Simple, Bright, Worth It!

Rosewill RSL-120 33' Solar Decorative String Lights, 100pcs White LED, White Cable
Rosewill RSL-120 33' Solar Decorative String Lights, 100pcs White LED, White Cable

Pros: Very simple to figure out and use. I love the multiple methods for mounting the solar panel. Lasts for a long time after a sunny day. Turns on automatically which is great. I have this set up as porch lighting at my cabin which is off the grid. Enough light on my porch to read, play cards, scare off trespassers (which happens frequently)

Cons: Very few cons to mention. Panel appears very waterproof and was soaked in water about an hour after installation but worked perfect. I feel the cable is a little thin, but made hooking to a strap easy.

Overall Review: A very simple and cheap method to add some light to an area that does not have power.

Absolute GARBAGE

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T-B1-GR NVIDIA Tegra 3 1.60GHz 10.1" 1GB DDR3 Memory 32GB Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Gray Tablet PC
ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T-B1-GR NVIDIA Tegra 3 1.60GHz 10.1" 1GB DDR3 Memory 32GB Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Gray Tablet PC

Pros: This tablet hs a great set of features, but none of that matters when you have to send it back to ASUS twice in a month, and then have the wrong tablet returned to you by their horible tech support.

Cons: EVERYTHING! The bezel is never properly sealed to the case, there are graphics issues galore, the tablet will randomly reboot during google searches, and my dual core cellphone performs most functions faster than this tablet can.

Overall Review: ASUS tech support is horrible. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I spent almost 3 hours on tech support , to be hung up on twice by a supervisor, only to be told I would need to return the tablet again, and to add insult to injury, they sent me someone else's tablet in return. They strewed UP!

A fantastic 3D monitor!

HP 2311gt Black 23" 5ms HDMI  Widescreen LED 3D Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 3,000,000:1 with 3D glasses
HP 2311gt Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LED 3D Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 3,000,000:1 with 3D glasses

Pros: Very bright, crisp, vibrant monitor. 3D effect is excellent, great depth, and the passive glasses cause no eye strain and never need charging. Crysis 3 (would that be Crysis 3D?) looks fantastic in stereoscopic 3D.

Cons: My only complaint about the monitor itself is that when you wear the glasses while on the desktop, everything looks kinda blurry and only half rendered. I know its because of the passive film on the display. Once you pop the glasses off everything is sharp again. Even with glasses off, if you are sitting close you can see very slight lines on the display, but it in no way is distracting or very obvious. The TriDef Ignition 3D software is pretty cool, it does upconvert non-3D games to 3D, but it is not always 100% compatible.

Overall Review: This is a great monitor for a home user or anyone who enjoys watching 3D content at home in HD without the flicker of active glasses. I would not reccomend this to anyone who does photoshop or graphic design work. The passive film on the display will distort the color/display accuracy.

Overall Review: you probably wont use all 8 gb. consider if this is the right size for you!

Best CPU You Can Buy!

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: First note that i have had this product for a long time. 6 Months to be exact! This is by far the BEST processor you can buy. I was an AMD fanboy for many years, but after looking at Intel's future plans, I bought in. I am so impressed with this product, as well as the Atom processor, i bought 1,000 shares of Intel. This processor runs very cool (23C) and has a great stock heatsink. Easy to overclock to 3.0GHz (if you liquid cool) but runs great at Stock speed.

Cons: I have NO Complaints about this product. I own 2 of these processors and am very impressed with them. I run a small computer building business, and recomend this processor to ALL of my gamer clients. I

Overall Review: f you are a casual computer user, you will still love this processor, due to its excellent SMP (symetrical Multi-Processing) power. Being able to run programs on 4, thats right FOUR diffrent Afinities is wonderful! However for cost savings i would recomend the Duo core to a consumer user. Also, this processor runs incredible on Prime 95. Folding@home also pumps out work units like no other! BUY THIS! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Samsung Lightscribe Drive

SAMSUNG Black 18X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 18X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner With LightScribe Technology

Pros: You really can't go wrong when buying a Samsung drive these days. With a low price, and lots of high tech features, not to mention lightscribe, Samsung drives are a great value. This is one of the quietest drives i have ever owned, and it has a good read and write speed.

Cons: Lightscribe write times seem to be a little on the slow side. Also: Newegg sent me this product with a Drives CD slashed by a box cutter. They were kind enough to send a replacement within two days. Thank you!

Overall Review: The SATA interface is nice, although there is no difference in write speeds. My only complain is a lack of a Molex 12V connector. I only have 3 SATA power ports on a Thermaltake 750W PSU, and i have 3 1/2 TB HDDS. I had to disconnect one of the drives (luckily I wasn't using) in order to hook up this drive. Nice for Modders (like me) who want to keep their case looking neat!
