Pros: - Quiet - Surprisingly good airflow - Ball bearings instead of cheap sleeve bearing

Cons: - Would be nice if they came with grills - The gray blades are not terribly attractive - The 3 pin cables are bit too short for full tower cases - Sleeved cables would be nice, had to use electrical tape to get the cables under control

Overall Review: These cons are common to almost all case fans, sadly. This fan is one of the best performing I have ordered. Its airflow is really good for the almost zero noise it produces.

Pros: It is a nice board with everything I needed on it. solid ASUS construction. Love the front panel connector block. The BIOS has a lot of options it in for everything you might need to set.

Cons: Putting in 4 sticks of memory (8GB total) at 1066 is very finicky. The memory had lots of errors using SPD. I had to work with OCZ support for a week to get to timings that worked. I ended up with one board working at full 1066 speed, but on the other I had to settle for 800 in order to get it to run with no errors. One of the boards died after a month of use. RMA with newegg was painless, but still frustrating to have this computer down for a week after already having to spend a week getting the memory working.

Pros: Using this as a add on drive for XBox One S and it is working fine in that capacity so far. Setting the RAID mode it a little confusing but explained in the manual well enough. Getting built in RAID at this price is pretty nice.

Cons: The fan is not obnoxiously loud, but is still considerably louder than the fan on the XBox One S; to the extent that I usually turn the unit off when I am not using the XBox. The LEDs are way too bright. This seems to be endemic with the blue LEDs nowadays. I ended up having to put two layers of masking tape over the LEDs to dim them to a reasonable level. Even through two layers of masking tape they are still pretty bright. Seating the drives is a bit tricky. They do not seat in a very positive way and you are not sure if they are in all the way. If you don't align them perfectly there is a chance you can break the SATA connector while trying to insert the drive. A less wobbly rail system would have been preferred.

Overall Review: Pass through USB for daisy chaining would have been nice

Pros: Sounds fine, looks fine, overall working great so far.

Cons: The cables are very short. I had to buy an extension cord for the power, a DB9 extension cable and a 3.5mm extension cable. I positioned the subwoofer right under the hole in the upper part of the back of my desk (made to feed cables to under the desk). The power cable will not even reach from ground where the sub was to the hole in upper part of desk and back down to the power strip just below the hole. The subwoofer connects to the right speaker using a DB9 cable; it would not reach up to the hole and over about 3 feet. The left speaker connects with an RCA plug cable, which is the only one that did reach thanks to the left speaker being almost right over the hole. The right speaker connects to the computer with a 3.5mm stereo plug which was a tad too short to reach across half of the desk. If you want to position the subwoofer on the ground under your desk you will almost definitely need at least a DB9 extension cable; make sure you DO NOT get a "null modem cable" as this crosses over the wires.

Overall Review: The speakers are unprotected and are on both the front and the back. This makes it difficult to move them without accidentally grabbing by one of the speaker holes. Be careful moving them around. If you position the speakers on their side to be under your monitors then the headphone jack will be facing down.

Pros: Everything seems to work with it so far. No technical complaints yet.

Cons: All my complaints are ergonomic. 1. Giant netgear logo on the front that is lit up by very bright white LEDs; and there is NO way to turn these LEDs off! This is inexcusable 2. It is very large and there are no orientation or mounting options. It has to stand up the way you see it in the picture, period. 3. Puts off a good amount of heat. 4. The admin interface is awkward and confusing. It also blocks all internet access until you initially configure it, but the instructions for initial config did not work on my browser. Had to guess the numeric IP

Pros: - Seems to cool fine - LEDs go off after a short period so it does not light up the room at night - No leaks so far

Cons: - The fan is fairly loud and it runs continuously when in AC mode; you can't really leave this unit on all the time - The window setup is a problem if you have a lip on the inside side of the window sill. I had to put foam tape on the bottom to raise it up enough to be able to attach the hose to the windows adapter.

Overall Review: - The installation instructions in the manual are pretty vague; make sure you have everything oriented correctly and make a complete dry run before duct taping anything in - The window adapter does not have any insulation value; you will need to at least seal it up with duct tape, and you will need foam or something to fill in the upper window gap caused by the adapter
