COOLER MASTER RR-LCH-P9E1 92mm UFO CPU Cooler
COOLER MASTER RR-LCH-P9E1 92mm UFO CPU Cooler

Pros: Works great! It wasn't too expensive, and looks cool as hell. The thing is huge, but I have a large and roomy case, so that wasn't an issue. My CPU used to run really hot with the stock fan and heatsink, and the fan made so much noise, it was unbearable. It used to make this high pitched sound that you could hear everywhere in the house. It was horrible. This thing, while not quiet as a mouse, cut the noise level down almost entirely.

Cons: None so far (knock on wood)

Overall Review: Great unit, I highly recommend it.

Piece of Junk

CENTON MediaPower 32GB SD/SDHC Flash Card Model 32GBSDHC10
CENTON MediaPower 32GB SD/SDHC Flash Card Model 32GBSDHC10

Pros: Lots of space at a great price. What's not to love?

Cons: Turns out, everything. The card is very slow. A Class 10 card should be much faster. Also, a couple of months ago, the card simply stopped working. I used it in a tablet which I had hooked up to my car stereo. The card was loaded with music. Everything worked well until one day the card simply stopped cooperating. The tablet would not recognize it, and neither would any other device. I tried erasing, formatting, re-formatting, but nothing worked. It's absolutely useless.

Overall Review: I was originally going to buy a card from a manufacturer I was more familiar with, but I went with this one because it was cheaper and the reviews were pretty good. I don't like giving things negative reviews, but this card has left me no choice. I don't care about the money I paid for it. I don't care about the fact that it's kinda slow. I can live with all that. I can even live with the fact that all the music I spent a long time organizing is gone. But I can't live with the fact that the card is now useless. I'm not even gonna bother returning this card to CENTON, because I have no interest in them sending me another one. I am going to buy a card from a more trusted manufacturer with whose products I have had positive experiences.

This sucked

WD My Book Essential 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG1U5000N
WD My Book Essential 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG1U5000N

Pros: Huuuuuge capacity. Lots of bang for the buck. Hard deal to beat.

Cons: Sucked. I've had issues with this drive pretty much from day one. Folders would take forever to access, files would take even longer to open. Formatted it NTFS, FAT32, you name it, and things only got worse. I had cyclic redundancy errors, bad sectors, all kinds of stuff. I was very disappointed with this product. It now serves as a paper weight.

Overall Review: I tried using this as an internal hard drive as well as an external. Tried installing Windows on it, didn't work. Tried installing Mac OSX, that didn't work either. I don't think there ever was a time I was happy with this thing. Should've paid better attention to the return policy, cause now I am stuck with it. I even bought one from a store just to compare them, and it turns out that mine is SATA and the other one was IDE. It's like WD is just throwing random 500 GB drives in these enclosures and pushing them out the door. Will be calling WD soon.
