Dell Professional P2714H Black 27" Widescreen LED Backlight LCD IPS Monitor, 1920 x 1080, 1000:1, 300cd/m2, HDMI&D-Sub&DVI&USB, Height, Pivot, Swivel, Tilt

Pros: Highly adjustable stand, super easy controls, USB hub. No dead pixels.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought this for a treadmill desk, so it would be a pretty big panel for 1080P. The real key to this monitor for me is the height / tilt adjustable stand that allows me to have the right view for my standing desk, and the USB hub. I have my laptop docked and feeding the regular desk, but then the 2nd monitor port (D-port) and single long USB cable stretching 15 feet to my treadmill desk. This allows me to have mirrored screens between my standing desk and sitting desk. I do 12 hour days and sitting all day was killing me, so this large format screen allows me to be a good distance from the monitor, and the USB hub lets me plug in the keyboard, mice, trackball, etc. Working great so far. Other thoughts, really good for watching Netflix, though really bright. I find I'm turning the brightness way down, but that's not a bad thing. If I need it brighter I have plenty of headroom.

Didn't work

Nippon Labs Beige 15 ft. USB Cable A/Male to B/Male Model 15ft USB-15-AB 15 Feet
Nippon Labs Beige 15 ft. USB Cable A/Male to B/Male Model 15ft USB-15-AB 15 Feet

Pros: Long, cheap.

Cons: I didn't work.

Overall Review: Used this to connect my Dell Monitor to my docking station for my laptop. Laptop did not recognize the device (hub in my Dell Monitor). Swapping it out for the shorter cable (6ft) that came with my Dell Monitor worked fine. I guess this is just too long? Will buy a better quality cable. Not worth returning. Will just throw away.

Nice small case

DIYPC MA01-G Black/Green USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with Dual Fans
DIYPC MA01-G Black/Green USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with Dual Fans

Pros: Lots of space to work after you remove the hard drive brace. Case is a bit flimsy, but that also makes it light, which I like. It's very small, which I also like. No problem fitting in my ASRock H97M Pro4 MB, DVD RW, SSD and 3.5" HD (drives bolted to the HDD plate, not in 3.5" space under DVD, which I agree seems unusable. Front fan is 4pin, so MB spins it down to a quiet 450rpm during normal use. Fan in the back is 3pin and runs at 2k all the time. I think I'll just can that one as with no graphics card the system is quite cool. Also, love the USB ports on top. Super easy to get to.

Cons: Flimsy construction. One side panel had a small dent from shipping, but very minor. 3.5" drive space is useless, but HDD mounting brace makes up for it. Green LEDs on the front fan are a bit goofy, but that's just taste.

Overall Review: For $26, it's a great little case.

Product never shipped

Astropower never shipped the product I purchased and never responded to a query I sent asking why the product was stuck in "packaging" status per the tracking number. It's been 6 weeks now, so I am requesting a refund.

Delivered quickly

The commitment was to deliver in 5 to 7 days, but the fitbit was delivered in two days. Very happy. It was simply packaged in softpack for shipping, but the manufacturers box provided really good protection.
