MOTOROLA SB6120 Cable Modem SURFboard eXtreme 160Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 195Mbps in EuroDOCSIS mode Ethernet Port DOCSIS 3.0
MOTOROLA SB6120 Cable Modem SURFboard eXtreme 160Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 195Mbps in EuroDOCSIS mode Ethernet Port DOCSIS 3.0

Pros: Best speedtest with Comcast powerboost has been 78 megs. I have a 20/4 package and I consistantly get 35/5. Latency isn't there and after changing out my splitter from a 2ghz to a 1 ghz and grounding the splitter I have not had a single error in 36 hours, and I've been watching.

Cons: Comcast isn't bonding upstream where I am yet.

Overall Review: I'm not sure about DOCSIS 2.0 but DOCSIS 3.0 uses ATDMA for the upstream, eliminating collisions and bringing about a more consistant ping time. COMCAST is awsome in the douglasville area.

Most Critical Review

Avoid using ps2 keyboard

IOGEAR GCS942UW6 Hybrid DVI-D KVM with Cables and Audio
IOGEAR GCS942UW6 Hybrid DVI-D KVM with Cables and Audio

Pros: DVI was my main concern and it works

Cons: First one was DOA, I RMA'd with the manufacturer (mistake) and it took about 6 weeks to get it back sometimes it would switch sometimes it wouldn't So now I have to buy a usb keyboard and hope it works

Overall Review: I'm going to ype a message to you and ou can dciede how well this keyboard works now by observing the amount of characters omitted. I promise you I'm typing all of the letters but not all of them ae maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mking it to thesreen oh yeah and sometimes it choses a button and holdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss it until you type in anther button i wear I didn't do that on purpose

It works ...

HDMI to VGA, Gold-Plated HDMI to VGA Adapter (Male to Female) for Computer, Desktop, Laptop, PC, Monitor, Projector, HDTV, Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, Roku, Xbox and More - Black

Pros: It serves its purpose

Cons: Since I have to switch inputs on my Monitor as a poor mans KVM , I notice that this port is very dark, much darker than any adapter I've ever used and when I switch to another PC via the monitor, it's much brighter and I have to deal with an overly dim monitor on one input vs an overly saturated monitor on another, ( I actually moved this over to another monitor to read) And this is the flimsy Shanghai plastic we've all come to know and fear from imported products

Overall Review: I think that maybe you could use this if you're not switching between PCs like I am, My Monitor can make this port look okay. It's just resisting a lot of signal. So you can make this work for your needs, maybe. For me this is a "gateway-drug" to make me fork up the $$ for a proper KVM to go display-port end-to-end.

Ideal for Varidesk

Dual Monitor Stand, Premium Articulating Gas Spring Monitor Mount w/USB for 15 to 35 in Computer Screen Within 4.4lbs to 26.4lbs, Aluminum Dual Monitor Arm VESA Bracket with C Clamp, Grommet Base

Pros: Easy to setup Gas adjustments worked great for my Monitors Sturdy feel despite "shaky" desk The most aesthetically pleasing USB ports, I know , what the heck does that mean. The USB ports are just mounted USB extensions, and they have the most solid feel to them since the entire rig is mounted. I didn't know I cared but this was the most unique thing about this product. I also didn't know that the cable covers would be so necessary but now that I think about it, moving monitors around would have been a pain if I had t velcro or zip-tie

Overall Review: I got two sets, didn't know I need this so much but I'll never build another desk without them. Frees up the entire desk , you can just "shew" the monitors away if you want to read a book and put them right back where you want them and the stay put. I understand the meaning of "floating" monitors now.

Pros: Worked immediately with Nintendo switch, did not test with any other device.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Installed no drivers , just worked. Best compliment I can give.

Sounds Beautiful until it breaks ... twice

Turtle Beach EarForce DPX21 PS3 Headset + 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound
Turtle Beach EarForce DPX21 PS3 Headset + 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound

Pros: Sounds Beautiful, you'll appreciate Music a lot more because of headphones like these. Surround Sound never really stood out for me but I only have a 5.1 card and that's all the signal the headphones got. And very comfortable, you could live in these things.

Cons: My first pair broke after 3 months, I paid to have them shipped to turtle beach and they sent me a brand new headset and I was out a week. Very nice people. About 1 year later they broke again but warranty was out. Both times the left side stopped working.

Overall Review: The Entire reason I spent so much money was because I was tired of buying headsets every 2-3 years. This headset did not last as long as my $15 headset.
