Acronis works great as an imaging software

Acronis True Image Home 2012
Acronis True Image Home 2012

Pros: Allows me to easily create an image of a computer hard drive. I haven't ran across a computer that it didn't work in yet, and I've used it on more than 100 desktops and laptops.

Cons: Don't use the buggy version of the disc out of the retail box. Make sure you register and download the latest version of the software before you use it.

Overall Review: Many times I have had to change the SATA mode (legacy, normal, AHCI, RAID) before Acronis would see the hard drives. I have been using Acronis home and Acronis Enterprise for years. Make sure you register to update the boot disc before using, otherwise you will definitely have many problems.

Ordered two, one is DOA

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: The drive that is working fine is great.

Cons: One of the two drives worked for a couple days, and then a SMART error. I downloaded the Seagate diagnostic software, and it fails the tests.

Overall Review: BTW, Seagate's online RMA process is very easy. Newegg has setup an RMA for the bad drive for a full refund. I just ordered another for the same price to replace the bad one.

Excellent overclocker

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard

Pros: Overclocks an Allendale from 1.8Ghz to 2.9Ghz without a hitch. I'm sure I could push it a lot more if necessary.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: When first powered up, it does a weird quick power off and on. It seems as though it does this more often when changing overclocking parameters.

Excellent overclocker

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 - Core 2 Duo Allendale Dual-Core 1.8 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E4300

Pros: Runs great on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L at 2.9 without a hitch. I'm sure I could push it a lot harder if necessary.

Cons: None.

Excellent device.

Pros: This product is awesome. It lets me know how much electricity any 120v device is using, therefore knowing how much it costs me.

Cons: None.

Works great.

Pros: Camera looks great and sound quality is good. I can watch my pets behave themselves while I'm at work. ;)

Cons: Can see (only) a still picture even without successfully logging into the camera with username and password.
