WOW!

SilverStone OP650 650 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
SilverStone OP650 650 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Really impressive. Long plentiful wrapped wiring. Comes with a power cord the thickness of a sharpie not a pencil sized cord supporting the PS. Packaged well.

Cons: None found.

Overall Review: I do not like 98% of the PS's I use. I keep trying to find the one. Well the hunts over. I would not use this in a typical desktop it would be overkill. But when I have mission critical hardware this one will be used. I do not doubt it will be reliable.

Flakey DSL

Cisco Small Business WRV210 Wireless VPN Router with RangeBooster 802.11b/g up to 54Mbps

Pros: Worked great with cable

Cons: Would not work reliably with a DSL (PPPOe). It would connect sometimes maybe for several minutes at the most. Then lose its connection.

Bummer

D-Link DWL-3200AP 802.11b/g Managed Access Point up to 108Mbps/ Plenum-rated Metal Chassis/ PoE Support
D-Link DWL-3200AP 802.11b/g Managed Access Point up to 108Mbps/ Plenum-rated Metal Chassis/ PoE Support

Pros: POE, Manageable

Cons: Firmware v2.55 will not allow me to change the default IP when changed and saved. This would be a huge issue if more than one AP was involved. Also will not retain the SSID when changed the saved. Something is not right with the firmware.

Bad

Pros: Huge

Cons: Died within 2 months. Began spewing errors and then it died.

Overall Review: A hard drive should be reliable.

Died

Pros: Huge

Cons: Died after 2 months.

Overall Review: Now i have to rma and get a re manufactured drive that will maybe last 2 months. wd drives usually work well. this large of a drive i did not have faith in to start with and all that money later i am disappointed. i have had no luck with getting any time out of a re-manufactured drive to date.

Pros: I would like to say something nice.

Cons: Has a serious problem

Overall Review: Bought a bunch of components (the right ones) to assemble a computer as a gift for my son. out of the box this thing has given me a fit. 1st it led me to think the new hard drive was bad and i opened a rma and paid for $10 shipping. hours later when i used additional drives to continue... the board itself proved to the the problem. i narrowed it down to the chipset driver will not take. blue screen city. i contacted technical support who asked me the same questions like 5 times each and finally told me to return it. days before christmas bummer
