Pros: After debating whether to build a FreeNAS or getting Synology - I'm glad I went with Synology. If I went with FreeNAS, I'm not too certain whether I would have been able to set it up correctly. Synology setup guide was well documented & easy to follow. Well, I'm not much of tech person at all - especially when it comes down to networking as well. If it's easy enough for me to get it work, it should do for anyone who's willing to spend just little bit of time to learn about networking.

Cons: Synology products are little bit more expensive than other NAS products - but the robust web based OS definitely makes the whole thing so worth it.

Overall Review: Quite possibly, best purchase I've done for over few years. I've been worried about my child's digital footages/photos being lost due to HDD failure & all - and while this isn't 100% disaster proof, I can definitely relax a little bit due to the 1 disk redundancy.

Pros: Price & Features. A perfect fit for low-end users.

Cons: I bought this card for as an replacement card for a fried Geforce Ti 4600. My Dell Dimension 8200 has 2x/4x AGP slot (@1.5v) - and this card should be compatible, as it accepts 4x and 1.5v - but no such luck. Nothing came up when I booted it up - I tried w/ a different AGP card and it was working just fine. Sent back for RMA, and waiting for my 2nd card. Hope the new one might be okay - otherwise, I'm going for something else.

Overall Review: I'm seeing quite a few similar problems on this card in the reviews here - perhaps Newegg received a defective lot of this card?

Pros: Bought it for a basement build for internet surfing / youtube streaming and 1080p XBMC use. Thought of going with i3 or at least G2020, but I'm glad I went with this. More than enough power, including 1080p decoding with H10 codec or whatnot. I've played around with all these gadgets and streaming stuff - nothing beats real pc for its functionality and usability.

Cons: Stock cooler, while nice - I am not too fond of the mounting mechanism. Somehow it doesn't give me any assurance...

Pros: Great little keyboard for light HTPC use. Decent range, and good typability without being too large for a HTPC keyboard. Integrated multi-touch pad is nice. Solid performance considering its price - Have had several Logitech keyboards and this one is one of my favorite in terms of its value.

Cons: Keyboard layout is little funky on directional keys. Well, having full sized directional keys are nice, but not at the sacrifice of right side shift key - that I keep pressing "up" arrow when I intend to press right Shift. Also the software doesn't allow to configure what "home" button do

Pros: Very versatile mb. ASUS's pro line, always feel right for the money and feature wise - no nonsense features for everyday user like myself. Some high end boards only have 4 memory slots (probably due to high OC purpose) - and some have non PCI-E (not 3.0 - but old PCI-E 1.0) - but this boards have all the features I could ask for. With Ivy Bridge E coming out, (and probably will be compatible with this board) - I'll be all set for next few years.

Cons: pro line packaging feels little cheaper than other premium X series boards.

Pros: 6 cores / 12 threads. Like having V10 engine for a fancy sportscar. Reasonable price, and great oc potential. I've oc'd mine at 4.3ghz - which's perfect sweet spot for my use. (offset enabled to save power even more.)

Cons: Ivy Bridge E is coming later this year...

Overall Review: At least I can use same socket for the Ivy Bridge E! Originally bought this for stop-gap measure between Ivy Bridge E's comparable offering - but I think I can easily bypass the initial Ivy Bridge E offering of same class and wait for the next Ivy Bridge E revision towards the end of the lifecycle of Socket 2011... which pretty much guarantees that I'm set for next 4+ years before another MB/CPU upgrade.
