Awesome deal and powerful storage

Transcend 32GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS32GCF133
Transcend 32GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS32GCF133

Pros: Price and capacity are outstanding. Newegg had it to me in no time (competition was backordered and considerably more $$). I have been using a 16gb Sandisk Extreme III (rated at 133x) with my Canon DSLR. The camera can shoot around 3 pictures a second with Raw and jpg files totalling around 16mb each. Between the cameras buffer and the memory cards capacity I found the performance of this new 32gb card to be identical to the more expensive 16gb Sandisk. Awesome card!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: What else can I say - she is a great card - I have had other transcend cards and they have not stopped performing.

Most Critical Review

Update of older review

Transcend 32GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS32GCF133
Transcend 32GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS32GCF133

Pros: 32 Gigs - low price (now it is older)

Cons: Update of review - 3/11/2008 6:02:53 PM Warranty was Lifetime - now 2 years. Has company lost faith in its own product? My first card failed on me after about a year. had 16gigs of pics on it and would not format to more than 16gigs. No haggle replacement came but since then I made other arrangements as I lost confidence in this product. It sits in unopened package.

Overall Review: When your only job is to safely store and you do not do your job - then your value is diminished.

Plenty of HP

Pros: Plenty of room/Well laid out. Zero issues out of the box. More speed than I expected (and I was expecting a lot)

Cons: G.Skill ram was supplied with no sexy heat sinks like in the pic. I ordered 2 more sticks of ram with red sinks and now it just looks odd (not that anyone is looking in my case). LOUD - had read reviews that it is quiet - getting a whole lot of fan noise.

Overall Review: Not a gamer but needed something with plenty of power for photo editing. Last PC was a 6 processor AMD but this computer is night and day over the old. Some functions in Lightroom 4 and other image editing software would take an unreasonable amount of time (10 - 40 seconds) to process - this unit makes them instant. I added another 16gb or ram before first boot. Wish the SSD was a little larger but the Samsung unit supplied works well.

6 months and working perfect!!

Rosewill Black Solar Garden Lights - 6 Lights Set
Rosewill Black Solar Garden Lights - 6 Lights Set

Pros: Low cost and good performance. I was unsure how long these would last when I got them - certainly built to a price. But they are still shining bright at 5am.

Cons: Build quality is not high - but considering the price it is very decent. They will last a few years I imaging - considering what they do and where they are that is all I can ask!

Overall Review: I have had 2 sets for 6 months and I will be adding a few more sets. They are very easy to setup and work well. Surprised to see them bright at 5am. Certainly diminished performance on a cloudy day - only natural. These are great!!

Phenomenal!!

Transcend 64GB Compact Flash (CF) 400X Flash Card Model TS64GCF400
Transcend 64GB Compact Flash (CF) 400X Flash Card Model TS64GCF400

Pros: 64Gigs is a whole lot of pics. Great to be able to shoot all day without worrying about changing cards. I have used this to replace 4 x 16gb cards. So much easier to keep track of one card. Shoot RAW on 7D and takes some effort to hit the buffer. Great to have a card that will keep up and hold it all. Have not had any issues or concerns - 50 000 pics through it so far.

Cons: Could always be a lower price but I feel I got more than what I paid for.

Overall Review: Nothing more unprofessional than seeing a pro photographer stopping to change memory cards (or batteries) mid shoot. If your juggling multiple cards during a shoot then your doing your client a disservice.

Very decent value for residential trimmer

(Reconditioned) HUSQVARNA 28cc Gas Line Grass Lawn Trimmer (128CD)
(Reconditioned) HUSQVARNA 28cc Gas Line Grass Lawn Trimmer (128CD)

Pros: Condition was like new. No real evidence of past use/abuse. Quick connect was a real plus for me as it exact fits a pole saw I purchased from Poulan Pro (whos motor died). So I feel like I got a 2 for 1. Starts easy. Think I will need to tweak the carb as it needs choke longer than I would expect. But easy to start and operate.

Cons: Really cannot say I have encountered any.

Overall Review: I have many Husky products (even their biggest 65cc clearing saw). While this unit might not be of the same commercial caliber other units are. It cost $75 - I have paid more than that just to ship other units. I did have to ask just how they make a profit off this as the 6ft long box must have cost half the price just to ship.
