Pros: - Really Compact Design (able to hit all keys using your two thumbs) - Air Mouse/Keyboard all-in-one. - Keyboard keys require decent amount of pressure to activate (not too touchy or hard) - Top row hot keys for multimedia functions After using the Gyration mouse and keyboard for a couple of years. I now find myself using the Cideko mouse to select something like the address bar of a browser window and then starting to set the device down to go pickup a keyboard... and then catch myself thinking, oh yeah, I have the keyboard already. :)

Cons: - Mouse is not as responsive as the Gyration devices, but close - Not rechargeable, Gyration mouse was rechargeable - No F1-F12 keys (impact for games) - No 10 Key keypad (impacts high-ASCII character passwords)

Overall Review: Battery life is unknown ATT; however, the device does sleep. Replaced Gyration combo (GYM1100CKNA) with Cideko AVK-02-915 device. I’ve also replaced all the old school components: amp/cd/dvd/receiver/tape/vcr (NOTE: not old enough to have record player or 8 track stuff ;)) and now drive with a single PC. However, Family Room was starting to look like work (mid-sized tower PC, keyboard, mouse, ups, and wires. Honestly, those flashing blue drive/system activity lights were also driving me nuts. Wife really likes the following rework of making the room look like a “Family Room” instead of a teens gaming den. With this new addition the Family Room HTPC consists of: Cideko Air Mouse/Keyboard, Logitech Harmony 900 RF Remote, Logitech Z-5500 5.1 driving all Bose AM5 speakers, nMediaPC HTPC 8000 (antique radio) case, Hauppauge Colossus capture card, low power (20w) Zotac AMD E-350 MB, and feeding a 47” plasma TV. Really… really hard to detect a computer is even in the room.

Pros: - Balance Power and Speed - Price point was decent

Cons: WD DIAG and BIOS SMART POST detected this drive as failed; hopefully, I haven't missed something in the BIOS. - Price point was decent, but not after paying to send back - Waiting on RMA - Refurbished items: you can't change from a WD Blue to another product like a WD Green drive

Overall Review: This was a refurbished drive. Hopefully the company/person doing the refurbishing isn't simply resending these out until they get two failures on the S/N. Find it hard to believe that someone really doing their job would allow this drive to go back out to the consumer in this state. Want to give whomever the benefit of the doubt; however, when companies are cutting so many corners I almost have to fault the manufacture for the short comings and failures.

Pros: Great CPU while it lasted. Used this box for h2ts encoding of HD Canon videos of our kids movies and home videos. Rips would take about 30-60 mins with CUDA support and all 6 cores around 50%.

Cons: Back when ownership was less than 30 days my system reported 5 cores instead of 6. I thought it was a fat finger event in the BIOS and changed it back to 6 (I also wrote a review back then). System has worked okay without reverting back to less than 6 cores, until now. Now the system will not keep 6 cores active, reverts to 5, and is really slugish.

Overall Review: it appears newegg is no longer supporting this cpu... not sure of options. Support seams to be going down hill here... Since return and warranty not covered by Newegg - may take business else where.

Pros: Powerful little box for being so compact, VESA mount behind monitor/wall or desktop upright/flat, 6 USB, DVI, HDMI, eSATA, 6n1 card reader, WiFi b/g/n, 10/100/1000 NIC. With config of 8GB RAM and 60GB SSD - Power Consumption: 18-20W. Zotac customer support friendly/helpfull.

Cons: Box worked great for a couple of hours. I think things went downhill at the firmware upgrade (2v behind) and the speed SATA 6M increase was worth the chance of bricking the box. It appeas Zotac needs alot of work in the area of in-field firmware updates, read the docs and/or call and have them walk you through the update.

Overall Review: If your building this box plug all your: keyboard, mouse, and the device your booting to into the USB 2 slots only. There is no support for USB 3.0 on the Win7 media and you'll bang your head on the desk trying to load drivers. System being replaced was a quad-core used for home automation via homeseer. The old box was about 150W 24/7 $0.10 Kwh ($9.70 @ mth). The Zotac box, if the next one continues to work, max draw was 20W (SSD draws 2W max; will sleep the drive until Zwave signal received) - about $1.30, which gives a 2.3 year payback in energy savings + 2 months due to newegg changing for returns. NewEgg - What ever happend to returns being apart of the cost of doing business. Customers: beaware that newegg is offloading the RMA shipping for items that are broken to you. This items is going back to NewEgg and it will cost me an additional $11.66, plus time :: shrug :: PS. I'm giving the old quad-core to family or Good Will. Not a bad box if not on 24/7.

Pros: Update to previous 3 Egg Post... Five (5) Egg Rating.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Some how my BIOS settings were changed to shutdown core #4. After changing the BIOS setting all six cores are online and working again. I guess it must have been my oversight; maybe a fat finger :)

Pros: 1.) AMD's Price vs Intel's Price 2.) Faster than my old Quads shaved a couple of mins off our HD Video encoding... however, see the cons section.

Cons: 1.) Lost a core - not sure when - but the BIOS and TaskManager both show only 5 cores. 2.) Bought this to help cut down on the time it takes to re-encode our HD CAM video. For each 1 min of .m2t video it takes all x6 core at 100% 3-4 mins to code to H264. If I do some fancy PIP (such as 3-4 videos on screen at same time) the ratio is 1:7-10. However, I'm also using Pinnacle14, which isn't the best at using CUDA. Maybe this process of encoding at 100% for 60-90 mins at a time caused a core failure. :: shrug ::

Overall Review: Bought these as one of NewEgg's combo deals (Motherboard and AMD X6 Proc). Attempting to contact NewEgg to see what and/or how they will support this...
