Update
Pros: Price; quiet; well made and packaged
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: Arrived in good shape; well packaged. Almost totally silent. Provides a easy to use utility to back up the rescue partition to DVD - a very nice feature. I tested it and it actually works. Inside is well laid out. Obvious care taken in cable management. Great box for email, web, etc. Think I'll buy another one.
OK for 3 days...
Pros: I like the heat pipes; system and CPU temps never exceeded 40C. Good performance, while it lasted.
Cons: Died after 3 days. CPU and memory checked out fine on another AM2 board.
Overall Review: Brisbane 5000+ @ 2.6 (I don't overclock), 4GB of OCZ DDR2 800 RAM, Windows XP x64.
Not made by IBM
Pros: We'll see how it works for personal use - I just ordered one. By the company that I work for is using thousands of these and they seem reliable.
Cons: We'll see.
Overall Review: These are NOT made by IBM. IBM sold their PC division to the Chinese years ago. If you have a HP printer that won't work with this machine, check your drivers. It certainly isn't IBM's fault. I don't work for IBM, but have worked for competitors; hence my respect for their products. This is not an IBM product.
Works well
Pros: Works as advertised.
Cons: None, as long as you do some basic research before you buy.
Overall Review: Speeds will depend on breaker and wiring quality. I can't understand someone giving this product a single star because he/she does not have the ability to understand basic networking.
Nice addition
Pros: Great sound, small footprint
Cons: None
Overall Review: Paired up with a CS1 center, PSW505 and 4 LX5 Pros (with the Linaeum tweeters). Any decent HT system needs a sub, so I won't knock the relatively weak bass.
Reburb?
Pros: Can't tell it's a refurb - looks and works like it's 100% new. We use it to Skype with our college student daughter, 1200 miles away...we are all very impressed with the quality of video and sound. Stand is well designed and works well on a desk or perched on a monitor. Great purchase. As usual, Newegg comes through with a great deal and fast shipping.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Having an issue with Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and Skype. Not transmitting video. Transmitting sound, and receiving sound and video OK. Installed latest from Logitech's website. Haven't had a lot of time too troubleshoot, so may be me ;)
