Pros: Well built Hard to screw up a cable

Cons: Overpriced

Overall Review: Ten bucks for a few feet of cable is quite rich, but you do (mostly) get what you pay for. It's solid and shielded like an Ethernet cable and doesn't feel anything like those flimsy phone cords held together by pixie dust and good intentions. The speed-improvement claim is obviously untrue but if you care enough to buy good cabling you already knew that. As the product title says this is made for DSL modems, use it on regular telephone equipment or dialup and you're just wasting money.

Pros: -Excellent value -Runs cool, quiet and efficient -Plays games like Skyrim and Crysis very well -Two DVIs so for easy use with older monitors

Cons: -Physically large for this price point -Crashes on some games

Overall Review: At first I was pretty enthusiastic about this card as it was nailing everything in my game collection with solid settings, but the card has crashed the system numerous times when running Eve Online and changing settings did nothing. This is apparently a known issue with the 7000 series and the developer and AMD are each pointing at the other. A few other games are affected too though I don't own any of them. Were I not an Eve subscriber and otherwise didn't play any of the games in question I'd no doubt be giving this thing five eggs, but it seems that AMD/ATI is still dogged by compatibility and driver issues so I must advise anyone considering this to find out whether any of the games they play suffer Bad Things with a 7000.

Pros: -Looks good and has appealing texturing -Small profile, easy to carry around -Color coding makes it easy to manage several

Cons: -It doesn't fit in many USB sockets. I've tried just about everything out there, from PCs and hubs to chargers and single-board computers, and have maybe a 60% success rate getting it into the socket at all and of those, about a third don't want to release it without a fight. Comparing it to other plugs the problem seems to be that both the plastic inner piece and the outer metal bracket are a bit too tall, maybe 0.4 mm, so it's a no-go in ports that don't have extra clearance.

Overall Review: Really a shame about the bad fit, otherwise it would be my favorite USB stick. I've tried two of them in different sizes and they both have the same problem so it's clearly a design flaw.

Pros: Does what it does very well Inexpensive and full-featured embedded solution

Cons: Slow and weak for an SBC ARM software support is spotty

Overall Review: Much has been made about how RasPi is a $35 computer (plus shipping and/or markup). That only includes the OEM board and absolutely nothing else; to do anything useful with it you'll need, at minimum: -SD card -Power adapter -USB cable -HDMI cable if you want video output, powered USB hub for anything more demanding than a small keyboard Still a bargain compared to normal embedded SBCs but suddenly it's not so cheap anymore. Get it because making stuff is awesome, not because "wow, 35 dollars".
