I would recommend their products except for one thing: They have quite a 
few different models which experience a still-unfixed problem where the 
Ethernet port(s) simply go silent for 5-20 minutes and then come back 
all on their own (or with a reboot). Totally unacceptable, and their 
support forums are filled with others having the same problem *and* no 
confirmation of what the company is doing to fix it.

And hard to debug, I'm sure, because the problem is one of those 
"happens every other day for 4 days, then not again for 3 weeks" kinds 
of bugs.
