Pros: I bought three of these things at once, one to use in a NAS server, and two to serve as backups in case of any acts of G-d. All of them work great, and I haven't had any problems so far.

Cons: Had to pay for them

Pros: It looked like it would have been nice to use.

Cons: I wanted to use this headset with a cordless phone I just bought, but the connector's incompatible. It has a "quick disconnect" connector that is designed to plug into another cable that plugs into a an RJ11 jack. I found that out when I went to use the headset for the first time. I did notice the funky connector when I read the documentation online before I ordered it, but I thought that it would come with some sort of adapter to plug into the 2.5mm jack. Apparently not. So, anybody like me who's looking for a high-quality headset to use with a cordless phone, beware! This isn't what you want.

Overall Review: I'm returning this and I'm going to try the M214C headset instead. I checked, and it has a 2.5mm connector.

Pros: Good board, when it works...

Cons: I had to manually download the latest BIOS from the ASUS website before it worked stably. It came with a buggy BIOS (0702), which caused the computer to hard-lock and BSOD under heavy load, and the Asus EZ update utility found and installed the next version (0902), which had the same problem, rather than the latest one! Assuming that the utility had done its job and found the latest BIOS, I then spent 3 days pulling my hair out and literally swapped out every component of the computer except the motherboard (including the SATA cables!). I was about to return the CPU, thinking it was defective (I had swapped the i7-4790k I was using with an i7-4770, which eliminated the crashes), when I randomly decided to check the website for updates. To my surprise, I saw that there was a BIOS update (1204) that the EZ update utility hadn't found! I flashed it, and the crashes with the i7-4790k disappeared. It's probably obvious, but I am not a happy customer.

Overall Review: To re-emphasize, if your computer is crashing, MANUALLY download the latest BIOS from the website. Don't trust the EZ update utility to get you the latest one! It can be used to flash the BIOS you download from the website, however. Hopefully I've saved a few other people a major headache.

Pros: Sharp, clear picture. No tint variation across the screen or between monitors.

Cons: A little thicker than newer LED-LCDs.

Overall Review: I ordered a pair of these monitors because the pair of Dell monitors I ordered had different tints. One of the Dells was slightly more yellow than the other. I read that the problem was rather common across brands since many use the same LG supplied IPS LCD panel, but NEC was one of the exceptions. While these NEC monitors are thicker and heavier because they use older technology (cold-cathode fluorescent lamps vs. LEDs), they're still thin enough for my purposes. If you want a good quality monitor (especially to avoid weird tint issues) and don't mind it being a little thicker than an LED display, I recommend buying one of these. They're well worth the price premium over other brands.

Pros: I bought two of these monitors. They both produce good color pictures. One produces nice, bright whites.

Cons: The whites are different on the two monitors. One has a yellow tint! That's unacceptable in a two-monitor setup. Search the Internet and you'll find that it's been a common problem with these monitors for nearly two years.

Overall Review: I would have expected Dell to fix this problem by now.

Pros: It works....sort of. It's also easy to set-up.

Cons: 1. Flaky communication: To act like a good extender, I gave the thing the same SSID as the router. Soon after that, I noticed that communication over the wireless network became flaky. The flakiness may be related to cloning the SSID. My laptop and other devices had a great WiFi connection, but the ability to communicate over it was intermittent. When I stopped using the extender, the flakiness disappeared. 2. No ability to hide the SSID! For us, that's unacceptable.

Overall Review: Before purchasing an extender, try some other things to improve your WiFi connectivity. Some things that worked for us after we decided to ditch this extender: 1. Move the router so that there aren't so many objects in the path of the signal. 2. If you have external antennas, remember that the signal is strongest perpendicular to the antennas. So, for example, if you're trying to access WiFi on a floor right below the router, position at least one of the antennas sideways, so it's parallel to the floor. Some people mentioned that putting tin foil behind the antenna to act like a dish helps. It might for some people, but I didn't notice any difference.
