Fast and easy

acer Aspire Easystore Tower Intel Atom Processor 230 1.6Ghz 2GB 1TB System OS : Microsoft Windows Home Server  Network Client OS : Windows Vista / Windows XP AH340-UA230N
acer Aspire Easystore Tower Intel Atom Processor 230 1.6Ghz 2GB 1TB System OS : Microsoft Windows Home Server Network Client OS : Windows Vista / Windows XP AH340-UA230N

Pros: You don't need to use the interface they gave you, in the end you can log in using remote desktop and its like any other computer. The one good thing about the interface is setting up your default share folders since the software on this drive will combine all your drives into one share point so you don't need one for each drive, just one simple folder. I got about 50% Gb speeds but my hard drives could be limited and also some options like jumbo packets and other things are not tweeked by default. The temps I got while the unit stayed in an enclosed area with 3 other machines were around 66c and while stressing the unit out for a full day it never went over 77c

Cons: By default it checks duplicate on all your shared folders. Its setup to run a ghetto intranet/internet page just for sharing files but is very slow and useless compared to Ftp or running a none windows web server like apache seperate. I wish there were two GB nic's. It also comes installed with a virus trial program that will ask you for money till you register or conveniently uninstall it(manually). Besides a little card slot in the back its not upgradable short of adding Usb drives.

Overall Review: There are guides out there for making installed programs like utorrent and ftp into services using a program from the windows dev kit(free). Googling will find more detailed info on this, but using that and whatever program you want to run 24/7 could work out nicely. While there is add-in support for some programs and it looks easier then what i said before, have fun finding updated info or download locations for that method as M$ doesn't host any of the project files and most of them are out of date or abandoned. This unit gave me more then what I expected so I gave it a 5.

RAZER Lachesis Black 9 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5600 dpi Mouse
RAZER Lachesis Black 9 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5600 dpi Mouse

Pros: 1. You can change the colors now(woopdeedoo) 2. DPI change on the fly 3. Smooth precise movements with proper Razer mouse-pad 4. Higher DPI range then my older Lachesis but same design

Cons: Randomly stops working and needs to be unplugged and reconnected.

Overall Review: I swapped this new mouse in from an older Lachesis 4000 which worked great for 2+ years with only a stubborn failing scroll bar button. To have any issues at all regardless of bad drivers, operating systems or whatever may be the real reason for the disconnects is completely unacceptable. I should be able to buy a Razer mouse with the same name and expect the same results. My first Lechesis 4000 was the best mouse I ever owned and I went with it again because I wanted a mouse I could trust without learning to use something new, luckily it still works well enough to use. I would recommend people to buy stuff like this from your local stores for the ease of trying it and returning if something like this happens to you.

BitCrane T-110 1.1 Th/s High Performance Bitcoin Mining System - Designed for Easy Plug & Hash System Setup
BitCrane T-110 1.1 Th/s High Performance Bitcoin Mining System - Designed for Easy Plug & Hash System Setup

Pros: Plug in and use, very user friendly, and no extra parts needed like a power cable or PSU. This company is great to deal with over email and they are currently working on more powerful units and their pricing from what Ive been told.

Cons: This unit runs very hot and the fan is louder than an antminer s2, this will never get quiet and always run full speed. There's hardware available that beats this in both speed and cost of watt per gh for the same price. Getting a return on these may be a pipe dream. Shipped through DHL from china but mine only took about a week.

Overall Review: I bought this because I thought I could hide it in a living room or a spare bedroom and I have credit here so why not?...right? I angered half my household because the unit had heated up the entire upstairs bedroom area so much that nobody slept well and this was in Minnesota with the window open on a 30-40°F night. Without running fans or an ac this is not for living areas but is fine in a large open basement. I gave 5 stars because I knew what I was buying at the time and the only negative in the end was that I couldn't run this upstairs but honestly, if you can afford this than you should be able to afford the extra power to run some box fans/AC. I could of purchased the slower unit that was supposed to be quieter so that's my fault.

Grab the docking bay also

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (TF101-B1) 1GB DDR2 Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (TF101-B1) 1GB DDR2 Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)

Pros: I grabbed the docking bay combo and both worked perfect after charging. The OS updates pop up after your setup and connect to internet. It does everything you could want from a tablet but it is starting to become obsolete compared to new hardware. The docking bay is a must just for the extra power, ports, and easy to use keyboard.

Cons: The units Tegra 2 is not compatible with some of the newest games coming out for the Tegra 3 based tablets. There will be games you will purchase and download only to find out it doesn't work but the store lets you refund without any hassle if this does happen with a simple click. If you run the tablet long enough and load enough apps you can start too see visual glitch's. Ive played a game that seemed to have heated the unit up enough after a few hours a constant play to cause the game to start to get choppy enough to let the unit take a break.

Overall Review: I purchased this thinking it would be a toy but it turned into a replacement for few other devices and things since Ive had it. If there was a food, drink, and bathroom app you would never need to leave the couch. ;)

Works well but very long

SUPERMICRO CSE-822T-400LPB Black 2U Rackmount Server Case 400W Power Supply w/ PFC 1 External 5.25" Drive Bays
SUPERMICRO CSE-822T-400LPB Black 2U Rackmount Server Case 400W Power Supply w/ PFC 1 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: I bought this to use with a Supermicro motherboard and everything connected fine. The hot-swap drives are sturdy and work well. The included power supply works with the case and allows you to use all 6 Sata bays along with using a disk drive or/and a 7th hard drive. The case opens with ease, no unscrewing just two push down tabs and pops open making it easy to work on.

Cons: The four fans have very short cables, impossible to connect to a micro atx motherboard. I disconnected two of the fans and cables to daisy chain the cables as extenders to plug in just two of the fans. The case is very very long and if you have an enclosed cabinet make sure you have the room for such a long case.

Overall Review: Make sure to buy 4pin fan ext. cables if you want to use all four fans.

Works pretty well

Habey KM-230B 1U 19" Rackmount PS/2 Keyboard Drawer with Touch Pad
Habey KM-230B 1U 19" Rackmount PS/2 Keyboard Drawer with Touch Pad

Pros: Works out of the box and fits into a 19" rack easy as pie. Having a mouse built in makes it nice for the rare times you do need a mouse but just the fact that I never have to mess around with a Kvm switch again makes this gold.

Cons: If you have a enclosed rack cabinet measure and make sure you have the space as this is long and you may have to take the back off your cabinet otherwise. The F1-F12 and lights at the top of keyboard barely stick out when the keyboard is out.

Overall Review: Worth the 1U space and the money.

Scam

I bought a Dell D510 Laptop Microsoft Windows 7 Pentium M 1.6 GHz 2 GB 60 GB Wireless. Received a Dell 510 with windows xp, 512mb ram and 40gb hd. Broken and dirty case but the battery held a charge! Shipping was some of the worst Ive ever seen from any company ever, it was just one strip of the linked packing bubble bags around the unit in too large of a box. I have no idea how this showed up working. I read the reviews and was expecting it to go south but compared to most of the honest reviews here I actually got a working battery so thats a huge plus. I had parts on hand from older laptops to upgrade the things it was missing.
