Nippon Labs HDMI-HS-10 10 ft. HDMI 2.0 Male to Male High Speed Cable with Ethernet Channel, Black
Nippon Labs HDMI-HS-10 10 ft. HDMI 2.0 Male to Male High Speed Cable with Ethernet Channel, Black

Pros: Perfect Cable, Zero Flaws, Nice and thick, gold plated, very affordable, free shipping, what else you want?

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Don't believe the high-price hype, this is as good as anything else you can get - who are you, george lucas that needs a $100 cable?

Most Critical Review

Driver Problems

Rosewill RCR-IC001 - 3.5" Internal 40-in-1 Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port & Extra Silver Face Plate
Rosewill RCR-IC001 - 3.5" Internal 40-in-1 Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port & Extra Silver Face Plate

Pros: Has lots of ins/outs, lots of features, simple install

Cons: It has had many USB driver problems for me, even when new, would sometimes connect, sometimes not, USB port has always worked, but SD card reader is hit/miss. Windows says "unrecognized" most of the time, even with new drivers in windows 7

Overall Review: Needs better drivers, hit and miss, works well when working

Great low-cost router!

LG-Ericsson WBR-3020 Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n
LG-Ericsson WBR-3020 Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n

Pros: What can I say, it's a router and it works. No resetting issues, speed is great, range is great. Built in software is great for setting up the admin/security stuff

Cons: Default admin/password are listed by default on the initial log-in screen, so anyone who may access it first may set the password before you can. Not a big worry, just a thought on the initial security.

Overall Review: Got it free with cable modem purchase, wasn't expecting much but am pleasantly surprised!

Great set, hard to repair

Klipsch Black IMAGE S4 3.5mm Connector In-Ear Headphone
Klipsch Black IMAGE S4 3.5mm Connector In-Ear Headphone

Pros: - Awesome sound quality - Looks cool - Etc etc

Cons: - There are some reliability problems because of the small wires - I am repairing my friend's set right now, there are about 8 enameled wires inside the cable, very tiny and hard to solder (you need to burn the enamel off of the wire with a lighter first).

Overall Review: Great set, I just wish the wires weren't such a pain to fix if they break

Great deal on sharp knives, warranty is worthless

Ginsu 04954 10 piece Bakelite Knife Set in Natural Block plus 3 extra parring knives
Ginsu 04954 10 piece Bakelite Knife Set in Natural Block plus 3 extra parring knives

Pros: - Very Sharp - Bakelite handles - "Never" needs sharpening - Comes with nice wood block - Very reasonably priced

Cons: - Will need sharpening eventually (after a few years), but cannot sharpen because of the unique serrated edge. - No block space for parring knives - Warranty is worthless, it requires you to ship the knives plus $3.00 per knife to some arizona address (which is basically the cost of a whole new set + wood block) - "Japanese stainless" but made in China

Overall Review: Overall a great set for someone who doesn't chop food everyday or a "college" set for a single guy. They will dull after about 5 years of normal use - just like my Miracle Blades did. Overall, the price and included wood block at this price make it a no-brainer for me.

Rebate may not be valid!

PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 600 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ600MXSP)
PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 600 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ600MXSP)

Pros: PSU Itself is fine

Cons: Included rebate is only for purchases made between 1/16-1/31. I made the purchase on 1/14 even though it was advertised as having said rebate. Will complain like hell if I don't get my rebate

Overall Review: May not buy OCZ anymore if they get sketchy with rebates
