Solid Printer

Canon imageCLASS D530 (6371B049AA) Duplex Up to 1200 x 600 DPI USB Monochrome Laser MFP Printer
Canon imageCLASS D530 (6371B049AA) Duplex Up to 1200 x 600 DPI USB Monochrome Laser MFP Printer

Pros: Prints quick, and performs all tasks very effectively. 10k pages through it and not one jam yet, even with it set to print on both sides of the page. Also a very intuitive and basic interface that anyone with a passing knowledge of printers can use. I have no problem leaving it on with its power saver feature and as with almost no delay can go right to printing after being in hibernation for hours. Even from a cold start it has a quick warm up in comparison to some printers I have used. The scanner is reasonably fast and does not take all day like some.

Cons: It doesn't cook breakfast.

Overall Review: I now get the toner cartridge for 25$ and it can print about 2000~ pages or 1000~ on both sides. This will save you alot of money if your thinking of moving from some cheap inkjet that prints like 400~ at a cost of anywhere from 20-120~$.

Most Critical Review

Decent OS

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit

Pros: It is mostly Idiot proof, and its easy to mess around in

Cons: It Cannot support much more than 4gb of ram without modification (although that is mostly due to it being 32 bit). And I have been having issues with folders that I cannot uncheck (READ only) even after going through DOS.

Overall Review: The 64 bit version at least runs better, and that is what I will be upgrading my custom rig too. With a Dual boot of Ubuntu

It Works

Pros: Its a toner cartridge, it works and does print ~2000 pages if your just printing text.

Cons: It does not hop in the printer itself.

Overall Review: 1/4~ the manufacturer price currently.

Good card

HIS Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H677FN1GD
HIS Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H677FN1GD

Pros: Good performance for a good price, nice air channel on the card. The highest it went without over clocking was 51C in Shogun 2 all maxed out. Have not tested much else with it yet. I am anxious to see its rendering capabilities in AutoCad and a few other rendering softwares. And as soon as you take load off it cools off quick. Will overclock later, but I do not expect it to break 60C.

Cons: Wished it came with a Crossfire Bridge. Might be having a slight driver glitch. When I plug two monitors into it I occasionally have a small screen glitch. But when I plug one monitor into each cards It works fine. Could be my GPUS fighting for control without the Bridge.

Overall Review: This is my upgrade from the HD5750. Difference is not all that drastic. I was going to crossfire but I forgot to order the Bridge for it.

Good cable

Pros: Its short and it works.

Cons: It does not plug itself in.

Overall Review: It is hard to mess up a cable. It would be nice if there was some sort of custom cable kit so I could make one the perfect length though.

Lexar never seems to fail to deliver
