Pros: Small Light Quiet Fast Surprisingly roomy interior for its size Fits double-wide graphics cards

Cons: Given that they list support for dual-slot graphics cards as a selling point, a 300w PSU with a single PCIe plug is a bit lame. SATA cables are a bit short and don't have locking tabs, so I'm paranoid that they'll come loose eventually. BIOS doesn't have much in the way of tweaking options.

Overall Review: I was tired of having a massive, practically empty tower taking up space under my desk. This system is a big step up in power and a big step down in size, so I'm quite happy. Aside from having to buy the 500W PSU (Shuttle PC-63J) to support my graphics card, I have no complaints! CPU: i7-2600K GPU: Radeon 5850 RAM: 16GB G.Skill DDR3-1333 HDD: Intel X-25M G2 160GB SSD OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Pros: - Small - Self contained - Not bad looking

Cons: - Doesn't turn on with car - Doesn't turn on FM transmitter automatically - No way to manually select a radio station to use - FM transmitter sucks - Blindingly bright blue LED on the charger

Overall Review: I bought this hoping to replace the separate FM transmitter and Bluetooth dongle I currently use in my car for listening to music on my phone via A2DP, but various annoyances made me go back after about a week. First, you have to hold down the power button to turn it on (No way to have it turn on with the car). Then, you have to hit the "FM" button, at which point it will announce the station to tune to (no way to have FM on by default or disable the announcement, although you can turn down the volume from the default ear-splitting level). Through trial and error with my previous FM transmitter, I've found a station that's clear for my entire commute, but I could never get this unit to use it - it kept selecting other frequencies and having to be reset as I drove, and the audio quality wasn't that great even when it was on a clear station and mere inches from my radio's antenna - lots of distortion at low frequencies.

Pros: Cheap and effective.

Cons: No documentation. Wasn't immediately obvious that one side of the cooler is flat and the other is tapered, so I had to take one of the coolers off and flip it to get both to fit in a 2 CPU system.

Overall Review: Using a Supermicro MBD-X9DRL-3F-O motherboard, CSE-833T-653B chassis, and 2x Xeon E5-2620s with these coolers. Fits perfectly under the chassis air shroud, and CPU temps are remaining low and stable.

Pros: Simple, solid, no-frills board. Standard ATX size. Reasonably priced for a 2x LGA2011 board.

Cons: Can't check temperatures and fan speeds from the BIOS. (BIOS is pretty weak overall.) CPU temperature is reported as "low / med / high" rather than actual numbers. Other sensors on the board report standard values. CPU sockets are really close together and also close to the RAM, so finding coolers that fit was challenging. Once had the IPMI interface hang while unmounting a remote ISO. System was very slow to POST after that, but eventually booted and has been fine since. Board shipped with an older revision of the IPMI firmware, so maybe this is fixed. IPMI web interface is pretty slow, and doesn't auto-refresh the system health info. Personally would have preferred 2x SFF-8087 connectors instead of 8x SATA for the SAS ports just to reduce the amount of wiring jammed into the chassis.

Overall Review: I installed this in a Supermicro CSE-833T-653B 3U chassis, along with 2x Xeon E5-2620 CPUs, 2x Dynatron R8 coolers, and 8x 4GB Kingston ECC DDR3-1600 modules. Works wonderfully as a KVM virtualization host running Proxmox.

Pros: Small, thin, and light. Good selection of ports for HTPC use. ION chipset supports VDPAU under Linux just fine.

Cons: Fan is kind of noisy. Interior layout isn't great, and cable routing was a pain despite lots of empty space. A shorter SATA cable with right-angle plugs would have helped a lot. Description mentions VESA holes, but you need to buy a separate bracket to actually mount to a monitor.

Overall Review: I bought this to build a new HTPC, and overall I'm quite happy. Aside from a slightly noisy fan and some difficulty with routing the SATA cable, I haven't had any issues. Works great with Gentoo and XBMC!

Pros: Cheap, small

Cons: Poor documentation, no obvious way to set up without a Windows machine handy to run the setup wizard.

Overall Review: If you want to set this up without using the setup wizard, the default IP is 192.168.10.100 and the username and password are both "admin".
