Very versatile

TATUNG Multi-Functional Cooker and Steamer, White, 12 Cups cooked//6 Cups uncooked,TAC-06G(SF)
TATUNG Multi-Functional Cooker and Steamer, White, 12 Cups cooked//6 Cups uncooked,TAC-06G(SF)

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

Kingston DataTraveler Mini 10 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Blue) DTM10/8GB
Kingston DataTraveler Mini 10 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Blue) DTM10/8GB

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

Vantec NexStar 3 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure (Onyx Black) - Model NST-260SU-BK
Vantec NexStar 3 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure (Onyx Black) - Model NST-260SU-BK

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!

Westinghouse 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, HDMI-HDCP, Composite, S-Video, YPbPr L2410NM
Westinghouse 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, HDMI-HDCP, Composite, S-Video, YPbPr L2410NM

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.
