Not so fast...

Rosewill RNX-N180UB, Wireless N300 Wi-Fi Adapter, IEEE 802.11b/11g/11n, (2T2R) Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates, USB 2.0 Interface, WPS supported
Rosewill RNX-N180UB, Wireless N300 Wi-Fi Adapter, IEEE 802.11b/11g/11n, (2T2R) Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates, USB 2.0 Interface, WPS supported

Pros: I bought this after I upgraded my wireless router from an old Airlink101 MIMO G (54 mbps) to a NETGEAR WNDR3300-100NAR Draft N with dd-WRT firmware. The laptop I'm using was already connecting to the new router at 100~130 mbps and I was hoping to boost that speed a little more since the new router and the Rosewill are both rated at upto 300 mbps. After install, the Rosewill utility said I was RX/TX at 130mbps/65mbps. In other words, pretty much the same speed. Oh well, at $9.99 shipped, maybe I'll use it on the kids PC with a 11 mbps wireless.

Cons: Nothing yet.

Amazing value!

LG In-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset Bulk (HBM-520)
LG In-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset Bulk (HBM-520)

Pros: Easy to connect, great range, great sound quality, inexpensive, what's not to love? I liked it so much, I ordered another one. After the initial mating of the BT, it mates automatically every time now. The first BT headsets I've had were so bad, I ended up throwing them away, This one, people have told me they didn't even know I was using a headset. I'm also hard of hearing, but this headset is almost loud enough which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Cons: The power button is awkwardly placed so that it's easy to touch while adjusting the HS in the ear or the volume. The volume could also be higher. As someone who is hard of hearing, I don't like to wear my hearing aids when I drive so it would help if the HS could be adjusted a little louder.

Overall Review: For $12.99 shipped, I LOVE it!

Cheap and it shows

SONIC HP-259 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset
SONIC HP-259 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset

Pros: They certainly were cheap.

Cons: They are so cheap in fact, they lasted about a year before I lost audio on one side and now they stopped working altogether.

Overall Review: Shoulda paid a little more and bought a set of quality headphones. Now I get to buy another set.

Can't beat the price but...

Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Coming from a 160 GB HD, this is great! Also, the drive is really quiet and I'm using it as an external drive.

Cons: I'm using the HD in an external vertical enclosure as I don't have a SATA connector in my old Dell. I'm using it with a USB 2.0 cable but for whatever reason, (Win XP Pro) keeps losing the HD right in the middle of copying files. It also does this randomly so I can't use the drive as a main data drive. I don't think this is the HD's fault, but since this is my first SATA HD, I just don't know. :(
