Most Favorable Review

Good monitor for the price

ASUS VS248H-P 24" 1920 x 1080 Full HD VGA DVI HDMI Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free LED Backlit LCD Monitor
ASUS VS248H-P 24" 1920 x 1080 Full HD VGA DVI HDMI Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free LED Backlit LCD Monitor

Pros: With a 2ms response this monitor is ready for high end gaming. The HDMI port is nice if you wish to also utilize it to display from a cable box. Ports coming straight out allow you to tie them together and hide behind the stand to keep your desk looking clean.

Cons: A display port would top off this unit.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this monitor for budget or those looking to easily get two monitor system.

Most Critical Review

Stripper

StarTech.com RJ4511TOOL RJ45 RJ11 Crimp Tool with Cable Stripper
StarTech.com RJ4511TOOL RJ45 RJ11 Crimp Tool with Cable Stripper

Pros: VERY sharp blades, strong crimper.

Cons: The guard makes it difficult to cut the wire in line. However, once the guard is removed, it makes all the difference. Don't know if your supposed to do that or not.... Just easier than trying to find your cutters and one less tool to carry.

Overall Review: Requires a little extra pressure at the end to fully seat the pins. Not sure if in design of if by the type of RJ45 connectors being utilized.

Solid performer

Rosewill BRONZE Series, RBR1000-MS, 1000W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE, Blue LED Dual-Ball-Bearing Fan, ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black
Rosewill BRONZE Series, RBR1000-MS, 1000W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE, Blue LED Dual-Ball-Bearing Fan, ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: Case material is of good quality, paint does not flake or chip when installing Modular design is great for keeping a clean and tidy case Wires are of a soft material, so your not having to bend rebar around for cable management Lots of included extra's like the parts bag. It is never good when you loose a modular PSU cable. SLI/CrossFire is great, have two 770Ti's in my case.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Most people do not think of Rosewill for PSU's. Their cases are top notch, and they have shown that tradition in this PSU.

Reliable and solid performance

IOGEAR GCS632U  2-Port KVM Switch with built-in KVM Cables and Audio Support (US packaging version)

Pros: Never have an issue with ghost keys Has always been an inexpensive and reliable KVM No software or drivers needed No visible display quality loss by using this median device

Cons: None

Overall Review: Perhaps a mounting bracket would be a nice touch or some included velcro strips for cable management. I highly recommend this product for any type of setup. I have used these between two servers, along with on my home work bench.

Excellent for your cell phone

ADATA 64GB Premier microSDXC UHS-I / Class 10 Memory Card with SD Adapter, Speed Up to 50MB/s (AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1)

Pros: Fast read/write speeds Very dependable.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Newegg provides this at the cheapest price. With that it is a great deal for the amount of storage you receive. Highly recommend this product.

Sturdy and fast for the price

Silicon Power 128GB Blaze B05 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SP128GBUF3B05V1D)
Silicon Power 128GB Blaze B05 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SP128GBUF3B05V1D)

Pros: Solid build, do not fear the loop or ring tearing the attachment point. Securely fastens into the exposed position, does not fall back inside itself when inserted into a USB slot

Cons: Read speeds are sufficient, however are not full USB 3.0 speeds (tested with multiple iso's to allow for steady data transfer) Speeds are even slower when you are transferring numerous small files such as pictures to a PC

Overall Review: I would recommend this drive if you are looking for storage over speeds. Its sturdy design and features do compensate well, and has already been washed. Gain detergent does not phase it, nor a quick spin cycle. If your always in a hurry, the read/write speeds will become your only issue.
