Great Device
Pros: I have synced it to 3 different bluetooth phones and all worked perfectly. Streaming audio thru bluetooth works great if your phone supports it. I love the way it mutes the music when a call comes in or i want to make a call. I hooked up my ipod with cable and phone with bluetooth at the same time and everything worked together perfectly. My wifes iphone even works with this thing via cable and bluetooth (for calls only on bluetooth). Very easy to install. i have it connected to my car stereo via my cars aux input but the fm modulator sounds great as well.
Cons: lots of cables but if you have a center console they are easy to hide. Remote is easy to use but could have offered a few more options.
Overall Review: installation took me all of about 30 mins due to the fact that i ran the cables under my cars plastic panels to hide them. To the reviewer that spliced wires directly into the fusebox so it would shut off or turn on when the cars ignition came on there is an automatic power off feature in the options that you can set for different intervals. It also automatically powers on when you connect and ipod or iphone via the cable.
Cables to short
Pros: great price for all that you get
Cons: cables are only about 2 ft. long fully extended. 5th gen Ipod does not support firewire.
Great Bargain
Pros: Great Display that has an extra hdmi connection for other devices. Audio is much better than expected. Easy and fairly quick setup. Runs rather smooth even with lower grade cpu.
Cons: top bezel had minor scuffing that is hardly noticeable. other than that looks absolutely like new. didn't come with manual or restore disks. Came with windows 8 but non-touch screen.
Overall Review: Purchased for my mother in law and it is perfect for her needs :ie, web browsing, skype, facebook.
Works Better Than Saline
Pros: Definitely works better that Saline nasal sprays at clearing the sinus but does not work as well as afrin type sprays. Not addictive and no side effects that i can tell.
Cons: expensive.
Overall Review: 3 or 4 blasts per nostril at night and it keeps my nose from stopping up without the side effects of chemical nasal sprays.
Really Nice
Pros: Very Sturdy construction and looks very professional vs some of the cheap plastic ones that i have owned. I really like how well the eSata port works.
Cons: not to thrilled with the audio cables. Instead of normal motherboard audio header connector it gives you audio plugs to route out of the back of your pc case to plug into your sound ports on the back of the computer. Wish it would have the option to use the mb header.
Overall Review: I just love the feel of a metal card reader....
Looks Neat and Cools Great
Pros: Secure installation. low profile, great cooling
Cons: If you don't have easy access to the back of your motherboard then you will have to remove the motherboard to install this.
Overall Review: I have a q9550 quad and it was idling at around 35c and at full load was reaching 55c at stock voltage and clock speed with another aftermarket cooler. The DuOrb allows lower temps with my cpu oc'ed to 3.3Ghz from stock 2.8Ghz. Temp never gets above 50c. Another great thing is that the lower fan covers my northbridge heatsink and dropped its temps as well.
