are exposed) Have to remove cover to remove drives. Not a big deal!
Overall Review: For those of you that say you can not remove the drives. Just loosen the thumb screws holding the drive in, and use them to slide the drive forward. I am using this with a MythTV setup and 1TB WD black drives. Wish I would have purchased 2 when they were on sale.
Good 1 Gig Switch
Pros: Wanted to upgrade the home network to 1GB, Low Power. 1GB verified with 100MB items plugged in.
Cons: None
Works good on Mac
Pros: Bought this for my daughter to use on an older mac. She had no problems getting it to work.
Cons: None
Great for MythTV
Pros: Works Great for MythTV, has good range, good Price
Cons: None
Good Economical Power Supply
Pros: Cheap, Good Cooling, Quiet.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Purchased this for new green server I was building to run Linux. Could use a few more sata plugs, but most supplies do not have enough for a server.
Good Cheap Processor
Pros: Good price, and quick processor, and low power
Cons: None
Overall Review: Using this with Ubuntu Linux for a MythTV backend. Wanted to reduce the watts I was consuming on my server with out compromising performance.
