WOW... I mean WOW!

Microsoft  SIDEWINDER X4  Keyboard - Retail
Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard - Retail

Pros: Lighted keys (why I bought it), great feel, more features then most will ever use. I replaced a Razor Black Widow Ultimate that went bad after 7 months. This is quieter, and I have already adapted to its standard layout.

Cons: Narrow F-keys (not that I care!) Front palm rest is hard mounted so my soft rest is a bit redundant.

Overall Review: I have only had this keyboard a few days but so far I think it is awesome. I love the back-light that INCLUDES the shift key codes. If it is printed on the board it lights up.

Most Critical Review

Failed after almost no use.

ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 32GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP600S3-32GM-C
ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 32GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP600S3-32GM-C

Pros: Cheap. Sort of fast for low power.

Cons: Stops working. It stopped working after really no use. I bought this for a firewall server and then it sit for a few months. Then I retasked the drive and it died within a day. Once it broke, it stops the system from posting, if you take it out and put it in a usb/eSATA caddy, the usb doesn't find it and eSATA hangs the system.

Could have been a great deal..

OEM Production 2550L2D-MxPC Intel NM10 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
OEM Production 2550L2D-MxPC Intel NM10 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Cheap, Small, Loaded (seemingly) with everything needed to make a nice MPC.

Cons: DOES NOT - I REPEAT - DOES NOT RUN LINUX if you value video at all. If you just want a firewall box then everything else in linux appears to work. AGAIN - NO LINUX VIDEO DRIVERS - SOFTWARE ONLY. Debain had bad screen distortions.

Overall Review: I haven't made up my mind on it yet. I know I can't do what I wanted to do with it (MPC). However, for like a few hundred bucks I got this, a 4GB chip, and a 32GB SSD. I am thinking about trying FreeBSD on it to make it a firewall, NAS (with USB drives). We will see but right now it is a disappointment.

POOR QUALITY

RAZER Black USB Wired BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
RAZER Black USB Wired BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Back lighting

Cons: Loud Poor Quality Back light does not include symbols Bad support (stopped answering my email replies and sent a email like they hadn't heard back) Failed Keys HORRIBLE, and I mean DREADFULLY HORRIBLE, software (updated like EVERYDAY and shows up on boot like the keyboard is really that important, the keyboard even requires FIRMWARE updates!)

Overall Review: I replaced this keyboard with the Microsoft Sidewinder X4 and have not looked back. I will not only never buy a Razor product again but I will talk trash about the FOREVER. AVOID RAZOR PRODUCTS LIKE THE PLAGUE THEY ARE!

Great Drive!

Pros: Great speed. Faster than the SSD on my laptop. Works great as eSata or USB2.

Cons: Big Blue Light!

Overall Review: I would definately recommend them for all external drives.
