Most Favorable Review

3 years and still going!

AOC FC-2000 PCI Slot Case Cooler
AOC FC-2000 PCI Slot Case Cooler

Pros: I have this in an old Dell Dimension 2450 I converted into a server. This thing is on 24/7/365 still quiet, still blowing, still going. Helps pull the nice cool air from the back of the closet and blow it out the front without a ton of noise like some of the higher RPM 80mm fans. I would highly recommend this to extend the life of your poorly ventilated pre-assembled mass produced POC computer.

Cons: Absolutely none whatsoever.

Overall Review: For the price you get a cheap feeling but fantastically performing product!

Most Critical Review

An OK set of phones but better alternatives exist

Sennheiser Black CX200 3.5mm Connector Canal Stereo Headphone
Sennheiser Black CX200 3.5mm Connector Canal Stereo Headphone

Pros: These are pretty nice with only OK sound and a pretty good feel. Nice and light weight great for working out.

Cons: Again only OK sound and I guess they have an asymmetrical design which I don't prefer but hey that's how they're made. Also the sound is somewhat flat even when well fit within the ear canal. Almost sound veiled even though they do not have nearly the impedance to have the famous Sennheiser veil.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend some Sennheiser CX300's if you can find them. Very similar fit and much better sound. The main reason I got these is because they lack the metal band near the ear that the CX300's have. Odd as it sounds that metal band on the 300's ground the in-ear monitor. When running on a treadmill using the attached radio/TV I would get a small shock unless grounding myself to the heart monitor; but I digress. Get the CX300's if you're not running on a treadmill (Matrix Brand) and using their TV. But if you are using that darn TV get these. Sound is somewhat flat for my liking and there are better alternatives!

Hangover Cure

Newegg Crispy Bacon
Newegg Crispy Bacon

Pros: Had a wicked party the other day and thought of no better way to counter this than with a pack of Newegg crispy bacon. Combine this with a side of Neweggs and their matching biscuits and it's quite the spectacle to behold. If you thought being a nerd would never get you babes, pick up this item and they'll flock to you like you just bought that sweet "Three Wolves Howling at the Moon" t-shirt.

Cons: I like my bacon a little more chewy and a little less crispy. Little on the pricy side however the quality of the smoking done to this fine pork belly is exquisite.

Egg Arrived DOA

Test 033
Test 033

Pros: My eggs arrived DOA! While one of the eggs came with a severely compromised shell the other two were quite exquisite. I will be submitting an RMA and will update when I've had a chance to actually do something with these. Build: 1x Cast Iron Skillet ~400F 1 Tbsp Margarine 2 Pieces Toast 1 Spatula 2x Newegg Eggs P.S. I deglazed the eff out of that pan.

Cons: Not Faberge but you get what you pay for. Also I'm still waiting to get my rebate back from the company!

Overall Review: Would like to see this come in a variety of other models such as "3gg5 B3n3d1c7 w174 h0114nd4153." Or at the very least a DIY kit to assist the new building in creating the various outcomes.

Great game, easy to learn even for newer players.

Wii Game
Wii Game

Pros: The wife doesn't necessarily love to play video games like I do. But even she found herself hooting and giggling at the fun this game provides. While she hates virtually any learning curve whatsoever in a game this one is so minimal even she enjoys it. Great for multiply players! Really enjoyed the added power-ups and sometimes the in-game group interaction! We laughed until our sides hurt.

Cons: If you're playing with a bunch of a newer players they can get sometimes quite annoying as you feel like you're pulling them along and they provide the greatest roadblock to enjoyment. However maybe they're supposed to be there for the added difficulty factor?

Cools well and worth the cash.

Vantec Spectrum Fan Card with Dual 70mm Adjustable UV LED Fans - Model SP-FC70-BL
Vantec Spectrum Fan Card with Dual 70mm Adjustable UV LED Fans - Model SP-FC70-BL

Pros: I've owned this expansion slot cooler for quite some time and must say it performs quite admirably. I originally put it in my Dimension 2450 blowing on a continually overheating GPU which would cause system freezes to prevent further damage to the unit. After putting a box fan on the case I finally decided to get this. This worked equally as well as the box fan for the GPU. I then upgraded my computer and while playing some games noticed the GPU was still getting pretty revved. So I again put this on it and BAM cool as cuke.

Cons: On high this thing sounds like an F-18. It will destroy you in the air and deploy its ordinance to the ground.
