Pros: FAST, stable, runs at advertised speeds*, heat spreaders look cool.

Cons: *Recognized as DDR2-800 by my EVGA 680i board until I upped the voltage to 2.3V.

Overall Review: Core2 6420, EVGA 680i mobo, 2 GB Mushkin DDR2-1066, EVGA 8800 GTS

Pros: Picked up 4 @ $84.99 each 3 worked

Cons: One was DOA, had to RMA at my expense.

Overall Review: I picked them up to build a NAS4Free NAS out of spare parts: Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz 4x 1 GB DDR2 500W Silverstone PSU Intel DG43GT motherboard onboard Intel gigabit NIC Intel ICH10 SATA controller (RAID array drives) Promise SATA150 PCI card (system drive) 500 GB Maxtor system/swap/jail drive 4x 3 TB HGST storage drives in soft RAID-Z1 configuration Old Antec look-alike case with 4 fans RAID array write speeds are typically 700-900 mbps and read speeds push 1 gbps and it barely breaks a sweat.

Pros: Does exactly what it says--plugs a 20-pin power supply into a 24-pin board without any open pins.

Cons: In stead of the pictured cable, with standard ATX colors, the wires are all orange--not exactly "multi-colored" as described.

Overall Review: After the power supply in my old Dell XPS 400 media center died, all I had laying around was an even older 425W PSU with a 20-pin main connector. It plugged in with just the 20 pins, leaving the 4 on the end open and seemed fine, then it started to flake out sitting idle, needing the power cord pulled to get it to turn back on. The power supply was good and had just enough output to handle it, so before I retired it or spent a bunch of money on an 8 year old system that I got for free, I decided to give this $3 cable (plus $1 shipping at the time) a try. It hasn't flaked out since.

Pros: It does exactly what it says it does: cache your primary hard drive at SSD speed. -Install it and forget it. -Games load in 1/3 the time. -Programs launch as fast as you can click on them. -It caches writes, not just reads. -Way cheaper than a 1 or 2 TB SSD. -Great inexpensive upgrade for an older machine.

Cons: No major cons, but a few nitpicky details: -For some reason everything but my boot and shutdown times seems faster. That's not really a con for me, though, because I never shut down unless I have to. -The Dataplex software has absolutely no user interface. -Mushkin recommends updating the drive's firmware but after installing the Dataplex software, the drive is hidden from Windows. You have to uninstall the software to update the firmware or update it before installing. -3.5" mounting bracket will probably work for most cases but it wouldn't work with my Antec P182. The bracket is too short for the bottom vertical hard drive bays and lacks the bottom screw holes for the upper horizontal bays. I had to use the bracket from an Intel SSD to mount it. -No Windows 8 support yet. I'm not running it but it may matter to some people. -The limitations that a few people have noted probably won't be a problem for 99% of the people buying one of these drives.

Overall Review: I'm only seeing about 275 MBps read and write speed, but it looks like my SATA-II controller is the bottleneck, not the drive itself. It's still easily 3x faster than the 1 TB Seagate Baracuda it's caching. I didn't want to sink a ton of money into my 6 year old Core 2 Quad build, but this breathed new life into it.

Pros: It gets the job done at a decent price.

Cons: Seems a little flimsy--the pins in the molex end wobble, making it difficult to plug in without pushing the pins out the back end. Also, on the PCIe end, the middle pin on the latch side is keyed wrong--it should be D shaped, not square. Either you have to trim it or gently shoehorn it in.

Overall Review: It saved me from having to buy a new power supply after a freak electrical accident. It took a little patience and elbow grease to install, though.

Pros: For $450, this laptop is FAST. Vista Ratings: CPU: 4.7 (5.8 in Vista x64!) RAM: 5.9 HDD: 5.8 The cardreader reads SDHC cards. Plays 720p H.264 video flawlessly.

Cons: Graphics: 3.2 Gaming : 3.0 None of the connections are on the back--having all of them on the front and sides is a little bit awkward, especially if you need to use firewire.

Overall Review: The drivers on Acer's site are outdated. If you're going to format it, burn the system restore DVD's (2) and write down all of the driver version numbers first. I was down to either this one or an Eee PC with XP.
