Pros: Made it through the washer and dryer just fine.

Cons: Somewhat slow transfer rate.

Overall Review: Good drive; I'd recommend buying it.

Pros: This was professionally refurbished, and it was packed perfectly with expanded foam.

Cons: They forgot to put screws on the power supply, but that was a quick fix...

Pros: Great specs (12GB RAM and the core i7 really deliver... and the 3GB of video ram is ludicrous). Very easy to upgrade (RAM is in 3 slots, and there are 4 on the motherboard... dropped in a $17 stick of RAM and now I have 16GB. Plus, they give you an extra hard drive bay *AND* mounting hardware. Pretty solidly built, too.

Cons: As other reviewers have noted, the keyboard is a bit finicky, and will require a bit more force than some folks are used to. The touchpad gestures also take getting used it... they work similar to those of a Mac, but not as well.

Overall Review: Just a few minor "imperfections" take away an egg, but this is a fantastic piece of kit for the price.

Pros: Cheap, looks good. Comes with plenty of screws. Has a lot of room inside for a MicroATX form factor.

Cons: It's very easy to break the capacitors off of the board that houses the front panel connections. If you use the 3.5" internal drive bay (the one *under* the removable carriage), you *must* use a hard drive that is comparatively thin or it will not fit. That pretty much means you're stuck with SATA hard drives. Also, the fan can interfere with drive mounting. Plug the interface cable in *before* you slide the removable carriage back into place.

Overall Review: I have built 3 computers with this case today... and I would consider it for future builds.

Pros: Reads and writes just about everything I can throw at it, with the exception of the high-def optical formats. Everything works flawlessly with the latest version of Nero on Windows Vista Ultimate.

Cons: None to speak of.

Overall Review: I have two of these in my primary computer, and I use them in every computer I build for other people. So far, everyone has *loved* these drives. And they're CHEAP!

Pros: Great switch for the price. Easy-to-use web management interface, switch is fast enough that it appears completely transparent in our network.

Cons: Most managed switches come with the management turned off out of the box. This one comes out of the box with an IP address. I spent the better part of two days troubleshooting our router before realizing it had an IP conflict with this unit!

Overall Review: I suppose I should have read the manual first, but it didn't come with a printed manual, just one on CD.
