Wonderful card

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GV-R485ZL-512H
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GV-R485ZL-512H

Pros: Excellent cooling with the Zallman cooler, I haven't had the temp go over 38C maxed out on COD.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I love this card, I almost went with another model but after reading how hot the 4850 gets I opted for this model. I couldn't be more pleased with the card.

Slow drive

PNY Optima SSD7SC240GOPT-RB 2.5" 240GB SATA III Synchronous-Mode Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
PNY Optima SSD7SC240GOPT-RB 2.5" 240GB SATA III Synchronous-Mode Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Cheap

Cons: slow

Overall Review: Don't believe the reviews that show fast read or write. Use a utility that measures speed on both empty and full parts of drive. This drive has good performance reading blank areas, what good does that do you? I opened a ticket with support and they said 100 MB/S was average. Buy a Samsung, I did and the comparison was night and day. this drive is now for data storage only.

Great set

Pros: Inexpensive, Stainless, work well

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have used these for over a year, work great. I don't run them through the dishwasher so I can't comment on that but they do a great job. When they start to dull just run them across the included sharpening steel and you will be back to new. I had to laugh when the Cutco salesman came over and couldn't find anything wrong with them...

Amazing drive

SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Lightning fast, great migration utilities included

Cons: none

Overall Review: I purchased this drive after purchasing the PNY first. Big mistake on the PNY, I am sending it back RMA. This drive gave me 529 MB read, 510MB write speeds out of the box. I couldn't get more than 210 out of the PNY.

Excellent product

Kensington K39552US PowerBolt 2.1 A Micro USB Car Charger for Kindle Fire, includes one micro usb cable

Pros: amperage, heavy cable,

Cons: None

Overall Review: I purchased these to charge my Samsung phone. Not how they are advertised but the high amperage charge rate allows me to use my phone and charge it while driving. I set my phone in a windshield mount and run Waze to keep an eye on traffic. I use a blue tooth headset and can talk, navigate, and charge all at the same time. My previous USB charger would not keep up while running Waze and would allow the phone to discharge even while plugged in.

Good Buy

Pros: Lowest price for an i5 I could find, machine works as advertised.

Cons: Refurbished but I knew that going in. My only complaint about that is I am used to other mfg. making the refurbs look like new. This one wasn't bad other than the stickers on the front were obviously worn from rubbing. Perfect for a college student.
