Most Favorable Review

Good enough.

VANTEC NST-266S3-SV Aluminum / Plastic 2.5" Silver SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure
VANTEC NST-266S3-SV Aluminum / Plastic 2.5" Silver SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure

Pros: + Fairly Inexpensive. + Looks Nice + Screws keep it secured, not just a snap in. + Works.

Cons: - HDD from my Laptop didn't fit with disassembling the enclosure first. - Extremely short cord included. (16 inch)

Overall Review: Could stand to be a millimeter or two longer so the HDD will fit without having to take the controller out but so far it's doing its job.

Most Critical Review

Unimpressed.

SYBA Dual Fan Adjustable Cooling Stand for 19" Large Notebook Computers CL-NBK68023
SYBA Dual Fan Adjustable Cooling Stand for 19" Large Notebook Computers CL-NBK68023

Pros: - Quiet - Light - Lighting

Cons: - Flimsy (Rubbish all plastic for the most part) - Clips that pop up to hold the laptop are too short, any amount of tilt and my laptop falls off.

Overall Review: I have a 17 Inch Laptop (MSI) that I've had for years. It gets darn hot so I bought this. I'd say save your cash and find something of higher quality. It might be ok if you have a smaller laptop but those pop-up clips truly are useless for me.

Pleasantly surprised.

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: + Good cord length. + Good sound quality for the price. (Bass too) + Detachable Mic.

Cons: - A bit small for my head/ears. (Perfect for my lady though.) - Feel flimsy.

Overall Review: I bought these for my special lady and she likes them a lot. They are too small to fit comfortably on my head/ears so I'm sticking with my Gamescom headset. She hasn't used the mic yet so can't speak to its quality.

So far...

Rosewill RHKN-13002 5-Piece Ceramic Knife and Cutting Board Set - Black Handle
Rosewill RHKN-13002 5-Piece Ceramic Knife and Cutting Board Set - Black Handle

Pros: + Sharp + Look nice. + Non-stick. + Light weight

Cons: None really so far, though this is my first ceramic knife set so I'm paranoid they are going to break or chip at any moment. If you're high strung you might want to go with Stainless.

Overall Review: Only used a handful of times so far but these are very sharp and easy to clean. Handles are comfortable. I wasn't sure what to expect at their price but these are great so far. I'd recommend a wooden or slightly soft cutting board for these.

It works.

Maxi-Matic Elite EKT-7050 Stainless Steel 1.7L Cordless Electric Kettle
Maxi-Matic Elite EKT-7050 Stainless Steel 1.7L Cordless Electric Kettle

Pros: + Will boil cold water in 7 minutes. + Fairly quiet. + Water gauge.

Cons: - Lid doesn't open wide enough. - Cord is fairly short. - Power switch feels very flimsy. - Sometimes lid doesn't like to latch closed.

Overall Review: Really I'd give it a 3.5 / 5. If you can get a good sale on the item and like its styling go for it. It does the job.

Low quality plastic.

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: - Pretty - Some solid parts.

Cons: - Weak front plastic tabs. - Different sized thumb screws.

Overall Review: The plastic tabs that hold the front of the case on disintegrated as soon as I took the case out of the packaging. There's now nothing to hold it on. If you want a durable case, I would not recommend this case. Some parts of this case are very solid cheaping out on important features is not Ok though.
