Pros: Nice Looking; Good price for a factory OC’d unit (factoring in the rebate); Fans are fairly quiet even under a load; Includes a MOLEX to PCIe six pin pass through adapter, a DSUB to DVI adapter and a CrossFire bridge as well as some Interesting utility software.

Cons: Not many here and nothing that costs an egg; Mine came with the 11.6 Catalyst drivers, I recommend you upgrade to 11.11 or 11.12. The CD with the drivers didn’t work but that happens sometimes and I was able to get updated drivers directly from AMD and current utilities from Gigabyte.

Overall Review: I purchased this card to replace an ageing HD5670 that I use on my test bench and it is working out well. On a board with a stock i7 960 and 6Gig of 1600MHz RAM I managed respectable test scores from both Cinebench and Future Mark Vantage right out of the box BUT if you are planning on using this card for gaming buy 2 or think about spending not-a-lot-more $ on 2x6870’s. Regarding the rebate process: I think Gigabyte set this up for failure, the UPC bar code (which is very small) is separate from the product sticker (which is very large) and the rebate form requires both. The UPC is on the same flap as the product sticker but on the left under the ‘HD’ label. It would be easy to miss. I received confirmation/approval of my submission in about a week.

Pros: Great when it works. Easy to set up, sort of.

Cons: Base unit failed in less than 2 weeks. Base unit and 2 cameras have failed. No real instructions for set up. Camera mounts, which are magnetic, severely restrict positioning. Optional Indoor/Outdoor Mounts are expensive and poorly made. Tech support is out of country and the reps are clearly reading from scripts with responses triggered by 'buzz words'.

Overall Review: When the next camera fails I will probably go back to my old hard wired system. While everything that has failed has been replaced I feel this is an awfully high failure rate for new equipment. Replacement units are shipped from California via FEDEX ground. I'm on the east coast so replacements take 5+ days to arrive. Somewhere in the manufacturing system quality control has been removed. I bought this system because I wanted the ability to have seamless internet access to my security system and I have been using Ntegear routers and switches for years. This last time I went out of town the second camera failed. The time before that the base unit failed. This system is simply not reliable. I expected better from Netgear. If you are looking for a wireless surveillance system, buy something else. 5/17/18: UPDATE - Since I wrote this review one of the replacement cameras has failed and the replacement base unit has failed. This seems to be a recurring theme. ALL replacements are 'refurbished' hardware. My system is now down. When I called for replacements I requested 'new' and have been told that new replacements are currently unavailable and I will be informed when they in stock. They have no idea when that will be. In the mean time I have no security system. At this point I cannot return the system so I will sell the working parts online and find something I can depend on. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

Pros: Good feel, weight and size. Comfortable.

Cons: Terrible software. Confusing and non-intuitive. Only lasted 1 year and 2 months. It simply stopped working. Deleting and reloading driver, such as it is, didn't help. I'm not a 'gamer' I just like a hefty mouse that fits my hand. So this thing was only used in a non-game environment.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a cheap mouse that's not particularly durable this is a good pick. Otherwise buy something else.

Pros: Micro chassis with 120mm fan support top, front and rear.

Cons: 1. The front cover clips are so tight I had to use a pair of needle nose plyers to compress them otherwise I was certain I would damage the cover. 2. The rear 120mm fan was DOA. 3. I kept looking at the MOBO tray trying to figure out what didn’t look right. Well, it was warped because 2 pop rivets missed their intended holes and left the tray bent. I had to drill out and replace three rivets to get the tray flat.

Overall Review: This is neither an expensive or cheap chassis. That said, this is one of the worst chassis I’ve ever worked with. It seems ‘Quality Control’ is nonexistent. When the chassis arrived It seemed to be fine but when I started prepping it to install the MOBO and associated components the trouble began. (see 'Cons'). Normally I would have simply returned the chassis for a refund and gotten something else but I needed it NOW. Unless you are into buying a DIY project I would look at a different chassis. I thought Thermalake was better than this.

Pros: I have been using Netgear routers for years. They are solid, reliable routers and have the best desktop software and the easiest to understand web based configuration utility of any router manufacturer. You really don't need to be a network engineer to configure the router. So when it was time to upgrade my R6300 I did some research and picked the Nighthawk X4S. I wanted extra range and a faster connection speed. I got both. I also like the ability to turn off the status/activity lights.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I recommend this router to anyone looking to upgrade their WiFi range and capability.

Pros: : 4 x 3.5” HDD cage that fits in 2 x 5.25” bays. Built in Fan. Improved connection layout. Aluminum trays. Aluminum frame.

Cons: Technical support is nonexistent. These units come with a fan switch, ‘High – Auto’, and a temperature alarm buzzer which sounds randomly and always just before the fan kicks into ‘High’. The fan switch only works on ‘Auto’. You are supposed to be able to disabled the buzzer by holding down the ‘Reset’ button for 6 seconds, wait for 2 beeps and then the buzzer should be disabled. It doesn’t work. I held the button down for 2 full minutes with no result Before I return this unit to Newegg I wanted to give iStar a chance to address these issues by opening up a support ticket and detailing the problems. That was 5 business days ago with no reply. There is no other contact information on their site so calling is not possible..

Overall Review: I purchased this unit for a new build. I have 4 other iStar 3 bay cages that work great. I like the unit but the buzzer is truly annoying. I’m really disappointed in iStar for their lack of attention to my issues. I am now going through the tedious task of dismantling the RAID, removing the cage and packing it up to return to Newegg and start looking for a replacement from someone else.
