Good product small size worked out of the box
Pros: 1. worked out of the box using a USB stick Using this as my Digital picture frame I install a puppy linux version and added the console program feh. open a terminal window and type the commands and it can search down through all my folders in my Pictures directory. bought a cheep AOC LED 22' monitor for a little over $100 and this box for $100 including shipping. Ran Kodi on it and it worked but just barely. you could play a local movie, you could stream. But you had to do one thing at a time and dont ask it to do anything else while a movie was running. but what do you expect from an atom processor? 2. really small form factor. Its small fits in your hand 3. has HDMI and VGA if you still need VGA this has it for you but it still has the HDMI
Cons: 1. Price When I first saw this it was $85 now its up $160? I think you would be better served going with the $200 Gigabyte Brix with the projector lot more computing power. When these were $85 to say $110 I would say great deal, now that they are around $160 I think you would be better served going with something else 2. eMMC card I tried but couldnt get it to boot off the eMMC card. Look in these reviews and I think someone got it to work, and gives you what to try, but after spending some time with it, and it didnt work, I didnt feel like spending more time on it. Sound like from what I read you need windows 10 or a newer Ubuntu to make it work off the built in eMMC card. Its formatted in eFat? and only really recent OS can read it or know what it is, but dont take my word for it Im going from memory on what I read on the internet!
Overall Review: For what I used it for it worked great it's small comes with a VESA mount and does what I want it to do. if you rather spend $160 for an atom processor computer than $200 for an i-3 it wont do you wrong just know what to expect from it. I gave it 4 stars based on the price I paid for it and knock the star off because of the eMMC diffculty.
Junk
Pros: None
Cons: Did not work out of the box tried a another known good mSata solid state drive and it worked fine in the computer i was trying to use this one on , tried this drive in another known good sata to usb enclosure and it did not work
Overall Review: Stick with name brands not off brands there is a reason the price is low, stupid of me for being suckered
Cool Moon Super Large Fan Work Great in my Build
Pros: I wanted a Larger fan that had LEDs and help cool. This fan and so far all the cool moon stuff are working great
Cons: None for me
Overall Review: Great Large Fan tied with a cool moon fan controler that has its own remote and you can control all the lights and fans in your system no app needed
Wavelink router works but it software/firmeware not as good as 5 year old netgear
Pros: Well you do get a working router dual band for cheep on sale it was about $40 it had better range than my old netgear with no antennas sticking out. fFncy box. Design was orginal
Cons: Lost Function over my 5 year or better old net gear. The interface appears to be apps when you first see it but its not. what netgear can do on the same page this router has many icons that gets you to a page with one or two items on it. No way to block any new ip must block each indivual as they connect. Display on front is barely readable because its so dim even in low light its just a gimmick rather they put that money into better firmware thinking I may go back to my old netgear but this does get to the back of my 1500sq ft house where netgear does not, but hate to loose all the better proctection and adjustments that I had on the old one. Time will tell.
Overall Review: It you want more distance out of a router fo cheep it may be for you
Cool moon LED fans
Pros: I like the look of the fans the LED effects how it comes with its own controler, and you can hook other(at least some) non Cool moon fans and light strips up to it with the adapter included Fans are not the fastest nor the strongest but to me who wanted a light show and clear jewel like apperance and a fan too they are great
Cons: none
Overall Review: Great fans
Great Memory so Far
Pros: Came in a really nice gift box., Looks really cool, and the most imporant thing the memory works well
Cons: Seems to be quality, Ive only been running it for 2 months so time will tell but so far Im planning on using this memory on my next build and may upgrade another computer with it.
Overall Review: Great Memory in intal opening in presentation and in performing its duties

mSata Drive did not work but customer service did offer free shipping return and a refund
I was disapointed that the drive was DOA, but after writing a review, customer service called me right away and gave me a free shipping label to send it back and they said they would give me a refund. So far they have been very nice over the phone and email New Egg said it was not eligible for return after 15 days, but the company I bought it from did stand by there product , and after the company said it was ok New Egg sent me the label for shipping
