Most Favorable Review

Great

Fan Controller Panel
Fan Controller Panel

Pros: The LEDs change brightness as you turn the knobs, the two toggle switches have an input on the back (you have to screw wires into them there are no connections for it) i kind of like them but i don't really see any use for them yet

Cons: none really

Most Critical Review

it works

Airnet AWU154 Wireless Pen Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Airnet AWU154 Wireless Pen Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Its cheap and it works

Cons: I ordered this with a rebate about 6 months ago and i sent in... long story short i've ended up sending them emails every week with no reply about it

Overall Review: if your someone that like good custumer service DO NOT buy this, i cannot even get ahold of airnet at all

Was a good deal...

Canon ImageClass MF3240 0989B001 MFC / All-In-One Up to 21 ppm Monochrome USB Laser Printer
Canon ImageClass MF3240 0989B001 MFC / All-In-One Up to 21 ppm Monochrome USB Laser Printer

Pros: It works the "manual tray" is nice, i use it a lot to save paper (i print a lot of coupons, so i try to print at least 2 on piece of paper and i feed it in upside down so it prints on the back) The scanner is also nice, it can scan at a very high resolution, way beyond what i would ever need When i bought the printer ~4 months ago replacement toner cartridges were cheap ~thirty dollars?

Cons: The manual tray sometimes won't grab a piece of paper correctly and it will crinkle as its going in. My biggest problem right now is that i cannot figure out how to cancel a print after it started, like if i use the manual tray to load a half sheet of standard paper 5"x5.5" it will print and then throw an error asking for correct size paper, i cannot figure out how to cancel the print job after the error has been thrown, the STOP/RESET button doesn't do it.... another little thing i don't like is if you take a piece of paper from the tray and put it back the next printed paper will push it or it will print under the paper Not color (but i knew that when i bought it) doesn't have a document type feed scanner (but i knew that when i bought it)

Overall Review: When i bought this printer ~4 months ago it was quiet a bit cheaper almost half the price it is now. Its a good printer though i'm glad i got it!

meh good for windows, not so for linux

XFX Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-477A-YDFC
XFX Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-477A-YDFC

Pros: It works great in Windows, i got about a 100-150fps gain in insurgency/garry's mod from a 8600gt

Cons: Linux support IMHO sucks for this card... Iv'e installed Wine in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 and i cannot play CSS/Insurgency/Gmod without the game crashing and haveing issues... i pulled out this card and stuck my 8600gt card back in, and it works fine with games (well somewhat).

Overall Review: If you are planning on switching to linux like i did, i'd go with a Nvidea card they seem to have better linux support/drivers i'd only get this card if you never touch linux (compiz effects does work with this card)

loving it

SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub
SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub

Pros: I love the whole internal and external thing and the mini-molex (floppy power cord) can power this, you can also use two USB cables 1 for data, and 1 for power which is nice, you can also use a wall-wart if you have one that'll fit but you might want to be carefull as this device might not have a 5v regulator and could make anything you plug in go *poof*

Cons: there aren't more LEDs and its not cheaper

Overall Review: I have this in one of my floppy drive spots and have the USB cable running out the back of my pc to one of the ports. When nothing is plugged into this device there are not LEDs on, when you plug something in, a red LED all the way to the left goes on and a green LED will go on above the port, if you eject a flash drive the red light stays on untill you remove it, but the green light goes out

real good buy

Fellowes 99090 6.0 Feet 8 Outlets 1300 Joules Mighty Surge Protector Black Color
Fellowes 99090 6.0 Feet 8 Outlets 1300 Joules Mighty Surge Protector Black Color

Pros: I love how they have the outlets spread out and on the sides for the big wall warts that take up way to much space, now i'm down to just one power strip instead of two

Cons: its all good
