Most Favorable Review

Top quality!

Antec ISK Series ISK 300-150 Black 0.8mm Cold Rolled Steel Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150W Power Supply
Antec ISK Series ISK 300-150 Black 0.8mm Cold Rolled Steel Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150W Power Supply

Pros: Heavy duty, well built, looks like it will last!

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Antec has always been a quality line and I was not disappointed by this case. Paired with a mini-ITX AMD 2.0GHz 4-core APU, a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet card, 4GB RAM and a 120GB SSD this will be my new pfSense-based firewall router. Oh, I'll also be plugging a Wireless AP into it. Good bye Linksys!

Most Critical Review

Total garbage!

Linksys WRT1900ACS Open Source Ready Smart Wi-Fi Gigabit Router Supported by DD-WRT, eSATA / USB 3.0 (WRT1900ACS)
Linksys WRT1900ACS Open Source Ready Smart Wi-Fi Gigabit Router Supported by DD-WRT, eSATA / USB 3.0 (WRT1900ACS)

Pros: None

Cons: 5G wireless flaky out of the box. Constantly resets itself.

Overall Review: Factory firmware is unusable due to bugs. Installed DD-WRT but the 5G wireless never worked correctly. It would constantly reset. Finally died completely. Contacted Linksys support. They offered to replace. A couple of weeks later, after nagging us to send back the old router even though they hadn't sent the new one, they informed us that moel was no longer available due to "issues"! Two more weeks of nagging for the return of the old one and they informed us they were cancelling the order because we hadn't responded - over the Christmas holiday! Called them again and were informed that the replacement model was no longer available either. They sent us some new piece of garbage that can only be configured via mobile app! This is for a business and we don't allow mobile devices to connect to the wireless due to security concerns. A formerly outstanding brand has sunk to garbage status since being acquired by Belkin. An expensive lesson but I'll never purchase another Linksys product!

Very disappointed!

Pros: Unit looks really nice. I love the external USB case! It *is* fast, though based on others reviews I was expecting more. Could be because it won't boot in AHCI mode (see below). Unlike others, I did get my rebate in a timely fashion.

Cons: My second one just died on me. Neither the original or the replacement was in service more than two months. BSOD and Windows can't find a boot device. The BIOS even stopped recognizing the first drive entirely! Windows 7 could not boot in AHCI mode with the drive, either. I thought maybe I was having thermal problems since I leave my PC on all the time, so I purchased a Rosewill adapter with fan for the second one, but it didn't last any longer than the first. I had also installed an extra fan on the side of the PC case. Temps as reported by the BIOS are all well within acceptable limits.

Overall Review: I am very disappointed. I went with Kingston because I have found their RAM to be very reliable. Even when they send me a replacement for this one, I won't be putting it in my PC as the boot device. I'll be looking for another brand for that task. I might install this one as a location for temp files.
