Pros: Seemed decently fast when it worked.

Cons: First drive I got was DOA, made strange clicking noises, and would only sometimes be detected by the BIOS/SATA controller, even if it was it would drop out, RMAed it got a 2nd one, worked good for about 1.5 weeks, now it's reporting bad sectors on 2 different systems running WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics. Test Test Option: EXTENDED TEST Model Number: WDC WD3200AAJS-00YZCA0 Unit Serial Number: ************** Firmware Number: 01.03B01 Capacity: 320.07 GB SMART Status: PASS Test Result: FAIL Test Error Code: 08-Error was detected while repairing bad sectors. Test Time: 15:35:18, October 19, 2011

Overall Review: RMAing 1 more time, 3rd times a charm? other wise giving up on this model. Never really had a problem from WD before either.

Great Deal for what you get.

Pros: Small Fast little desktop. 7200 RPM HDD. Clean/Unmarked/Unscratched

Cons: I ordered 2. 1 came with a single 4GB RAM Stick (not sure on make/model), and a total of 4 slots, no issue with this 1 came with 2x2GB Sticks, this unit had two different manufacturers for the sticks 1x Kingston, 1x Hynix, though same speed and such, though this unit seems to be exhibiting signs that one or both sticks is bad.

Overall Review: These are clean cheap and quick desktop systems,. I am using 1 as a pfSense router, I added a low profile 4 port intel card to the systems 16x pcie slot, note there is no room "above" this slot so the card must not have anything on the "back"/"top" of it, there is room below though.

Best power supply ever owned.

Cons: None So far

Overall Review: Owned it since 8/22/2010 I installed it and forgot it.

Pros: Features, This modem has a tons of advanced features In it including filtering for "Bridging" your DSL Making sure that only PPPoE packet cross the bridge and you can lock it down to only certain MAC addys can use PPPoE over the bridge. ATM Level QOS for TCP/UDP and ICMP but unable to specify non standard IP protocols not listed (I.e. Proto 41 and GRE). Stats, This modem shows you a ton of DSL, ATM and Ethernet stats to help trouble shoot problems. And the most impotent gets good stats compared to my other modems (Speedstream 5200 and 4200)

Cons: Documentation on advanced features.

Overall Review: Awesome Modem / Nat Router.
