Pros: Price performance is exceptional! The current nVidia drivers for WinXP 32-bit and Linux 64-bit seem to be pretty stable (that's all I've tested). The card's form factor is reasonable. It comes with a 6-pin PCI-E to dual molex-4 Y cable in case you need it.

Cons: Cheap heatsink and fan. I used an Iceberq 6 to drop the temps and reduce the noise.

Overall Review: This card comes in at my sweet spot for price/performance. The 8800's are just a bit too expensive. It's replacing a 6800XT (AGP) in a Sempron 2800 system. Now I have this card in a Athlon64 X2 4800 system. Under WinXP it runs FSX at full settings pretty well. It runs NR2003 extremely well. I can't wait to try some of my own scientific OpenGL code on it under Linux. I'll probably get another in 6-12 months for some SLI action.

Pros: Newest Atom and ION processors. This thing is a strong performer for a netbox. As usual, good packaging and quick shipping from newegg. Nicely compact. HDMI, DVI, eSATA ports. Very attractive price.

Cons: At 80F ambient, the fan is at a low idle and is quite tolerable. After a few seconds of cpu or gpu intensive work (e.g., video playback) the fan will come up to speed and is quite loud. -1 egg. A couple more USB ports would be nice. Contrary to the docs, taking the cover off is not a simple operation. Getting a firm grip on it is a bit tricky, as the finish is a bit slick, and when you're pulling on it the first time you'll swear that you'll break something before it comes open. -1 egg.

Overall Review: Purchased with G.skill 2GB SO-DIMM (F2-6400CL5S-2GBSK) and 250GB Seagate 7200rpm HDD (ST9250410AS). Ubuntu 10.04 has been rock solid with no driver issues, tho' I haven't tested wireless yet. If you don't mind a bit of on and off fan noise, and if you don't break the case installing memory and disk, this is a good machine for basic desktop use.

Pros: Price, tho' the ASUS E203 (win10) can be had for around $150. The keyboard has a decent feel to it, and the chassis is pretty good for this price point. Processor speed is adequate, as is the 4GB RAM. As for the screen, I like that it's anti-glare, but that's about it.

Cons: eMMC storage is slow. The USB-A slot would only read about half of my storage sticks. The BIOS wouldn't hold the dev_boot_legacy flag after the system was suspended. 'Search' key where the 'Caps Lock' should be. No 'Delete' key. Other keys missing. ChromeOS doesn't do quite what I want it to. This is probably the WORST TN screen I have seen. There's no such color as black on this display, just washed out grays. Off angle viewing, even by just a few degrees, is terrible. It reminds me of the first gen laptop displays back in the 90's.

Overall Review: If you're just a casual user, this may be fine, just don't expect to see a stunning display, nor do much outside of the browser. Outdoor use is out of the question, unless it's midnight with a new moon. The ChromeOS didn't give me the flexibility I needed to use this as a telecommute and light programming device, so I installed linuxmint 19.1 cinnamon (pretty much my plan before I even ordered the thing). The install was pretty straightforward, following the instructions found on the net for enabling developer mode and legacy boot. I chose to overwrite the entire chromeos knowing I wouldn't use it again. I was wrong. After suspending the system overnight, I couldn't wake/reboot it the next morning because the dev_legacy_boot flag got set back to zero. Thanks, ASUS. To boot I had to edit a script inside a recovery image so that instead of rewriting chromeos on top of my fresh linuxmint installation it would simply set the flag back to one. The E203 model is perhaps a better choice if you're going to run Linux, as it looks more like a normal PC. However, you're stuck paying the Micro$oft tax with the E203.

Pros: It does what it says, 400GB (well around 380 and change). Very competitive price.

Cons: There are faster options out there, including from SanDisk, for more $'s.

Overall Review: Used cryptsetup luksFormat on the entire block device in Linux. Then defined a ZFS zpool on top of the encrypted device under /dev/mapper/ => snapshots, volumes, and encryption on a single, tiny device. Works like a champ!

Pros: Great performance, reasonable price. My mobo, ASUS A2M32SLI, is only SATA-II, and the SSD pretty much saturates it in sequential reads/writes.

Cons: One egg off because the clamshell packaging is way over the top. This thing was nearly impossible to open! C'mon, Kingston, is a heavy duty clamshell really necessary? >:(

Overall Review: Installed Linux Mint 13 LTS on ext4 on 1st partition, ZFS (linuxonzfs) on second partition. Seamless installation. Naturally, boot times are great, as are app launches. Running ZFS snapshots and sending incremental snapshots to remote backup server. Be careful that you don't lose a finger attempting to open the packaging. Shipping was a disappointment. It didn't move from Newegg for two days, and then took a full week for delivery. Thanks, FedEx.

Pros: Decent color for straight-on viewing, Picture is quite sharp, and response is reasonable for a 60Hz display. 3*HDMI + plenty of other connectivity. Good display for the price.

Cons: Colors become a bit distored at off-angle viewing. Reds aren't quite as accurate as you may get on higher end displays. No SUSPEND mode available, but it will auto shutoff on no signal; it just can't auto resume - it's a TV, tho', not a monitor. Non-adjustable stand (minor). DVI and/or DP would be nice, but this is a budget TV.

Overall Review: I'm using this as a monitor as part of a triple head setup (this one on HDMI) with two other 1080p monitors connected to a Radeon HD 5750. The on-screen controls were sufficient to get the display colors, intensity, and contrast close to the others. With some propping and shimming under the base I was able to get a good height and tilt match to the other monitors. This would probably make a decent TV w/ external speakers, but I haven't tried that yet. As a 24" monitor it does a nice job.
