Most Favorable Review

Too bad it was cursed with the name Duron

AMD Duron 1.6 - Duron Applebred Single-Core 1.6 GHz Socket A Processor - DHD1600DLV1C
AMD Duron 1.6 - Duron Applebred Single-Core 1.6 GHz Socket A Processor - DHD1600DLV1C

Pros: CHEAP, incredibly fast, overclocks like a champ, puts up a fight with my 2ghz sempy.

Cons: 64/64/64kb cache, runs a bit hot, but thats it

Overall Review: make sure you get a board with nice overclocking ability! not A7V-400MX.

Most Critical Review

awful case, looks great

RAIDMAX NEON LED G21-LWB Black Computer Case
RAIDMAX NEON LED G21-LWB Black Computer Case

Pros: -looks awesome -three bundled fans of decent quality -fairly inexpensive

Cons: -zero airflow through the front fans -only 80 or 92mm fan support in the rear to try and get some air moving -polycarbonate window, not tempered glass -I/O shield are was trapezoid shaped on both cases I bought -no cutouts for EPS cables, have to run behind motherboard before installation

Overall Review: would definitely not buy again.

the 24-port green switch

D-Link DGS-1024D Unmanaged 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch
D-Link DGS-1024D Unmanaged 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch

Pros: 24 ports inexpensive intuitive rack mount hardware included fast cool

Cons: obviously its not a managed switch, but it likes to auto negotiate 100tX on a gigabit connection occasionally. others are right, the readout is hard to decipher if not clearly visible from the front, but even my ProCurves are hard to read. not really a con.

Overall Review: I have two of these, one at my home for relatively low traffic and one at my office handling hundreds of gigabytes of data per week, both are great

Cons: not as fast as a class 6 full size SD I guess?

Overall Review: no complaints at all
