nice card for price

Pros: the cards cheap the card plays all my games on high settings at playable frame rates plays crysis 3, battlefield 3, just cause 2, alien vs predator, I was even able to watch a movie on my big screen and play just cause 2 at the same time with this card by hooking up the right cables to the back of the card.
Cons: its a great card for around $100, but if I had the money, I'd like to see what the higher end cards could do. I use to run two Nvidia GTX 570s in SLI before i sold that computer, this card doesn't compare, but for the price, it sure will play any game you want on it.
okay

Pros: nice design, and mouse, its wireless
Cons: it looses connection between my computer 7 feet away and me on the couch, theres a glass table in the way, but hey.
Overall Review: seems to be okay though, may just be my envirorment, id have to recommend it.

Pros: it has all the cool features of a commercial grade firewall for $350-$400. ACL, HTTP/protocol inspections, regular expression filters, I mean i can sit here all day explaining this thing, its like a rocket ship. I had a lot of excitement picking this ASA5505 up, and all the features were really cool, I had the high security template applied to it once, and it wouldn't let me go to any website that was like a huge corporation, it was pretty scary actually, it didn't even let me go to some Microsoft websites.
Cons: it comes with a very small return window. I have had issues with this thing since day one, on top of that, i kept it because i was just misconfiguration it or something, but no, it had and has many faulty moments i, its run time. it refused now to even apply access controls that are predefined. I just reset this thing multiple times, I'm about to drive over it with my car. You also don't have access to Ciscos "operating systems" or "firmware" without purchasing more stuff from cisco, like a service contract, Now I have no firmware for it, and I'm thinking it came faulty from the factory and I had no idea or enough time to test it. even if it was destroyed in a lightening storm, I still have no firmware to flash the corrupted firmware.
Overall Review: I went to school for Cisco training, i've gone through CCIE R/S and CCIE Security training.
I'd buy another

Pros: 550ish r/w I want to RAID 0 them I also want to make a raid 5 in addition it installed windows from a USB stick in under 7 minutes, it loads all my brothers very fast you need a HD like this to be able to take advantage of the new processors like the i7 3770K
Cons: it didnt come with a screw driver for me to screw in the hard drive mount
Overall Review: Id buy another. wont go back to a spinning hard drive, i've seen people play basket ball with SSD's before and plugged them in and they were bootable and still use able. a spinning drive wouldn't be. its so quick that when I load programs, the SATA cable actually torques from all the data bits flowing through them that fast
Fast good design

Pros: Highly recommend. I get the same power from this as a big case computer system and mobo. I installed server 2008 in under seven minutes from a USB flash drive onto a SSD hyperX 240. Paired with a i7 3770K
Cons: It didn't come with a screw driver, for assemble so I got to use a knife as a screw driver, but I'm still impressed.
Overall Review: I'd buy another one
Good looking

Pros: Fast, lots of room to do virtualization. Great quality to doesn't look cheap and the hear sinks are awesome and a winner.
Cons: I really wanted the 2600mhz ram sticks to try with my Intel i7 3770K and my SSD because it would have been insane. Things would have just blinked onto my screen. But I didn't want to burn the memory controller out on my i7
Overall Review: Intel shuttle Intel i7 3770K 16GB DDR3 1600 SSD 240 HyperX
