Pros: Using these in a 1U Norco RPC-1004 chassis with ASUS M2N-LR Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce Professional 3600 ATX AMD Opteron 1000 series Dual core ready Server Motherboard and AMD Opteron 1354 Budapest 2.2GHz Socket AM2 75W Quad-Core Processor Model OS1354WBJ4BGH and 8G Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/4G. Running ESX one two of the above, and so far they are doing the job.

Cons: None.

Pros: Scans quickly, prints decent. Got it for a good price (not at newegg though) for having an ethernet port, and fax port.

Cons: The touch screen interface is sluggish and the apps on it are gimmicky.

Pros: These are good sounding speakers, probably not premium but definitely good. Appearance is sharp, slim, and understated.

Cons: None

Overall Review: There are actually two offset bass speakers per unit. I couldn't tell that from the pics, but there is one facing each side. They are slimmer than I expected also. I'm waiting on the LOFT20 center channel to show up (purchased elsewhere) and some LOFT40s to complete a surround setup. A separate sub is still necessary. They also get loud and handle quite well.

Pros: Scans, and keeps on scanning.

Cons: Included software is cr@p. Does not remove staples.

Overall Review: Get Acrobat Pro, whatever the cost! Does it Jam? Yes it jams, like when I forget to take the staples out.

Pros: I've purchased two of these scanners now, the first was gifted due to the awesomeness of it's scan-ability. It easily scans legal, double-sided (in a single pass), color, etc, and does so quickly. I'm the type who scans document I get, receipts, etc, and I scan it into a mapped network location pointing at a SharePoint document library, so all of my documents are OCR searchable at a later date. Also, the scanner comes with some extras, like a plastic coversheet. This is a great help for scanning smaller receipts, or wrinkled up items.

Cons: The software included is junk, and does a poor job with larger files. Do yourself a favor and find yourself Acrobat.

Overall Review: If you are doing scans for Photoshop or image editing, you will still need a flatbed

Pros: Ok, now that I've had a couple days to get used to my new chassis, I am very impressed with it and will be getting another one. Removal of the thumb tabs at the top is a welcome improvement. That there isn't an impossible to remove plastic film covering the top lid is also an improvement. The fans are robust and fairly quiet, except for the rear two which mine rotate at slightly different speeds causing a wobble. I could disconnect one without worry. The lights on the hot-swap trays are unobtrusively bright enough. Green show the drive is powered, blue shows disk activity. The back plane is a HUGE improvement! Nicely done, with thumb screws and logical placement of molex and sata ports. I didn't need to take out the fan cage as my hands aren't too large so I can insert the sata cable even at the lowest back plane. The fan cage/bracket/whatever has holes for passing cables through, which have a beveled metal rim to prevent cable wear or lacerations.

Cons: Doesn't wash my dishes.

Overall Review: The power buttons on the front are better than the predecessor in that they don't depress and stay depressed. Anyway, the case feels solid. Seems like Norco has been doing well and they put some extra R&D into this one. I've been a supporter since the DS1220, which is still humming along.
