Pros: + DSM 6.1.3 is fantastic. It is very easy to navigate, and in advanced mode, has all the options you could ask for. + I can sleep well at night knowing this runs the modern BTRFS file system, which is only bested by ZFS. + Excellent Plex Media Server, it has just enough CPU power to handle 4k transcoding without skipping. + Under heavy use, HDD Temps stay very cool, around 40c. Your mileage may vary depending on ambient room temp. + Ram is user upgradeable. Although, 2GB is plenty for me at the moment.

Cons: - Cheaply made chassis, could use a bit more reinforcement. - Cheap drive mounting cages. I would prefer metal at this price point. - Plex Media Server is not currently listed on Package Center. Must be installed manually, not the end of the world just surprising.

Overall Review: I was looking to upgrade my Qnap TS-131P, its underpowered CPU does not allow for video transcoding. It was either this or the Qnap TS-251A. I chose this because it had the more modern CPU. So far, I am very happy with my decision.

Pros: -Silent The fan is about as close to silent as you could hope for. If you need to sleep in the same room as your PC, you should consider this. -Efficient design, with a solid copper base. Stock Cooler (41c idle) (62c load) Silent 1156 (33c idle) (49c load)

Cons: -Very cheap push-pins. No where near the quality of the Intel stock fan in terms of ease of installation. You can take an Intel stock fan off/on all day and not worry. Some serious buyers remorse is setting in. :( I have a horrible feeling it's gonna fall off any second.

Overall Review: This really is a one shot deal. If you screw up, you will bend the living daylights out of the cheap push-pins. Hopefully a v.2 will be coming soon.

Pros: Arrived undamaged.

Cons: - Tons of USB interference. Only the USB 2.0 ports put out a clean signal. Every other USB port has random disconnects and cannot be used with wireless headphones. I was getting a ton of digital audio corruption. This was already a deal breaker but theres more. - Only the top M.2 slot works as intended. The bottom 3 make the drive show up as removable in Windows. Normally, this can be fixed by turning off hot swap, but MSI has removed this setting in their bios. - Disabling your audio in bios does absolutely nothing, windows still tried to install drivers for it. Ive never seen that before.

Overall Review: I replaced this board with a competitors, and magically every issue went away. Maybe I got a lemon, its possible. But its more likely this model has some serious issues. Be careful with your purchase. MSI also had Newegg delete my previous review which is extremely concerning.

Pros: LED came on.

Cons: SATA to USB Control board is dead. 2 of my last 5 enclosures from ORICO have arrived DOA.

Overall Review: Will probably switch to a different brand. It's such a pain to get a refund for such a low valued purchase.

Pros: +Compact size with a quiet fan. +Highly rated from JonnyGURU. +Plenty of cables, especially for those who want to install multiple drives or GPU's. +System works perfectly and displays no oddities due to a faulty PSU.

Cons: - Eco Mode button does nothing. Literally nothing. Fan will run regardless. I've confirmed via my UPS that power usage is below 60 watts while idling on the desktop. Yet the fan still spins (quietly). - Fan will ramp up to 100% randomly, when computer is not in use idling on the desktop. (Power usage well under 60 watts)

Overall Review: My EVGA G3 550watt has none of these issues. I've gone back to that one and have a support ticket open with EVGA. Review will be corrected once a working unit it sent.

Pros: +40hz - 144hz Adaptive Sync Range - No blinking or texture blurring. +Gsync (Adaptive Sync) being enabled and working brilliantly is a game changer. Especially for games that have erratic fps. +Good Colors and average Contrast, great display angle. (advantages of an IPS) +2 HDMI ports is a nice touch, although only 1 is HDMI 2.0.

Cons: -My model has very bad Backlight Bleed on the bottom right corner. -The HDR support is laughable compared to a proper HDR1000 spec. But at least it's there. -Cheap looking PSU, but hopefully looks are deceiving.

Overall Review: I've seen conflicting information on this panel. I've seen some reviews stating it is a 600 nit, FreeSync 2 panel. Direct from Pixio they state that it is a 350 nit, Freesync panel. I'm inclined to believe the manufacturer. For those interested if the built in speakers are acceptable, they aren't. But I knew that coming in and had no bearing on my purchase.
