Pros: Decided to roll the dice on this unreviewed KB because it was one of the only ones I could find that met all of my picky criteria, particularly regarding modifier key layout (ctrl keys roughly equidistant from home keys, basically). Also, it was on sale at the manufacturer's website for 10 bucks. So far so good! 1) I can press the control keys on either side with the palm of my hand from home position. This is very important to me even if it doesn't matter to anyone else. A lot of keyboards have an utterly pointless second Windows key on the right side, or have one of the modifier keys uselessly extended just to get all of the keys on the right side to line up. This throws off the symmetry and makes it hard to hit the modifier keys on the right side consistently and comfortably. This keyboard doesn't do that, mercifully. 2) Function keys are properly spaced every four keys to allow for touch typing. Seems there's a trend among KB manufacturers these days to run them all together. 3) One-key-tall enter key with backslash/pipe key in the right place and a double-width backspace key. All as it should be, yet hard to find for some reason. 4) Full numpad 5) Media buttons 6) Keys feel soft and are fairly quiet. Remains to be seen how this will change with age. 7) Keyboard is pretty thin 8) Has a nice modern look 9) Seems to be fine for general gaming--e.g., no hiccuping when holding W to run forward.

Cons: These are pretty minor, so I'm not removing an egg. 1) Being a full-size keyboard with a palm rest and the media buttons on the sides, it has a very large footprint 2) Media buttons feel somewhat cheap and don't give very good feedback. 3) The button for the web browser has the Internet Explorer icon rather than a generic globe. Feh!

Overall Review: Given how picky I am, I would have happily paid full price for this, so the discount was merely a pleasant surprise. If you, on the other hand, are not as picky as me and can no longer get this for 10 bucks, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. There are plenty of good keyboards out there in the ten to fifteen dollar range.

Pros: - Attractive, clean design. I particularly like the copper tail switch and the subtle green ring on the front (which is also glow-in-the-dark). - Solidly constructed. Has a pleasant, hefty weight even without a battery. Survived a roughly five-foot drop to a vinyl floor. - Battery compartment stays sealed tight but is easy to open up when you need to access it. I feel like it could be problematic if the battery ever started to corrode, but this can't really be blamed on the flashlight. - Good, bright light. I'm not a flashlight enthusiast or aficionado, so my opinion might not mean much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how bright it was for its size.

Cons: These are all very minor and not worth deducting an egg for. - Gets a bit warm if left on for more than a minute or so. Thankfully it never got uncomfortably hot, even when I left it on for about 20 minutes. This isn't really the type of flashlight you're gonna have on for long periods of time anyway. It's not like this is gonna be your primary flashlight for an all-night search and rescue operation. - The "WEIITA F64" engraved on the barrel detracts slightly from the clean look. You can see it in the pictures. The typeface is a little tacky. - The tail switch feels a bit loose. I don't think it's going to be a long-term problem or anything, but it feels like it could be a bit tighter. - It would be nice if it had a spot to hook onto a keyring! It's a bit hefty for a keyring flashlight, but I wouldn't mind.

Overall Review: The compact, sleek design and single-mode operation make it perfect for a computer repair/build kit. I slipped mine into the Rosewill 45-piece computer toolkit (RTK-045; available here on Newegg) and with a few other customizations it nicely rounded out that kit's functionality. If the size isn't entirely clear from the description or the pictures, this might help: it's roughly the length of a cigarette and about as big around as an average man's finger. It fits comfortably in the palm of my hand. You could almost, but not quite, hide it diagonally behind a credit card.

Pros: Very happy I stumbled on this little dynamo when I did. Really an unbeatable value. It's price and power demand are so low that you can drop it into all but the dirt-cheapest budget builds and turn what was only intended as a day-to-day workstation into a decent little gaming rig. I was doing a build as a birthday gift for a friend who had a horrible, ancient computer, and what I'd intended to get her was just something that could run more than Notepad and didn't crash every few seconds. What she ended up with is something that can run Skyrim.

Cons: The biggest problem with this thing for me is that you MUST have a monitor with DVI or HDMI inputs. Older monitors that only use have VGA only _will not work, even with a DVI-to-VGA adaptor_, so take note if you haven't upgraded in a while. You can get converters that will work, but they cost upwards of a hundred dollars... for that price, you might as well just get a new monitor (and trust me, any 10-dollar adaptor that claims to work is lying). I blame myself for not noticing this, so I'm not subtracting an egg. Also, as everyone has mentioned, the fan is very loud and apparently can't be controlled with software (when I tried, any setting other than 100 percent caused it to shut off completely). Definitely spend five extra bucks for a fan controller. Decided not to subtract an egg for this either, because even with the cost of a fan controller, it's still a great value.

Overall Review: Again, if you're doing a (non-gaming) budget build, you might as well drop this thing in. 40 bucks is such a small price to pay for the potential it provides, and you're not likely to be running a PSU that can't handle it.

Pros: Overclocked to 4.3 on an Asus P8Z68 without even trying. A CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo is keeping it a frosty cool 48c under Prime95's torture tests (and barely a fahrenheit degree above room temperature at idle). Saw a dramatic improvement in PS2, GameCube, and Wii emulation, which is the main reason why I was upgrading from my old Core 2 Duo. Now the bottleneck is the GTX 275 GPU, but I think I'll wait for the 600 series before making any moves.

Cons: The stock Intel cooler is as poor as ever. The thermal "paste" that it comes with is especially bad. Do yourself a favor and wipe that clay-like gunk off to make room for some Tuniq TX-2 (or Arctic Silver if you like to throw your money away for almost no additional benefit).

Overall Review: I was doing a build for a friend at about the same time I was doing my upgrade and we both got the same CPU, but he didn't get an aftermarket cooler. After we got his up and running, we noticed the CPU was running awfully hot, so we shut down and took a look. It turns out that the posts that press down and twist to secure the heatsink to the board can be pretty resistant. Just be sure to press them in FIRMLY and twist while keeping them held. We didn't damage his CPU, but others might not be so lucky.
