Most Favorable Review

Good overclocker, cool GUI UEFI bios.

MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Bios has a very cool GUI that is a refreshing change from the plain BIOS we have grown to hate. DDR3-1866 memory recognized at 1866Mhz with no adjustments at all! Not a huge pro, but I love the horizontal SATA ports :) One of the higher end 970 boards I have seen.

Cons: No VRM heatsinks. There is however mounting holes for an add on heatsink so I will not deduct an egg for that.

Overall Review: Purchased this board for my media PC, ended up replacing the Biostar TA970A in my gaming PC instead!! Both boards have the same chipsets and the same hardware, yet the MSI is twice as good. Memory never ran at 1866Mhz in the Biostar, no matter what the settings were at. Also, the Biostar claimed to have a UEFI BIOS, which looked exactly like the old BIOS with no GUI. If you have an FX/Phenom II/Athlon II CPU and don't want to spring for a 990 board, this is the board for you!

Most Critical Review

Solid But Warm....

Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Easy to swap drives, fast transfer speeds for IDE/USB 2.0. Got it for $14.99, which I think is a steal for a Rosewill. Silver color and shape matches my Rosewill eSata enclosures pretty well :)

Cons: No fan. Not usually a big deal but the case is warm to the touch, making me wonder how hot the actual drive is inside. Instruction manual is very uninformative as well, leaving out critical information when dealing with IDE drives.

Overall Review: NOTE: When installing drive, make sure jumper pin settings are set to MASTER, not slave like most enclosures. ^This was left out of the instruction manual and caused me to have to remove the drive for a second time :/ I swear by Rosewill products but I believe I will find a fan cooled equivalent soon.

Works good, no errors!

HGST/Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722020ALA331 2TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
HGST/Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722020ALA331 2TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: Price was awesome! No trouble recognizing in BIOS or in Windows via eSata. No errors or anything thusfar!

Cons: Drive is very loud, spins up really fast and loud, also clicks when called upon. Hard Drive Sentinel says the drive has been on 1357 days and started and stopped 48 times. That means the drive is 3.71 years old, however the description DOES say it's "refurbished" . Who's to say it wasn't rebuilt without the cache cleared?

Overall Review: For the price I can't complain, drive is being used as primary storage and ALL data on the drive is backed up on a clone drive anyways. Drive did not look used, not sure how much "refurbing" Hitachi does to the drive internally but they definitely reconditioned the outside. If I get a few years out of it, I got my $50 worth! Taking an egg off for the noise and an egg off for the alleged age of the drive.

Nicely built, couldn't have done it better myself!

SINGLE 12 SEALED CAR STEREO SUB BOX SEALED BASS SPEAKER SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE
SINGLE 12 SEALED CAR STEREO SUB BOX SEALED BASS SPEAKER SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE

Pros: Sturdy design, 3/4" MDF construction with a 1" MDF baffle. Carpet is nice with no bad seams and terminal cup is of good quality. Joints are glued tightly and so far, no loose joints.

Cons: Only thing I could see that could have been better was the seal job on the joints. Seemed they skimped a little on the sealant, I ended up doing a bead around some of it myself.

Overall Review: I build custom enclosures, primarily vented ones and recognize good craftsmanship when I see it. Was cheaper for me to buy this already carpeted, with a 1" MDF baffle than it would have been to build. The price and the good material and assembly trump the lack of sealant, so will give a full 5 eggs! :)

Good drive, good price!

Western Digital WD 320GB Elements SE Mini Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive
Western Digital WD 320GB Elements SE Mini Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive

Pros: Had the drive around a month now.... No issues converting it to FAT32 for the PS3. Transfer speeds are to par with USB 3.0, no errors or dead sectors. Drive performs pretty quiet for a physical drive as well.... Biggest pro, the price! Got it for $27.99 on sale, really can't beat 9 cents a GB for a portable USB 3.0 :)

Cons: Only one I can think of is there was no box or manual with the refurbed model. Not at all a big deal, not worth taking an egg off for!

Overall Review: Was amazed at the size and speed of this drive in relation to the cost. As long as it lasts a decent amount of time, I got my moneys worth!

Same awesome product!

NEW PAIR AUDIOPIPE BTC10 1/0GA RING TERMINAL SET SCREW STYLE RING TERMINAL
NEW PAIR AUDIOPIPE BTC10 1/0GA RING TERMINAL SET SCREW STYLE RING TERMINAL

Pros: Big enough inputs to fit even my over sized 1/0 OFC, set screws make it easy to change configurations, no crimping involved and can be used over and over! :) Heavy, made with nice brass and the jackets really make them look nice! Also, the rings are small and can be bolted places with little room.

Cons: None what so ever!

Overall Review: This is the 3rd set I have bought for my ride, adding more wire/amps and slowly replacing the few crimp type terminals I have. Will have all these terminal ends by the time I am done :)
