over priced

Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: You are paying for something special.

Cons: Not special. $200 should by a lot of router. No better then routers half the price.

Great product, 4.5 eggs, but its built to be disposable. They don' t want you to replace the battery.

Pros: I love this keyboard. Great product, 4.5 eggs, but its built to be disposable. It might be getting better? I'm I justifying bad behavior?

Cons: Its built to be disposable. They don' t want you to replace the battery. They last a bout a year. I've had six. I'm going to hell. I'll see the designer there.

Overall Review: Horrible for the environment. I should give this one or two eggs but I'm a bad person.

Pros: none

Cons: connection but no broadcast with Arris SB8200 SURFboard Cable Modem ISP could not help. called customer support, after 25min on hold with annoying add, I hung up. returned $13 with a bite.

Overall Review: might work? who knows?

For enthusiasts... or if you hate yourself

DFI LP LT X48-T2R LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI LP LT X48-T2R LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Fast. For enthusiasts.

Cons: I hate typing, so I do it more when I am angry. I have had DFI LP LT X48-T2R LGA 775 Intel ATX for two months now and now I am mad. This board is for enthusiasts, or for any one who can push a press fit heat sink pin, with an unattached compression spring, into non deformable, delicate hardware with out it popping out and vanishing. Once you have finally decided to go with self taping wood screws, it will take an enthusiast to appreciate pushing the del button 4 or 5 times, and or unplugging the board, to get it into bios. Once in bios, the enthusiast might enjoy having new setting ignored on restart another 5 or more times. I have never not had problems with this board: hard hardware install, hard software install, never runs the same way twice, hard won solutions to issues tend not to work twice. No matter how fast a board is, if it only works half the time, it is half as fast. My next mobo will be under $50.

Overall Review: P.S. You may discount my rant when I confess that I sent my CPU back with the 4th mobo I bought and returned to Newegg ( DFI is my 5th). I emailed first and then called. The operator put me at ease, saying that this was common, and not to worry, it would be sent back to me. She even giggled. She was laughing at me, as it turned out, not with me. They eventually gave me $20 for my stupidity. I won't tell you how much the chip cost. I got it from Newegg, I wonder who has it now.

Won't survive installation

Pros: Pritty

Cons: 3 of 4 broke on installation. I have installed other ram successfully about a dozen times. I have never broken anything before on installation. Someone has got to be joking.

Overall Review: They have run out of glue at the Mushkin factory, but that doesn't stop them.
