Most Favorable Review

Consistently incredible

Intel Core i7-970 - Core i7 Gulftown 6-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1366 130W Desktop Processor - BX80613I7970
Intel Core i7-970 - Core i7 Gulftown 6-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1366 130W Desktop Processor - BX80613I7970

Pros: Consistently predictable and incredible in their overclocking abilities. The cash cow for hard core F@H addicts.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: I now have 7 of these things. They all run F@H 24/7. Three run @ 4.3 Ghz, the rest at 4.2, all are flawlessly stable. Not one has ever come close to 70C in a 23C room at 100% load.

Disappointing

MOTOROLA Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Built-In Noise Reduction / Echo Cancellation / 8 Hours Talk Time (H720)
MOTOROLA Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Built-In Noise Reduction / Echo Cancellation / 8 Hours Talk Time (H720)

Pros: Motorola internal quality and backing.

Cons: Does not keep the hear piece close to the ear at all times. It flops around insecurely when tilting your head and feels like it would easily fall off and be lost. Volume could also be better.

Overall Review: I didn't buy mine from Newegg but it is not up to what I expect from Motorola. Choose a different model. The tried and true H15 will replace this one.

Supremely Comfortable

MOTOROLA H730 Black Bluetooth Headset w/ Advanced Multipoint / Dual Microphone / Noise Reduction
MOTOROLA H730 Black Bluetooth Headset w/ Advanced Multipoint / Dual Microphone / Noise Reduction

Pros: Right from the first second you put it on, you can't tell it's even there. Outstanding volume, tonal quality, extremely easy pairing. No wonder it gets such high ratings.

Cons: ZIP

Overall Review: I've had a bunch of bluetooth headsets in my days but none beat this one yet for the price. Period. It's really that much better than the H720 it replaces.

Still the best value overall

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-12G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-12G

Pros: One tube of this used correctly will last a LONG time.

Cons: None

Overall Review: One other newcomer brand may better this in performance (slightly) but they can't beat this 12 gram tube for the price.

Excellent

Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45
Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45

Pros: Utterly superior to the on-board LAN on any motherboard I have ever owned.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: A few on-board LAN solutions may be nearly as fast, but none feel as quick and responsive or have virtually NO CPU overhead. Folders in particular would benefit from using this card instead of the on-board LAN.

Oldie but still a goodie

MOTOROLA H15 Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset with Crystal Talk
MOTOROLA H15 Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset with Crystal Talk

Pros: Child's play pairing, more than enough volume with my Blackberry phone, nice assortment of earbuds, outstanding noise rejection, clear and natural sounding.

Cons: Battery life could be better.

Overall Review: This is the 14th bluetooth ear piece I've owned and by far the best I've ever tried. I'll stick with Motorola and this model until they stop making it.
