Great Conditioner

APC - AV Black 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner (H15BLK)
APC - AV Black 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner (H15BLK)

Pros: Never had a problem and it has done a good job protecting my equipment during power outages and storms. It is easy to hook up and I like the lights that show you if it is boosting or trimming the signal. It looks sharp and works great you can set up multiple things to display on the front but I like to see the actual wattage coming from the wall so I know how much it is boosting or trimming.

Cons: None noted

Overall Review: APC is the leading manufacturer of power conditioners and UPS.

Great switch

ASUS GX-D1081 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Switch 10/100/1000Mbps 8 x RJ45 Up to 8K MAC Address Table 1MB Buffer Memory
ASUS GX-D1081 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Switch 10/100/1000Mbps 8 x RJ45 Up to 8K MAC Address Table 1MB Buffer Memory

Pros: Extremely simple, it's a switch, plug and play. Also cheap compared to the last time I bought a switch especially for 8-port GB switch.

Cons: It's white

Overall Review: It's a switch and is a very simple device. I used it to wire all of my electronics downstairs from a single 100' cable upstairs instead of multiple cables running off my router and wireless on the rest. Works as advertised and hasn't hiccupped at all yet. I've had it a couple months.

Lots of Features

YAMAHA RX-A2010 9.2-Channel AV Receiver
YAMAHA RX-A2010 9.2-Channel AV Receiver

Pros: This receiver was easy to hook up and has worked without a hitch for over a year. I have never had any issues with it. Newegg was EXCELLENT in helping me get another one sent out when UPS would not leave it at the door and I was not around to receive it. The sound quality is great and the calibration software is pretty easy to use. I have Klipsch Reference 2xRF-52, 2xRS-52, RC-52, RW-12d hooked into it and they sound awesome especially when watching blu rays. I used banana plugs for all speaker connections and 10ga speaker wire. Easy to set up. Never have had a problem with heat even when using it to play games or watch movies for 12 hours.

Cons: It says it will play a lot of video formats such as .avi but they are all greyed out when I try to play them. I just use my xbox so I don't care and maybe I need a media update of some sort. I have updated firmware but this is the only con and for me it isn't really a con.

Overall Review: I use an ipad to control it. It's like a fancy touchscreen remote! So you can save yourself $300 there even though it's only for one device. I also have a cloud storage drive on my network with the receiver so if I have a party I have the ipad out and anyone can choose any songs to play or add to the playlist from the ipad and the receiver will play it from the hard drive. No slow down and it's easy.

Blazing fast

FAST

ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem

Pros: This modem worked great right out of the box. Called my ISP and had them add it to my account and no issues after that. I have only lost connection once and that was on the ISP's side, not the modems fault and it restored itself as soon as ISP had their stuff figured out. During a power outage my power flickered and it came right back online with no work from me. It sped up my already fast connection. I pay for 35 mb/sec down and 5 mb/s up. I have gotten downloads up to 6.0 MB/sec on this thing! Works great.

Cons: It's white. Everything I own is black but I really wanted this and didn't want to wait so it's on me. I would consider buying a black one later even though that's a waste of money.

Awesome monitors

ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 144Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED NVIDIA 3D Gaming Monitor

Pros: These monitors are a great size and look great. They are not too expensive for what they are and they have ultra fast response time and refresh rate. I bought 2 because I love dual monitors and they both perform great. Easy to set up out of the box. I might get 2 more just so I can have a ridiculous 4 monitor array. I have them hooked to a GeForce GTX Titan.

Cons: Some people have complained about the colors if you are a videophile. I use these for games mostly and I found using standard calibration guides make the colors look great.

Overall Review: Not sure what everyone is talking about the colors looking bad. They look rich to me with some minor calibration (which you should do with any display you ever buy). You can't expect anything to look great to everyone out of the box. Part of the calibration process is getting it to look properly to your own eyes.
