Most Favorable Review

Good speakers!

ALTEC LANSING BXR1120 2.0 Speaker System for PC and MP3 Player
ALTEC LANSING BXR1120 2.0 Speaker System for PC and MP3 Player

Pros: Even the cheap speakers that Altec Lansing puts out are good. For simple speakers, they sound amazingly good. Has an auxiliary jack on the front next to the headphone jack to plug in other audio sources, and a little thing to put your ipod on - don't know about the cradle frob, as I don't have an ipod, but the jack is a nice touch and I hope to use it someday.

Cons: None, really.

Overall Review: The speakers are, indeed, a bit top heavy, and will tip over if you put them on a surface that is either unstable or not level. But then, you shouldn't be putting your computer on something other than a stable, level surface, now, should you?

Don't get this router....

BELKIN F5D9230-4 Wireless G Plus MIMO Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g
BELKIN F5D9230-4 Wireless G Plus MIMO Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: Cheap, easy to configure, good to use if you're in a hurry for wireless.

Cons: Router firmware is not very stable at all - at least once a week I'm in there doing a hard-reset and reload of settings. Seems to work better if I just hand configure after a hard reset. Range isn't all that good. Getting to the point where I have to replace this device.

Overall Review: In my opinion, Belkin makes better surge supressors and Bluetooth dongles than network equipment.

Cheap and not bad

Cyber Acoustics CA-5402 40Watts 5.1 5 Piece Flat Panel Design Subwoofer & Satellite Speaker System
Cyber Acoustics CA-5402 40Watts 5.1 5 Piece Flat Panel Design Subwoofer & Satellite Speaker System

Pros: Speakers, and sounds good for the cost

Cons: Had to call CA to get a part not included

Overall Review: In the package I received, a reote unit was not included despite the package contents list. Good news is that CA sent it separately, so 4 points. As to the sound, they're cheap speakers. I don't expect Dolby THX grade out of these, so they sound fine to y ears.

Dust collection but dang!

XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler LGA1150 Haswell Compatible
XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler LGA1150 Haswell Compatible

Pros: Does what it says and does it well

Cons: Nearly didn't fit in the case, and look at all that dust!

Overall Review: I installed this and found it didn't fit in the case without taking out a fan. No issue, rearrange the fans, done. After two years (it took that long!), had to blow it out with spray air. Never quite got all the dust, but oh well. Does a wonderful job of keeping things well cooled and working like a well built car.

Two years of abuse and holding up very well

Pros: Did not die after a year of heavy use

Cons: Probabiy will not hold a coffee cup when it dies

Overall Review: I've had this for over two years and it has taken a lot of abuse. I do a lot of reads and about 10% of the reads in writes, and it keeps going strong, surprisingly. If I had another SATA port I'd buy another. Or if this one dies. ASUS forever at this point!

Works in Linux

AMD Athlon II X4 640 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - ADX640WFGMBOX

Pros: Linux doesn't gack on it, and neither does Windows

Cons: Does not taste like a potato chip

Overall Review: ...Well, just kidding about the flavor. =D Works fast, and despite all the rage about Intel, I've always been happy with these guys.

Arrived DOA, but returns process was cut and dry

Ordered a refurb laptop from this particular seller. It arrived DOA (would not even power on), but the seller was prompt to work with me and even had everything set up to quickly print out a return label for UPS Ground. So "boo" because the laptop didn't work out, but "yay" because they still made right.
