Pros: Works. Didn't explode. No bent pins. Cheap.

Cons: Wasn't free, or a dual core. Only cpu available for 939.

Overall Review: The last piece needed to finish a PC I started building for myself over 2 years ago. Wish I'd bought my cpu much earlier in the build. Never would have thought 939 cpus would be so hard to get considering how long the 754s have stuck around. Go figure...

Pros: Very elegant design. Would match well in an Apple setup. Blue LEDs are very bright and easy to see.

Cons: Arrived DOA - powered on, yet was unable to connect via hardwire to the router - PC continually cycled between 'a wire is unplugged' and 'limited or no connectivity' before settling on the latter. Thus, unable to access the router's setup screens.

Overall Review: Have RMA'd and am awaiting the replacement. I will update when the replacement arrives. I've had D-Link equipment before (a DI-624 and the corresponding PC and Laptop cards) and never had a problem with them (yup, my DI-624 was stable) which is why I went with D-Link again. I'm crossing my fingers... Had absolutely no problems with either D-Link's tech support (the tech was knowledgeable and polite, and my total call time was less than 30 minutes from dialing to RMA number) or NewEgg's customer support (got an RMA and UPS return label in minutes from chatting with a rep online). NEWEGG ROCKS!!!

Pros: All things I said in my earlier review 2.5 years ago are still true, though I can now say that iPod connectivity works for iPad 2's as well.

Cons: The biggest flaw this receiver has is the remote. Slowly over time, the volume up function has failed. I can only get it to work maybe 10% of the time now. Luckily there is a solution for me - Onkyo makes a remote control App for iDevices, so most of the time I use my old iPhone 3GS or my iPad2 to control my receiver. It actually makes it easier to use the multi-zone features and surround function. And, yeah, I can turn up the volume too.

Overall Review: A lot of the network connectivity issues were taken care of by a software update a while ago, which is good considering I control it through the network a lot. Overall this was a great purchase, and I would buy another Onkyo in a New York Minute.

Pros: Purchased this to add another access point to the network in a room with notoriously bad WiFi reception. Wasn't concerned about this being a refurbished product because these are sold normally in pairs and estimated that these were the 'good ones' from pairs with a failed unit. I have no problems whatsoever with the unit I received, getting about 90MB in a room far from the modem. Still way faster than my internet speed, so no complaints.

Cons: Packaging left a bit to be desired - unit was rattling around loose inside the box. Luckily no damage occurred. Unit was about 50% larger than the other adapter I already have despite being the same model, so I assume it's an older version.

Overall Review: These powerline adapters are a surprisingly good way to extend your network and while distance does degrade the speed of the signal, They're still much faster than typical broadband internet. A very cool technology!

Pros: Very simple setup. Works pretty darn good considering what it's actually doing. Used this to replace an 802.11N connection in bedroom that was lacking signal strength. Despite distance from modem and being on separate electrical circuits still managing almost 100MB throughput which is a nice improvement. This in a single family home constructed about 10 years ago.

Cons: Did not come with the setup software - needed to download it from Netgear website. I'm sorry, they should have sprung for a disc instead of making me search for it. Others here have reported that these run 'hot' - and yeah they get warm to the touch, but you won't be frying eggs on them. If I were worried about the heat issue I wouldn't have put the switch on my teenager's desk.

Overall Review: Yes these are rated up to 500MB and yeah, I didn't get 500MB and yeah I'm okay with that. Let's face it, unless you have FiOS, are paying for the absolute top speed your cable company can offer (here, that's 60MB) or have your own personal T1 line you're never going to max these things out if you plan on using it for internet access alone. Since I don't (at this time anyway) plan to stream HD video halfway across the house it just isn't an issue for me.

Pros: Easy install. Very well built. Good included software. Looks sharp under blue lights.

Cons: Wasn't free. Can't do my laundry. Came with white (!) SATA cables (luckily I had black ones, so no big deal). That's about it.

Overall Review: Love this board. Didn't expect so many displays and lights built in, but very glad they are there - especially the Hex boot code display. System: MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2, AMD FX-8350 Vishera CPU, 16 GB GSkill Ripjaws X RAM, OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-128G SSD, HIS ICE-Q Radeon 7850 2GB Video, Corsair TX850W Enthusiast PSU, stuffed into an old Aspire (now Apevia) X-Cruiser-BK case, and an ASUS VS238 flatpanel.
