Not a Bad Buy

WD My Book Premium 320GB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG1C3200N
WD My Book Premium 320GB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG1C3200N

Pros: Pretty much all of the features including its capacity. Looks good and fits where I want it to. Converted to NTFS in about a minute.

Cons: The firewire is 6 to 6 pin and my laptop has a 4 pin (data only, nonpowered) port. I'm not sure if an adapter or a different cord will work.

Overall Review: Newegg got it to me pretty quick. I'm happy that it's Western Digital. It does have a strong low hum to it, almost like a fridge or something. Overall, I'm pretty happy about the purchase.

Most Critical Review

Lots of features, not a lot of qaulity.

diabloTek 1.8" Black 1GB MP3 / MP4 Player YT263BK1G
diabloTek 1.8" Black 1GB MP3 / MP4 Player YT263BK1G

Pros: FM tuner, 1gb, and ion battery was what I like and need. The amv videos, e-book, voice recorder and other features are ok too.

Cons: Right now, can't get it to start up. It just continually resets itself. It's cheap overall, easy to see ported from China without much care. It's slow. Changing songs is cumbersome. The menu button is in a weird spot and they should have just made the play button select things. AMV videos are not really MP4 as we know it in the U.S. Little support on the site. Did I mention I can't get it to turn on after trying its wall charger? I can't recover firmware or anything because of this.

Overall Review: I was going to give this to my sister as a birthday present because it would be great for her. An expensive IPod would be a liability and so this small cheap player hits the mark. I was going to load it up with music, ut who knows if I'll be able to fix it somehow (reset combo menu+play like IPod has). Still, this player is so cheap that you can't really expect it to be perfect. If it starts working for more than one day that is.

another DOA

Pros: Should have payed attention to neweggs replace only policy on this. Hope you like shipping things back to them :/

Cons: Did not charge. The battery would warm up, but completely DOA. previous serial numbers have the same issue according the Klipsch support website.

Great deal for the price

Seiki 39" (38.5" Diagonal Screen) 1080P 60Hz LED HDTV - SE391TS
Seiki 39" (38.5" Diagonal Screen) 1080P 60Hz LED HDTV - SE391TS

Pros: 39" led shipped in 2 days. The rating is mostly based on price. For this quality, the tv is worth more. Not a ton more , but it's a great deal.

Cons: You get what you pay for. The tv speakers can't be disabled, only surround sound in the settings can be enable to use external speakers which are a must for this tv (I've had them for a couple years, but the speakers cost as much as the tv lol) My external speakers have they're own volume, so I turn them up and use the tv volume to manage levels. I use the music preset, and had to change some of the picture settings. Also, this purchase gives me mixed feelings about my 29" new led with great sound that cost the same price.

Overall Review: I may have a problem buying things I don't necessarily need. But my 6 year old 32" wasn't working in the living room. So I can justify this just by it's incredibly low cost with a promo code.

Great grips - pricey

CRIMSON TRACE CORPORATION LG-426 CTC LASERGRIP SIG P226
CRIMSON TRACE CORPORATION LG-426 CTC LASERGRIP SIG P226

Pros: Good grips, nice to have a laser. Install is easy and just takes a couple watch batteries you can find at radio shack.

Cons: It can be distracting at times. The grips themselves seem like they could be produced pretty cheaply. Specialty items...

Overall Review: Don't forget to remove them before cleaning.

Good features

ASRock Z77 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Lots of neat features. xfast ram lets you use extra RAM for temp files. Great for a SSD drive. Also, Intel drivers have made my Vertex 4 pretty quick.

Cons: Not too many for a value board. Could be built a little thicker/sturdier. 2 SATA 6GB works for me but may not for others.

Overall Review: I got mine in a bundle.
