BFG Tech GeForce 7300GT 512MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card BFGE73512GT

Pros: Best value to improve performance on older (3 years) system went from low settings on Halo to highest settings

Cons: none

Most Critical Review

Fan will not start on its on

AeroCool Streamliner-Silver 140mm Blue LED Case Cooling Fan
AeroCool Streamliner-Silver 140mm Blue LED Case Cooling Fan

Pros: pretty blue light

Cons: The fan will not start spinning on its on. This fan is plugged into a normal power supply adaptor and is mounted in the top of my case as an exhaust fan. When powered-up the fan lights come on but the fan will not spin until I either blow on it forcing air to start the spinning or use someting to manually start it spinning.

Overall Review: usless fan, not worth my time to spend an hour on the phone to get another one that no doubt will be worthless too. I'm only writing review to help someone else pick a different manufacturer.

False Title

Cisco Small Business 100 Series SG100D-08P-NA Smart 8-Port PoE Desktop Gigabit Switch
Cisco Small Business 100 Series SG100D-08P-NA Smart 8-Port PoE Desktop Gigabit Switch

Pros: It is a switch

Cons: It is not an 8 port POE switch it is only 4 port POE the other 4 ports are non POE

Overall Review: Gotta return it so I can maybe get what I ordered.

Could not get it to work

BYTECC HM-VGA005 HDMI-A to VGA Female Adapter/Converter
BYTECC HM-VGA005 HDMI-A to VGA Female Adapter/Converter

Pros: Price was low enough to test

Cons: Didn't work on our Samsung HD TVs Commercial Samsung TVs with RapidRun VGA cable back to table, used adaptor on computer end for laptops with HDMI only outputs. No matter what resolution we tried we could not get the display to stay on the TV. It would go on and off constantly. And I bought two of them now have to struggle with RMA.

2.5" enterprise drive not for laptops

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD2500BHTZ 250GB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD2500BHTZ 250GB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: unknown

Cons: This IS NOT a laptop drive. I ordered this drive thinking it would be a perfect upgrade for an engineer computer, NO NO NO. This drive is twich as thick as a standard 2.5" form factor drive and WILL NOT fit inside any laptop that I am aware of.

Not quite an All In One

3 Port USB 2.0 Hub and All In One Multi Card Reader Combo for SD/MMC/M2/MS MP blue green
3 Port USB 2.0 Hub and All In One Multi Card Reader Combo for SD/MMC/M2/MS MP blue green

Pros: Pretty blue color

Cons: Does not accept my camera's memory card. This device is called an All In One but it does not accept xD-Picture Cards from my Olympus digital camera. I sure am glad I didn't pay more that $10 for this usless device.

Overall Review: Needs to rename it to Almost All In One
