Most Favorable Review

Great for overclocking and low profile

SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US
SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US

Pros: Unbeatable value for memory that overclocks like a dream. Low profile does not interfere with large Noctua heatsink yet RAM stays very cool and stable at 2000Mhz, [email protected]. Got it on sale at Newegg for awesome price (currently in stock here and still best price anywhere even without sale).

Cons: The only con so far is the lack of 8gb sticks but 4x4GB is proving pretty sufficient for even large Adobe CS6 projects.

Overall Review: RAM being used with Asus Sabertooth 990FX and AMD FX-8150

Most Critical Review

JUNK!

Cuisinart 5051812 18-pc Cutlery Set
Cuisinart 5051812 18-pc Cutlery Set

Pros: Nice wood block with built-in sharpener. Good assortment of blade types.

Cons: Numerous rust spots despite hand washing only as indicated (thank goodness for fine grit sand paper!). This indicates VERY poor quality stainless steel. Built-in sharpener is necessary since these knives go dull after little use even on vegetables with bamboo cutting board. NOT DISHWAHER SAFE (warning was added to description AFTER my purchase)? Give me a break! Even the super cheap Ginsu set I used 20 years ago in college was dishwasher safe, did not need to be sharpened for every use and still has zero rust.

Overall Review: 3 eggs for the wood block and 1 egg for the knives so 2 eggs average. Save your money and buy a better set or get a cheaper Ginsu block. I would not recommend this junk and will stay clear of Cuisinart products in the future. Sad, because they used to make decent kitchen gear. Now they are like IKEA in that they make pretty looking products that won't hold up and are poorly constructed with 2nd rate materials.

Fast USB drive!

Kingston DataTraveler G3 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (White & Blue) DTIG3/16GBZ
Kingston DataTraveler G3 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (White & Blue) DTIG3/16GBZ

Pros: Sleek, slim design does not cramp other USB devices. The cap stores on the end during use. Very fast read/write speeds as advertised. No useless software pre-installed. 16GB is more than all my old USB drives combined so the space is great.

Cons: I prefer a capless design for road warrior gear. The "key ring" slot on the end is too narrow to fit an actual key ring or lanyard. Plastic casing does not look like it will take any abuse like my Cruzer Titanium nor would it actually survive on a key ring. No support for transferring copyrighted material (hopefully a standard feature in G4 products!).

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend to any one that does not need a really rugged USB drive.
