Very versatile
Pros: Made congri, a Cuban dish made with uncooked white rice mixed with cooked black beans, chopped onions, green peppers and condiments. The whole project was an experiment and I had low expectations, but came out great.
Cons: The measuring cup it comes with is misleading. The 1 cup mark does not hold 8 oz, so I use my own measuring cup. The right amount of outside water needed for steam is an experiment for some types of rice.
Overall Review: Keep a record of how much outside water works best for each type of rice that you cook.
Jiggle, joggle and wiggle
Pros: Size
Cons: It may go in correctly, or it may not.. mostly not. Connector has a big mechanical problem and won't align with host USB connectors. Tried on 3 different systems, and had to play with it to get it to work. Not worth it at any price.
No Problems Found
Pros: Bought this case because have used the bigger brother for 3.5 HDD at work for 2 years and it can stand the daily abuse. This unit works with my 250GB WD Scorpio Black without hick-ups. Both eSata and USB2.0 work well for my desktop and Media Center. HDD is held securely to a PCB with four screws, then two screws secure the PCB to the case. No rattle there. Aluminum keeps the case cool.
Cons: The carrying pouch was not designed to accept the case and the cables. Hard to zip with everything in it, and puts a lot of stress on the zipper. Problem would be solved if the USB cable was shorter and not Y-ended. Still giving it 5 eggs.
Overall Review: Overall very satisfied.
Rebate denied!
Pros: Great HD resolution at 1080p. Bought this monitor October 2007, came out of the box perfect, and it's been working well ever since.
Cons: No DVI input. The usual useless legacy video inputs are included. Gets a 4 for that.
Overall Review: Buy this monitor based on actual newegg price - you may not get the rebate. I did everything down to a T and Westinghouse decided after a few months of thought not to honor the rebate.
