Most Favorable Review

Excellent value!

Crucial MX100 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT512MX100SSD1
Crucial MX100 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT512MX100SSD1

Pros: * Extremely competitive price! * Same controller chip as their M550 premium drives. * Lowest power usage of any other MLC type drive. * Excellent performance. * Long life span. * The MX100 SSD's have started a pricing war acrss the industry which will benefit customers.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: My boot times in Windows 8.1 are about 6-7 seconds on average, but sometimes as low as 3 seconds. Load time in games are almost nonexistent. Now that I've seen the promised land, I'll never go back!

I wasn't thrilled.

1" Low with Peep Sight Weaver Style Ring
1" Low with Peep Sight Weaver Style Ring

Pros: Price?

Cons: Cheap enough, but your local department store will probably have scope ring that are better for only a dollar more. Use lock-tite on this one, because these rings come loose quickly.

Overall Review: Honestly, Barska scopes are fine, but buy your rings elsewhere (I recommend weaver brand for price and quality).

It's a Logitech! enough said.

Designed for AM4?

GeIL EVO POTENZA AMD 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model GAPR416GB2400C16DC
GeIL EVO POTENZA AMD 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model GAPR416GB2400C16DC

Pros: These memory chips will run stable with AM4 motherboards - When those awful, high-rise heatsinks don't completely get in the way of aftermarket CPU coolers.

Cons: It's a pity that the folks at GeIL didn't finish doing their homework when designing this module. I would have given it five stars, except that they insisted on putting those ridiculous "High-rise" heatsinks on their memory sticks. Some Ryzen processors don't come with a "Wraith Spire" cooler, so an aftermarket cooler must be purchased separately. Unfortunately, those high-rise heatsinks (on memory they actually do nothing at all) stand up too high and prevent the installation of most of the heat-pipe type aftermarket CPU coolers. Flush mounted heatsinks would have made these modules much more AMD friendly!

Overall Review: Update: Due to the nature of new platforms, I would highly advise going to your motherboard manufacturer's website and use their QVL list to choose your RAM memory from. The memory on these lists are highly tested and this will guarantee the stability of your system, and is key to success with with this new AM4 platform.

You gotta have one of these!

Cold Steel Cutlass Machete 97DRMS
Cold Steel Cutlass Machete 97DRMS

Pros: Solid construction, and comfortable grip. I appreciate the fact that the hand guard has a metal liner to better protect the hand. 24" blade length makes this machete useful ...for a lot of things. The blade is quite thick for a machete, so there's plenty of heft to the blade. It feels much like a real saber/cutlass. The blade is also convex ground by hand. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving en of one of these!

Cons: Mind you, this is a machete, so it is intended as a beater. Although it is made very durable, the fit and finish of the actual blade is hit or miss. The blade is sharp, but could use some deburing. The hand sharpening is also done quick and dirty, so the curvature of the cutting edge sometimes has flat spots where too much grinding was done (Mine cleaned up OK though). The back of the blade as well as the point clip is quite rough, so some file work may be desirable.

Overall Review: There are some websites/vendors that will clean up the blade and improve the grind for an additional fee. For mine the cleanup was a bit of work, but it was worth it. The steel quality and heat treatment is quite good, however. A better finish would have given it 5 stars easily; Still, is is worth the price.

A good, reliable scope.

Barska AC10032 Huntmaster Riflescope
Barska AC10032 Huntmaster Riflescope

Pros: Solidly made, and works well. I mounted this scope on my .270 Win caliber rifle (heavy recoil), and it worked just fine. Be sure to get good weaver rings (not the Barska ones). I would recommend this product to a friend.

Cons: The power of this scope is 3 - 9x, and all setting were clear, however, at 9x things just barely start to loose focus. It wasn't all that noticeable, and I shot all day at this setting no problem. Just thought I would mention it.

Overall Review: Solid budget scope for the money, however, if you're going to shoot more than 100 to 150 yards, I would recommend buying a scope with stronger magnification.

Overall good transaction.

The shipping wasn't as speedy as I had hoped (Hey, if it were actually Newegg.com doing the transaction, things would be different), but the item arrived in reasonable time (about a week). Items I've purchased from Barska were of good quality, and I am perfectly satisfied.
