Only 4GB of DDR3 Supported

ASRock G43Twins-FullHD LGA 775 Intel G43 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It has DDR3 memory support. Also comes with a video card and onboard graphics too.

Cons: The board says it supports 8GB of memory. It actually only support 8GB if you use DDR2 memory. If you want to use DDR3, it supports just 4GB. Sadly I have to make a return of some memory now.

Not so good for computer monitor

Samsung 24" 1920x1080 5ms B2430HD HD HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor w/TV Tuner & USB Port 300 cd/m2 70,000:1
Samsung 24" 1920x1080 5ms B2430HD HD HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor w/TV Tuner & USB Port 300 cd/m2 70,000:1

Pros: Nice to have a remote and the built-in tuner and the things that make it at TV. However, I wasn't looking for a TV.

Cons: Fonts were horribly rendered on this monitor. Everything looked aliased. Lots of playing with the controls did not help. Getting further away helped, but that just underscores that this thing makes a better TV than a monitor.

How did I ever live without this?

QNAP TS-212-US Diskless System All-in-one NAS Server with iSCSI for SOHO and Home Users

Pros: Small. Quiet. Low power. Easy setup. Raid 1. Slick web interface. SSH access. PS3 and Samsung TV both picked up media server immediately after setup. Easy sync from external USB drive. Backup to AWS S3. Windows shares. And ALOT more.

Cons: Nothing serious so far.

Overall Review: Wow.
