Most Favorable Review

Nice case

Vantec NexStar 3 3.5" IDE to USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (Brilliant Red) - Model NST-360U2-RD
Vantec NexStar 3 3.5" IDE to USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (Brilliant Red) - Model NST-360U2-RD

Pros: Easy to install drive. Works flawlessly.

Cons: Small thing, but I wish the case went back together a little easier, the plastic is a bit difficult to line up.

Overall Review: We modded the outer case. If you are careful, you can remove the metal pieces. They are attached with adhesive tape; easily painted or dremelled.

Most Critical Review

Disappointed

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: None.

Cons: Installed on a newly built Win7 system. At first I thought there was a driver issue, but even after uninstalling all sound drivers and reinstalling, the sound was very choppy during streaming. (Others had mentioned this as well) So I thought maybe I had a wire that wasn't insulated properly, because I was also getting a clicking occasionally. I swapped the speaker over to the 2 machine on my desk sreaming the same content, and the sound was flawless on that machine. Uninstalled the card and went back to the on board audio from the MOBO, issue resolved. (Albeit without the soundcard)

Overall Review: I'll hang on to the card for a future build.

Nice little headset

Jabra WAVE Black Bluetooth Headset
Jabra WAVE Black Bluetooth Headset

Pros: Good sound, good in a moderately noisy environment. Comfortable, good battery life. I use this as my primary BT headset at work. I'm a seamstress and can use it when sewing.

Cons: I wish it had a voice commands and a voice prompt for low battery rather than a beep.

Best Plantronics BT HS

PLANTRONICS Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Noise-Cancelling Microphone / Multipoint / Up to 8 Hours Talk Time (Voyager 520)
PLANTRONICS Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Noise-Cancelling Microphone / Multipoint / Up to 8 Hours Talk Time (Voyager 520)

Pros: Good noise canceling. Decent battery life. We had a couple of Voyager 510s for my husband and myself. The 510 wasn't very good at noise canceling in a factory environment. The 520 rocks it in both factory and windy conditions. We've also had Jawbones before and they were uncomfortable. Plantronics makes a much more wearable product. Important as I wear mine all day at work. As always, Newegg rocks.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Good basic camera

FUJIFILM FinePix A700 Silver 7.3 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
FUJIFILM FinePix A700 Silver 7.3 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Bought this camera to do quick pix of work we do at our shop for both posting on the internet and to print out photos clients send us. Easy to use, easy to set up, intuitive menus, make this a nice basic point and shoot digital.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I recommend this to anyone looking for a good all around digital camera and a value price range.

Very good small office multi tasker

Canon PIXMA MP800 0581B002 30 ppm(approx. 2 seconds per page) Black Print Speed 9600 x 2400 dpi Color Print Quality USB InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer
Canon PIXMA MP800 0581B002 30 ppm(approx. 2 seconds per page) Black Print Speed 9600 x 2400 dpi Color Print Quality USB InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Really nice photo printing, better than I had expected. Fast B/W prints, good color printing.

Cons: Scanner is not to full legal size.

Overall Review: If have have small office needs, this machine does an excellent job. The 2 paper sources (1 tray, 1 top load) are nice if you need to switch between plain office paper and another specialty paper.
