Awesome for PS3 Upgrade!

Pros: Fast drive - i noticed performance increase in load times of games after installing. I didnt test it alot yet but while installing MGS4 it only took 10min, i swear on old drive it took at least 20min to install. Way bigger than my old 60GB drive. Easy to install!

Cons: none yet.

Overall Review: Install is easy 1. Backup ps3 onto external (fat32) drive. 2. Remove old HDD and put new one in. 3. Download update from playstation site. http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/pc_update/index.htm Put update onto external drive into PS3 > UPDATE folder. you will have to make the UPDATE folder make sure its in caps. Backup external drive should now have a PS3/BACKUP and a PS3/UPDATE folder. 4. Boot ps3, go to system settings and run backup, choose restore. Once i ran this it already had my ps3 all up to date all my save files were there and settings as well. P.S. my ps3 is big fat old one. Made nice upgrade for its small 60GB drive.

Good sound but...

PLANTRONICS GameCom 377 Open-ear 3.5mm Circumaural Gaming Headset
PLANTRONICS GameCom 377 Open-ear 3.5mm Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: These sound great i lsiten to rock, techno, and rap mostly and they all sound great on these. Even the bass from techno and rap sound awesome which is rare for headsets around this price. Built in mic is nice.

Cons: Like many others were saying in their review mine broke up by where the mic folds into the headset a small crack formed at first, then eventually it snapped completely through. I threw some gorilla glue on it and it seems fine for now, will have to look for new set soon im sure though. That area on the headset definatly seems to be the weak point on these, i know i have a big head lol and these have to bend around that and when i take them on and off alot that strain on the band is wat cause it to snap so i would say these are meant for people with smaller heads mainly.

Overall Review: worked great for around 6 months and i payed 50 for them at the time so i would say i have gotten my money out of them.

GREAT STORAGE DRIVE!

Pros: Awesome drive lots of space, plenty fast for storing files. Worked perfect as soon as i plugged it in.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Not sure why so many people gave bad ratings, i know most were about DOA. Me and a few of my friends bought a total of like 8 of these, all of them worked perfectly not a 1 of them DOA.

Great Gaming Surround sound headset!

Creative 70GH014000002 3.5mm / USB2.0 Connector Circumaural Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma Headset

Pros: -Fits my big head well -Feels strange and first on ears but is overall comfortable just takes a little while to get used to them. -Tangle free cable!! -mic works great right away -surround sound works great -the control panel program that you install with this headset is amazing and completely allows you to customize the sound you hear and well as your voice coming over your mic.

Cons: -Cable could be a bit longer -mic works well but is in kind of an awkward position and kind of kreeps down after a while but not too much so its not really worth losing and egg over.

Overall Review: Didnt feel this deserved a con but unfortunatly my logitech G11 keyboard could not power this headset with its USB ports. The usb 1.0 ports dont give out enough power for it so if you plan on plugging into keyboard make sure it has usb 2.0 plugins. I plan on upgrading to the G19 soon which looks awesome.

Worked great for my Samsung Gravity T

Kingston 4GB microSDHC Flash Card Model SDC4/4GB

Pros: Worked right away put bunch of music on it and threw it in my phone, was recognized instantly and phone saw the music and played it flawlessly.

Cons: none

Keeps my Phenom X4 super cool

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler

Pros: Keeps my CPU super cool Min Temps range 18-24 degrees celcius Max Temps range on avg 30-35 degrees celcius Also pretty quiet even when i have it turned on at 100% speed all the time.

Cons: Was a bit of struggle to install but that kinda makes sense since it has to be really snug against CPU so it doesnt move around in transport and also to keep it cool of course.

Overall Review: I have Gigabyte mobo GA-MA770-UD3, i turned off the CPU smart fan control setting in the bios so that this baby runs at 100% all the time i know it will technically not last quite as long with this set up but honestly would u rather have your CPU or 30$ fan die earlier lol? Before changing this setting my CPU ran idle at around 25-30 degrees celcius now its at around 18-24 degrees on avg (depends on room temp as well), would recommend doing this.
