Most Favorable Review

Good value for the money

Bgears b-Vigor RGB Black Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with RGB Front Panel
Bgears b-Vigor RGB Black Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with RGB Front Panel

Pros: RGB case light with buttonLightweight compact caseMy pockets

Cons: No manualBlocks secondary SATA ports on a B560 mATX mobo(which I don't use)Missing cable management ports where the motherboard sits?

Overall Review: This is a good value case. Power users with stacking SATA ports on the right hand side of mobo may want to look for something bigger. Remember to use resetsw motherboard connector from the case and connect it behind HD caddy. The two pins are sticking out for the led at the bottom. If you don't do this you will get a white led and not RGB.

Works when it wants to...

SUPER TALENT Pico_C 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) STU4GPCS
SUPER TALENT Pico_C 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) STU4GPCS

Pros: Fast when it wants to work. Tiny.

Cons: Works when it wants to - Disappears and reappears at crucial write times. Out of all the USB's i've dealt with this is the worst. From Chinese knock-off's to high end drives, i cannot trust this drive at all. I currently own over 50 drives and found that regular sized USB's work best and are reliable. Not good for Ready Boost.

Overall Review: Vista Ultimate x64

TV Revolution

Logitech Revue With Google TV
Logitech Revue With Google TV

Pros: The best media player I have ever encountered. It plays MKV, MP4, AVI files from external hard drive with no lag or stutter. It carries a nice Atom processor for speedy play. Menu interface is customizable, many options available. The wireless keyboard/mouse is nice and intuitive. Wireless is good and Android OS is great. The TV integration is a big PRO as it provides you with picture-in-picture while browsing sites (Yeah, it’s that awesome).

Cons: 1. Menu selection can be a bit slow. 2. Also, while Wireless-G is decent a [email protected] is preferable. 3. No power on/off button so it always has to stay on unless you unplug it.

Overall Review: $300 to $99 is a no-brainer.

Fast
