Good fan, Excellent price
Pros: Very bright, very red. Looks pink in the picture, but when powered up gives off very nice red glow. Like the sleeve on the power cable. I don't think they are very noisy, but that's probably a subjective thing. They do move a fair amount of air.
Cons: Not much of a con; the power leads could be a few inches longer. Had a little trouble getting one of them to the power connector.
Overall Review: I bought two of these for my new computer. Liked them so much I ordered two more for my older computer.
Runs better with stock fan
Pros: Pretty red fan. Heatsink appeared bigger than my stock one.
Cons: I turned on my computer, running an Intel Prescott 2.8ghz not OC'd. My cpu temp was 33 degrees celcius. Put on the new heatsink and fan. When I checked my temp, it was 60 degrees celsius. I couldn't believe my eyes. Removed heatsink, cleaned off the stock grease, put on Arctic Silver 5. Made no difference, still running at 60 degrees celcius. Put my stock fan back on, temp dropped back to 33 degrees celcius. That's almost 50 degrees farenheit hotter. Would return but not worth it.
Overall Review: Maybe I was doing something wrong. Can't imagine what. I took my old heatsink off, put on new one, temp soared. When I took the new heatsink off, I could see that the grease was in good contact with my cpu. Put old heatsink on, temp dropped. Unless someone knows something I don't, I could not reccommend this heatsink and fan at this time.
Heavy duty wall mount
Pros: Arrived in a timely manner. Large enough so that I was able to attach to 3 wall studs. Had all the hardware I could ask for and then some. Installed easily enough.
Cons: No built in level, but was not an inconvenience.
Overall Review: My tv is 110 lbs, this is suppose to hold 220 lbs. So it should support my tv with no problems. (It is so far). I've not had any problems tilting either up or down, however I have had help when doing so.
Lots of room
Pros: Good price,$10.00 off normal, lots of room, free shipping. Came very fast, (as usual).
Cons: Nothing so far.
Overall Review: If WD gets their terabyte or higher HD,s up to this level of customer satisfaction, would like to get one of them.
Very satisfied
Pros: Nice look and feel. Easy install, just plug the receiver into a usb port and it does the rest. Has very good range. Mouse seems to have an idle mode where it flickers the led, I can only assume this is so it doesn't have a constant drain on the battery. Deffinitely like the off/on switches.
Cons: Only con I can think of so far is I can't use the middle button/scroll wheel as a double click. I have a logitech TrackMan and I've gotten accustomed to the middle double click. Not a big problem and I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker. I took one egg off for that otherwise I would've given all 5 eggs.
Overall Review: Was surprised to find out mouse and keyboard only need 1 AA battery each. I received a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse for xmas. Absolutely terrible range. Wireless in name only. Even with the receiver against the keyboard I still get warnings that the signal strength is very low. Even with new batteries. It goes thru batteries at an accelerated rate. Supposed to last up to 6 months. I've been lucky to get a month. Has no off/on switch.
Great inexpensive cable.
Pros: At 50 feet it was plenty long enough to run from my router, in my basement, to my tv upstairs with room to spare. Receiving internet tv and movies with excellent quality.
Cons: As someone already pointed out, it's a real bear unplugging it from the lan jack on my computer. But then, how often do you really intend to move your computer around.
Overall Review: For the money, this is a great value. Cost me more for the shipping.
