Small, Portable 32GB
Pros: 32GB on not even a 1.5" metal USB drive Extremely portable Comes with ball style keychain to attach to keys or a keyring
Cons: Metal finish can scratch off over time Can be a bit tight fitting into some USB ports
Excellent case
Pros: Comes with several LED fans pre-equipped Comes with fan controller Tool-less system Windowed side panel is tinted 1 front panel USB 3.0 port Frosted front panel LED indicators
Cons: SATA dock area doesn't come pre-equipped Cable routing could be a bit better
Overall Review: Picked this case up for 90 dollars. It's a bit pricey but considering it includes fans pre-equipped everywhere but the bottom fan, that helps justify price as well as a fan controller to adjust them. The tool-less setup for the system is pretty nice. It's a bit disappointing the system didn't come with the SATA dock pre-equipped as that seems like something that the system definitely should have came with. So it loses an egg for that. The cable routing is adequate, but would have liked to see a bit more space to accommodate all the necessary mobo power cables without too much fuss. The side panel having the convex bend in it does help, but if the system would've been a few MM wider on the right side, I wouldn't be so concerned. Having the front panel LEDs frosted is a nice touch because if the system is at eye level, they aren't terribly bright and distracting.
Great Router after DD-WRT
Pros: Supports DD-WRT (biggest selling point) Triple dipoles Solid range on the stock dipoles Solid brand
Cons: Doesn't come stock with DD-WRT
Overall Review: This router out of the box is like most in terms of functionality, kinda meh firmware. After flashing to DD-WRT firmware though, the router has absolutely everything required for most home use even including assigning static IP's based on mac addresses and proper working UPNP. If you have one of these routers or are considering it, definitely look up DD-WRT and flash it to the router. You won't regret it.
Works beautifully.
Pros: Doubled my RAM GB (from 1 to 2) Excellent Price.
Cons: Couldn't fit more into my system (drawback of a Aspire One D250)
Works Eggcelent
Pros: Works great, reads all dvd and cd media no problem.
Cons: No beige front plates (why don't manufacturers make beige/white front plates anymore?)
Overall Review: Drive works great. Had to buy a SATA DVDRW after making a FM1 socket setup (as new mobos don't seem to support IDE anymore). Just a bit dissapointed that noone seems to make beige front plates for their drives anymore. Oh well, just took some krylon paint to it and came out ok.
Great Card
Pros: EVGA 10 Year Warranty (registered during time of 10 year warranty availability) Good overclock capability Reputable brand with excellent customer support
Cons: Card could have used a better cooling system more like the older GTX 460's (flower with heatpipes). Fan whines at 70% fan speed (the cap of the fan speed). Fried the first card (not entirely blaming EVGA because could have happened to any brand really)
Overall Review: Card works pretty good. Can get a good overclock head on it using MSI afterburner after upping the voltage a bit. Card could benefit from aftermarket cooling to allow for even more overclock before instability. Biggest thing is it's EVGA and they have excellent customer support and don't beat around the bush when it comes to replacing cards that are defective. The first card I had a chip burnt out causing no video and EVGA promptly replaced the card and since then, no issues.
