The shoe's you won't grow out of.

CODEGEN S101 Silver Steel Server Computer Case
CODEGEN S101 Silver Steel Server Computer Case

Comments: This box is by far the easiest box I have ever worked around.It has more space than you will probably ever need ,but the fact you can run large redundant pwr,or your everyday 300wtr.makes it great to grow into.I run a total of 24 fans in this box,with nine hard drives.and my xp 2100+ clocked at 2 gigs.It runs stable 105 F.And you have room to organize your connections.air can move with no problems.And if you remove the wheels it will fit under most desk's.The only things I would change if i could is placement of the floppy,(if you run an AT7 board a 25 floppy cable has about 1 inch to spare)but you can move floppy into a 51/2 bay.And the other change would be the door.I don't like the way the top door opens and locks.

Most Critical Review

Disappointed. ADATA can do better.

Pros: Large capacity, low cost.

Cons: This is the first ADATA USB drive to break on me. It lasted two days. The slider does nothing now. The retractable slide isnt very sturdy.

Overall Review: I have several ADATA USB drives that have been reliable. This model uv128 doesnt appear as sturdy as the similar priced UV320. The 2nd day the slide broke and I cant use it, and I have copied personal info to it before the broke so I cant return it. So let that be a lesson on $12 flash dives. Avoid drives that are retractable. I have used them for years but they apparently dont make them like they once did.

Better than Expected

Pros: Storage case and connectivity.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This was a stocking stuffer. A low cost gift that was more planned for online meetings, etc. but, they actually sound fantastic for the money. I would recommend them to anyone especially parents that are concerned their kid will lose a $200 pair of air pros

Comments: This cpu is very impressive.This cpu is in my primary home workstation and i have tried to lock it up, and i haven't yet. It runs hot but it doesn't seem to effect performance. if you want a complete level machine go with this cpu. I demonstrated to my friend a die hard AMD fan (who ragged me the whole time i put this computer together) the power of this cpu. I started encoding a video file at(720x480) xvid format ,and then i started compressing a win rar file 4gigs, and finally i had him to start an online game of BF1942. all running at the same time and not even a hicup. Ps: when he shut down BF1942 the video was encoding at 29 FPS.(real time) It was 64c though. I OC this to 3.6 but all i noticed was more heat. I would check some reviews on mboards cause i have the Abit AI7 and the PWM temp gets over 70c. I had to make case modifications to force more air to the mosfets to control the temp on the motherboard power circuits. the system components if interested: Abit AI7 3.2 prescott 2x512 Geil Solden dragon 3200 ram saphire 9600XT 73g raptor Swiftec hs + 92mm artec fan several ocz heatsinks

Comments: This little Monster Runs my Big monster.9 hard drives.8 mobile racks,with 2 fans in each 5 three inch case fans,(total system has 24 fans).If you have ever used a mobil rack with fans in it,and it makes noise.Its because of your power supply.My 8 mobile racks (16 total fans)make almost zero noise.I have had other setups vibrate and make very loud noise,But not with my sparkle.
