Kingston 4GB microSDHC Flash Card Model SDC4/4GB

Pros: speed is good all considered, price is great, and you cant go wrong with kingston. use it for music and other media. works great streaming the songs on my cell. a gotta have for most cell phones today.

Cons: you could lose this thing in a hurry, i droped it and it took me 10 min to find it under my desk chair, it's super small.

Overall Review: great card and the adapter is nice for camera.

Most Critical Review

im a bit dissapointed

HTC 8925 Tilt 3G / UMTS AT&T Authorized SmartPhone
HTC 8925 Tilt 3G / UMTS AT&T Authorized SmartPhone

Pros: this thing is really cool, i used to own a 8125 and this blows it away. new camera is great (3MP), video capture is better than old versions, lay out of front controls are great. online video thing is great, i like. screen and graphics have improved. processor is much more powerful than the previous models. smaller and fits easier in my pocket and will actually fit under my motorcycle seat. 3G support is wonderful too especially for using the internet, it is blazing fast seriously almost as fast as 512Mb/s DSL. i've had 256Mb/s DSL and the 3G support was faster. it's also kinda nice that u can hook this up to a vista laptop and use it as a wireless modem.

Cons: over the past 4 months i've been trying to work out if the pros out weigh the cons. the camera has good quality, but indoors under florescent light this camera is horrible, it has like a 4 fps refresh rate, or something worse. while using Microsoft Live this thing will crash after it falls asleep and the only way to bring it back is to aether take the battery out or to take the sim card out then turn it back on. as i said the processor it better than the previous models, but under load like using media player and txting it just bogs down. under this load things will get glitchy, such as when im txting and using media player the txting will get glitchy and half of the screen will freeze up. it doesn't keep it from functioning it's just extremely annoying to me. the phone is very glitchy over all the are many other instances that it will glitch up like this. o and the keyboard slides out on the wrong side. all the other models opened on the other side, but i've gotten used to it.

Overall Review: it's a good phone. i really do like this phone, but now i almost wish i would of gotten an iphone, well i dont know about that, i like my phone. HTC made a great phone, but they could of done better. they no doubly saw what apple did and they could have done it better. i love HTC and the phones that they make, but i wish they would of put more into this one, they could have stole apple's market base from them with this phone if they would have just done it better. if the next phone is this disappointing compared to the competitors i will buy the other phone over HTC's. i love their phones but i gotta say this one is a bit under done.

Amazing card that actually fits in my HTPC

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 04G-P4-1982-KR 4GB SC GAMING, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 04G-P4-1982-KR 4GB SC GAMING, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: Installed this in my new HTPC build paired with i7 4790k and 16GB of RAM and this thing is blazing! Every game, movie,and resolution I throw at it is handled with ease. I'm not 4K gaming on ultra settings or anything, but full 1080P there is nothing this card can't do. I'm shocked at how cool this card will stay with a custom fan map.

Cons: Without the map the card runs hot in my Cooler Master Elite 130, but this may just be a form factor issue. Once I installed the map the problem went away. I didn't dock an egg as any self respecting gamer should be able to tweak these things.

Overall Review: Cost should be considered when buying this card, but if you want the ultimate in performance it comes at a cost.

Great PSU for ITX build

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GS 220-GS-0850-V1 80+ GOLD 850W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GS 220-GS-0850-V1 80+ GOLD 850W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Installed in a Cooler Master Elite 130 case. It fits well with a disk drive and is exactly what I needed. It powers the i7 4790k and gtx 980 without issue. Stays cool also.

Cons: I've not been able to find a fault in it yet.

Overall Review: If your looking for a full modular PSU for a reasonable price and great great warranty you'd be hard pressed to find better.

GSOD is hardware related, and crysis runs great!

XFX HD-587A-ZNF9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity
XFX HD-587A-ZNF9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity

Pros: lots of pros! card is blazing! I play games in eyefinity and this think plays all my games on high with AA @ 5040x1050... need I say more lol (of course!) I benchmarked crysis warhead (frost) and it ran a respectable Framerate [ Min: 10.53 Max: 21.39 Avg: 18.60 ] on enthusiast at 5040x1050. Runs the BFBC2 beta at 50-60 FPS with all eye candy. when crossfire eyefinity comes out i will be buying another one, no questions asked. this is a must buy card for serious pc gamers!

Cons: well... 1st card i got worked but crashed after 10min of 2d of 3d use. RMA'd it with newegg after consulting the manufacturer about it. got second 1 FAST!! 2nd one still crashed in 2d, but not 3d. PowerPlay was the issue here. changed the idle core speed to 400MHz and mem to 900MHz... NOW ZERO PROBLEMS!!! also for eyefinity you haft to have 1 displayport monitor or an adapter... lucky I already had 2 lol.

Overall Review: never been an ATI or Nvidia fan boy, always went with the best technology offered at the time, let me tell u ATI got a winner here. Still sadly not an ATI fanboy... just here till someone makes something better =D Specs: i7 920 3.33GHz 6GB DDR3 corsiar dominator P6T deluxe XFX 5870 1GB WD 10k velociraptor 3x 21.5" monitors

nice case, just cost too much

SilverStone Temjin Series TJ09-BW Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
SilverStone Temjin Series TJ09-BW Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: no sharp edges in main areas of the case, great cooling, very quiet. has option to buy mounting brackets for Radiator to be installed in top of case. motherboard tray comes out. Has enough room to run wires behind mobo

Cons: cost way too much for what you get. it only comes with 2 fans... for 250-300 I would of liked to seen more fans instead of having to shell out more for my own.

Overall Review: love it, looks great with my liquid cooling in it and my green led lights
