Nice Feel, a little light weight
Pros: Good overall feel in the hand.
Cons: Slightly too lightweight for my tastes. Makes a bit too easy to move around.
No 64bit driver
Pros: Bought this to use it as a dongle for software that keys itself to a MAC address. There is no 64bit driver (last I checked).
Cons: No 64bit driver.
Overall Review: It is a slow 100Mbit adapter (i.e. it isn't gigE). This old technology may not be expected to work with modern 64bit OSes.
One of the best UPS batteries
Pros: CSB are (a very close) second only to BB Batteries when it comes to UPS batteries. These are the high rate models, that work well in high end UPSes.. The price is pretty good. Shipping seems to be the same for 8 batteries vs. 1 so buy in quantity.
Cons: Could be free... Or at least a hint cheaper. Shipping is pricey for a single battery. Buy in bulk to save.
Work as a dongle for node locked software
Pros: I got this to act as a dongle for software that is node locked to a specific MAC address. It works great for this. The driver offers a user settable MAC address in case you lose it you can set another dongle to the same MAC address. Drivers for all versions of Windoze
Cons: 100 base T
Moves a good amount of air
Pros: Moves a good amount of air for a PCI blower.... moreso than any of the others I have tried.
Cons: Takes up a PCI slot. No three or four pin variable speed connector. (Full power Molex only.)
Overall Review: I use these in every one of my i7s in my render farm (all rack mount). They help suck out more heat.
Quiestest Fan - Moves Air well
Pros: Extremely quiet. Variable Speed. Includes isolation dampeners (rubber mounts) to reduce noise further. This is the best fan I have ever seen. It will make you appreciate quality parts even with what I thought was a commodity item. Totally worth the extra 5-7 bucks.
Cons: A little more expensive than simple fans.
Overall Review: Will use in all future machines.
