Couldn't be happier

AMS DS-346TL-BLUE 4in3 Trayless SATA/SAS backplane Module with Blue handle
AMS DS-346TL-BLUE 4in3 Trayless SATA/SAS backplane Module with Blue handle

Pros: First, This thing is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. It has a wonderful brushed finish. High Quality. Installation was super simple. Just slide it in and screw it in place. The hot swap works perfectly, the doors are nice and secure, no play at all. Really a solid bay.

Cons: The locks, although they do work fine, do have a little bit of a cheap feel. This would be worth knocking an egg off for, but they work as intended; just not as nice as the rest of the unit.

Overall Review: If you're looking to set up a little home server using a normal case you should get this. It is a wonderful product and there is no way you will regret getting it. Plan on eventually buying two more of these.

Most Critical Review

Wireless sucks, Wired is good.

Linksys X2000 Wireless Router - IEEE 802.11n

Pros: No issues at all as long as you are hard wired to it.

Cons: Wireless sucks. This router needs to be reset every day or two to maintain connectivity. Stay away from this unless you plan on just using it as a just a wired router.

Pros: Great performance for the price, small profile does not take up loads of space.

Cons: none so far, had it quite a while not a single issue.

Overall Review: Just ordered a second card, will make sure update this on the results of running it in crossfire.

Not bad

APEVIA X-QPACK-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case ATX 420W power supply Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case ATX 420W power supply Power Supply

Pros: Nice affordable case. I used it for my lan rig, could fit a full sized gfx card no problem into it. The temp gauge is easy to set up and works well. Handle is strong enough to actually carry the computer by without fear of it breaking and dropping it.

Cons: The power supply died on me after only a month or two of use. A little more cooling would be nice but cant fault it that much.

Overall Review: If i was looking to build another lan rig I wouldn't pass over this as a consideration. Would go for it if I just needed a case and already had a psu.
