Works great

Kingston ValueRAM 4GB ECC Registered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Server Memory Model KVR667D2D4P5/4G

Pros: Good solid server RAM. Registered, ECC, with parity checking. I bought 4 of these modules for a total of 16 GB of RAM. They are running in a PowerEdge T300 server. The server posted without any problems and recognized all the RAM. I am running Windows Server 2008 x64 and it runs great.

Cons: none.

Fast SSD

Toshiba Q Series Pro 2.5" 256GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) HDTS325XZSTA

Pros: Works as advertised. I installed this SSD in my Mac Mini and it runs much faster now! With the 5400 RPM drive it would take 13 seconds to open System Preferences. Now it only takes one second.

Cons: None. Would be nice for all SSD drives to come with some type of drive cloning software though.

Fantastic!!

NETGEAR MCAB1001-100NAS MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit 270 Mbps

Pros: This device does exactly what I needed it to do. I got everything setup in less than 15 minutes and it just worked right out of the box. I didn't have to use the software to make any tweaks. I have 230 Mbps speed and I am able to view streamed Netflex standard and HD movies with no hickups. The media center experience is great as well. I had tried an HP media extender with wireless N, but that didn't work well. I have a cable modem with 20 MB download service. So, I have a fast Internet connection to begin. I have an Xbox360 downstairs that is connected to my home theater, but my wired network is upstairs and I was almost at the point of doing a lot of work to get cable from upstairs to the room my TV and Xbox are in downstairs. No, worries now though. I connected my to a switch downstairs so I could also connect my Blu-Ray DVD player and everything works perfectly!

Cons: Price, but for me the price of getting a working solution up and running in 15 minutes vs drilling, cutting floors, taking out baseboard, etc. was more than worth the expense.

Overall Review: I am very glad that I got this. It was going to be very, very difficult to get cat 6 cable downstairs, but now it is a non issue. This just worked and it is more than fast enough to do what I need it to do.

Excellent

Comments: I read all the reviews about this monitor and decided to buy it and I am glad that I did. You can't beat it for the price. I didn't have any dead pixels and it is very easy to setup. It is very bright and clear at its native resolution.
