Most Favorable Review

Bought three over time

EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter
EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter

Pros: Easy to install, it's small and lightweight. You could take it anywhere.

Cons: Its almost too small. The signal strength isnt always the best (however within a house it worked fine for me)

Overall Review: I bought one to try it and have since bought 2 more. Its worth what theyre charging for it.

Most Critical Review

Board was warped

GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Over all a good board, although the northbridge seems to run a little hot.

Cons: Board was warped when I received it. Still ran stable, so i didnt care too much for a manufacturer RMA... Still kind of disappointed after spending $109.

Overall Review: Will never buy a gigabyte MOBO again... chalk it up to life lessons... Spend a few more dollars and get a better board.

Good for the pricet

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: This thing is great for the price. There is no reason to take off eggs for the drive not doing something its not advertised to do. So far i have had 0 (zero) problems with either the reliability or function of this drive.

Cons: none

Overall Review: for a budget build with a little more bang, this was not a bad drive.

FAST!

Mushkin Enhanced Mulholland 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model MKNUFDMH16GB
Mushkin Enhanced Mulholland 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model MKNUFDMH16GB

Pros: This thing is incredibly fast. I have gotten write speeds above 20mbps.

Cons: none as of yet, besides the generic feel..

Overall Review: It feels generic, but it runs so fast and so far reliably.

DO NOT BUY!

EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 01G-P3-1302-RX
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 01G-P3-1302-RX

Pros: NONE

Cons: DOA..

Overall Review: Spend the few extra dollars and get something that works... the first time.

Nice CPU If only the heatsink worked

AMD FX-4100 - FX-Series Zambezi Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD4100WMGUSBX
AMD FX-4100 - FX-Series Zambezi Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD4100WMGUSBX

Pros: Great speed for a great price, no problem with the CPU.

Cons: Fan on the Heatsink was DOA.

Overall Review: Sure I could have just bought a cheap $5 80 mm fan to replace it (That's what is mounted on the heatsink) but when I pay over $100 for one part, I want it to work right the first time! RMA'd
