Updates on product reviews and builds

@Logan @wendell

I was wondering if we could get a couple of updates on some of the products that you have reviewed in the past and how they have held up over time. I personally am very interested in @Logan opinion on the Monoprice tripods and how they have held up over long term use. I would also like to see something about the latest Nas build and how the harddrives are doing after several months of use and how many if any of the drives have failed or what probalems you have had and what you would do different if you were starting over again. I think a few of these long term updates would be really nice in helping some of us decide on what products to go with. Thanks for all of the great videos and for all of the help with everything.

This could be a big discussion, but I'll mention the ones you asked about...

The NAS is amazing. The motherboard we used the first time had been used in 5 or 6 different videos so we swapped it out for the exact same model and that is all... it works fine... and has been rock solid. Can't beat those HGST drives and the Intelligent Memory unbuffered ECC memory.

The monoprice tripods are fine. We use them when we travel some and they are solid. We don't use them a ton, but enough to say that they are good.

If you want to know about any other hardware that we have reviewed, let me know.

If at all possible I and several other people that I know would like to hear an update on @wendell mocrosoft pro / linux tablet and how that has held up since he has changed it. What would he do different, what he likes vs. dislikes, and what he wishes it could do on linux that it did under windows before. I am also curious about the Asrock Beebox and how that is working out for a Htpc computer. I am looking for something that is slimline and easy to use that I can set up for my parents as a media computer and I was curious about how reliable it has been and how it has held up.

Thanks once again.
