Great little board
Pros: Low power, duo core, good support, I didn't have any problem loading fedora 10, or vista ultimate on this board. This might seen carzy but I think Vista runs really good on this board, every thing works (on board vga, svideo works well under vista) Fedora 10 has problems with the svideo its a known bug with xorg.
Cons: The north bridge fan is a little loud, I replaced it with another 40mm fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835191002) just make sure you get a 40mmx40mmx10mm fan.
Overall Review: I put this together for my bedroom, nice little cheap HTPC setup, plays all my video collection with out any problems, mpeg, divix, avi, mp3. this turned out pretty good, I was thinking about getting one of them popcorn hours, glad i went this route, i have so much more for just 50 dollar more. Make sure you get all the updates from intel; bios and drivers. System config: 2GB ram, 500 GB SATA drive, SATA DVD r/w drive, and ita case, flash card reader; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154093 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820132016 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134192 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148377 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823166079
Not to reliable
Pros: Nice features, and fast throughput. warranty my first unit had 3 years! Netgear is offering Lifetime warranty now I wounder why?
Cons: Not reliable, the first unit went bad after a month of use, the replacement unit just went bad after 6 months of use! I got the flashing light deal that everyone is talking about! And I just purchased another one of these from newegg a couple weeks ago, I think may be I should have got another brand. what good is a lifetime warranty if you have to replace it every 6 six months, you still have to pay for shipping.
Overall Review: Get this Netgear give me 3 options 1) ship the unit back I pay the shipping ( which i did, and it cost me $5.00 bucks) 2) They send me a return shipping label for $16.95! 3) They send me a new unit with a return shipping label for $29.95 They got to be kidding, I did the option number 2 six months ago. I complained, and told them next time I'll buy something else. ps it would be so nice to talk to customer support people that speak understandable English!
Works Great
Pros: Low power only 35W max, idle is even lower like 10W Turbo boost Hyper threading 2 per core great for a lower system with some kick..
Cons: Only two cores, I wanted the Intel Core i5-4460T which has 4 cores @ 35W, but they're not sold boxed, and are hard to find at a decent price.
Overall Review: Ues this for a NAS box, wanted something with decent performance for video/audio encoding at a reasonable power consumption since it running 24/7.
Works Great
Pros: The real deal not a cheap aftermarket bulb. Tv just like new nice and bright.
Cons: Didn't come with the housing, but it was easy but in my existing housing.
Overall Review: This is an OEM replacement bulb, they're a lot of knockoffs out there. The first bulb I got off A..zon was a cheap aftermarket bulb, it wasn't as bright, and it lasted only 6 months!
OK, but not great.
Pros: Light weight Easy setup Functional controls
Cons: Not to comfortable for me, ears started hurting after a hour of use. Easy to slide off your head. The sound is ok but for the price you can do better, bass is ok not great, and the mid-range and highs are lacking. Seems cheaply made.
Overall Review: Its an OK unit for 25.00 bucks, not worth 50.00.
Great case
Pros: This is really a nice case, it has everything, with a nice layout that's easy to install components.
Cons: None
