Great Drive, BUY IT!

SanDisk 32GB Cruzer CZ36 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ36-032G-B35)
SanDisk 32GB Cruzer CZ36 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ36-032G-B35)

Pros: Capless design, 'big enough', reliability.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've used SanDisk Cruzer flashdrives since they came out, I still have a 2GB that I constantly use and it's out lasted three computers. At first I thought the slide models (no cap) may break easily, not an issue and there is no cap to lose. The slide is all red and not white as shown. As of right now, November 2011, if you can find a USB Flash drive for less than a dollar a Gig it's worth looking at. I also don't do 'speed tests since I've never done a baseline on all of the different computers and ports and this one is fast enough for me. I used this to backup my complete system and files on my netbook that came with no software and it took less than 15 minutes while I was doing something else. I wanted a solid back up not a speed demon.

ZVOX 420 Sound Box

ZVOX SoundBase 420 Single-Cabinet Surround Sound Speaker
ZVOX SoundBase 420 Single-Cabinet Surround Sound Speaker

Pros: Pretty easy to set up. GREAT SOUND! Needed to change the sound setting on the Dish Set up to PCM Audio and connected it with a Digital Coax cable.

Cons: It came with every cable you may need EXCEPT a Digital Coax cable.

Overall Review: My wife's hearing is getting pretty poor and she had trouble hearing the dialog over the background 'noises' and would just keep turning the sound up and blasting me out of the room. The ZVOX solved that problem instantly. It's nice to be able to hold a conversation without yelling and without getting a headache!

Update from 4 to 5 stars

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: I'm updating b/c of Corsairs FANTASTIC Customer Service. It still runs quiet and has powered up to 4 HDD, 1 SSD and 1 DVD-R without any problems. Love it !!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Just be careful of the SATA connectors. They replaced mine on a 'no return' RMA

The Keyboard was worth it.

Pros: The keyboard is just what I wanted. Love all of the shortcut keys!

Cons: The mouse kept not responding. Not happy with that but I had planned on getting a wireless Trackball mouse anyway. Not worth sending it back.

Overall Review: I bought this for the wireless features but primarily for the keyboard. I've been using a wired Logitech Trackball for years and love it. I'll get the wireless version of it at a later date.

Runs Great and can recognize 32 Gb

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Pros: Runs great and faster than XP (which I loved b/c of stability) . I have all of my old XP files on a 2nd HD and can still open and run them too. I'm still getting used to where MS put all of the tasks but that will just take time.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's Windows and all of the aftermarket gears towards working with it. I did use this before in a Tech class but I'm still not 100% familiar with all of the tweaks yet.

GSKILL - Impressive stuff!!

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

Pros: It works! My ASUS MB saw it as 1600 right off the bat and no problems at all. With a CAS Latency of 8 it's the fastest at this price point.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wish I could have gotten 2 sets!
