I did not make time for this series until last week. I have now used my allotment of Netflix Watch it Now instant viewing for the month - 24 hours - On this Series. I had to start at the beginning and finish it. I was so hooked, I had to go to NBC.com and watch the shows that Netflix did not have yet. I saw my first TV broadcast tonight and told the wife to "expect it" until their season is over. Love it....

It could be a little quieter and cooler but for what it does, it is awesome. Raid 5 with hatspare and forget it. The boards are long lasting, the drives have good airflow. Up to 8 drives in a raid config. Purchasing raid later is a small pain but configured right the first time you will love it. For the average office file server, SAS drives are fine. For an office with Exchange, file and print services, get SCSI drives. Either way, expect it to last in this box....

I routinely buy these systems with the works - including a 3 yr warranty for about one thousand dollars. PC's are half price. For that price I get a dual core, 2 GhZ AMD or Intel, 2 GB of memory and a large fast drive. They work great, look great and last - with one exception. Just like every vendor out there, they buy parts from everywhere and the one part that stands the most chance of dying is the drive. Some models come with Toshiba hard drives and in my experience, they last about a year. Other than that - the system is rock solid. Every other vendor uses this drive at times also so go ahead and buy, just backup your data monthly....

With an extended battery, I am able to talk all day. I charge it every other day. I have been downright abusive to this phone and it performs every time. I don't require anything more than cell and txt but it has other features that could be handy. The camera is typical low quality and the video mode is no better, but in a pinch, they are better than nothing. Talk time and strong reception are mandatory for me - this phone has it. I would buy again....

Taking this out of the equasion, the blade set they use is hard on my skin. I have been using it for almost a year and I am not happy with it. I know that every vendor has different lines and different heads on them - pick another line. I have an older Norelco (6846XL) that I also use and love. It never pulls a hair or leaves my skin raw. However - the newer model is better with longer facial hair and the multiple leds that display qty of battery life is nice....

I have had no problems with it since I hung it on the wall. We use it a combined 5+ hours per day. I would buy it again, and agian. Coror is good, picture sharp, when used in combination with a radio remote, as we have, it is usable throughout the house for TV or Music through Direct TV....
