Great drive when it works.

Pros: Fast drive @ 7200 RPM. Plenty of storage. And the noise isn't near as bad as some people may say as I hardly hear it myself. As long as the drive holds up, I'm happy. Only time will tell on that though.

Cons: First drive arrived DOA. Newegg's return process was problem free, but I wasn't happy having to pay 10 bucks just to ship it back when the item arrived DOA.

Does what it's designed to do.

TRENDnet TEW-432BRP Wireless Broadband Router 802.11b/g up to 54Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4

Pros: I bought this router for a friend to have a basic wireless router for his house. When it's all set up, product works as advertised. Decent user interface as well. *Just be sure to update the firmware from TRENDnet's website to the latest revision as it is more stable when encryption is enabled (at least it was for me).

Cons: *Very poor documentation. If I wasn't there for my friend to set this up, he would have been lost. *Doesn't support DD-WRT.

Overall Review: Don't expect this router to be high-performer, but if you want a basic wireless router that does its job, it works. Also, can't complain for the price.

Decent bang for buck

Pros: Great video card for what it's designed to do. I wouldn't expect this card to hold up for any amount of gaming, but for normal everyday tasks with a few 3D apps here and there (e.g. HTPC, family PC, etc.), it's great.

Cons: None.
