Most Favorable Review

Very happy with it

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Titanium Silver 3G Unlocked GSM Android Smart Phone w/ Android 4.0 / 5 MP Camera / 16GB Internal Memory / NFC (GT-i9250)
Samsung Galaxy Nexus Titanium Silver 3G Unlocked GSM Android Smart Phone w/ Android 4.0 / 5 MP Camera / 16GB Internal Memory / NFC (GT-i9250)

Pros: Jellybean is out for this phone. Camera is decent. Reception is very decent. Nice screen colour/resolution. Videos very fluid. Has 16GBs (more than enough for the average user). Good screensize, not too big not too small. Very responsive. Camera is responsive. Has LED flash (Makes a great flashlight, better than my 2x LED Moto milestone) Works with almost any carrier. Unlocked.

Cons: GPS is finicky (-1 egg) Speaker volume not very loud. Pictures are noisy (See "image noise") No MicroSD expansion slot

Overall Review: Do not use flash at close range, victims will have vision problems for a minute after. Overall I am quite happy with this phone. You don't need to sign up for a lengthy costly contract to get the advertised price.

Most Critical Review

It was good until it wasn't

Rosewill NEON K51B Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Hybrid Membrane Mechanical Switches, 8 RGB LED Backlight Effects, 19-Key Anti-Ghosting, Ergonomic, Black
Rosewill NEON K51B Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Hybrid Membrane Mechanical Switches, 8 RGB LED Backlight Effects, 19-Key Anti-Ghosting, Ergonomic, Black

Pros: -Cheap -RGB -No software required

Cons: -RGB is very basic -Switches are vey basic -No durability

Overall Review: Bought 2 of these, one for me an one to replace my son's keyboard. Both have failed in the exact same manner: Spacebar pops out of its socket. There's a little plastic tab that prevents the spacebar from popping out of its socket but the repeated percussion from the springing weight of the spacebar will break it in a relatively short amount of time. I just needed a basic keyboard that wouldn't break as a primary mission, the RGB was kind of just a nice top have but this keyboard was unable to deliver. This is a penny wise - pound foolish purchase. You won't save any money by skimping with this item.

Pros: -Sound quality is clear

Cons: -For the price you should expect much better durability

Overall Review: Unlikely to buy from this brand again

Great keyboard

Logitech G910 Orion Spark RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Led keyboard Rgb Mechanical switches No light bleed Good key layout Game mode disables annoying windows key

Cons: Abusing the caps lock key can de-synch the caps lock indicator

Overall Review: I found nothing I dislike about this keyboard though it could use more features like braided cable, sound ports and usb extension. None of which would really benefit me anyhow.

Cheap and sexy

Fractal Design Core 1000 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Core 1000 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: No sharp edges (Except for 5.25 covers on the front) Fits nicely micro ATX boards. Can install SSD's Comes with screws for SSD's Comes with more screws than you need. Thumb screws. Lightweight but not very flimsy. Has mounts for 2 other fans if wanted or required. Has dust filter on the front. LED's can easily be concealed as they are on the right hand side on the case. Motherboard connectors are intelligently designed to avoid logistical conflicts. Comes with a detached beeper speaker that I now keep in my toolkit.

Cons: None that I could identify during the build.

Overall Review: The vertical mounting of HDD's is new to me but allows for better airflow, I like it though if you're going to use more than 2 or 3 HDD's you want want to consider a different case.

Great CPU/APU for cheap build

Pros: Integrated graphics has more than enough power for a casual user.

Cons: Didn't tell me the winning lottery numbers yet.

Overall Review: This product exceeds my expectations.
