Most Favorable Review

Bought 4, so far so good!!

Crucial BX500 120GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540 MB/s - CT120BX500SSD1
Crucial BX500 120GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540 MB/s - CT120BX500SSD1

Pros: When I purchased my fist 120gb SSD years ago it cost me over $200. Now this one is $23. I have purchased 4 of these in the past 2 months. Every one has worked great so far (knock on wood). I run a small computer repair business and the customers LOVE them. A nice economical way to bring new life to an older PC or Laptop.

Cons: No cons yet!!

Overall Review: Yes.... I recommend to all my customers. If they bring me a laptop or PC with a failed hard drive... I recommend one of these as a replacement!!

Most Critical Review

I used better

RiDATA 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Cake Box Model DRD+4716-RDCB1009
RiDATA 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Cake Box Model DRD+4716-RDCB1009

Pros: They were cheap. Newegg shipped them FAST.

Cons: I have used about 175 out of 2 spindles so far. Out of those 175 I have had 16 coasters!! A lot of the time Nero will go through the whole burn process and then can't perform the "end of disk" process. A lot of the time I will get an "unrecognized disk" right at the start of the burn. That still annoys me but at least I am not 10 minutes into the burn process with an error right at the end. I only burn at 8x.. And I have burn at once turned off because of the Nero out of memory error.

Overall Review: I have used plenty of other DVD's during this run of bad disks with no problem so I know its not my burners. I wont be buying RiDATA again anytime soon. I will keep using the ones I have and making coasters until they run out though!!

So far so good!!

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I bought 3 of these motherboards (2) from Newegg to replace bad ones in 3 HP computers. Missed the free replacement from HP by a month and 1 day. All 3 booted right up after assembly with no problems. Windows 7 found all of the drivers except the USB 3.0 Controller & the ethernet controller. But they were included and installed fine from the included software & driver CD.

Cons: The only con... NOT even worth taking away an egg. Was the placement on the board of the extra fan connector. It is near the front of the board. I had to extend the wire from the back mounted case fan to get it to reach. Not a big deal but had to do that with all 3 PC's I built.

Overall Review: It is a micro ATX board so not a whole lot of expansion spots. But for a good budged build I would buy another If I needed to.

Cons: Con? I'm not a Con.... I have a clean record...

Overall Review: At least this time it was free shipping..

Great stuff!!!!

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: Q6600 Core 2 Quad clocked to 3.0ghz... My idle temps were from 39 to 42 deg C (depending on the ambient temp of my room here in FLorida) at idle. Temps under 100% load were from about 61 to 65 most times with every once in awhile 67 if my room was a bit warm. After applying the Arctic Silver my idle temps went to 36 to 39 deg C. I wasn't too impressed at that point, but then I checked the temps under load.... WOW ... 50 to 55 deg C .. I then took my laptop apart... applied the paste and dropped the temps under load 5 to 6 deg.... LOVE THE STUFF..

Cons: Two cons..... 1: I hate re-attaching the heat sink and fan.... always a pain. 2: Says in the directions I have to shut off the PC to give the Arctic Silver a chance to set.... UGGGGGG where is the off button again? lol....

Overall Review: I live in Florida so sometimes the ambient temp gets a bit higher than I would like and raises the temp of the 4 cores especially when under load. So I thought i would give Arctic Silver a try...... GLAD I DID!!!

Great Drive FAST!!!

Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST3250310NS 250GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great drive, fast, quiet. Installed without a hitch. Can notice a HUGE speed difference over the drive that it replaced.

Cons: None that I can think of, wish I had one of these drives in all of my PC's.
