Pros: At first I thought it was a bad unit like all five duds from Logitech in one week from Best Buy but after letting it charge for many hours it powered up fine and has been a solid performer since. The greedy disgusting MS wants 180 bucks for their new controller which is completely insane and pure greedy. This controller is solid and performs very well and I would definitely buy again just like their Motherboards. The MSI Force GC30V2 gets my two thumbs up for a solid performer and I feel I definitely got my monies worth. I haven't tried the Android connection yet but I an sure it would work great as it does with windows.

Cons: Very solid feel in your hands just like the original MS controller. Internal battery last a good while. So far so good with no complaints,

Overall Review: Yes I would recommend this controller to anyone no matter where you purchase it. A good solid performer is just that no matter where you get it from. Thanks MSI for thinking of the customer first and not profit and information collection like MS does.

Pros: Fairly good build quality looks nice.

Cons: lacks power supply, lacks rear fan, case cover is flimsy at bottom. Power supply brackets are not reversible to other side of case. mother board cable to short to reach so i had to reverse power supply which works fine but now it's just laying in the case with now way to secure it. WAY WAY OVER PRICED! hard drive bay doors are really cheep, i'm afraid i will break them.

Overall Review: poor design of power supply bracket. the designers anticipated power supply being reversed because their are escape holes on both sides of box so why the heck didn't they make the bracket reversible instead of spot welding it to the case bottom (STUPID). after i ordered this sorry case i found one on the bay for the same price that came with a rear fan and 300 watt power supply for the same price. i think it was C-1 buy it not this greedy manufacture.

Pros: it works. it was my first supermicro board and it won't be the last. boots a little slow but has lots of options. recognized everything and had NO issues what so ever. nice to have internal usb A plug on board just wish the other header was that way but got header usb 3 adapter and is humming along.

Cons: Sata 3 only two with 4 sata 2 NO VD-T support this i am very mad about. i might not of purchased this board if i had done more homework. but the end result is great. has Marvell Nic Transceiver back end (YUCK)

Overall Review: Board is humming along with 32 gig of memory, 5 2 TB reds, two usb's and one 240GB Kingston HyperX with ESXI, PFSense and FreeNAS. be sure to change your MBuf's in PFsense immediately or it will panic and freeze with your nic's. amazing to have everything in one box at 20 watts. can have multiple friends over and everyone listening to there own music or video all behind a dedicated firewall. all attacks stopped once behind PFsense. i love it, yes i would by again

Pros: Wow all three i received work.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: would buy again, i really like the cute little bubble wrap pouches the hard drives come with. working good in home server with FreeNAS with ZFS

Pros: Very good hard drive. i have had in gaming case for 11/2 years so i picked up another for supermicro server.......very nice

Cons: none that i can think of

Overall Review: i have had good luck with Kingston Hard drives... fast and reliable.

Pros: Very good memory works as advertised. i picked up 32 gig for supermicro A1SRi 2758 server board running ESXI, PFSense and FreeNAS.

Cons: Newegg's partner took almost six days to ship from date of invoice (how Pathetic)

Overall Review: would buy again but be for warned "you will wait for it"
