Pioneer Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 5X DVD-RAM 40X CD-R 32X CD-RW 40X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATAPI DVD Burner

Pros: Reliable, fast & quiet. This drive will be able to read minor scratches disk that other drive couldn’t. It works well with all the media such as Verbatim, TDK, Memorex, HP…

Cons: Nothing so far...

Overall Review: Pioneer did it again. I own the model DVR-105 for 4 yrs and this thing still work like a champ except that it’s too slow for today’s technology. I’m very happy with the model DVR-111D and would buy it again. This product is far superior comparing with NEC 3550 or LiteOn drive.

Most Critical Review

Not very reliable PS

Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX 12V 2.2  Power Supply
Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX 12V 2.2 Power Supply

Pros: Good price, long output DC cables, harness is well organized and wrapped up in sleeve, quiet operation, good looking housing.

Cons: Unit died after 4 weeks in moderated usage.

Overall Review: I am using this PS in 3 different computers. Yesterday, 1 computer died. After T/S, it ends up the power supply went kaput. The other 2 are still running OK but I don’t know for how long.

Works well as expected

Rosewill R-WO-H01 Electric Wine Opener (battery not included)
Rosewill R-WO-H01 Electric Wine Opener (battery not included)

Pros: The opener performs great. Open 20 bottles so far and no sign of worn out battery. Easy to operate, just install batteries and go. Pay attention when closing the battery lid, sometime it does not making good contact but once the contact made, it remain in contact at all time. Slow motor speed with good torque helps to remove the cork even when it dry.

Cons: None

Excellent buy for the $$$

Sangean FM / AM PLL Synthesized Radio (White) PR-D7
Sangean FM / AM PLL Synthesized Radio (White) PR-D7

Pros: Good quality built, great sound and easy to use. Well design through out and good looking unit.

Cons: None that I can find

Overall Review: I'll be able to pull in channels that I could not tuned in with other radios. I live in deep South OC, CA so with this unit, I'll be able to get all channels broadcast from LA as well as SD metropolitan area which is great (more selections available for me)

Decent budget combo

Rosewill RKM810BLK Black 104 Normal Keys 20 Function Keys RF Wireless Standard Keyboard & Mouse
Rosewill RKM810BLK Black 104 Normal Keys 20 Function Keys RF Wireless Standard Keyboard & Mouse

Pros: 1)Inexpensive. 2)Many Quick access keys 3)Nice key switch feels

Cons: 1) Media Quick keys only worked with Window Media player. 2) No LED indicator for Caps Lock or Num Lock. 3) The mouse is worthless.

Overall Review: I'm looking for the decent wireless kbd combo. The mouse is worthless but the kbd is fine for the $$ when I paired it up with the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman. Pick this combo when you're ready to dump the mouse that comes with it.

ECS RX480-A (1.0) 939 ATI Radeon Xpress 200P ATX AMD Motherboard
ECS RX480-A (1.0) 939 ATI Radeon Xpress 200P ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy to setup, good performance for budget price, 4 SATA & RAID.

Cons: Poor lay out: 1) It’s easier to remove the heat sink of the ATI Chipset in order to install the AMD CPU oem heat sink on. 2) The PCI express is so close to the RAM slot and not giving enough clearance for the RAM locking tab to be unlock (will hit my EVGA video card). You might have to remove your video card to replace the RAM when needed.

Overall Review: DIMM 1 slot has become intermittent after I’m using the board about a month. I suspected my Corsair RAM module at first but after I moved it to DIMM 3 slot, everything is fine but this might be an isolate incident. I would buy this board again in the future.
