Not Bad

APC AR100HD 13U NetShelter WX w/Threaded Hole Vertical Mounting Rail Vented Front Door Black
APC AR100HD 13U NetShelter WX w/Threaded Hole Vertical Mounting Rail Vented Front Door Black

Pros: Great Casing, Very good looking. Bought it as a rolling AV rack, with a Distribution Amp, and PVR's, etc.

Cons: Caster kit for this thing sucks. APC Never invisioned anyone using it I guess. Basically if you put the caster plat on, the door will open but not close. My solution for this was to remove the grommet plate on the bottom of the rear door and mount it inside on the back door. its not easy to close the door but it is possible.

Overall Review: I didn't know this thing would have so many grommets. Which makes it perfect for a AV Cart/ Rack. It only gets a 4 because the Caster issue, and if the caster plat wasn't made by APC I would give it a 5.

Most Critical Review

3D artists/ Middle Mouse button utilizers.

Logitech MX Revolution Black 7 Buttons 2 x Wheels RF Wireless Laser Mouse
Logitech MX Revolution Black 7 Buttons 2 x Wheels RF Wireless Laser Mouse

Pros: Very comfortable, nice design. I still use it when not Animating because of the feel.

Cons: If you use a program like Maya, or 3D Studio Max and need the use of a middle mouse buttoin look elsewhere. The middle mouse button only changes the scroll type on this mouse.

Overall Review: My middle mouse button was stuck on rolling, as opposed to click scrolling. Then I dropped it, OFF A WALL, and I realized that ever once in a while you need to smack the thing to allow you to change scroll types, I guess it gets stuck. I Am Not Joking, but obviously I would suggest dropping it flat on the floor instead of across your studio.

That Guy is Right.

Pros: I have the 21 inch version, and can say that for a 3D Artist you can't beat a Cintiq's Flexability.

Cons: Get a wacom glove, it gets smudgy.

Overall Review: When Using these Cintiq's with mudbox or zdrush, you will understand when I say its worth every penny.
