Most Favorable Review

Mount it upside down.

Rosewill RCR-IC002 - 74-in-1 Internal Card Reader with USB 2.0 Ports & Extra Silver Face Plate - Fits 3.5" Drive Bay

Pros: It works, very easy to install. Blue light matches my case nicely.

Cons: The SD card slot is upside down.

Overall Review: Since the SD slot is the only one I regularly use, I mounted the whole unit upside down so the card will be rightside up when inserted. Plug and Play, what more can I say.

Most Critical Review

Flimsy frame, no customer support.

N Seat PRO 600 Series Racing Gaming Style Ergonomic Design Swivel Chair - Black
N Seat PRO 600 Series Racing Gaming Style Ergonomic Design Swivel Chair - Black

Pros: Looks good, but you don't buy a seat to look at it.

Cons: Cheap welds that hold the seat cushion frame broke after a few weeks of LIGHT use. Distributor/manufacturer or whoever was selling these no longer answers the support phone and all email addresses to the company bounce back. Plenty of other similar chairs, at much better prices too, out there, stay away from this one, if you have a problem, you're out of luck.

Overall Review: Almost a year later, and I still have not received a return message or even a confirmation of anything. Non-existent customer service.

Fast efficient storage.

Pros: Quick transfer compared to my other USB's. Great capacity, makes backing up important files easy.

Cons: The only "con" would be the size, it's a bit larger than it has to be, but then again, it might be a pro, as it's harder to lose than a smaller footprint usb.

Overall Review: No complaints, does the job.

Arrived and Worked.

CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5

Pros: Arrived, plugged it in, and it worked. Plays nice with the other branded memory on the board.

Cons: None

Overall Review: No more waiting for lethargic manufacturer rebates, unless it's an emergency, just wait for the item to show up on one of the New Egg sales.

Better than expected.

Pros: Runs cool, runs very well with the cheapest cooler you can find. I'm using the Rosewill RCX-Z1 bought on sale here.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought it on sale here along with a ECS A780GM motherboard to assemble a cheap backup system, I suspect I may make this my primary machine, it's out perfroming my dated Intel P D chipped system.
