Most Favorable Review

Interesting Sweetness In My Ears

Xtatix Pocket Candy Zest Silver 1GB MP3 Player
Xtatix Pocket Candy Zest Silver 1GB MP3 Player

Pros: Surprisingly good sound quality, lightweight, inexpensive, large capacity, drag and drop files like any flash drive

Cons: Item was missing the manual, the armband, the software, and the battery. These are listed on the manufacturer's page link that NE lists.

Overall Review: It is what is - high tech in lightweight plastic. If it breaks, I'll get another one for sure.

Most Critical Review

Might Work For Someone Else

SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub
SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub

Pros: Lightweight, inexpensive

Cons: No AC adapter, and is unusable with more than one device on bus power alone.

Overall Review: Must be used internally in a desktop PC, OR have an available PS/2 kb/m port. Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have one, it is straight USB.

Amazingly Stable!

Intel Pentium 4 650 - Pentium 4 Prescott Single-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 775 84W Processor - BX80547PG3400F
Intel Pentium 4 650 - Pentium 4 Prescott Single-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 775 84W Processor - BX80547PG3400F

Pros: Amazingly stable, able to burn DVDs while playing Battlefield2142 in the foreground without a hitch. Great warranty, and the Intel site has tons of free and useful utilities. Idles at 34C, full flat out load temp is at 41C. A great buy for the money!

Cons: None after 2 months!

Overall Review: The stock cooler is fine, but I removed Intel's thermal tape and applied a dab of Arctic Silver 5 instead, and got a 4-6C drop in temps.

Great Buy!

PQI Mr Flash U172 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model BB55-B2G2-0221
PQI Mr Flash U172 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model BB55-B2G2-0221

Pros: This is my 3rd PQI drive. The only reason that it is my 3rd one, is that my wife took my 512 MB, and a coworker fell in lust with my 1GB. No issues, and they have even survived a round through the washing machine and worked fine after that. Great buy for the $.

Cons: NONE :)

Love It!

PQI Mr. Flash U172 (SILVER) 512MB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model BB55-B123-0221

Pros: Solidly constructed, durable, low price, fast shipping from the egg!

Cons: The writing on the case wears off...not a big issue. For the probable cause of this, see below.

Overall Review: I actually left this one attached to my belt lanyard and it went through a full 40 minute wash/spin cycle. Waited 2 days, then plugged it in, it STILL WORKS!!!! Saved from my own absentmindedness.

Pros: Built in RAID, tons of SATA drive connectors, (6!) USB 2.0 ports, 7.1 sound,customizeable POST boot screen, mindlessly simple overclocking, great utility software monitoring/mod utiliies included...what more could you ask for?

Cons: None Whatsoever! Woohoo!!

Overall Review: A fantastic way to put DDR1 to use and keep it current. This board does it all!
