Pros: i have not done any burning with it yet, but i just bought it to replace an old burned out DVD reader. i plugged it in, and it works just fine. and it was cheap.

Cons: i can't just skip the CONS section, i have to type something in here.

Overall Review: i like it when things work without allot of hassle.

Pros: small and much more powerful than expected. the upright tube is telescoping and can be adjusted for people that are not tall.

Cons: the description did not say that it was an open box purchase.

Overall Review: minus all eggs for deceptive marketing plus two eggs for product quality leaves two eggs to the good. after i got through all the outer packing material it was clear the the box had been closed again after having been opened. i almost sent it back without opening it. i decided to take the risk and try it anyway, but i'm not happy with this forced choice. the machine works better than expected, so i'll keep it. if it works for a reasonable amount of time before it breaks down/burns out it will be a good purchase. if it had been new and not "open box" i would give it 5 stars. i have seen offers to replace items in these situations if the item is sent back. if you want to do that send me a new one with a paid return postage label and i'll send this one back to you AFTER i inspect the one you send as a replacement. i took the risk and trusted you, now it's your turn to trust me. do i sound frustrated?

Pros: it's a powered adapter and has a very good chance of doing the job. it seemed to be able to get pictures on a monitor that was not able to display the minimum resolution for this device. but the monitor was making screaming noises so i discontinued trying to find a mode that worked. my fault, not the devices fault. the monitor couldn't display the required mode. . . i feel sure that it will work when i get something that will.

Cons: i didn't know it wouldn't work till i got it and read the docs.

Overall Review: it didn't work with the old super VGA monitor i wanted it to work with, but that could be because the old monitor couldn't get up to the adapters lowest resolution. this is a powered adapter and needs to plug into a USB port for power. DOT NOT BUY A DISPLAY ADAPTER OF THIS TYPE THAT IS UNPOWERED. i expect this to work with a flat panel display that does not have the HDMI input, but does have the vga input because it will display at or above the minimum resolution of this device. . .good purchase

Pros: i loved the game and there is a way around the DRM. i payed for the game when it first came out. so i am an honest owner.

Cons: the DRM. the lock that won't allow you to install it forced me to use illegal methods to use a game i am an honest owner of. and it doesn't stop people from getting around it. it is a bad idea and i hope it is never repeated.

Overall Review: if you look around you will find there is an illegal fix for this DRM problem. i was forced to use it, and you can use it too. i will give no more details, but this is a problem that drives honest people like me to use illegal methods to get around something that should not be there in the first place.

Pros: it's corsair and they have a good reputation so i will replace this with another corsair power supply. but NOT anything that brags about being SILENT or QUIET.

Cons: it's corsair and they have a good reputation so i was quite disappointed. it seems that they are using customers to replace in house quality control. this power supply blew out my motherboard and i am hoping that it did not blow out my new graphics card also. the graphics card has 1152 cuda cores and 4 gigs of ddr5. but i have to wait till i get a new mother board and power supply to find out since this old machine i am using now is certainly not going to support a graphics card like that for even a short test run. so we will see. i suppose it is too late to get an rma number, and even if i did i would not want another one of these, i would prefer to have the money applied to a corsair power supply that claims to be loud as hell but reliable. and yes i am going to buy another corsair PSU.

Overall Review: i was quite disappointed with what happened and have spent several hours, 6 or more looking around at the negative comments on other products. mother boards, graphics cards and other components. it seems that there is a trend towards shoddy quality control across all types of computer components, not just corsair. so my idea is to look at the negative reports and see if the company is doing more than just making some sympathetic reply in the comments area to people. many of the negative comments you will see include descriptions of long drawn out back and forth involving people who bought new parts getting used and damaged and even DOA parts in return for items that they paid full price for. sometimes several times in a row. so i have read the negative comments here and decided that even though i am expected to replace quality control for this company, i just might get treated with respect once i have found a faulty device. so 2 eggs instead of one.

Pros: i wrote a review a while ago that mentioned that i did not get the perk that comes with this card. after a chat with customer service the problem got solved and they sent me another copy, and i got it the next day in the mail. i knew there was a good reason to like newegg, actually several but this is one of them.

Cons: the only con here was my attitude.

Overall Review: business's get things right sometimes, and some more often than others. newegg.

the vacuum works better than expected and i am glad to have it. the description did not tell me it was an open box purchase. this is very poor marketing and demonstrates a severe lack of respect for the customer base.
