Fantastic
Pros: Very flexible for an inexpensive commercial grade router.
Cons: Nothing
Overall Review: Have installed twenty or so of these in the past two years with no issues. I also use these same routers in all my office and VPN is a snap. Have had one up for 1 year straight with no problem. Like any router or sensitive device you should always have them plugged into a UPS device.
hope you have a short case
Pros: Works and heavy. Did power two 8800GT's (read below) and an Athlon X4 with no prob.
Cons: Cables too short to connect in ATX case. PCI needed an extension to work properly which was a waste for this build. DO NOT BUY THIS POWER SUPPLY!!!
Overall Review: Don't know when you would ever want these SUPER SHORT cables or what good they would be unless you're building into a cube. We build a TON of PC's and have never seen anything so short.
My little toaster that could
Pros: keeps my data safe. uses NTFS formatting.
Cons: funky to setup initially. make note of the switch on the back
Overall Review: reason i picked this one up is most of the other competing brands sold here use weird formatting so - heaven forbid - i lose the drive it would be impossible to mount the drives on another machine. this little guy (which resembles a toaster) lets me format ntfs, fat or anything else my little heart desires. GO ON YOU DESERVE IT.
Best Cheap Case $$ Can Buy
Pros: Excellent case for $50. Good metal. Nice tool free design. Have purchased 20 or so for customer builds and have one at home for me.
Cons: Fans may be a bit loud but def not overheating.
Overall Review: Watch the corners when building into it. At least have a few band-aids at your disposal.
Size Matters
Pros: This case is nice for the $$.
Cons: Do not try and fill the drive bays AND put in a big video card (like the 8800GTS) because you will run out of space really quickly.
nice video card
Pros: Excellent video card. Make sure your case can handle it. It is longer than expected. In a full size ATX case the end of the card actually goes into one of the hard drive bays.
Cons: Huge.
Overall Review: For this customer we built two into SLI. Used a 800 watt PS and that seemed to be enough with a Phenom and 4 HDs. Good luck with your next build.
