PPA 1134 PCMCIA to Compact Flash Adapter

Pros: Works in my Honda Civic EX's radio. I have 2 2GB CF cards that plug in fine for MP3's

Cons: none.. for my application

Overall Review: PC cards are getting rare...

Most Critical Review

Not a great device

Western Digital WD TV Live HD Media Player WDBAAN0000NBK-NESN
Western Digital WD TV Live HD Media Player WDBAAN0000NBK-NESN

Pros: Plays media when it feels like it...

Cons: I have to power it off about every hour because it just stops playing video.. especially on youtube. I have to physically remove the power cord because the remote switch doesn't reboot it.

Overall Review: This technology is advancing so quickly that this box will be obsolete soon if it isn't already!

First wide screen monitor for me...

SAMSUNG 24" TN LCD Monitor 2ms(GTG) D-Sub, DVI, HDMI P2450H
SAMSUNG 24" TN LCD Monitor 2ms(GTG) D-Sub, DVI, HDMI P2450H

Pros: Bright, nice size for my office desk. I have had no issues with quality.

Cons: No HDMI cable in the box... I used the DVI included but it is a little short. I will consider buying a longer HDMI cable in the future

Overall Review: I really like the height to width ratio of the monitor. It is like having dual monitors because I can easily put two applications side by side without crowding. I also use Solidworks solid modelling software and multi pane display is great on this monitor.

Works!

HyperX 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K6/12GX

Pros: Installed this kit on an ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard. No issues.. 100% trouble free. (3 months ago)

Cons: None

Overall good board

Pros: Good overall performance. Good price. blah blah and all the good shuff about NewEgg.

Cons: On board network failed after 3 months. Replacing with a riser card.. Not worth dealing with an RMA. The replacement card is cheaper than return shipping.

Great cards

SanDisk Ultra 2GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card
SanDisk Ultra 2GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card

Pros: I bought 2 and they work great for my application!

Cons: None.. except they could be a couple of dollars cheaper or had free shipping. Items like this could be sent 1st class mail cheaper. At the same time 2GB cards are starting to get scarce...

Overall Review: I use these for audio files in my 2008 Honda Civic EX's radio in conjunction with a PC Card adapter. My system won't work with anything larger than 2GB.
