EVERCOOL EC-MC-PI Aluminum Heatsinks only
EVERCOOL EC-MC-PI Aluminum Heatsinks only

Pros: Easy to install. Can't be seen from outside my PC case (thank goodness), does its job keeping memory cool.

Cons: Dude, its friggin pink!! You can't make other colors for the same low price. How about not painting it at all?

Overall Review: Since buying this PINK memory heat sink, I have bought several seasons of the Ellen Degenerate show, changed my name to CHAD and joined a boy band. I now put lots of hair gel in my hair and pop my collar. Thank you EVERCOOL, for changing my life. I can never thank you enough.

An amazing case loaded with features!

Pros: Amazing number of fan locations. Gorgeous case with easy access for installation/maintenance. Great price!!!

Cons: Hard drive case must be modified to fit a full size/modular power supply. But it WILL WORK!!!

Overall Review: Allright party peoples, I bought this case due to the hype surrounding it and the excitement other reviewers presented. Like others, I'm stoked with the ease of installation/maintenance of the components emplaced within this case. My Setup: * ASUS DRW-24B1ST DVD Burner * Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz * ASRock H67M-GE (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX * AZZA Dynamo 850 850W ATX & EPS Power Supply * Galaxy 50SGH8HX3QMZ GeForce GTS 450 * (4) G.SKILL Value Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (yeah I like RAM!) The only issue I had was with the AZZA Power Supply and the Hard Drive caddy. The case was clearly only designed for a smaller power supply but with a little ingenuity and a drill bit, you can make a full size power supply work. You gotta drill your own holes to mount the hard drives further back to make it work. Good times!

The PERFECT USB hub

AZiO BTD603-132 USB 2.0 Bluetooth Adapter (Class 1 v. 2.0)
AZiO BTD603-132 USB 2.0 Bluetooth Adapter (Class 1 v. 2.0)

Pros: Instantly recognized by Windows XP SP2 & Ubuntu 8.04. Very simple install. Attractive hub that performs well. Great price!

Cons: This will not tell me what alien race feeds Barack Obama his misinformation. Bummer.

Overall Review: All I can say is that this USB hub was very cheap and works perfectly. i have rebooted several times in both XP and Ubuntu and it is instantly recognized each time. I have yet to have a problem with it recognizing any of my devices from external HDs to flash drives, even my XV6700 PPC (the best phone in the universe) to my MS Zune (the best media player in the universe). This hub is awesome and so am I. No big deal.

Great keyboard........... horrendous mouse

Logitech EX 110 Black 102 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys Cordless Standard Cordless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Kit
Logitech EX 110 Black 102 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys Cordless Standard Cordless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Kit

Pros: Instantly recognized by both Windows XP SP2 & Ubuntu 8.04. Omni directional radio transmission/reception. Can be used next to your monitor. Very simple to install. Very easy to use. Very basic (easy) quick-buttons are automatically set up and ready to be used.

Cons: The mouse in this package would make a great paperweight. That is about all that mouse is worth. The mouse feels very cheaply made. Driver disc only included a useless mouse utility for monitoring battery life and contained unnecessary crapware.

Overall Review: I realize that as a consumer, I have been pre-programmed to relate heaviness with a level of quality but this mouse just feels "flimsy, light, and very breakable." The included disc just contained software of no use to me and a couple crapware programs. I love Google, Inc. products but I don't need it shoved in my face when all I want to do is use my keyboard with included software. Aside from the mouse issue, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the keyboard. There are two little legs underneath the keyboard like many others that elevates it to a comfortable position while it is sitting on my desk. Then when I want to lean back in my desk chair and throw my feet up on the filing cabinet next to me I can just flip the legs up and the keyboard sits comfortably in my lap facing completely away from the transmitter/receiver. The keyboard is small enough that I don't get concerned with bring able to reach all the buttons yet it is large enough to accommodate people with large fingers like myself.

Great HD for present and future operation

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (Perpendicular Recording) Bare Drive

Pros: FAST FAST FAST. Low price. Newegg guarantee. Packed very well. Quick shipping.

Cons: No mounting hardware included. I have received hard drives in the past and the mounting hardware was included. Luckily I had some old mounting hardware sitting around or otherwise I would have had to wait an extra day to run out to my local computer service store to get mounting hardware.

Overall Review: This Hard drive is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add some serious storage space to their system without breaking the $100 limit (great for us married guys). While the actual available space that I was able to utilize was only a little over 710 GB, I now have more room then I could ever imagine and will be making numerous partitions for all of my many projects to be backed up to. I dual-boot Ubuntu with XP and this hard drive is instantly recognized by both as long as you format it in FAT 32 or ::gulp:: FAT 16. Ubuntu has NTFS read/write capability but I found it somewhat buggy on this particular drive. Perhaps I may have a setting incorrect and that might actually be the culprit (I am by no means an expert, I just love Linux) but with FAT 32 I am able to access partitions on this drive perfectly regardless of what OS I boot to. Snoogins.

An excellent choice for a quick Bluetooth addon

Pros: Easy installation. Instantly recognized by both Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 8.04. Good range (about 70 feet with my Bluetooth headphones). Driver disc included (not needed).

Cons: This does not tell me the winning lottery numbers =(

Overall Review: What else can I say? You simply plug this USB bluetooth adapter into your computer and you will instantly have BT capabilities. I have read this carries A2DP capabilities but I do not know enough about A2DP to be able to give much info on that.
