Great Performance

Pros: Dual Core for s939. Outstanding performance
Cons: none
Overall Review: I bought this to extend the life of my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium another year or so. Used it to replace a FX57 (I can't beleive I paid over $1k for that thing). My 3Dmarko6 score went from 5887 to 7491 with just the cpu upgrade alone - this is with stock speed on the 185 and the FX57 OC'd to 3Ghz. I've since OC'd the 185 to 3.12Ghz and upgrade vga to an 8800 GTS 640Mb
Nice, But......

Pros: Looks Great. Adds "bling" to your front panel. Controls fans as described. Four temp probes.
Cons: Can't see display unless head on. Fan speed controlled/displayed as RPM (I'd prefer percentage). No heat threshold alarms.
Overall Review: The field of view for the front panel is very narrow. Unless the panel is at your eye level, it's impossible to read. I don't like having to sit on the floor to read and adjust. It's advertised to control four fans. However, the 4th fan must be a PWM fan, so keep that in mind. The four temp probes are nice. What's missing, though is a temp alarm threshold. I'd like the ability to set a temp threshold that would a) then give an audible alarm, and b) automatically rev up the fans until temps drop below that threshold. There are other controllers that have these features.
Great for HTPC

Pros: Bought for my HTPC and it works VERY WELL!! I worried about the battery power, but I've only had to replace batteries once. Trackball is smoother than I had anticipated.
Cons: Would be nice to have CAPS and NUM lock lights, but that might consume more power. Not really a big deal.
Overall Review: Track Ball probably would not be good for FPS gaming, but for HTPC this KB is GREAT!!
Great HTPC Case

Pros: Relativley roomy (as HTPCs go). Plenty of HDD space. GREAT looks in my media rack. With the rebate at the time of purchase, and outstanding buy.
Cons: Bay door coversdon't add much in a closed rack. Could use more cooling. for those two items I give it 4 stars instead of 5, though I am very happy with this case.
Overall Review: Keep in mind that ALL HTPC cases will present a space challenge. This one provides lots more space than most. I have installed three HDDs into the cage and have room for 2-3 more. For a VGA card I'd suggest a HD4670 cause it is low power, doesn't need a separate PCIE cable from the PSU, and mine runs BD with out hiccups.
Great for HTPC

Pros: Noiseless, low power consuption, which is essential for a Home Theater PC. Fits perfectly into my Silverstone GD01B-MXR media center case (ATX).
Cons: No HDMI out. Purchased a DVI-HDMI cable
Overall Review: Plays my Blu-Ray disk without a hiccup. Paying for the fanless design was well worth the extra money.
Inexpensive 8 port wired Router

Pros: * 10/100 wired Ports
Cons: I tired to upgrade the firmware and the unit bricked. Sent to D-Link who replaced it.
Overall Review: My home is wired in jut about every room, so a wired router was important to me (I do have a wireless access point for wireless). This unit was inexpensive and is doing the job. I don't reall need the VPN functions.
