Most Favorable Review

Boxee Box

D-Link DSM-380 Boxee Box HD Media Player
D-Link DSM-380 Boxee Box HD Media Player

Pros: Strong favorable first impression. Scary capable streaming device. Found my media files (photo, videos and music) before I looked for them. So many apps, pay-per-view movies and TV show series I can't imagine I'll ever wade through them all. I suspect Linux OS (that's a big plus!)

Cons: I'll have to get along with the dinky combo keyboard/mouse/remote control thingie. It sets up easy & works great but it's sure tiny. The browser seems clunky. Bing for the default search?

Overall Review: Get One Now. In a league of it's own. Makes Rockyou Box look like an imitation.

Most Critical Review

Not so much.

OCZ Synapse Cache 2.5" 64GB (32GB cache capacity) SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SYN-25SAT3-64G

Pros: It's an SSD, and it actually works.

Cons: Not happy. Shipped USPS in an envelope. No kidding, an envelope - it's a new SSD drive. Blew me away right off the bat. Next, CFDisk identifies right away that there's 32GB of unusable space on this drive. In a defective partition. Right. That's why I bought a 64-gig SSD, to actually use 32 gigs.

Overall Review: Buy two, so when you throw the first one away you still have one left to use. Or pair 'em up to get twice the thrill.
