Nice little HTPC box, with some shortcomings.
Pros: Compact. Easy setup. Works great so far. The bundle with the Mushkin 120GB SSD is a good value.
Cons: No power cord? Are you kidding me? Would be nice if it had a regular audio jack. The only audio out is HDMI, and unless you have an HDMI-switching receiver, or reroute audio back out from your TV, it is hard to get sound. I bounght a $8 USB audio dongle, it works fine. By the time you connect USB audio, keyboard, and mouse, you are out of USB ports.
Overall Review: Using this for netflix, browsing, youtube, minor gaming with big HDTV in the living room. Works great.
Good monitor but failed irreparably
Pros: Very nice looking monitor. Great value for 2560x1600.
Cons: Despite working with the seller to alleviate overheating issues, including replacement of the power supply, it ultimately failed and the seller RMA'd and refunded. The seller admitted to problems with with model for 120V power. Uses dual-DVI which is retiring tech.
utter trash, found only the 2.7Ghz connection and then didn't work
Pros: none
Cons: It doesn't work.
Decent for the price
Pros: Hey, for this price, what do you want? It does everything. Surplus of bays in case you need to store... some extra drives? Making a media center?
Cons: Comes with noisy fans, cheap construction.
Overall Review: For a cheap HTPC, it is just fine. The front fan is too loud, so I unplugged it. Not like I'm going to be gaming with a hot graphics card or mining bitcoin, so ventilation doesn't matter much.
Cheap. Works.
Pros: Cheap. Works. Good sound quality. Small.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Good for getting sound out of an Intel NUC
Good quality, good value, comfortable
Pros: Good sound quality. Comfortable. Works in Windows7 with no setup. Good for web meetings.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Far better than the cheap "life chat" models, which are big and clunky.
Great selleer
Item was expected to ship in 3 weeks, arrived in two days. An unexpected customs charge was billed by UPS, and the seller refunded it immediately. Top quality all around. And I love the monitor, too.
