Most Favorable Review

Pros: It worked right out of the box on a fresh Ubuntu install with no Drivers needed!

Cons: None that I know of so far.

Most Critical Review

Long enough

Link Depot MUSB-10 Black USB 2.0 Type A Male to Micro USB 5-pin Male Cable
Link Depot MUSB-10 Black USB 2.0 Type A Male to Micro USB 5-pin Male Cable

Pros: It's long enough to walk around my room while charging my phone.

Cons: The plug does not stay in my phone very well, and you need to hold it in place while moving.

Overall Review: My work prohibits me from plugging my phone into my computer, and the closest wall outlet is too far for my standard cable that came with my HTC EVO, so this is able to reach the wall outlet. It's ok when my phone is just sitting on my desk, but any movement, and it will fall out.

Artificial light

Pros: It appears this light will fit in most Edison fixtures, and the price is low.

Cons: The light from this bulb is very artificial looking. I have purchased other LED bulbs, and worked with a company designing them. Getting that warm color that comes from an incandescent light has always been tricky when dealing with LEDs, but I have seen other companies come much closer than this light has (3M LED Advanced).

Overall Review: For now this light will be ok for an area that isn't used often, but I don't plan on using it in an area I spend most of my time in.

Don't like the logo, but LOVE the extra battery life!

Pros: My old battery was dead before I got to work in the morning, but with this new battery I'm only down to 93%.

Cons: truCELL put their logo on the battery cover. Nothing a sticker can't fix though. Had to drop an egg for that though

Overall Review: I tried to drain it completely yesterday. I had pandora runnning, screen at full brightness, GPS, WIFI, and games running. After 6 hours at those conditions, it was only down to 43%. Very nice!

Will buy more

Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850 W ATX 12V v2.3, EPS 12V v2.91 CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850 W ATX 12V v2.3, EPS 12V v2.91 CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Modular cables! I know other manufactures have these, but Thermaltake was the first company I have ever bought a modular power supply from, and have loved them ever since.

Cons: A little large. I put my second black widow into a Thermaltake case, and it wouldn't fit without removing one of the brackets. It wasn't hard to remove the bracket, so good planning on thermaltake's behalf, but other case manufactures might not have the same foresight, so make sure you have room.

Overall Review: This is the second Black Widow I have purchased, and I will continue to purchase them as long as they're still made, and I have a need for them. 850 Watts is over kill for my server, but it leaves me plenty of room to expand.
