LaView LV-KN988P86A4 Premium IP Surveillance System 8 Channel NVR + 6 x Full HD 1080P Day / Night In / Outdoor Cameras (No HDD Included, Sold Separately)
LaView LV-KN988P86A4 Premium IP Surveillance System 8 Channel NVR + 6 x Full HD 1080P Day / Night In / Outdoor Cameras (No HDD Included, Sold Separately)

Pros: Plenty of cord for camera's, decent camera's, simple setup and hard drive installation.

Cons: Ah I had some issues trying to get all 6 camera's to display Hd streams simultaneously. It has something called "main stream" and "sub stream" feeds that each camera can stream. The problem is that if you max out the quality and resolution of all 6 camera's the recorder hits a bandwidth limit that does not allow live view or recording at maximum resolution. So I found I had to lower all 6 camera's to 1 setting below maximum quality ie: 4096kb/s vs 8000kb/s. Then it seems to run all 6 at decent quality. Also the only way I could tell what stream the camera's were using was thru the internet interface, not thru the software of the dvr...

Overall Review: Also the ip cable comes with little weather protectors for the connections at the camera's but from what I could tell their useless unless you cut one end off to feed it thru the hole. I guess if you had the tool and connectors to replace one end then this would be useful, but if not the connections are left open to the elements...

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GV-R929OC-4GD
GIGABYTE Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GV-R929OC-4GD

Pros: Runs most games maxed out, tends to out perform my 8350 @4.6 with 16g, 1866 memory. I think if I had a better cpu than this card would really shine.

Cons: Loud fans and makes a lot of heat, don't bother with cards like this if you don't have a lot of air moving thru the case.

Overall Review: First one died after 8 hours, second rcard has been running fine. I due tend to get odd and random like artifacts or glitches while gaming. Not sure if its hardware related or software but it does detract from your confidence that its not going to crash mid game. Seems to keep on working most time, I think the key is keeping the temps below 90, above that your asking for trouble.

Waste of money

Pros: Easy access?

Cons: Pointless value, wait for a steam sale and this card is worth 18.95... Just saying

Um... Its good!

Magic Wand HV260 Personal Massager

Pros: Jam this between your bits and cover your ears! It'll make her a screamer if she wasn't already... And it's ok for massages too.;)

Cons: Only 2 speeds, and a 25min operating time I suspect due to heat build up. Also don't wrap the cord around the wand cause it will wreck the cord eventually. Also you'll probably need an extension cord...

Overall Review: Overall great buy, makes bum rubs much more bearable...

Using for HD Home Security

WD Purple 1TB Surveillance Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch WD10PURX
WD Purple 1TB Surveillance Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch WD10PURX

Pros: It seems to be handling the 24hr recording and continuous over writing of my HD Security system. I'm recording 3 HD camera's 24/7 and 3 other HD cameras when motion activated. Been nearly a month without a problem. Great product thus far.

Cons: None thus far, price is ok for 1tb.

Overall Review: 1 tb hard drive seems to record 3 1080p@30/fps for about a week before it starts to overwrite.

Works good

Logitech G27 (941-000045) Racing Wheel
Logitech G27 (941-000045) Racing Wheel

Pros: Everything works pretty good, feels solid, fairly responsive. Feed back is good and strong, only thing is the wheel spin speed of the feedback is slower than some other wheels. Barely notice in the heat of a race though. Used it with the rift dk1 as well, that's shotty and amazing at the same time, feels crazy and looks terrible = vomiting after 20 min.

Cons: to slow of a wheel spin speed, you cant really whip it around that fast, I've seen other more expensive belt driven wheels spin with less risistance and faster responses. But it does the job just fine
