Good But!
Pros: Speedy when configured correctly. Great features and options for a home router.
Cons: Like most routers this couldn't keep up with my network and was rebooting all the time (every 3 minutes to 3 hours) and I was looking and looking to find out a fix for this and finally was reading about CPU performance when it came to me about the QoS bottleneck with my Fiber internet connection it was just overwhelming it. I disabled it and all my issues went away. I guess that would be a handy feature when your connection is slower like dsl but anyone with a speedy internet connection like cable or above would probably have issues with this.
Overall Review: The Ipv6 features are still confusing me but that could be my ISP's fault for not using DHCP-PD but who knows. I want them to work but have failed miserably.
Cheap backup batery
Pros: Cheap for the capacity
Cons: The unit wasn't even a pure sign wave output, so the server I bought it for wouldn't take the UPS as a power source. So it moved it over to my network equipment and that seemed to run fine for a couple of years. Then my first set of batteries died in it. I replaced them, and then realized why the first batteries died. The charging circuit just cooked a brand new set of batteries making the whole thing useless after just a couple of years.
Overall Review: I wouldn't ever purchase another one ever again from this company.
HDMI switch not splitter
Pros: 5 inpits to expand the inputs on your tv
Cons: Doesn't come with the power adapter but you don't need it
Overall Review: I haven't used it to the full extent yet but having my htpc and xbox 360 running through this I haven't had any problems yet and the 3d pass through works for both of them I just don't have much 3d content to test more
Wish I had gotten one Sooner
Pros: Touchscreen works great the pen is fun and the ease of being able to touch the screen or play mulitiplayer games is nice and the battory life is incredible for a laptop
Cons: touchscreen timeout, topheavy, glossy screen, and mine came with iffy system fan (overheated twice the first week) sent in for repiar (2 weeks was a long time)
Overall Review: I ordered mine from HP and some extras with the I5 and ATI graphics makes it a nice addtion now the finger touch time out is fixable under device manager, pen and touch, the second usb device or the figer something on newer drivers disable the let windows turn this off to save power and solves lots of frustration when you don't touch it for a few seconds.
The Best Case I Have Had
Pros: I Got this case over 5 years ago it has been running almost 24 hours a day (other than when I moved and when a 3 year old PSU took out my computer) and the stock fans are still running quiet and like new. I have built 4 different computers in this case upgradeing over the years
Cons: I wish the Hard drive bays were sideways becasue tradeing hard drives they hit the sata cables but when this case was designed there wasn't sata drives yet so not too much of a design flaw
Overall Review: Plenty of room once was trying a SCSI Controler from a server to see if could get better hard drive responce (8 Hard drives and 2 DVD burners all mounted in the case and running cool Cable Nightmare) Abit IP-35 Core 2 Duo E6550 4 gig Supper Tallent Nvidia 8600 GTX 512meg 2x - Western Digital SE16 500gig SATA 2x - LiteOn 24x DVD Burners Hauppage HVR-2250 MCE Kit (I love the Mesh Case IR Sencer behind and still works)
Good Tuner Bad Composit Inputs
Pros: Great for Recording shows works great in Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 (I duel Boot my PC) Media Center works like a dream with it and had with Analog/CAM Cable and OTA Digital
Cons: First Card DOA Second Card Composite input on card very quiet audio clear picture second Inputs on daughter card aren't showing up at all
Overall Review: I bought this card to replace my gigabyte tuner and very pleased about the recording difference but when i tried to plug in my VCR to convert all my movies to DVD nothing but problems Called hauppauge great support only thing left is RMA
