Most Favorable Review

Worth the money

Sony Optiarc Black 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1615/B2s
Sony Optiarc Black 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1615/B2s

Pros: Great Drive - I bought two Sony cd/dvd drives they work dandy. My friend bought a cheaper ASUS and we paid for it with an additional 12 hours trying to get the OS to install because the drive was bad. Sony ftw.

Cons: None. They even gave me extra face plates...

Most Critical Review

Refurb Fails

LINKSYS RE1000-RM Wireless-N Range Extender
LINKSYS RE1000-RM Wireless-N Range Extender

Pros: Small, slick install, easy and fast to get up and running

Cons: Fails after two weeks. Like most of the other negative comments for extenders this unit has the same behavior: constant drops and resets every 5 min. If you're loading web pages it's ok, but you can't Skype, stream video or play games with it.

Overall Review: Tech support at Linksys seems sufficiently friendly. we'll see if they replace it or what. Remember not to wait more than 90 days if you're having problems.

Slim, Sexy, Easy to use

Kensington SlimBlade K72327US Red Scroll Ball USB Wired Laser Mouse
Kensington SlimBlade K72327US Red Scroll Ball USB Wired Laser Mouse

Pros: I needed a trackball because there isn't enough space for a mouse on my work desk right now. This was just the ticket. Kensington makes a superior product. I think the idea of rotating the ball instead of a scroll wheel is brilliant.

Cons: Cons are that Windows mouse settings don't adjust well for track balls. But that's Windows, not Kensington.

Overall Review: Sleek and elegant design. I can't wait until we go back to work, it will feature on my desk.

It Glows Red

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard

Pros: Smooth install. Comes with everything you need and then some. Simple to follow, well laid out, well designed, pleasing to look at, everything is labelled down to the power pins for the case. Bios was unbelievable. Never had mouse support in a bios before.

Cons: Unsure that there were any cons.

Overall Review: Trace along the back glows red, so if you buy a blue or green case keep in mind you'll see the red too. Mine is blue and red, I don't mind it a bit.

Great Drive

Pros: Good drive, great price, works fine. I'm happy.

Cons: None.

No problems, works dandy

Mushkin Enhanced Enhanced Performance 1GB DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Desktop Memory Model 991381

Pros: Thing about RAM is there's really not much to say. Either it works fine, or you want to shoot yourself 12 hours later. This works fine.

Cons: None.
