Does its job

LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe
LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe

Pros: It completes its tasks.DVD's and CD's burn quickly, never more than ~8 minutes.

Cons: It is a little noisy when reading at highest spin, but it doesn't really bother me.

Overall Review: I haven't yet tried the LightScribe feature.I have owned this for two months so far(10/07).

Most Critical Review

Piece of junk

Rosewill 7-sheet Cross-Cut Paper, Credit Card and Staples Shredder (RSH-407CB)
Rosewill 7-sheet Cross-Cut Paper, Credit Card and Staples Shredder (RSH-407CB)

Pros: It worked...

Cons: ...for about a month. It seems it was designed to fail after the 30 day return policy. I should have listened to other reviews and skipped this. I ended up getting a used $20 beast on craigslist instead. Go for quality...not junk like this. Lesson learned.

Good Monitor

Hanns-G 23.6" HD LCD Monitor (WLED) 5 ms 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI-D HE245DPB
Hanns-G 23.6" HD LCD Monitor (WLED) 5 ms 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI-D HE245DPB

Pros: Great screen at 1080p that does everything it's supposed to.

Cons: The user interface for the monitor settings could be more friendly but that's ok. Other than that I have noticed no other cons.

Mislabeling?

OCZ Technology Eclipse Black USB Wired Laser 2400 dpi Gaming Mouse
OCZ Technology Eclipse Black USB Wired Laser 2400 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Smooth tracking, multi-selectable and customizable high DPI! Very quiet and smooth wheel.

Cons: The light on top of the mouse can be annoying for some but hey, computer case lights can be annoying as well. The thumb buttons are loud as heck but then again, I don't use them very often.

Overall Review: I don't know if the box is meant for another model, but it claims to have "comfort adjust" on the front box and an image depicting the mouse open on top with weights that can be pulled out. Either I'm a monkey and can't figure out how to open it or it was mislabeled. I guess I better try to call their customer service to figure out what's up.

Helps keep it real...real chill

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: My cpu has not fried yet, it seems to be well cooled. Very good product, at a low price.

Cons: It didn't come with a sticker or some other free perk?...It just seems to be fine, no cons from me.

Overall Review: I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66Ghz(at optimum settings) running at ~40C idle and ~50C load with a Thermalright 120-extreme heatsink in an Antec 900 case. I may try using a thinner layer sometime to increase thermal transfer efficiency.

It works

MSI PC60G Turbo G Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g 32bit PCI2.2 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
MSI PC60G Turbo G Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g 32bit PCI2.2 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: It gets the job done, doesn't seem to drop the signal very much. I have had it running 24/7 and have only seen it fail about two times, though it fixes itself upon trying again, I don't mind having to restart and wait a minute or two. I am not too sure on the signal and transmission efficiency, so it looks like it's a good deal for the price.

Cons: It was a pain to install, I was under the impression that I had gotten a dead product for a couple of weeks, and was a hair close to an RMA'ing the thing back. Customer service is horrible, they made me wait 20-30 mins. only to have me leave my info for them to call me back. I ended up fixing the problem on my own, reinstalled drivers and just stuck to installing Microsoft's drivers rather than MSI's seemingly dead or idle software. I guess another small con would be that black color was not an option.
