Pros: Not "jet engine loud". Pushes 240 CFM at a reasonable noise level, wattage. and cost. Actually, I feel like this is pretty cheap. I used to use a GFB, but it finally reached a point where it needed to be retired. It didn't push as much air and it cost like 30% more or something.

Cons: It's not a massive 120x72 dual motor fan and it doesn't push 300CFM. It also doesn't require its own power supply, so that's not a very good con.

Overall Review: Let's get serious for a moment. In the all important noise factor, fans like this are making two noises. There's the motor hum and the sound of airflow. Most (~85%) of the sound is just airflow. It's kinda like driving with the windows down. Figure out how you'll handle phone calls and you're fine. It's actually pretty easy to sleep in the same room with a fan like this.

Pros: Works. Detects drives that modern UEFI bioses might refuse to detect. Can be flashed to non-RAID card easily.

Cons: Super unreliable. Absolutely will not handle sustained reads. I started with two drives connected to this thing. Basically got a BSoD every single time Windows wanted to use VM on one of the drives, so I migrated one drive to a new drive and thought I fixed that problem. Finally today, I wake up to my computer being powered off. The remaining drive was wrecked. Took two or three chkdsk attempts just to "fix" it. Lost an entire program directory and a couple hours of my life. Luckily, the mobo has miraculously fixed itself. Previously, the mobo refused to detect this drive, now it does. Not sure how that works, but I'll take it. Drive is attached to the mobo where it belongs. SATA card is back in the box where it belongs. Hopefully I'll never need this hunk of junk ever again. Thanks for nothing to all parties involved. Silicon Image should be ashamed of themselves.

Overall Review: Just buy USB 3.0 adapters. They can't be any worse.

Pros: It works alright. Windows 7 found the drivers perfectly fine for me, which is good since I got no driver CD. Generic USB 2.0 cables and wireless dongles fit side-by-side easily into the ports, despite looking cramped. YMMV with bulkier cables and legitimate USB 3.0 things. Looks pretty good tucked in there.

Cons: Didn't ship from USA...sigh. Really finicky. The ports are, in fact, right side up. You're going to need to carefully shove the plug fully into the ExpressCard for it to not feel loose. USB 2.0 plugs will fit nice and snug upside down into the ports, but the card doesn't much appreciate this.

Overall Review: I didn't test for speed or high power applications and I don't imagine it fairing too well in them, to be honest. I got this for things like flash drives and dongles so I can keep my regular ports open for more serious business.

Pros: Needed a new portable device like a tablet or something. Wanted an iPad, but one of those used runs for a couple of bennies. Even a cheap reader is four andy jacks, and you have to run through hoops to make it do anything useful. Then I realized that the laptop market was completely in the sink and said to heck with that garbage. While this system isn't going to win any boxing matches with a high end i7 system, it ain't bad. The 4300M is way sportier than I imagined, easily running the lighter loads that I expect from my desktop A10-7850k system. Not much for multitasking, but how much multitasking can you do at 1366x768? Not much. Runs KOPLAYER fine with VT enabled in BIOS. I can actually play a flash game in Perrin inside KOPLAYER at decent speed. Seems like a good solution to me, in comparison to over-paying for a tablet with inadequate storage capacity. Battery life seems adequate as well. This system does have bluetooth, but there's some issues that I'll get to with that. Monitor is adequate with crisp picture, but it seems like the viewing angle is suspect for something portable. The touchpad is pretty good. Not many accidental clicks and it does all the double touch tricks, although it's weird scrolling with the opposite motion as you would a mobile device.

Cons: The bluetooth is nearly useless as W7 won't allow you to use BT devices for audio for whatever insane reason. Luckily, the built in audio (IDT) is also garbage and doesn't output stereo properly from the jack. That's a debacle.

Overall Review: Keys to the game: Get the AMD driver updater. Enable VT in BIOS. Snag an audio solution of some kind.

Pros: Picked one of these up at the local store when my HDMI adapter died. As a secondary monitor it's not bad. Honestly, a half decent 1080p monitor makes a really good secondary since you can actually do stuff on it. Image quality is good enough for what I use it for (which is basically web browser and nothing else). Good monitor for the price, I suppose. Dark scenes actually look better than on the U2412M (as long as you're staring straight at the monitor).

Cons: Welp. It's 1080p which, per popularity, is the worst resolution of all time. In comparison to the U2412M, it's easy to see why this monitor costs a benny less. Viewable angle is an embarassment, stand is greatly inferior, no USB hub, no Display Port, almost 2" shorter because of crummy resolution. Etc. Again, you're spending a lot less. Can't complain too much. Like the Ultrasharp, there's no HDMI. Luckily, if you're forced into the option for whatever reason, the expensive solution of [monitor > DVI adapter > HDMI cable > PC] does work.

Overall Review: Would be nice if I could just buy the Dell pivot stand.

Pros: 1920x1200 is, unlike every other widescreen resolution besides 2560x1440, a respectable resolution that you can actually scale something to and it not look awful. Panel has good color, usually, and very good viewing angle. I actually have a crappier Dell 1080p 24" panel sitting right next to this one and the viewable angle is dramatically better. Stand is very good and allows you to use the monitor sideways without a lot of effort.

Cons: Despite something like 20 years of development and all the new fangled tech in the world, there's still ghosting at freaking 60fps on this panel. It's not as bad as I've seen, but you're still not getting the image quality that top of the line CRTs were giving you in the late 90s. Furthermore, really dark scenes are not good on this panel. There's a strange effect that looks like the monitor is really reflective or something. Coming out of a fullscreen game that alters the gamma setting will cause a really obvious yellowing to occur. I think it does eventually wear off, but it's unattractive. No HDMI is slightly annoying.

Overall Review: At this point, it's either this monitor or a 2560x1440 monitor. 1440 is whole multiple of 480 and 720, so that's really awesome. At 5/8 the pixels, this monitor is less likely to give you performance fits, though. Pick your poison. Don't pick 1080p.

Item was an excellent price -- basically unbeatable -- and I received it in an acceptable time frame. Can't really say anything in particular about the experience.
