Awesome RAM!!

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

Pros: I replaced my 2X1 1GB DD2 1200 OCZ Flex with these and I don't regret it. For one, I doubled my memory and secondly this runs much more stable on my machine. Not to be bashing on OCZ or anything, but my computer would crash over half the time it came back from sleep and sometimes it would just spontaneously crash for no apparent reason. Now that I put these in, I'm getting almost no blue screens. I had no installation issues and my mobo recognized these from the get go. Booted no problem. I am so pleased with this RAM that I'll be buying another set soon to complete the 8 gigs.

Cons: Beware of jealous girlfriends

Overall Review: I'm actually running 6 gigs cuz I kept 2 of my 1gig OCZ stics. Probably why I still experience some crashing issues. Before these DIMMS I couldn't run GTA IV really. Popped these in and the game went from dud to a work of art. Also handles Crysis beautifully.

Meh...

KWORLD PlusTV Analog Lite PCI TV Tuner Capture Card w/ Remote PVR-TV 7134SE PCI Interface
KWORLD PlusTV Analog Lite PCI TV Tuner Capture Card w/ Remote PVR-TV 7134SE PCI Interface

Pros: You can plug in your cable or antenna into it and that's kinda cool. Plus it comes with a remote controll and that's even cooler.

Cons: The software it comes with is absolutely worthless. Thank the Lord for Windows Media Center, cuz instead of beating my face into a wall trying to use the included software I just use Media Center and it works great.

Overall Review: Combined with Media Center you can turn your Computer into a Tivo! :-)

Worth the money, and then some!

Intel Core i7 10th Gen - Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i7 10th Gen - Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: -So crazy fast and beefy: All tests aside, this thing can run Star Citizen at 50-60 frames in cities and other major zones. That game is far from optimized, and I'm getting a buttery smooth experience now. I haven't tested it on other games, yet, but this bodes very very very well. -I'm not a huge overclocker, but the tuning utility has been pretty intuitive so far with plenty of live feedback on actual clock speed, thermals, and throttling. Helps stay on top of a stable OC solution. My cooler sucks, so I'm not going to push it.

Cons: -It won't say "I love you" back. Kinda hurts. Hurts deep.

Overall Review: -Probably overkill for today, but fantastic for furtureproofing. Probably won't need a new processor until after this socket is phased out. Ah, gotta love that planned obsolescence. Who doesn't love gutting their machine every few years. But seriously though, if you have an older processor, get it. If you're on an unlocked Coffee Lake i7, then you are probably fine because that seem like the improvements would not be huge, but if you are on an older processor, really consider this.

Billy Mays, here, with another faaaaantastic product!

Samsung EVO 32GB 32G microSD microSDHC SD SDHC Card Class 10 UHS-I with oem SD Adapter & oem USB 2.0 Reader
Samsung EVO 32GB 32G microSD microSDHC SD SDHC Card Class 10 UHS-I with oem SD Adapter & oem USB 2.0 Reader

Pros: I wanted a fast micro SD to expand the memory on my Surface Pro 2, and this product delivers. I use it mainly as a supplemental installation directory for things like games, e.g., League of Legends. This card works well for that (especially for programs that update a lot).

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you're wanting to expand your storage on a tablet or other device but don't want to pony up the cash for a 64GB+ card, then this one is definitely a great choice.

Just what I needed

Koutech IO-RCM620 USB 2.0 3.5" Card Reader
Koutech IO-RCM620 USB 2.0 3.5" Card Reader

Pros: The data transfer rate is fast, and this reader supports tons of cards. It also programs in individual drives for each slot - the downside though is that you'll probably have to reassign drive letters if you add this to an already built computer. For example my external HD is drive "e" but when this reader created its own drive letters, it reassigned a different letter to my external HD. That wasn't much of a problem though, cuz i just manually assigned the drive letters where I wanted them.

Cons: None really. I've heard that it goes dead after a while, but since it hasn't happened to me, I can't comment on that. I hope I'll be ok.

Super cheap and is easy on your battery life

LENMAR PRO120N Charger
LENMAR PRO120N Charger

Pros: My batteries retain a charge for much longer now and the low charging current puts way less stress on the batteries than the more expensive and faster chargers.

Cons: Sadly this takes forever to charge the batteries. It's a blessing and a curse. It wouldn't be so bad if this had up to 8 battery slots, but it only has 4.
