Great for Business

MSI K9NBPM2-FID AM2 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 210S Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI K9NBPM2-FID AM2 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 210S Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Even with the integrated Quadro Video, which is what I wanted to try.. It works well with Catia V5 and is stable with the Athlon 64 3000 I put with it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was impressed when the CAD programer said it rivals other expensive CAD Computers he had used in the past. Also this replaced an Athlon 64 3000 with an average mother board and Nvidia 7600GS gaming video card.

Most Critical Review

The New Model

Pros: Great for keeping single PC's or Switch/Router rooms up and safe from surges and power outages.

Cons: This is the new model with many changes from the old one. The first one I got was bad. Kept shutting off after a few seconds. I found out the 12V Battery was only putting out 7V. RMAed and got a new one.

Overall Review: The others I got are working so far.

Very Good Monitor

Hanns-G 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Hi-221DPB
Hanns-G 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Hi-221DPB

Pros: Bright Picture and almost 0 return rate. I buy them for the Company I work for and we have lots of them here. I think I have sent back only 2 our of 20-30. Again the picture is bright and crisp where others are not.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Yes the speakers are not good but they are mainly for basic sound like error messages or to let you know you have Email. But that is not what I got the monitors for.

No Good...

Tripp Lite SUPER6TEL 7 Outlets 1080 Joules 6' Cord with Tel/DSL Protect It! Surge Suppressor
Tripp Lite SUPER6TEL 7 Outlets 1080 Joules 6' Cord with Tel/DSL Protect It! Surge Suppressor

Pros: None

Cons: Units fail. I gave this a good rating last time but now I have too many failing. I buy many of these for use at my Company where they run a Core 2 Duo with a 19"LCD Monitor. 550VA.. But this new model just fails. Its not always the batteries that fail either, its the unit itself.

Overall Review: Going back to APC..

These ROCK!

ANSMANN 5030862 4-pack 2700mAh AA Ni-MH Batteries
ANSMANN 5030862 4-pack 2700mAh AA Ni-MH Batteries

Pros: Lasts and Lasts. Out performs all other rechargeable batteries I have used!! I use these in a "power sucking" digital cable tester. I have yet to recharge them and they have lasted easily 4 time as long as the others. I don't know how they do it but I hope Newegg keeps selling them?

Cons: None

Overall Review: I need to get more...
