Love it

GWC Model AP1305-BG USB to Parallel Cable (Bi-Directional)
GWC Model AP1305-BG USB to Parallel Cable (Bi-Directional)

Pros: Just works... attached to an HP laserjet 4, and it just worked perfectly, even under win7 x64. No drivers to install. Once attached, simply add the printer, and you are good to go.

Cons: N/A

Most Critical Review

Doesn't last

LSI LSI00161 MegaRAID LSIiBBU07 Battery Backup Unit for 8880EM2, 9260-xx and 9280-xx--Avago Technologies
LSI LSI00161 MegaRAID LSIiBBU07 Battery Backup Unit for 8880EM2, 9260-xx and 9280-xx--Avago Technologies

Pros: N/A

Cons: These have a very high, totally unacceptable rate of failure... On 2 seperate cards, I have gone thru 6 of these BBUs in a year and a half. Now they have all failed, and I am not getting any more. All my systems are on UPS, so I don't care anymore.

Overall Review: I phones customer support for LSI a number of times, and even they confirm the high rate of failure. I love the base RAID cards, but these BBUs really are horrible.

Fantastic

WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN
WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN

Pros: Man is this a great device. I had other streamers in the past by cinematube, and I thought they were good, but this is so much better. Plays AVIs that the cinematube couldn't. Plays everything i can throw at it (except wtv files). The extra services tho are the best, netflix, hulu plus, youtube, games... all great. My plan is to use this when travelling... much better in a hotel room than their really bad services. Oh, and added bonus, there is an iDevice app that you can use as a remote replacement, works over local wifi. That is really sweet.

Cons: The firmware update takes a long time, I recommend doing it with a USB stick

Overall Review: Just get it....

Works great

CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS Systems - 1350VA/880W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, Sine Wave, 12 Outlets, LCD, PowerPanel
CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS Systems - 1350VA/880W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, Sine Wave, 12 Outlets, LCD, PowerPanel

Pros: Came fully charged Doesn't need the power management software, but is still good, stable software. Pure sine wave, this is what you want when you are hooking it up to a computer or TV

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: On one side of the device, the sockets are only for surge supression, not UPS, but this is good for things like printers, and all monitors except one, and other non-essential equipment. The other side is dedicated to the UPS, which is good for adding your router, computer, and main monitor, and other relatively low draw, essential equipment.

Works fine in win7

EnGenius EUB9801 Dual-Band Wireless N Adapter 300Mbps on 2.4GHz or 300Mbps on 5GHz, USB 2.0, WPS Button
EnGenius EUB9801 Dual-Band Wireless N Adapter 300Mbps on 2.4GHz or 300Mbps on 5GHz, USB 2.0, WPS Button

Pros: Just plug it in, don't use the CD. Windows recognizes it and used it right away. You need to use WPA2 if you want full speed on 802.11n

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Best ROI out there... would have been nice to have a USB extention cable, but not a big deal

Worked Perfectly

G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBSQ

Pros: Took 5 min to install in my HP DM4T machine. 4 to 8 GB. Reran WinSAT and went from 5.9 to 6.9 for the RAM rating.

Cons: None

Overall Review: All I can say is sweeeet.
