Most Favorable Review

Great

Rexus PST-2 20/24pin Power Supply Tester
Rexus PST-2 20/24pin Power Supply Tester

Pros: Works, and very easy to use.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This thing is very small, about 4" long. Some PSU's don't register on the -5v light and still work. That is because -5v is only used on older/expensive PSU's and is not needed today.

Most Critical Review

Buggy and No Performance Difference

Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card – 10/100/1000Mbps PCI Network Adapter -- Less Game Lag, Smoother Gameplay
Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card – 10/100/1000Mbps PCI Network Adapter -- Less Game Lag, Smoother Gameplay

Pros: Nothing

Cons: There was no noticeable difference in performance or ping. What makes it worse is the Killernic wasn't compatible with most of the games I played (Chaser, Battlefield series, UT3, etc.) These games would never load their server browser list, or if they did the pings would all show 999, and the only way to fix that was to run Killernic in comparability mode which negates the performance enhancement (if there ever was). Also, the ping throttle doesn't work and crashes most games, and most of the FNA apps don't work the way they are supposed to. Check out their forums and see for yourself.

Overall Review: I made sure to use their newest drivers and followed the install directions exactly. I have a Q6600 cpu and GTX 260 gpu, Windows XP. Product returned.

Awesome

CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler - Intel Only (CW-9060006-WW)

Pros: Keeps my Q6600 g0 @ 3.44ghz 1.42v at ~65c max load, and that is with it setup to exhaust the air out of my case.

Cons: None

Good

AOC FC-2000 PCI Slot Case Cooler
AOC FC-2000 PCI Slot Case Cooler

Pros: I put this 2 slots under my Radeon 5850 and it dropped its temps ~5c.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: From the other reviews I was expecting it to be noisy, but in my case I can't even hear it.

Great For The Money

SONIC HP-259 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset
SONIC HP-259 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset

Pros: *Very comfortable! *Audio quality is better than expected *Mic works acceptably.

Cons: *None for this price

Overall Review: The build quality isn't that great and mic boost had to be turned on to get good mic quality on my system. However, for this price I'm still very satisfied with my purchase.
