Pros: -35W @ idle -65W @ 100% cpu (this i3 by itself is rated @ 65W, meaning the PSU and motherboard are incredibly efficient) -Whisper quiet, even while running almost a dozen routers in GNS3 -Front fan duct designed well for keeping the internal drives cool -Completely tool-less case design -Best tool-less PCI slot system I've ever seen -Nicely designed internal drive vibration mounts (not sure why people are complaining about this) -More USB 3.0 ports than USB 2.0 ports -Windows Server 2012 runs SMOOOOOOTH as butter with this hardware -The lack of a hard drive reduces the price, and allows you to get ones you prefer instead of whatever brand they want you to have

Cons: -Tool-less external drive mounts are poorly engineered... just use the screw holes with some thumb screws instead -COM 2 header does not take standard DB-9 harness connector (not a huge deal, but still) -No RDIMM ECC memory support (but at this price point, you can't really expect that... at least it does UDIMM ECC) -Single NIC -Front USB 3.0 harness header is not a standard connector -Non-standard power supply connector, but same voltages and pin sizes and typical PSUs. Easy to adapt to an aftermarket unit (and if you think otherwise, you have no business being inside of a computer chassis).

Overall Review: If you plan on a 10Gb NIC or running a 12Gb SAS setup, be sure to use the 1st X16 PCIe slot for the best bandwidth. That one is a Gen3 PCIe while the other slots are just Gen2. Also, I'm really shocked at how many of the one-egg reviews are way out of line, especially the guys using Server 2003 and non-R2 2008. If you value the security of your servers, you'd get smart and upgrade already. Lenovo did you a favor by not supplying drivers for those operating systems. Additionally, if you think this is really an enterprise class server, you should seek another profession. This is designed for specialty tasks and small business needs, not a datacenter. The specs alone should be enough to tell you that. In closing, this server is perfect for things you would typically see an appliance for, like an IP camera security DVR, a small business database server, or even a firewall/VPN system. This would also be a good light-duty NAS, and also does ok with GNS3 (though I have since changed over to one of the Xeon-E3 models for Cisco training). Also, these servers are made in Mexico, not China despite what another reviewer said. I guess nobody reads anymore.

Pros: -None

Cons: -Top slot kept failing intermittently. Swapped cables, drives, ports, you name it. Was driving me nuts trying to troubleshoot. -Build quality of the included SATA cables is quite poor. Connectors do not fit snugly. Tried them on another rig to be sure it wasn't this hot swap rack.

Overall Review: In the past, Rosewill used to be good to me. However, I have to say that in the last year, I've been getting nothing but garbage from them, and this is probably going to be the last straw.

Pros: -On-board video that's separate from the CPU -Shared RAM for video adjustable (rare for this type of setup) -IDE and floppy interfaces -Large array of CPU support -Good price

Cons: -Memory slots can only support one pair of whatever type of RAM you're using. There's two slots for DDR2 and two slots for DDR3. -CPU fan controller only supports 4-pin fans. 3-pin fans will run at full speed regardless of settings in BIOS (even after BIOS update). -SATA controller does IDE and RAID modes, but not AHCI. Not a huge deal since I'm using a PCI x1 add-on controller that meets my needs in this regard. -Only one PCI x1 slot. A full-size ATX version of this board would be nice so we can have more of these.

Overall Review: Got this to replace the motherboard I fried in my data recovery rig; the IDE and floppy support make it perfect for this task. Plus the AM2/DDR2 support meant that I didn't need to get new CPU/RAM. What I have still works perfectly, and it plenty for what I use the rig for. ASRock's motherboards never blow me away, but they've never died on me either. There's always little things that irk me though, such as everything I listed in the cons. Really can't complain too much given this is the only non-used motherboard option out there for AM2/AM2+ CPUs.

Pros: None

Cons: Worked for about a month, then the images started getting dim, followed by the loss of all red and blue colors on one of the outputs. I barely moved the thing around and it's doing stuff like this, imagine if you used it on the go.

Pros: -Great Price -Looks great -Included fans are good for being only 80mm -Case supports 120mm fans -Good variety of drive mounting options (see "Other thoughts")

Cons: -The HDD LED is brighter than the sun, while the power LED is barely visible... a tad annoying -The PSU's 12V rail is only 11.5A. Keep this in mind if you're tossing in a power-hungry CPU and GPU. -The SATA power cables are a bit short for the 2.5" hard drive mount (see "Other thoughts") -Front fan exhaust requires ample clearance UNDER the case for proper ventilation due to lack of vents on the front cover. Get thick rubber feet to keep this from being an issue.

Overall Review: The drive mounting specs are WAY off! Shame on you, Newegg! Here are the correct specs: 1x 2.5" internal (mounts on bottom of case) 2x 3.5" internal 1x 3.5" external 1x 5.25" internal 1x 5.25" external

Pros: -Remote monitoring over LAN works flawless on iPhone app -Very quick system recovery after power loss -Fantastic price -Relatively easy interface -Can use an old TV or a newer PC monitor

Cons: -Awful user instructions (none for the smartphone apps) -Reliability of remote monitoring over internet is hit or miss -Remote download video format is not a common one (requires laviewcloud website to view) -Remote viewing site only seems to work with Internet Explorer -Included camera IR range is 15 feet at best; nowhere close to 50 feet

Overall Review: If you need security on the cheap, and this isn't your first rodeo, you've found the right choice. If you're a novice, stay away and look elsewhere. Additionally, expect 4 cameras to require 1TB of hard drive space for one month's worth of recordings. Keep this in mind when you chose a hard drive.
