Great Burner

LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM SATA 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu Ray 3D Feature IHBS112-04
LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM SATA 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu Ray 3D Feature IHBS112-04

Pros: I love it. This thing works great and installed easy. I took out my DVD burner and plugged this in and Windows 7 64bit found it and it started working. I'm was using Nero 10 before the upgrade and it recognized the BluRay burner with no effort on my part. It just added the extra selection choice for BD. I've only burned about three discs so far but they have all been flawless.

Cons: Takes forever to find 25GB worth of data to fill a disc lol I would hate to have to find 50GB for a DL disc

Most Critical Review

Not Compatible with W7 64bit

Pros: It's small and cheap

Cons: It uses the athrxusb driver which has been know to crash several systems. It crashed my system repeatedly and I ended up having to move the router to my computer and convert the other computer to wireless.

Overall Review: I have seen these work flawlessly on several computers, but it doesn't work if your system has trouble with athrxusb driver. Good Luck

One Battery Mouse!! but they say otherwise

Logitech  Cordless Desktop LX 310 Laser - Retail

Pros: It's a Logitech product so you know it's a good deal for the price. THE MOUSE SAYS IT NEEDS TWO BATTERIES BUT ONLY REQUIRES ONE. I took a battery out to put in another mouse for a few minutes and my Logitech two battery mouse is still working. In fact it works better than before.

Cons: Keyboard sounds kind of rattley... it rattles like its cheap when I type but its a good product.

Overall Review: Why the mouse works with one battery but they say it needs two is beyond me.

Its great

Pros: My first wide screen monitor, I was skeptical about getting it because someone's review said theirs was filled with dead pixels. My arrived in perfect condition and has worked flawlessly since I got it. In fact it is the only part of the computer to survive the latest computer upgrade.

Cons: No tilt or adjustable stand. I was worried about that when I ordered it but in all honesty it has not been a problem. It is already angled perfectly for me. I had a giant LCD monitor sitting on a couple of books and this thing has taken its spot.

Great keyboard and mouse

Pros: This keyboard and mouse has been very good to me. I am just now replacing it and I have had it for well over a year. The letters on the keyboard are still visible with zero wear and tear. The Logitech logo on the mouse has worn off, but it took over a year to do that .

Cons: After it hits the year and a half mark and your niece has dropped the keyboard and mouse on the floor a few hundred times it starts to get buggy. lol

Good DVD burner

SAMSUNG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model TS-H663B/UOAH

Pros: Great burner still kicking in my backup PC after a couple years and a few thousand burns. As long as your computer can handle multitasking you can do pretty much what you want while burning with this burner without worrying about making a coaster. I only made coasters using SONY dvdrs.

Cons: Didn't even remember buying this but that's because it doesn't say Samsung on the faceplate.
