Pros: A very solid performer in audio and video quality. It does what it says. Of course, your hardware and software has to be Blu Ray capable.

Cons: Lite On SATA model DH - 4B1S - 08 Windows driver issues (solved) According to Intel, the SATA controller has three modes of operation: 1) IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID 2) SATA mode (also called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID 3) RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled NOTE: Your mainboard may not have all the three options. In bios, when setting the SATA controller is important to understand: An IDE mode device uses a different driver than SATA and RAID mode device. The Lite On 4B1S - 08 is an IDE mode device and uses a native Microsoft driver. My driver files: .../cdrom.sys (Microsoft), and .../clbstor.sys (Cyberlink).

Overall Review: The Microsoft advice did not work for me: To manually delete the registry entries, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class. Select the folder 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 Look for UpperFilters and/or LowerFilters. Remove those entrees. Once removed, there should be 8 entrees on the right side. Restart computer. DONE DEAL (my .../clbstor.sys was gone)!

Pros: The WH16NS40 worked right out the box! It replaced my 2008 blue ray Lite-On DH-4B1S that lately was not reading CD companion installation drivers. Bios, Win7, and Cyberlink media software recognized right on the spot. It plays anything I throw it. Manufactured date is showing February 2017.

Cons: nada

Overall Review: If you have an aging player, is time to replace it!

Pros: I paired the Cougar 700K Blue Switches (good for typing) with the wireless "real power hog" the Mad Katz RAT9. So, I don't look back! I am not a gamer but I like to take their stuff because exceeds my expectations for most common domestic desktop applications. Both are very responsive! I don't see any drivers or applications hung ups. To install them I did remove any previous keyboard and mouse applications. First, I used my old wired mouse to walk me through the installation process. Just plug them in! Then, I installed the RAT9's application and later the Cougar UIX from their websites. Good to go!

Cons: The delivery did very lousy job. The UPS brought the Cougar 700K with the original box exposed to the conditions all dusty. To open I had to disinfect it. I am having second thought to buy again from Newegg.

Overall Review: 11/26/2016 Many of us are complaining about macros. To set up macros: http://cougargaming.com/fileadmin/downloads/COUGAR_UIX_SYSTEM/UIX_Instructions_for_Keyboards.pdf

Pros: It pop's anything you throw at!

Cons: This CPU should be available one year ago!

Overall Review: Among many things PC is composed by: Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (upgraded from Phenom 9950) K9A2 Platinum (updated the latest bios) One 15000 RPM Fujitsu HD (Promise SAS controller build in mainboard) Lite On 4X Blue-ray Burner (I can see even pimples, and hear mistakes from recording studio. Unbelievable, but true!) 2 Radeons 4870 in CrossFire (They speak for themselves!) Vista 64 (A must have!) Creative GigaWorks' T-20 speakers (Most of the time, I feel discouraged to connect my Toslink into my Pioneer Sound System.) Acer LCD 24" monitor 1920 x 1200 (without speakers) ...

Pros: I LOVE THE SAS FEATURE OF THE K9A2 PLATINUM BY PROMISE T3 SAS READY DEVICE. I AM BOOTING MY OS FROM ONE FUJITSU 15000 RPM SAS HARD DRIVE. I DEFINED RAID IN BIOS, AND SELECTED THE JBOD MENU. I MADE SURE TO DISABLE THE ON CHIP SATA CONTROLLER FOR SB600 RAID. TO CONNECT THE FUJITSU TO THE K9A2, I BOUGHT A SAS 29 PIN PLUG TO SATA AND POWER CABLE. THAT CABLE TOOK UP AN ADDITIONAL $20 FROM MY WALLET.

Cons: THE PIPE THAT CONNECTS THE NORTH BRIDGE WITH THE SOUTH BRIDGE IS TOO HIGH FOR A VIDEO CARD TO FIT PROPERLY.

Overall Review: WHEN YOU ARE NOT REALLY VERY DEEP INTO THE DESKTOP WORLD, IS NICE TO LEARN FROM OTHER COMMENTS. SAS IS THE WAY TO GO!I REALLY THANKS TO THEM!

Pros: Most of the time, I feel discouraged to connect my TOSLINK cable to my sound system when I listen the GigaWorks T20. I use the Realtek HD Audio Control software that comes with the Platinum MSI K7A2 motherboard. These speakers output an exceptional good sound!

Cons: They are kind of little big next to a 22 LCD monitor. The blue led light is a flash light.

Overall Review: After 5 weeks, I am still waiting for my rebate. The build quality is excellent no regrets on that!
