Pros: Another solid power supply from CoolMax... The 120mm fan is great! I will never buy another 80mm fan PSU again. The fan can move a ton of air in any mode (Auto, Low or High) and is quiet to boot! The extra leads for SLI and SATA are great. This is also nVidia rated as a SLI PSU.

Cons: None other than adding a lead for reading the fan RPM and wrapping all the cables instead of just the main lead.

Overall Review: CoolMax does it again... Over a year ago I bought their 400B PSU so I could run some P4 upgrades I did. I've been so happy with them I purchased this CoolMax when building an SLI rig and it looks like this trend will keep going at this point.

Pros: Features abound! This board is full of features. Intel RAID controller, LSI RAID controller, Intel 4 Gig Ethernet Ports, Tons of RAM capacity, tons of SATA and SAS ports and the eATX format really keeps the options open for cases. IPMI features make this an easy motherboard to manage and update remotely.

Cons: Confusion around the RAID controllers. There are two RAID controllers on this board, but neither are true hardware controllers, they are software controllers that rely on the performance of the subsystem and share memory and CPU cycles with the OS. There are also some really glitchy compatibility issues with Server 2012, especially when using Intel RAID5 and the SCU SATA ports which left me with a dead motherboard.

Overall Review: SuperMicro stands behind their products like no other company. Setting up my server I tried using the Intel RAID controller with Win 2012 on the SCU ports and the BIOS corrupted and it would not boot. I did this twice, once under the guidance of SuperMicro tech support. They spent hours with me helping me diagnose the problem and sending me replacement parts to get it right. I would still be very cautious about Server 2012 using the onboard RAID, but I would say if you ever have a choice between a supermicro product and any other brand go with SuperMicro, they are fantastic!

Pros: Amazing! Tiny, quiet, speedy... Did you know the Atom is a dual core CPU? Plenty of USB ports. A mounting plate for the back of most LCD monitors hides it quite nicely. Keyboard and mouse included. It's a full on PC that's tiny and affordable! Not overburned with junky trial software, but it does come with a nice array of office suites and other tools pre-installed.

Cons: Doesn't include a CD/DVD drive, but then you'd probably have to pay for it too. Power adapters are always a bit of a pain, but a necessary evil.

Overall Review: Asus got it right with this system. It was a toss up between the eee box and the Dell Hybrid for me. eee box wins hand down as long as CD/DVD built in isn't a requirement. You will not be disappointed, it's loaded with features.

Pros: Simple to use. DVI and VGA inputs, includes all necessary cables. Clear, bright image.

Cons: No height adjustment, quite a bit of light bleedthrough on blacks.

Overall Review: Normally you get what you pay for. In this case you get a good bit more. For the price of a 17" LCD this 22" widescreen from acer is a great deal.

Pros: RF wireless means you don't need line of sight. Scroll wheel with click on the left side is helpful for browsing. Exta left click on the right side beneath the trackball is also helpful. Trackball has a firm feel so it's easy to control, sort of gritty seeming though. Easily worked from 15 to 20 feet away.

Cons: The batteries that came with it were dead, they lasted about 4 days.

Overall Review: After I put in new batteries it really worked well.

Pros: Comes with a long cable that can reach drives in any system from Full Towers to Rack servers and gives you 4 SATA power connectors off one standard connector.

Cons: none

Overall Review: It's sort of messy, if it didn't change the price a sleeve would be nice.
