Most Favorable Review
Belkin F3U134-06 Black USB Extension Cable

Comments: I bought this so I could use a certain flash card reader that only has a 3 inch USB cable. Works great.

Most Critical Review

Targus refuses to honor warranty

Targus ACH63US Super Mini USB 2.0 4-Port Hub
Targus ACH63US Super Mini USB 2.0 4-Port Hub

Pros: Small size

Cons: Item arrived DOA, Targus has refused to honor the warranty for free, and has requested that I pay for shipping and handling to send the item back. If I could rate this even lower than 1 of 5, I would.

Overall Review: Items are shipped DOA all the time, but never has a company asked that I pay for S&H to have them fixed. Do not buy from Targus!

Good mouse

Logitech G5 2-Tone 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse
Logitech G5 2-Tone 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse

Pros: The strongest feature of this mouse is the on-the-fly sensitivity changing built into the hardware. Although this card has no driver support on OSX and Linux, that feature works perfectly on both OSX and Linux. Also, the tilt-wheel feature and the side button work perfectly in Linux as well.

Cons: Some people do infact hate the fake rust look, but since I put functionality over look, I still rate this as high as possible

Overall Review: I do the majority of my gaming in Linux, and it is often hard to find a mouse that both functions well, and doesn't provide major functions through drivers. This mouse works 100% under Linux, using the standard USB HID drivers that come with Linux. Google for "Logitech G5 linux" for more information

One of the best AGP cards you can get

XFX GeForce 6800XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card PVT42KUDE3
XFX GeForce 6800XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card PVT42KUDE3

Pros: A high quality Nvidia 6xxx series card, well designed, well built. Since AGP is dying out, I would not recommend this for a new system, but for older systems that pre-date the PCIE switch over, it would be hard to find a better card that is still worth the price tag.

Cons: Effectively none, though some motherboards include IDE/SATA/whatever plugs too close to the AGP slot, which cards that use "swoop" design heatsink/fans like this card does _may_ block those plugs. This is a design error in the motherboard, not the card.

Overall Review: I recommend XFX products, although meant for the "extreme gamer" crowd who would overclock their toaster if they could do it, they are well built, well supported, and last a while.

Comments: I've owned several motherboards over the years, and this is the highest quality and most feature-filled board I've had.
