Most Favorable Review

An expensive, but excellent product

CORSAIR 8GB Flash Survivor GT Ultra Fast & Rugged USB 2.0 Drive Model CMFUSBSRVR-8GBGT
CORSAIR 8GB Flash Survivor GT Ultra Fast & Rugged USB 2.0 Drive Model CMFUSBSRVR-8GBGT

Pros: -Fast (Off the top of my head, I got about 20 MB/S write, 26 MB/S read from a simple copy+paste of several 100+MB files on Windows XP) -Size is as advertised -Certainly looks durable, though I don't plan on testing this (on purpose at least)

Cons: -Expensive

Overall Review: Only buy this product if you need fast, large, durable USB drive. If you don't need speed, don't get GT. If you don't need durability, don't get Survivor. If you don't need either, get a normal 8GB USB drive. Unless, of course, you have money to burn. I got this product so that I could install Linux on it and carry it with me to all of my different classes. I wanted a durable drive so that I wouldn't break it by being careless with it, and a needed a fast drive so that I could run an OS off of it. So this product was a perfect choice for me. I can hardly tell that the OS is running off of a USB drive instead of a hard drive.

Pros: -Cheap -More comfortable than a metal folding chair

Cons: -Cheap -Pre-drilled holes did not line up easily. -Arms could do with a bit more padding

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I was previously using $16 folding chairs with pads, that would inevitably collapse with regular use after 4-6 months. I bought this chair because I don't need anything fancy - I just need something that works. This chair works. We'll see how it stands up to the test of time.

Pros: - Biiiiiiiiig. This case is larger than your standard full tower by quite a bit. - Lots of mounting options for radiators. - Light construction makes the case surprisingly light.

Cons: - Expensive. - As others have mentioned, this case has relatively poor airflow. You need more than just the 4 fans that come with the case. - The case is so large that it is difficult for all of your cables to reach their intended locations. Consider buying extension cables for your PSU and fans. - Light construction makes some of the parts seem flimsy and won't take a lot of weight. Be careful what you lean on when installing parts. The motherboard tray would flex a bit when I was installing my RAM.

Overall Review: Though I am completely satisfied with this case, it is NOT for your average user, or even your average enthusiast. Don't buy this case if you are looking for bang for buck. Buy this case if you are looking to dump an obscene amount of money into an overcomplicated water cooling setup.

An excellent product

Pros: *No dead pixels*. Very happy about that. Clear, sharp picture. Has a few extra presets for brightness, contrast, color and etc which are pretty nice.

Cons: None so far.
