Does what it says

Zonet ZPS1000 Pocket-Sized Print Server RJ45 USB 1.1
Zonet ZPS1000 Pocket-Sized Print Server RJ45 USB 1.1

Pros: It works; It's cheap; It's tiny; Anybody on the same network can use the printer once this is set up. I have it hooked up to a Linksys WRT54G router and 4 computers using various wireless adapters are able to utilize the one printer.

Cons: Was a little tedious in my case to set up. ***For the included software to work: the printer's icon must exist already in Win XP printer folder. Then the print server software allows you to simply pick those drivers from a list.

Overall Review: What I had to do to get this to work for me: [1] Install printer drivers with printer attached to computer (this puts the icon in printer folder). [2] Disconnect printer from computer. [3]Connect to Print Server which is already connected to network and powered. [4] Press RESET button on print server (ran into a lot of problems if I didn't do this step). [5] Run included print server software. [6] Repeat entire process for every computer. Other suggestions: let this thing use the 192.168.5.1 IP address, when I tried to change it kept killing my network

Most Critical Review

Received DOA

ASRock Z97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Price/Features

Cons: Received the motherboard DOA, would not boot at all. All brand new components, so I had to change out components piece by piece to isolate the problem. Its a good thing I have extra stuff or I wouldn't have even known what wasn't working.

Overall Review: As with all tech stuff, there is the occasional bad product, but I think I will switch to another manufacture for this build regardless.

Don't believe the 2 star review

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I own the 500gb version of the F3, so even my review should be taken with a grain of salt. Its fast its quiet. performance is on par with WD caviar blacks, and it is fairly cheap.

Cons: Unknown reliability, These drives have only been out since July and the two 500gb F3's that I own are still working fine, but it is still too soon to say how well they will hold up over the long haul.

Overall Review: Be skeptical of Mr. 2-star review here on Newegg. How did he have this drive for 8 months before it failed when it has only been out for 1 month, and Newegg just listed this drive for sale this month. Quote from Samsung 28 July 2009 "The Spinpoint F3 is currently available in 500GB capacities worldwide. The 1TB drive is scheduled for initial shipment in August."

Best 22" LCD right now May 2007

SAMSUNG 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 2 ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI-D 226BW
SAMSUNG 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 2 ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI-D 226BW

Pros: 2ms gray-to-gray response time 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 1000:1 static contrast ratio no ghosting/no glare/good color

Cons: still a little expensive, but the best value for price/performance 22" LCD monitors slight backlight bleed-through, but I have to be stareing at the edges specifically looking for it; not distracting, not what you're going to be doing under normal use.

Overall Review: Would definitely buy this again. New buyers don't be worried about getting an A, C, or S model I have an A and have no problems at all with it. Completely Satisfied Owner.

It works

ADATA 512MB MicroSD Flash Card Model MICROSD 512MB
ADATA 512MB MicroSD Flash Card Model MICROSD 512MB

Pros: 512Mb micro SD card for a good price

Cons: shipping price, and packaging for something that is only as big as my pinky fingernail

Overall Review: Using it in a Cingular 3125 mobile smartphone. Works fine, but phone is slow putting files onto card not cards fault it accepts files much faster when not in the phone.

Price is right
