Using to connect MP3 player to older receiver
Pros: Works; good price; cord length is good.
Cons: Nothing
Overall Review: I used this cord to connect MP3 player headphone jack to RCA input jack on older receiver which has no AUX jack. Works fine!
Volume is not good
Pros: Compact, easy to use, good price.
Cons: Volume is low. Have to strain to hear audiobook when walking dog on lightly-trafficed suburban street. Used cheap Sony ear clip ear phones with very modest results. Purchased Sennheiser clip ear phones and volume isn't as good as the cheaper Sonys. Both ear phones work fine with other mp3 players. Clip+ simply isn't loud enough.
Overall Review: Yes, I have had a hearing test. It's not me.
High Quality, Functional,
Pros: My wife needed an articulating wall-mounted arm to suspend her monitor above her embroidery machine. This product is a great solution. She is very happy with the sturdy construction and flexible articulation. She can position her monitor wherever she needs it and can move it out of the way when it isn't needed.
Cons: Not really a con, but you need to plan you installation carefully. The arm articulates quite a bit but the location of the wall mounting hardware is still important. Make sure the arm will reach the location you need it to reach. Also, you really want to mount this arm to something solid like a stud in the wall.
Overall Review: I work in a hospital and Ergoton brand is used extensively in that setting. This is a high quality product that holds up well in a rigorous commercial environment. It should hold up well for whichever application you may have at home or in the workplace.
I enjoyed this game
Pros: This is a fun game to play. Nice graphics. I'm an old guy and it is simple enough for me to understand and play. Worked find on Win XP system. It was rewarding to complete. Will be fun to play again. Multiple approaches to solving many of the challenges in the game. Fun to drive vehicles.
Cons: Even at easiest levels, some sections of the game can be very difficult to successfully complete. Couldn't get it to work on my Win 7 system.
Overall Review: I don't play many 1st person shooters. I like Oblivion and Skyrim. Recently played Halo 1 for the first time and thought I would try this game based on good reviews. I liked it better than Halo 1 -- though both were fun. More variety in FarCry1. I am happy with my purchase
Upgraded from Antec 900
Pros: Have enjoyed my Antec 900 series 2 case for 4 years. Also have used Antec 900s for two other builds for family members. Developed CPU heat issues so I recently added Corsair 80 water cooler. Snug fit for Corsair 80 and the never-ending quest for something new drew me to Antec 1100 case. I was also evaluating HAF full tower. Found a great Black Friday deal so I bought the 1100. I am glad I did. Very roomy inside. Corsair cooler fits fine. Plenty of fan mounts (only 2 fans included, though). Bottom mount PSU screen is a nice touch though I didn't mount my PSU to take advantage of it. Nice front bezel filter. Sturdy steel construction. Nice black paint inside and out. Twin fan side window isn't particularly attractive but it is functional. Feet are pretty tall -- I guess to accommodate the bottom PSU filter; there is a cutout in case to ventilate back side of motherboard at CPU which is nice. Plenty of room for power cables behind motherboard (I used modular power supply which, of course, also helped). I like the fact the case exterior has no unnecessary "trays" or "niches" to collect dust. These features look cool but I like to keep my computer clean and I get tired of detailing the exterior. For what it's worth, I like the blue color scheme. There's a nice case fan power connection at top rear of case. I like the thumbscrews that are used to attach video and other cards. Easy enough to connect case front panel leads to motherboard.
Cons: Corsair 80 cooler made it a little tricky to plug in the case fan power connection at the top rear of the case. I added aftermarket fan filters to intake fans mounted on clear side panel and fan that cools backside of motherboard at CPU (Antec 900 had a nice filter for the clear side panel intake fan). Again, it's a clean thing -- blame my Polish mother. Owner's manual is pretty vague and online version isn't much better. A little common sense goes a long way, though.
Overall Review: Should have bought more than one at the Black Friday price of $56. I am still a fan of the Antec 900 and I will re-purpose the case.
Decent Scope for the Money
Pros: Very good value for the money ($60 incl shipping). Best price I found by at least $20. Wanted a low-price spotting scope for occasional target shooting and varmint hunting. I'm not doing anything highly important or technical with it (e.g. low light) -- just the basics. This one fits the bill. Nice scope.
Cons: The tripod is functional but very basic and not refined.
Overall Review: Very happy with purchase and Newegg responsiveness was excellent as always.
