APC SmartSlot Expansion Chassis

Advantages: Good Quality
Disadvantages: Over Priced, USB Now Used

...People reading this review might think I've gone mad! He's reviewing a printer cable.. I can hear you saying it now. Well as a matter of fact I have a lot to say about this small cable. A few years ago when I purchased my Lexmark I had a cable like the one above. Unlike the newer USB cables one's like the APC are bigger and a little harder to plugin then USB cables. My rabit decided to chew through the cable, luckly he was ok, but I had to purchase a new printer cable, enter on the scene APC. I looked around for a new cable and found the APC printer cable for around fifteen pounds, a little overpriced but I looked on the back of the packet for more information. The APC cable provides extra protection against data lost, power faults and any other problems you might have. It also works well with home nextworking. I was also happy... Read review

Advantages: Intel's 845 chip set allows PC manufacturers to pair Pentium 4 CPUs with SDRAM instead of more-expensive RDRAM. HP's latest Vectra, with a 2-GHz P4 and 256MB of PC133 memory,
Disadvantages: The speakers integrated into the system case produce lackluster, tinny sound.

...Though the vents on the front of the gray and blue desktop are reminiscent of the grille of a Ford truck, the case does sport some features that should prove useful to IT managers, such as chassis-intrusion detection and easy interior access. To open the system, just lift a latch handle and then pop off the top. Inside, you can access the three open PCI slots and two drive bays (one for a hard drive only) without tools. You can insert drives after you snap off the front panel, and add expansion cards after pressing a green tab, which pops off a support cover. With HP's Ultraflow cooling system, the components stay cool with very little noise. this is a very good pc overall i wouild definetly recommend this to any1... Read review

Advantages: Awesome Battery Backup
Disadvantages: Heavy!!!

...Bought one to keep my server and comm's kit up. Boy o boy does it do the job, for no less than 2 hours. Running 2 Servers, 2 PC's and comm's cab!! In daily use this UPS could run a business with no problems, with all the flexibility that most network managers are after. When it arrived, it was wrapped like a small house, and weighed as much as a car. It was immediately put into action and has only been turned off once, to fit an APC Network Management card. It comes with all the needed cables and an adapter to cut a plug off a lead and make it UPS Compatible. The software comes in the box, but you can download the latest one off APC's Website as there was an issue with the version 6 software and a security thing running out. Definetly a worthwhile purchase, and would recommend anyone else to buy it as well!!!... Read review
