Pros: Awesome price/performance ratio. Outstanding to get a processor of this quality, including a cooler, for only $36, shipped. Originally unlocked to Athlon II x2 4450e with a flip of a single switch in the Motherboard's BIOS. Dual cores showed up in Ubuntu 10.10 without issue. Very easily done.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Maybe bad luck, possibly my inexperience at overclocking, undoubtedly the result of greed - this processor no longer shows as a dual core for me. I tried to push the limits by manually setting the overclock, instead of using the presets on the Motherboard (the 'V6' option is the only one that worked for me). Manual settings didn't work too good - as in, not at all. I'm glad I didn't burn out the processor, but it never recovered dual core status from my attempt. Still, I'm mighty happy with the price and performance nonetheless. CPU - AMD Sempron 145 Sargas 2.8GHz (@ 3.08GHz) Motherboard - BIOSTAR TA785G3 HD Ver. 5.0 HD - HITACHI HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 3.5" SATA OD - LG GH22LS50 22X SATA DVD Burner RAM - Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 Case - Sentey Slim Series SS1-2422 450w MicroATX OS - Ubuntu 10.10

Pros: Long lasting charge, great amplification, good mate to my phone, excellent range, easy to use, and comfortable behind-the-neck design.

Cons: These play their own jingle to inform you of phone calls, rather than your phone's usual ringtone. I'm not sure why at all.

Overall Review: I got these mainly to listen to music and audio from my phone while riding the bus or train to work. I found that they are quite comfortable, fitting well over my ears without affecting my glasses. An extra bonus is that they seem to double as earmuffs as well on chilly mornings. I would probably sleep in them if I could. Communications during phone calls are excellent. The range is magnificent, easily 30 feet or so, even through residential walls, though commercial firewalls will cut the signal instantly. It gives a quick pair of beeps to let you know when you come back in range of your source for audio and generally re-connects on its own. I fully discharged the battery as noted in the instructions and now find that with my normal use I easily get two days or more before having to recharge at all. I am very pleased with this purchase and will likely get some more to pair with a Bluetooth capable tablet in the near future. Yes, I bought these on sale, but they are easily worth the full price.

Pros: This performed exactly as expected. I bought four of them. Two for general use, two for installation on an Xbox 360 Core system. I gave two of them away to Friends. They were looking for work and needed a means to keep their documents with them to transfer between computers. 16GB was enough for them to take all their important files while still leaving room for other media as needed. That made for plenty of storage on the KiNECT bundle I gave away for Christmas. I plugged in two of these and they fit snugly, but without any undue protrusion. They are quite tiny, but shaped just right for easy removal. The system recognized and formatted them without issue. Access was fast, without waits or stutters for Arcade games downloaded to these units.

Cons: Now that the storage capacity per USB device has been increased to 32GB on Xbox 360, it would be nice if that capacity were available at this form factor.

Overall Review: Near as I can tell, these things are pretty much perfect. If transporting them, the protective cap fits tight and snug. About the only way to loose them is to take them off, put them to the side, and walk away without them. Which my Friends did... Since I had two extra caps that were unused, I just gave those to them.

Pros: I know that many will say that drives of this sort should be used for backup only. Yeah, well... whatever. I got two of these back in May 2010 and they've been running pretty much non-stop ever since. Originally under Windows, but I gave up on that forever by the end of June. They've been speedy and reliable running under Ubuntu 10.04 and now 10.10 without issue.

Cons: Their neat sort of Star Trek: The Original Series styling is very similar to the Galileo shuttle, but lower and sleeker. This makes them seem as if they absolutely should mesh perfectly as stackable drives... Unfortunately that is not the case. So they sit neatly side-by-side on my desk instead.

Overall Review: I really wish these were stackable. They seem to have some sort of sleep function built-in that I can't figure out how to disable - though I haven't tried too hard. It really just takes a couple of seconds for them to spin up to full speed when they 'wake'. In the end this is a great product at a superb price. I need to find out if Samsung offers a NAS case or Media Server too...

Pros: 450W power supply in a small form factor. Most other slim Micro ATX cases top out at only 300W instead. Awesome website for the manufacturer, Sentey. I got to see the installation instructions before I got the case. I also got to see two other versions of the case. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful of the three. Paired with a Biostar MATX motherboard this case was a perfect fit.

Cons: No card reader, but I think this is more my fault. I looked at so many different cases, some of which included that feature. So I simply presumed this case had one too. I'll have to find a multi-card reader elsewhere. Some of the text in the installation manual appears to have been translated from an Unknown Language to Spanish and finally to English? It's a very well put together manual, great pictures, step-by-step instructions, easy to follow and use. I think the quality of its printing shows someone really cared about its presentation. A few minutes of grammar checking by someone who spoke/read English as something other than a fifth language might have helped a bit though.

Overall Review: I actually purchased the Sentey Slim Series SS1-2422 [N82E16811322004]. It is basically the exact same case internally, though with slight cosmetic differences at the front bezel, base support and a red/burgundy stripe. I need not have worried about an ugly empty space for a floppy drive in the case, as there is a blank panel in that bay by default, behind the foldout door, which can be removed as needed. Still, it would have been nice if at this price point the case had included a multi-card reader (like the PiXXO CI-8102H [N82E16811325002] does). This version does not include an LCD. I think the case looks that much better for the omission. The Sentey SS1-2421 & SS1-2422 feature the same interior layout. Vertical installation is mandatory because of power supply orientation. It stays cool & quiet at all times.

I got to see the installation instructions before I got the case. I also got to see another version of the case. The Sentey SS1-2420 (now available here at Newegg too [N82E16811322013]) is a good bit more elegant and is all black, without the LED display. Paired with a Biostar MATX motherboard this case was a perfect fit.

The photos here show the LCD as amber/red and it does power up that way initially. But once you set the case fans to a cooler temperature it goes blue, to match the power button LED.
