Most Favorable Review

Great Value

ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ R2.0 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 FCH (Bolton-D3) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ R2.0 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 FCH (Bolton-D3) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Paired this with an AMD A10, 8GB of memory and got a very fast system for a great price. I found the board to be well laid out for my application. Manual was fine. The on-screen setup/diagnostics maybe not so well documented, but easy enough to figure out.

Cons: None. Having wrestled with some nasty MBs in the past, this one was pleasant to deal with.

Most Critical Review

So far so good - NO LONGER

Zmodo ZM-SS718 8 CH NVR + 8 HD 720P Day/Night Outdoor sPoE IP Camera Smartphone Scan QR Code Quick Remote Access
Zmodo ZM-SS718 8 CH NVR + 8 HD 720P Day/Night Outdoor sPoE IP Camera Smartphone Scan QR Code Quick Remote Access

Pros: Easy to install. Good image quality at a decent price. The 720 line cameras are better than the "TV" quality, but not nearly as expensive as the 1080p cameras. Night vision is quite impressive. This is my first go with a surveillance system and aside from climbing up and down a ladder way too much, it was pretty easy to get set up and working the way I wanted it to.

Cons: Updated July 11, 2016: E-mail notifications DO NOT work. Zmodo refuses to fix software issue that has been known since at least October 2015. Zero interest from Zmodo to correct problem. Cannot recommend any longer. Get something different. Haven't figured out how to get the HDMI output working yet. Still some troubleshooting to do there. The VGA output works fine for now, but the HDMI would let me remote the monitor from the NVR easier.

Overall Review: Updated July 11, 2016: Check out the Zmodo community forums. The e-mail problem is widespread and known to hundreds of users - Zmodo totally uninterested in fixing. If you want push e-mail notifications, look elsewhere. I pulled my own Cat.5 runs and connectorized them myself. The cables that come in the box are fine, but might not survive a harsh "pull through". It's a standard pinout on the RJ-45, just like any other LAN cable. Keep in mind though, the Zmodo cameras only use four wires, so you won't be reusing the camera cables for any other applications. The mouse that comes with the NVR is junk, but hey at least Zmodo included one. I had a spare wireless USB mouse and it works fine. Eventually, the NVR will get mounted out of sight. The wireless mouse makes it possible to control easily while still keeping the NVR concealed.

Works like a champ

VIZIO D28h-C1 28" Class 720p 60Hz LED HDTV
VIZIO D28h-C1 28" Class 720p 60Hz LED HDTV

Pros: Excellent image quality, multiple inputs. Needed an TV / computer monitor that would serve a dual purpose on a tight budget. This TV delivers. It has the DTV tuner, VGA, HDMI and even RGB composite inputs.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I used the VESA mounting to put the monitor on a wall bracket. I can't comment on how the desk stand works, but it looks like it would be very stable.

Capable and economical refurb PC

HP Desktop Computer 6000 Pro Intel Pentium E6300 4GB DDR3 250GB HDD Intel GMA 4500 Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Pros: Excellent refurb job. PC was clean and in excellent cosmetic condition. What little promotional software there was on the new Win7 image was easily removed. Included a new keyboard and mouse. Granted, they're not top of the line, but you can be operational right out of the box, just connect a monitor. Excellent choice for any application where a functional, and still very capable, PC is needed but investment in new machine is not justified. AST did the refurb on this and I would absolutely buy from them again. There was not a spec of dust inside the case which tells me they spent some time going over this thing before reselling.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Our fire department needed a second machine for entering fire reports. This thing needs to run in the engine bay (dirty, dusty, not a happy place for computers). Even though this is an older machine, it will do what it needs to just fine and when the dirt/dust finally kills it, we'll go out and get another.

30% failure rate

Tenergy Power Case / Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy S III (S3)
Tenergy Power Case / Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy S III (S3)

Pros: This is a very easy and economical way to add battery capacity to an S3 and still maintain some physical protection of the device. It claims to double capacity, and I find it does that.

Cons: I ordered three. One was DOA.

Overall Review: It is an add-on battery that moves charge to the original on-board phone battery. Thus, you will have some conversion loss when the battery case is "turned on" and moving power to the phone.

Didn't charge device

2 Pack Black USB Data Sync Charge Cable Cord for Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Note S 2 SII / S 3 SIII i9300
2 Pack Black USB Data Sync Charge Cable Cord for Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Note S 2 SII / S 3 SIII i9300

Pros: They're black and have connectors on each end.

Cons: The cables won't allow the devices to charge. I ordered four (two pack s of two) and none of them will charge any of the devices I have. I've even tried different chargers. None work. I may have gotten a bad batch, but it's probably not even worth the shipping cost to attempt a return.

Right on second try

They shipped wrong product first time, but we got the exchange set up easily with a few e-mails. The exchange took longer than it should have; Superdeals covered the return shipping and did get the right product out to me without any hassle. There was a mistake in their warehouse, they took care of the problem. I would purchase from Superdeals again.

Fast and Accurate

Ordered on a Friday, showed up the following Monday. With regular shipping! Not sure how that happened, but was very happy. The two batteries ordered were exact replacements for two HP laptops.
