Great HDD
Pros: 750GB for a good price. Used it on my Dell Dimension E521 to clean install Windows 7. This HDD stays very cool. SpeedFan reads it at around 93F. The older, 250GB HDD I had in it reads at 111F. Western Digital, you can't go wrong.
Cons: Why is capacity calculated in powers of 10 instead of powers of 2? The real calculated capacity is roughly 700GB. This is a very common practice. I have no idea why this is so common.
Overall Review: None.
It's a piece of plastic!
Pros: It's from Nintendo.
Cons: There is nothing electronic going on in this accessory! I'm paying money to have the feel of a steering wheel? It's a gimmick! Sorry, I'll stick with more traditional control schemes, such as the GameCube or Classic Controller, where permitted.
Overall Review: I've been a fan of Nintendo for years. I've seen mostly good ideas and sometimes bad ideas. This was just a waste of plastic; a bad idea.
Works Fine
Pros: It's a basic keyboard with a few extra buttons for volume control, opening up convenient programs (like calculator), and pausing media players. The backlit keys and large print are a nice touch.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I bought this for my mother for Christmas to replace her other keyboard with faltering volume control buttons. Unintentionally, she thought it was a joke that I bought this keyboard because the letters were big to make it easier for her eyesight and age. She hadn't seen anything like it before (even I haven't). I've only used stock keyboards. At the time, this was the only reasonably priced keyboard with the features I was looking for that also had decent reviews. I wasn't looking for something fancy. Just something with volume control. This option worked the best.
It Works
Pros: It works fine. It's no wireless router but for wired, it works. Had it for years without problems.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I have BEFSR41 V3.
It Works
Pros: I've had this router for years with no issues what-so-ever. It's great for home use. I used to use it with my AT&T modem. Now I use it within a very close range for my 3DS, Wii, and Wii U by disabling the DHCP server for this router so it will be a "slave" to my Comcast modem/router. The Comcast modem's signal is significantly weakened when it reaches my gaming devices. I wired the WRT54G properly to the Comcast modem.
Cons: I don't know how to use this router to extend the signal range of my Comcast modem, which means two SSIDs are broadcasting; Comcast and the WRT54G. I don't care because the mode I have it in isn't broken. Why fix what isn't broken?
Overall Review: I own version 8 of this WRT54G.
Works
Pros: I bought one of these things because I hook up my computer and Wii U to my TV that only has one HDMI-in port. Why my computer is hooked up to my TV is because I like watching movies of any format (DVD, Blu-ray, etc.), YouTube videos, downloaded/created video formats (*.avi, *.wmv, *.mp4, etc.) and play computer games compatible with the Xbox 360 controller for a console-like experience. That's two HDMI cables to hook up so why did I buy a 3-in-1? Simple! Prepare ahead of time for any new devices I may hook up through HDMI. For my computer configuration why I am having it hooked up to my TV, here are the parts I bought using Newegg's item IDs for quick look-up: N82E16812200584, N82E16827136250, and N82E16814500255. It does not require a power source other than the one supplied by the HDMI standard! I hate switches that need a power source. I used to have to worry about that with composite video because I hooked up 4-5 game consoles with that method.
Cons: The switch is automatic based on new or lost signals. Good side is that you can override it with the button on the hub of this switch.
Overall Review: N/A.
