Works great
Pros: This was a fairly straight forward install, i was a little concearned about using a brand ive never worked with before but it all seems to be soing along great, no problems so far.
Cons: a second nic would be nice so it doesnt require a switch but no biggie
Garbage
Pros: Well lets ee it worked great for about just long enough that newegg wont RMA it. So its on to the non-english speaking tech support at FOXCONN.
Cons: The board wouldnt show a display, tech support told me test a few things then after they "passed" they told me it must be a bad video card. So i got a new card and guess what still has the problem. It works only if i pull all the ram and video out power cycle and reset the cmos, then reassemble and go. Which only takes about 6 mins now...(im getting faster everyday)
Overall Review: Foxconn has no advance rma so ihave to send it in and wait for on their estiamte anywhere from 2-4 months. Also you might wanna brush up on your chinese, if you want a prayer of talking to their "US" tech support
Misleading description
Pros: its a flash
Cons: This flash says it works with E-TTL II cameras, which i guess is true cause it will fire. The flash doesnt support that standard and the description is misleading. the flash only support TTL so it fires full power every time. Newegg wont do anything because they sell it third party. Now i have to waste even more time contacting these guysand trying to get my money back. Its already been 4 days and no word from them....newegg dropped the ball on this one
Overall Review: stick to name brand....lesson learned

Overall Review: Stick to name brand flashes
Not very good
Pros: Umm well if you want a unmanageable gig switch you go it! Not very well programmed.
Cons: I wasnt able to set the ports in to 1000m full duplex, the software prevents it if it thinks your not matched. Tech support told me it was my CAT5E cable and that i had to use CAT6, I called back when the CAT6 didnt work and i was told it needed to be CAT5 not 5E or 6, when that didnt work they told me it was bad. I have read other reviews that had the same problem. If you want to manage 10/100 then go for it.
works very well
Pros: Good video, great weight, and fast.
Cons: no internal hard drive but the 16GB flash i got works very well. The software that came with it locked up my pc.
Overall Review: This is so much better then my old dvd camcorder, although you need to get an aftermarket program such as sony vegas to import the video, the software that came with it locked up my pc.
Garbage
Its been 3 business days since i placed the order and no one has even shipped it, even though there is an email that says fedex was notified to pick it up. I called fedex and they said nothing was there to be picked up. i called newegg to cancel and they said just keep waiting?? wt f? They said since its a 3rd party seller they cant cancel it. Garbage!! i expected better from newegg, but they are just farming out products now
