Very Nice Case

Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Case and red LED's are attractive, the external I/O ports are convenient. Being able to turn of the LED's with the touch of a button is a nice feature if you find lights to be annoying at times. Screwless bays and expansion card slots. Handle on top makes carrying easier, since it is not a light case. Great price.

Cons: While I like the sideways HDD bays, and screwless, slide-in/snap-in design I ran into one problem. With the port side of the SATA HDD's facing towards the outside case panel, I found that I could not even close case panel with a normal straight-end SATA cable sticking out of the ports. I had to use an "L" shaped end instead. If like me you don't have enough "L"shaped SATA cables then your other alternative is to flip the HDD around backwards with the ports facing the other panel on the back. If you take off the back panel you can reach the ports easily and there is enough room to close the panel. Does not take away an egg from the score, but certainly something to consider when considering installation.

Overall Review: One of the better cases I have ever dealt with. The screwless designs are often mediocre, this one seems to work better. Time will tell if the plastic will hold up.

Decent Basic Bluetooth Headset

Pros: Simple, easy to use. Comes through clear, and don't need to yell. Good price.

Cons: Lack of ability to call someone with your voice, although I wonder if that's just something I need to set up on the phone end, not the headset.

Ultimate Protection!

Pros: Completely protects phone and its ports. I had a disposable screen protector as well as the case on and it did not negatively affect touching the screen which I was pleasantly surprised by. Buttons are all easy to get to, but require a little more effort to push due to the silicone cover.

Cons: Bulky, due to plastic case AND silicone over the plastic case. Still fits in my pocket just fine. Not waterproof. Can't fault them for it though, because it doesn't claim to be slim or waterproof.

Overall Review: My last holster broke after it got caught on a doorway, I had it for 2 weeks. I bought this one hoping it would be sturdier. It looks like the same design. We'll see how it long it lasts.

Average

LevelOne WUA-0605 Wireless N 300Mbps USB Adapter w/WPS button
LevelOne WUA-0605 Wireless N 300Mbps USB Adapter w/WPS button

Pros: It works. Gets up to 48Mbps on my aging Linksys Router(WRT54G). Connects about 30 feet away and through two walls with 4 out of 5 bars.

Cons: Seems to drop from 48Mbps to 24Mbps fairly often.
