Most Favorable Review

Excellent Vid Card and great price!!!

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1367-TR GeForce GTX 460 SE (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1367-TR GeForce GTX 460 SE (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I have two desktop computers which previously contained the GeForce GTX 285 OC graphics cards. I purchesed two of these GTX 460 SE's for the purpose of running dual monitors on both machines (one computer now has both GTX 285's, the other has two GTX 460). These are installed non-SLI because my Mo board is a Asus P5E which doesn't support SLI (an SLI board is a future upgrade). So far the video card works like a dream. I've loaded up two instances of World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm on each monitor and ran them simultaneously. With graphics maxed out, both monitors were pushing 60-70 FPS. This card is about 1/3 smaller than the GTX 285, which is nice to have more room to run power cables inside the case. Computer Specs: Mo-Board: Asus P5e CPU: Intel Quad Core Socket 775 Memory: 4GB DDR2 1600/1333 Power: Coirsair 750W Video: GTX 285 x2 / GTX 460 x2 w/ dual 22" monitors

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I haven't tried overclocking this card yet, but i'm sure this card could put out some serious graphics OC'd, and for the price, it will make you so proud, you may even shed a tear!

Most Critical Review

Flaky right out of the box

WHISTLER Laser/Radar Detector
WHISTLER Laser/Radar Detector

Pros: This device has a load of features and [when it works] detects radar far enough away to prepare for speed traps. Color coded alerts so you know what type of radar its picking up by the color code. It has saved me more than once, but... (see cons)

Cons: This device must have an internal short or something because at random, it will go off, rotating from Ka band and Laser will full alert (meaning it thinks the detection signal is right on top of you) intermittently and annoy the driver. During this time, the speaker crakles as if it is overloading. The power button works when it wants to, I have to mash it and wiggle it hard enough just for it to turn on.

Overall Review: When i have the patience to put up with the random acts of illegitament alerts it works great and detects real speed traps. But those days when i'm already on edge, this thing gets unpluged when it acts up... Annoying

Mini remote for my Home Theater PC

Logitech diNovo Mini Black 63 Normal Keys Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
Logitech diNovo Mini Black 63 Normal Keys Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard

Pros: This mini keyboard is a unique way to utilize a handheld wireless keyboard for presentations, home use, and even gaming (i wouldn't recommend this one). Rechargable lithium battery that lasts roughly 30 days between charges with medium use.

Cons: The buttons and placement of characters and special keys are somewhat awkward and take a little getting used to. Browsing the web with this device is not an easy task. It is difficult to switch between "scrolling mode" and "mouse mode" to view web pages. The thomb mouse pad is flaky, the mouse jumps around randomly and scrolls short distances with each stroke(even on highest sensetivity) Lack of Function keys (F1-F12)

Overall Review: I would recommend using a wireless mouse with this as well and ignore the thumb mouse pad feature, its not that great.

A - Mazing!

Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Brewing System
Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Brewing System

Pros: This is by far one of the best Keurig K-cup coffee makers available. Features include adjustable brewing temp, cup size, programmable clock with auto-start and auto-shutoff, large (larger than most brewers) water tank. Water only button for tea brewing, and self storage for the reusable filter.

Cons: Price! The only reason I purchased this was because I had a gift card to knock the price down.

Overall Review: Great brewer, price is steap, but if you can wing it, you will not be disappointed

so-so

Car Mount Cell Phone Holder for HTC Droid Incredible
Car Mount Cell Phone Holder for HTC Droid Incredible

Pros: Has adjustable width so it can fit any phone with any size case including otter boxes.

Cons: The suction cup stopped "sucking" (which now makes the product suck) after about a month. The rubberized cone turned into a flat disk and would not hold up the device on the windshild. When it was mounted on the windshield, any bump in the road made the mount wiggle and bounce around and make additional noises (creaking, etc.).

Overall Review: This device comes with the option to attache the mount to one of your AC duct vents. This was nice because I can still use this device even though the suction cup failed.

Solid RPG Game

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim XBOX 360 Game Bethesda
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim XBOX 360 Game Bethesda

Pros: Bethesda did such an amazing job with the role play, environment details, and story content. You will completely fall in love with the storyline. I love how detailed Bethesda creates their games along with the AI design. This game is like a "good book", very hard to put down. The few glitches and sound leveling transitions are easily overlooked due to the awesome environment.

Cons: The auto save feature could be a little better. It sucks when you've been playing for 30 min and run into a bad wave. If your char dies you have to revert back to the last save. It auto saves everytime you enter and exit a cave, town, or building; however, if you are wandering around in the open world, you have to remember to save your progress often.
