Most Favorable Review
ASUS GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card EN8600GT SILENT/HTDP/512M
ASUS GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card EN8600GT SILENT/HTDP/512M

Pros: I don't play games but wanted something fast for Vista (should I ever install it). Large heatsink so I can replace a fan that I will mount easily. I mounted a 120m fan very carefully so I have a nice quite video card!

Cons: Heat sink will not keep this card cool. Runs very hot. BUT since the heat sink is so large it is easy to cool with just a little flow of air.

Overall Review: Buy the Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D 120mm fan to cool this card.

Most Critical Review

Careful, these are failing by the droves

Western Digital WD Green WD20EARS 2TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Good price, fast performance for a data disk, quiet.

Cons: Watch out, these are cheap because they are NOT TESTED. I have already had one fail. READ the reports of people buying this drive, many are failing!!!

Very good phone

Panasonic KX-TGP500B04 1.9 GHz DECT 6.0 1X Handsets Cordless Phone
Panasonic KX-TGP500B04 1.9 GHz DECT 6.0 1X Handsets Cordless Phone

Pros: I've really enjoyed using this phone. It only makes a few compromises, durable even when dropped, and works well with my VoIP.ms service. Twice a year I've had to reboot it because it seemed to not connect to my provider. It could have been the router or something else, however.

Cons: The audio quality could be better, not that it is bad. But I have a very nice desk phone (Snom 370) and this phone is a notch under that. The other downside is the web interface requires you to enable it (every time) from the phone itself. Bit of a hassle.

The best mouse

Logitech Wheel Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB or PS/2 Wired Optical Mouse
Logitech Wheel Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB or PS/2 Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: This is the best mouse in terms of the click switches they use. They just last and last.

Cons: Could look a touch better in the fashion sense by removing the Logitech logo on the top. Looks out of place. The small plastic glued on feet don't last that long or come on and you have to reapply them.

I always try to buy original OEM

Pros: Manufacturing tolerances are better when you go with OEM equipment. Buy from Newegg unless you want to risk getting a clone too.

Cons: Is there gold dusk in these things?

Does not work with Samsung

Pros: Cheap but seems sturdy enough

Cons: Will not fit into a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, or Samsung Galaxy S4.
