Pros: Best console

Cons: See below

Overall Review: This is to correct what "Frost" complained about actual disk space of the 320GB HD. "Frost" complained that he only see "290GB available out of the box". To correct him, here is the fact: I can see 298GB out of the box, and 320GB is 320,000,000,000B, you need to devide it by 1024 3 times which gives you 298GB. This is true to all drives, when you buy a 4.7GB DVDR, it is 4.36GB, a 16GB USB flash drive gives you 14.9GB, a 2TB hard drive gives you 1.7XGB space. It is not MS's fault!

Pros: Plays almost all video files I have.

Cons: UI is not good for youtube, no netflix. Has problem to handle >20Mbps mkvs through LAN.

Overall Review: I planned to use it to stream video from NAS. But it failed to do it due to 20Mbps limitation. WD TV plus can do it. I am not sure if it is caused by the weak CPU or the poor software.

Pros: Small, cute, pretty fast, good Hackintosh candidate

Cons: No power cable. No built-in wifi/BT no displayport (for 27/30 monitor) No analog audio output No usb 3.0

Overall Review: I understand NUC is designed for HTPC, but I would like to use it as smaller desktop replacement and especially for hackintosh. it is perfect for HTPC but I would like to see it has wifi/BT card (cost $8 at fleabay) built-in, usb3.0 and analog audio out. I also hope it has one DP port for 1600P graphics. But overall it is good one, only if it has those features I listed, I would get 2 more.

Pros: Zotac H77 ITX motherboard defaulted at 1333Mhz. Manually changed to 1600Mhz. Timing was set to 9-9-9-24 automatically. Ran Memorytest86+ for whole night, no error.

Cons: NA.

Overall Review: System: Zotac H77-ITX with wifi I5-3570K Samsung 830 128GB Antec ISK110

Pros: small package just like apple product. no power block. easy to use (plug and use). low cost (1/3 cost of apple airport express)

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Just back from China and most hotels there have no wifi, just LAN. This little router just need plug in to create wifi HP. It never fails me. It feels a little plastic (not round and solid like Airport Express) but I cannot complain for twenty dollars.

Pros: Decent sound, iphone 4 compatible, has a remote, has AUX/optical in.

Cons: it is not loud as it is a personal speaker, but given its original price, I think this is con. But don't make it wrong, it is loud enough for a small if you turn up volume. It is bulky, given its functions and its volume. It won't turn on/off automatically so if I want to use iphone as a night stand + alarm clock, I have to keep it on all the time. I will check power consumption later and follow up. Power supply design is not good. it is laptop PSU style.

Overall Review: 1. It's bulky for its sound volume, but, it is a personal speaker, so I won't complain. 2. Since I mainly use it as background radio in bedroom so it is loud enough for me. 3. I can put ipad on it, but the charging current is ONLY 0.5A, so ipad won't get charged. I hope it could be more compact, has room for battery to built in so I can use my own AA rechargables.
