Nice - Short
Pros: Fits in 18" Short Rack on wall. Takes standard ATX power supply (but get short depth PS). Uses nice quiet 120mm case fan.
Cons: like all mATX cases, things are a little crowded.
not so palooza
Pros: I wrote the five egg review but now after several months of ownership I have to downgrade. Performance became intermittant. Switched to the Sabrent 1611 USB2.0 model that I have prior experience with and performance is now stable.
Cons: see above
Pros: great resolution with 4 different types of connectors
Cons: out of stock
Slicker than Snot
Pros: Works. Software automatically downloads. Works on WinXP and Win7-64bit. Works on System with Intel HD 4600 Graphics with 3 monitors already to add a 4th monitor.
Cons: Does not work with Matrox video so it did not work with my Supermicro server's built-in Matrox graphics. This is not disclosed anywhere on NewEgg or the Sabrent packaging or on the Sabrent website. But I finally found this info on the DisplayLink.com's website (they make the main chip for this device): "DisplayLink works with all NVidia, ATI and NVidia and VIA graphics cards under Vista / 7. We do not support the SiS or Matrox graphics cards. DisplayLink may not work if there are multiple graphics cards installed in the PC. DisplayLink does not support ATI crossfire or NVIDIA SLI configurations."
Overall Review: I've got four of these little dudes and except for the caution ("Con") above I highly recommend. I'm going to try their USB3.0 model next.
Totally Fine
Pros: Fantastic Motherboard! Lots of cool tools. Can flash BIOS from Windows. Lights on Motherboard indicate where hardware problems are. Up to 8 SATA6.0 drives (6 on board + 2 external). 4 monitor ports. Intel RAID.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Max of 4 drives on RAID of the 8 available. Max of 3 monitors simultaneously of the 4 available.
Documentation Not Complete
Pros: Lots of connections/ports. Nice layout.
Cons: Documentation not complete. Board not listed on MSI tech support page yet. Requires min of two sticks of RAM. Only two chassis fan connectors. There are 4 display ports but max of 3 may be used at same time.
shipping
Sedna ships US Mail which is lame compared to UPS.
