Nice!
Pros: WOW! Ok, I broke down and spent the money on real fans. I knew that it would be like "ditching a Huffy for any real bike" but never thought it would be this awesome. I couldn't decide between this Enermax T.B.SILENCE and a Cougar CF-V12H - So I got both. I'm buying another of each because I still can't decide.
Cons: Um... Now my CPU fan is too loud! Oh and can we get the cost down? that would be cool.
Overall Review: Enermax T.B.SILENCE and a Cougar CF-V12H are so cool, I had to write the same review for both. (Used in: Antec 300 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower w/ 4gb of ram, 4 2tb drives AMD 6400+ and an old GeForce 9800gt)
My 2cents or lack of
Pros: This drive had best ratings for the price. WD has been reliable for me in the past, so I expect it to do it's job. XP recognized it and let me partition right away.
Cons: I am currently re-formatting it a second time right now. I did a quick format the first time (Cuz it was new) and started transferring 500gb of customer data using Beyond Compare and my machine locked up... I assume it's my issue, I reboot, trash the data that did transfer and got a "corrupt recycle bin error" ... also looks like my issue we'll see.
Overall Review: Newegg's shipping of OEM drives... I only buy my gear from Newegg for the quality customer service, however I've read bad packaging comments and thought it a fluke- but it happened to me. I RMA'd 1 of the 2 drives because of very poor packaging. Newegg didn't hesitate to replace it (Thanks Newegg) but I still have the wait time.
2 day ship is really 7 day!
Pros: I got a Pi! Haven't built it yet but I'm excited. I think I will be making a case out of an old film camera....
Cons: Selected to go for the extra charge for the 2 day shipping, purchased 3 on a Wednesday (late) received a shipped on Friday email. In my hands on Wednesday the following week. Might as well call it "two days shy of 2 week" shipping!
Overall Review: Really really upset about the 2 day thing. I figure packed and out on Friday I could live with, I get the 'no Sat or Sun' but then I should have it in hands by Monday or at the most Tuesday. It's a screwing to say 2 day.
WOW

Overall Review: Like I said, I'm picking up another one. Very quiet and worth the extra $ So cool, I had to write the same review for both. (Used in: Antec 300 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower w/ 4gb of ram, 4 2tb drives AMD 6400+ and an old GeForce 9800gt)
No Volume
Pros: Clear and crisp for a cheep pair- great for kids.
Cons: No Volume - the output levels leave a lot to be desired. HOWEVER- I decided to hook them up for my daughter (5yr) and I have less worries about her volume levels and ears now.
Overall Review: I truly recommend them for your child - NOT AT ALL for Mature Gameing or Media
Sad SIP issues
Pros: Strong signal, easy to config.
Cons: Port forwarding does NOT work for SIP. I played for an hour trying to get my VOIP to work and finally googled the issue. There is a problem with the firmware and tech support has been very little help even at the top level. If you use VOIP read through this first then make your decision. goto: forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=7108.0
Overall Review: If your looking at spending this much money for a router, then you will want it to perform like it costs, look at a netgear or linksys, they are in bed with VOIP companies they have to work with your SIP.
