Pros: Expands one of your motherboard's USB headers which would ordinarily be only two ports to eight ports total. The circuit board provides two "external" and three headers of two ports each (another way of saying six internal ports). All ports are powered via a 12V molex pass thru adapter. This means each port can source 500mA instead of 100mA max. Allows the adding more USB ports without adding an external USB hub. No drivers to load; true plug and play with Windows XP. All cables are sleeved and nice looking.

Cons: I am going to have to buy more of these...

Overall Review: The upstream USB cable is approximately 20.5 inches in length.

Pros: Cheap monitor after rebate. Very good picture quality.

Cons: TN panel, so viewing angles are not great. My LCD developed what seems to be a "leak" in the upper left hand corner shortly after I received it. That portion of the screen looks like a black smear. I thought I was within the three year warranty, but after doing some research, I have found that I am well past the ONE year warranty on the LCD.

Overall Review: HannsG does not offer a true 3 year warranty on the entire monitor. The LCD itself is only a ONE year warranty. From their website: "The warranty hereof shall mean a period of 3 years parts and labor, 1 Year LCD, 30 Days for Accessories (cables, remotes, etc.) and 90 Day Warranty on repaired/replaced components from the original date of purchase."

Pros: Twin fans are SILENT, even at 100%! Included thermal glue only takes 60 minutes to set up and requires no mixing. My other case fans are louder. Twin fans are PWM and therefore, speed controlled just like the factory fans.

Cons: Bulky; occupies three slots. Instructions have you partially disassemble the cooler when mounting the extra (optional) aluminum heatsinks in order to ensure you have enough clearance. The TTII may interfere with SATA ports and the like depending on your particular mainboard. My Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 lost two SATA ports due to the size of the TTII.

Overall Review: I installed this cooler on a MSI 560Ti Twin Frozr II; since one of the two stock fans was intermittent and making annoying ticking sounds. The TTII only reduced my GPU folding temps by 2-3 degrees C compared to the stock Frozr at equivalent fan percentages (~61%). However, I can run the TTII fans at 100% with no noise! At 100%, the TTII runs about 5 degress C cooler than the Frozr at 61% fan speed. The Twin Frozr is a much higher quality heatsink/heatpipe cooler than the TTII; but the Frozr fans kill the overall design. Quietly folding at 100% GPU and 100% fan speed, room temp: 25.5C, GPU temp: 61C.

Pros: Less than $81 shipped when new. Good amount of storage. Runs cools and quiet with low vibration.

Cons: Died with only 20 months of service. Lost all files on the drive. Drive would drop offline intermittently with no warning.

Overall Review: Should have backed this one up. Initiated WD Advanced Replacement RMA today.

Pros: Maxed out my wife's Dell Inspiron 1520. Surprisingly, 4GB of RAM made quite a difference over the 2GB I had installed. The number of hard faults per second has dropped drastically. Vista 32 bit uses just over 2GB with Outlook and a couple of web browsers open at the same time, so having three or more gigs of RAM really helps. CPU-Z rates the timings @ 5-5-5-15 (1.8V).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: RAM is pretty inexpensive at the moment.

Pros: Inexpensive, high quality, works. Vista runs so much better with 2GB of RAM.

Cons: N/A.

Overall Review: Upgraded a friend's ASUS F5R laptop (2007) from 1GB to 2GB total system memory. CPU-Z detects speed as 533MHz DDR (PC2-4300), 4-4-4-12 timings @ 1.8V.
