It's a cable

Nippon Labs Premium 18" (1.5 ft.) SATA II Cable with locking latch for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.5ft Model SATA-L0.5-R 1.5 feet
Nippon Labs Premium 18" (1.5 ft.) SATA II Cable with locking latch for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.5ft Model SATA-L0.5-R 1.5 feet

Pros: Long enough for even hard to reach locations. Average flexibility.

Cons: The retaining clip is only on one END (and on one SIDE.) Not a problem since most connections on the MB are tight enough, it's the drive end that seems to want to come loose.

Overall Review: Buy several to "spread out" the cost of shipping, which is expensive for such a small/light item.

Good idea - Bad Build

Rosewill RCP-A03TU Dual Cigarette Outlet Adaptor with Dual USB Port at 2 Amp
Rosewill RCP-A03TU Dual Cigarette Outlet Adaptor with Dual USB Port at 2 Amp

Pros: Good idea gone bad. Two power outlets and two USB ports are quite usefull with todays portable electronics on the go.

Cons: Mine split in half too - had to super glue it back together to keep it safe and usable. The ratchet type elbow does not hold well and now it has lost it's set positions.

Overall Review: It works, mine still does, and it is useful - just don't pay full price or for shipping.

Good Value

HP All-in-One Computer EliteOne 705 G1 (T6K52US#ABA) AMD A6 PRO-7400B 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD 23" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit (available through downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro)
HP All-in-One Computer EliteOne 705 G1 (T6K52US#ABA) AMD A6 PRO-7400B 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD 23" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit (available through downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro)

Pros: Comes with Windows 7 Professional which is familiar to those upgrading from XP (finally.) All-in-one convenience (space saving, up off the floor, etc.) Sound is adequate for regular Windows beeps and boops.

Cons: Not touch screen (for when you opt to upgrade to Windows 10.) Could be faster (more RAM.) All-in-one's are harder to upgrade. plastic cover for bundling wiring below system is a pain to install (I leave it off.) HP bloatware eats up installed RAM - uninstall unnecessary and unwanted software. Keyboard and mouse are both wired.

Overall Review: Not a speed demon or in any way a gaming system but serves a home or small business well. Easy upgrade from XP and currently eligible to upgrade to Windows 10 for free (no knowledge of how it would perform after an upgrade to 10.)

Cramped

Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK - Mini ITX Tower / Desktop Computer Case - 250W Power Supply with Two (2) SATA Connectors and One (1) 20 + 4-Pin Connector
Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK - Mini ITX Tower / Desktop Computer Case - 250W Power Supply with Two (2) SATA Connectors and One (1) 20 + 4-Pin Connector

Pros: Neat small desktop size.

Cons: Power button is not lit - power and hard drive activity lights are inside small groves to the bottom right and barely visible. Full size hard drive installs I the bottom bay and negates the use of the front opening behind the bottom panel for let's say a card reader installation. A full size hard drive "butts" into any RAM module with a heatsink that extends over the top of the RAM. The top of the heatsink and fan for the CPU is less than a 1/2 inch away from the bottom of the power supply interfering with both the cooling of the power supply and the CPU.

Overall Review: I know size is the main reason to buy cases such as this, to minimize desktop space taken up by the computer but there are better designed cases out there that accomplish the same objective without sacrificing a good build.

Replace XP!!

HP 200-G1 Desktop PC (L5L54US#ABA) Pentium J2900 (2.41GHz) 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD Windows 7 Professional Pre-installed with Windows 8.1 Pro License
HP 200-G1 Desktop PC (L5L54US#ABA) Pentium J2900 (2.41GHz) 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD Windows 7 Professional Pre-installed with Windows 8.1 Pro License

Pros: Inexpensive replacement for outdated and unsupported XP systems. Fast enough. HD is big enough. Win 7 PRO is familiar enough to XP users. Can be upgraded to 10 for free.

Cons: Only three USB ports on the back, two are USB 2.0 and one is USB 3.0 - The mouse and keyboard included are USB and plugging them into the back leaves only one USB left for the printer or any other USB device. 2 USB ports on the front are 2.0

Overall Review: Easy to "run out of" USB ports for existing or current peripherals.

Horrible

Bundle Monster 4in1 For iPhone 5 ONLY Accessories-USB Cord Stylus Power Chargers
Bundle Monster 4in1 For iPhone 5 ONLY Accessories-USB Cord Stylus Power Chargers

Pros: Not a lot of money to waste.

Cons: Failed to charge after a few days

Overall Review: Not worth the cost to return it. Live and learn. Replaced it with an OEM product.

Bait and Switch?

I am sure I ordered the card with two USB 3.0 ports "out back" - but when I received the card it had no external ports, only the 20 pin internal connector. The card I received even came with a replacement bracket for a low profile case with openings for two ports that weren't there. When I rechecked my order at Newegg the picture was changed/corrected to show no external ports. I feel cheated. I originally ordered this card because the Corsair case I ordered needed a 20 pin internal conector so it wasn't worth the time, effort, hassle, expense to RMA this card.
