Most Favorable Review

Good price for button cells

Tianqiu Products CR2032 DL2032 ECR2032 5004LC 3 Volt Lithium Button Cell Batteries - 50 Count
Tianqiu Products CR2032 DL2032 ECR2032 5004LC 3 Volt Lithium Button Cell Batteries - 50 Count

Pros: These seem to be fairly good quality. the shelf life for lithium cells makes it OK to stock up on them like this.

Cons: They have a distinctive odor from some part of the manufacturing process.

Overall Review: More of the smaller toys and gadgets that we have are using the CR2032 cells. Local markets charge a fairly high premium for these little batteries.

Most Critical Review

Dead On Arrival

MSI B85-G41 PC MATE-R LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX High Performance CF Intel Motherboard Certified Refurbished
MSI B85-G41 PC MATE-R LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX High Performance CF Intel Motherboard Certified Refurbished

Pros: Specs are nice. windows 10 ready, etc.

Cons: Will not POST No beeps, doesn't even light up the PS2 keyboard, no beeps. CMOS reset does nothing. Very hard to believe that this unit underwent even rudimentary QA/inspection

Overall Review: Bought this MOBO in order to build as a christmas present with my son. Needless to say it has made for a *very* disappointing christmas day when the MOBO will not POST - no beeps with just the CPU in and PS connected (both plugs in). Intel i7 -4790k.

Excellent Choise for Time Machine

Seagate 500GB 2.5" USB 3.0 Slim External Hard Drive Model STCF500801
Seagate 500GB 2.5" USB 3.0 Slim External Hard Drive Model STCF500801

Pros: Small Quiet Works with Apple Time Machine INSTANTLY

Cons: Not sure why someone would buy this for a PC BUT -Requires driver download for PC use -Requires a reformat for PC use -Expensive - you can find 1TB portable drives for the same price - but then you would have to format those for your MAC before first use - so...

Overall Review: If you read the blurb, this small drive is meant to be used for a mac - and it just works. I wrote the review to stress that this equipment works exactly as advertised, with no hassle and no fuss, compared to two other reviews that seem to be upset because they want to use the device for something it is not configured, and then complain about it.,

JUNK

Rosewill RMNA-11001 Universal automatic Notebook Power Adapter 90W
Rosewill RMNA-11001 Universal automatic Notebook Power Adapter 90W

Pros: None

Cons: My old Toshiba laptop PS is on its last legs, so I need a replacement power supply. Have tried to make this lemon work on a Toshiba Satellite R25-S3503, a newer ASUS K52J, and an HP . . . no luck, and no success whatsoever. Don't recommend this product at all.

Overall Review: I have used Rosewill gear, drive enclosures, usb splitters, internal and external card readers and have good success with this brand before. Just seems to be this particular product.

Full speed USB 2.0

Nippon Labs Black 15 ft. USB cable A/Male to A/Female extension 15ft USB cable Model USB-15-MF-BK 15 feet

Pros: Good quality extension cables, USB 2.0 as advertised.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Nothing exciting here, just some USB extension cables that work. Bear in mind that not all USB devices can take a 15' extension cable. I use these for printer connections generally.

Better than cheap phone cable

C2G 28723 RJ11 High-Speed Internet Modem Cable, Gray (25 Feet, 7.62 Meters)
C2G 28723 RJ11 High-Speed Internet Modem Cable, Gray (25 Feet, 7.62 Meters)

Pros: Sturdy Cable, brand name, well crafted. Has increased my download and upload speed.

Cons: Non, so far

Overall Review: The cable that came with the DSL modem was too short, so I needed to get 25' for placement. Local stores had a cheap phone cable, but that seemed to cost me a little speed. Numerous test indicate that the switch to this CTG cable has given me at least an extra 6 Mbs.
