Great case
Pros: I wasn't really expecting much from a $40 case but was pleasantly surprised. The metal is a fairly decent gauge. It comes apart fairly easy with sides that slide up and down. You can use a normal ATX power supply or you can remove the adapter plate and install a larger server power supply. Plenty of room to work inside and install everything. The pop out feet remind me of the older Compaq server cases.
Cons: Not that I really care but the motherboard tray isn't removable. It would be nice if it had more hard drive slots. I would probably call this case a workstation case rather than a server case.
Overall Review: Overall it's a very well made case that will surprise you. The picture is deceiving because it is larger than it appears. If I hadn't already purchased a case for the main desktop machine, I would be buying another one of these.
Good size but slow write speed
Pros: Nice having 8GB around all the time and the read speed is pretty good. Good price for the amount of storage.
Cons: Sloowwww write speed on multiple files. I just did a copy test of 101MB of 14 mp3 files ranging from 4.36MB to 15.6MB. Copying to the drive (writing) took 2min 45sec. Copying from (reading) these files took 22 secs.
Overall Review: I've tried all of the recommended steps for other flash drives (EG; reformatting, repartioning, different partition types) and none of them seem to make a difference. I may go back to my 2GB adata drive which was super fast.
Nice for the price
Pros: Low price, large size, bright screen.
Cons: Need to change color format if using nVidia. See other thoughts
Overall Review: When I first plugged this monitor in, it was really washed out. I adjusted the settings on the monitor but it was only a little better. I did some googling and found out that with some nVidia cards, you have to change the "Digital color format" in the nVidia control panel to "YCbCr444" instead of "RGB". Once I did that, it made a HUGE difference. I almost returned the monitor before making this change. Now I'm glad I didn't.
Great picture and sound for the price
Pros: Great contrast. Sound is a nice full sound with simulated surround and separate treble/bass settings.. Lots of inputs for devices. Recognizes digital/hd channels from cable input. Separate color/brightness settings for each input.
Cons: Remote isn't laid out very well. Had one dead pixel.
Overall Review: The dead pixel isn't noticeable from 7 feet so I can't really complain but if I get 3 or more dead pixels later on I'll be contacting Hyundai to get it fixed. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality.
