Opteka T2 T-Mount Lens Adapter for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras

Pros: Works as intended

Cons: none

Overall Review: looks like there is extra threading on this for other applications

Most Critical Review

Drops wired connection

TRENDnet TEW-639GR Wireless Gigabit Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps
TRENDnet TEW-639GR Wireless Gigabit Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps

Pros: -Gigabit ports for fast in network transfers -internet actually seems like its running a bit faster (even though this should have nothing to do with that)

Cons: -drops wired connections from the internet at least twice a day. have to release and renew internet configuration. tried updating FW. that didn't help. Never had this problem with previous router (WGR614). I saw a previous review with the same problem. -have to log in twice every time to log into router

Overall Review: Received as a gift. Was more interested in gigabit than wireless-n. Wireless seems to work well, don't use is that much. I am going to return this and get the Netgear WNR3500L-100

Great value

Diablotek REACTION CPA-8817D3 Black INSIDE BLACK Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case USB 3.0 max VGA LONG CARD
Diablotek REACTION CPA-8817D3 Black INSIDE BLACK Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case USB 3.0 max VGA LONG CARD

Pros: Cheapest case you can buy that has USB 3.0, $25 after rebate, inside is also painted all black for a nice look. Sturdy enough

Cons: Not really cons for the money but ill mention them -Front facing Hard drive bays -Thin and light -have to remove both sides of case to install drives -front plastic is a bit chinsy -I think i was missing one stand-off for the MB

Overall Review: Second Build, on the cheap. Using a power supply and a hard drive I already had, I managed to put together a i5-3570k system for <$400

first dslr

Canon EOS Rebel T2i Black 18.0 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Black 18.0 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only

Pros: Heavy, I consider this a pro because I do not have a steady hand. Battery life is excellent, way better than any point and shoot i`ve used. Much wider range of settings than a point and shoot (12800 ISO, f22@18mm, 1/4000-bulb shutter speed and a whole bunch of others things I don`t fully understand). Can take pretty good night shots if you know how to use the settings. If you have fast memory it can take pictures very quickly. Many video quality settings 1080p@24 or 30 fps 720@60 fps. Movies are very clear.

Cons: No artificial panorama (maybe that's the case with all dslrs?). Once it messed up the file naming convention ("_MG..." instead of "IMG..."). Movie files are huge and my laptop and tablet can't handle playing them.

Overall Review: Bought an 18-200mm lense from elsewhere it was nice range but the lense had no image stabilization. I highly recommend getting a lense that does.

android first time

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (TF101-A1) 1GB DDR2 Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (TF101-A1) 1GB DDR2 Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)

Pros: Tablet itself: solid construction, thin, looks nice (same tech specs as other tablets in this price range) Android:...market has type of apps you wont find on app store, comes with Polaris office

Cons: Tablet: compass has many faults, must have fingernails to use SD slot Android: not nearly as intuitive as iOS, market place is garbage (can't find 90% of apps I had on my iPod). User interface is a bit choppy

Overall Review: I got this tablet because I wanted an SD card slot to view the pictures from my camera on a trip and for that it worked well!

Get what you pay for

MASSCOOL 9025B1M3/4 90mm Case Cooling Fan
MASSCOOL 9025B1M3/4 90mm Case Cooling Fan

Pros: Cheap. Gets the job done (moves air)

Cons: A bit loud compared to my scythe fans but can't really complain considering how much it costs

Overall Review: Using it as an auxiliary fan coming into the hard drive bay. trying to get it to push air over to the bottom of the case to my video card. (oddball size but that's what my case called for)
