Most Critical Review

Good HW, Useless SW

KGuard TV-KW-SEC400A 4 Port Digital Security System
KGuard TV-KW-SEC400A 4 Port Digital Security System

Pros: HW has worked just fine. Autosense in WinXP, Worked just fine with Open, generic drivers as well.

Cons: Software is not only useless, it is a joke. A lot of buttons are added just to make it look like it has some feature, but it is just a demo. Can get this to work on the local PC, but remotely the functionality is a joke. Had to set the PC up to reboot all the time as this crashed frequently as well. If you want to monitor your summerhouse remotely, you will definitely need a person locally to support this like rebooting etc.(And I am an EE, and write Software for a living)

Overall Review: Include some basic *reliable* software, and dont try to add a million features that dont work anyway.

Crashes all the time

GIGABYTE GA-H55-USB3 LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-H55-USB3 LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Colorful motherboard. Fast when it works.

Cons: This board has some serious problems. 1. The screen frequently freezes, then goes black, and when it returns 30 seconds later, it reports that the graphics driver crashed, and was restarted. 2. The screen freezes, then goes black, and within 30 seconds gives blue dump screen. Sometimes it goes a few minutes before crash, sometimes as much as 30 minutes. It looks like video like VLC, youtube or any other video i particular will cause the driver to crash, but it will crash without video as well. I have installed all video drivers from the CD, from your web page, directly from Intel etc etc I have underclocked, undervoltaged, overvoltaged, default setting and any other thinkable BIOS setting combination Can anyone please show me a graphics driver for this board that does not crash every hour

Broken on-off button

Rosewill RX-DU101 Plastic 2.5" & 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 Docking Station
Rosewill RX-DU101 Plastic 2.5" & 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 Docking Station

Pros: Great price, great functionality, good high friction feet

Cons: Ordered two. One came with a non-working on-off button, as many others have commented. Replaced by newegg with no hassles, so still 4 eggs.

Overall Review: Newegg, please spend $0.05 on a better button to nod junk the whold docking station.

Fast and cheap

Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.53 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80571E7200
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 - Core 2 Duo Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.53 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80571E7200

Pros: Overclocks easily to 3.4GHz with standard cooling fan and standard voltage. At 3.5GHz the memory starts to mess up even at 2.1V.

Cons: the limited clock multipliers forces you to overclock the whole board to speed up the CPU.

Cools great, but only CPU

Rosewill RCX-Z3 92mm Ball CPU Cooler
Rosewill RCX-Z3 92mm Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Cools a core 2 duo overclocked to 3.5GHz whisper quiet.

Cons: Only cools the CPU. The intel stock cooler also blows air on other chips on the motherboard. This does not. You will need another fan for that.
