Great adapter

Rosewill RNA-U100PRO Universal Notebook Power Adapter 100W with USB Power Port
Rosewill RNA-U100PRO Universal Notebook Power Adapter 100W with USB Power Port

Pros: Adapter tips for pretty much any laptop, hence it being a universal adapter lol. Voltage selector is a HUGE plus; It has a little LED light so you can see the LED screen on the voltage selector in the dark/under a desk/etc. Has a USB port to plug in and charge a phone/media player/etc. For its price, this is an awesome deal.

Cons: Minus one egg because one died on me after 4 months. RMA was fairly painless with Newegg. New one has been going strong for 3 months. we'll see what happens in the near future. Oh yeah. The LED light on the actual power unit is blue and ridiculously bright. The cables could be a bit longer too. Especially the one that goes from the power unit to the laptop. Minus another egg for those issues. This thing will not let you down if you take care of it. It can take a beating but keep it away from even slight humidity. It doesn't seem sealed enough to be moisture-tight by any means. The power unit gets pretty warm.

Overall Review: Got this because a new OEM power adapter for my HP G60-120US from HP or even Newegg was $80+. This seemed like a good option and it has been. Would be 4 eggs if it hadn't died after a few months. Over all, judging on it's performance and cost, it's hard to beat, especially when you consider all of its features. Important sidenote: Most smartphones charge using ~1 amp. The USB port on the power unit puts out half an amp. So you still might be able to charge it, but it will charge slow. iPhone probably wouldn't charge. I havn't tried to charge a device like that though. Works for my phone and my Sandisk Sansa.

Always works

Tripp Lite 8in HDMI to DVI Cable Adapter Converter HDMI Male to DVI-I Female 8"
Tripp Lite 8in HDMI to DVI Cable Adapter Converter HDMI Male to DVI-I Female 8"

Pros: For a few years I have used this in various configurations alone and with other adapters, and it has never not worked.

Cons: None that I have seen

Overall Review: Simple, does what it says and lives up to and sometimes has exceeded my expectations.

One of the best

Rosewill RC-405X 10/100Mbps 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
Rosewill RC-405X 10/100Mbps 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch

Pros: This thing has endurance. I have had it running for almost 7 months and have had to only reset it once, almost 100% uptime since I turned it on the first time and plugged it in. Truly plug-and-play, extremely reliable. My unit stays very cool, contrary to what some other reviewers have reported. As fast as a 10/100 switch can be for home use.

Cons: It doesn't make me breakfast. It is too light. 4 usable ports when up-linked to another switch/router, I knew and expected this before I bought it so no eggs knocked off the rating.

Overall Review: UPDATE Sept. 2019: Both of these that I bought back in 2010 are still humming along. I never have to reset them. They literally always work, and are truly "invisible" (strictly layer-2 store-and-forward) on my home network as a simple unmanaged switch should be. The 8 port model is garbage compared to this. I always forget these exist then sometimes notice the link/act lights and go oh yeah, those are a thing. Perfection. This is the best switch I have ever used at this price point. Rosewill makes some super awesome products at the right price.

This router is awesome

ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server
ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server

Pros: UPDATE: Would buy another of these. Killer WIFI and ultra-stable ethernet that has been feeding downstream switches that have 8-10 servers humming along at any given moment. Been running this for 6 or 7 months as a wireless AP+Bridge and heavily utilize the 2 USB ports for device backups (phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, etc) and it performs beyond my expectations every day. Supports custom firmware (padavan/rt-n56u on BitBucket) that gives more control than the stock firmware and has a nicer interface. Got it on sale here at Newegg for way less than it's worth; I'd have no hesitation buying another one of these at twice the price and it would still be a good deal. The overall integration of features and stellar and consistent performance over such a long time makes this probably the best WAP/Bridge/Router I have ever owned. Supports an astounding amount of simultaneous video and music streaming (1 netflix 4k stream and 2 1080p netflix streams, 2-3 music streams, facetime, etc), downloads, and other traffic (twitter, snapchat, facebook, etc) without issue from the 3 repeater nodes and AP SSID that feed this connections. This thing puts the more expensive Buffalo AirStation router (that actually acts as my router) to shame since it provides equivalent or better performance at a significantly lower price point, and looks nicer too.

Cons: I've run into some weird situations with permissions on the SMB shares that I have configured on this, but not enough to take an egg off. SMB server requires restarts once or twice a week if load becomes super excessive. Overall, these issues are almost trivial compared to the issues I have had with countless other wireless networking devices.

Overall Review: I rate this 4.8/5. It is a fantastic device and have recommended it to colleagues, family, and friends many times.

After upgrades, this is great

ASUS VivoBook S400CA-RSI5T18 Intel Core i5 3rd Gen 3317U (1.70 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD 14" Touchscreen 1366 x 768 2-in-1 Laptop Windows 8 64-Bit
ASUS VivoBook S400CA-RSI5T18 Intel Core i5 3rd Gen 3317U (1.70 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD 14" Touchscreen 1366 x 768 2-in-1 Laptop Windows 8 64-Bit

Pros: UPDATE: Upgraded this to an SSD and it screams. This thing is like lightning. Awesome. Nothing in this laptop has yet failed. I got this as a gift for my wife and she has used it quite a bit over the years. I upgraded this to Windows 8.1, then 10, at the first opportunity; Windows 8 was absolutely awful. I also upped the RAM to 8GB. 4GB is pretty measly these days and can barely even support web browsing and MS Office concurrently. The cache SSD allows full startup to be lightning fast (normally less than 10 seconds), and the 500GB HDD is fine for most normal use. The clickpad is AWESOME - only with the right driver though. Otherwise it turns into a touchpad that you'd have been more likely to find on a laptop from 10 years ago. A real pain to install the driver on Windows 10, but after I got it working it has been nice. The SmartGesture software allows smooth natural movements and actions, and is very high quality. On a closing note, the touchscreen is responsive and vibrant, and the Intel graphics can (amazingly) play Diablo 3 and Space Engineers. This is a nice little machine with a couple upgrades, and was a great deal overall.

Cons: Sound is lacking, even though it's not totally horrible. Click pad is almost useless without the additional software. The keyboard is super average even though it looks really nice; the key action is weak.
