Works

KWorld VS- USB2800 DVD Maker USB 2.0
KWorld VS- USB2800 DVD Maker USB 2.0

Pros: Works well, but throw out the software it comes with. I used Debut Video Capture Software, and it works flawlessly. Sound syncs perfectly and can capture my old VHS tapes easily. I used the updated drivers from the manufacturer. I'm running the DVD Maker on Windows 8.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought this to transfer old VHS, which it will do effortlessly. After that I will probably hook it up to my old Sega Dreamcast so I can play it within a window on my PC.

Most Critical Review

Thin

Rosewill R6425-P BK Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill R6425-P BK Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Inexpensive, light, decently designed

Cons: About as thin as a soft drink can.

Overall Review: It came with too fairly good dents in the case, but I just straightened them out instead of sending it back (too much effort). If cosmetics are a big thing for you, buy another case (of course if they are important to you, you're probably going to spend more than twenty bucks on a case.

Horrible Battery Life

Logitech G7 Black 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Mouse
Logitech G7 Black 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Mouse

Pros: Wonderful dpi settings, fits comfortably, and is well weighted. Looks nice, and the wireless setup is nice.

Cons: Battery life. Battery life. Battery life. Horrible. Kills the product. I bought this mouse for my girlfriend to replace an old Logitech mouse. She has to change the battery every one to two days, which is just unacceptable. Its extremely pricey (I mean really, generic mice go for 6 or 7 dollars). I definitely fill ripped off. I'll probably end up chucking the mouse and wasting my money and getting her something else. I'd actually entertain sending the thing back to Logitech, but I doubt that'd do any good.

Overall Review: At this point, I'm seriously thinking of trying products other than Logitech.

Memory Upgrade

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model F2-5300PHU2-2GBSA
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model F2-5300PHU2-2GBSA

Pros: Memory replacement for my HP/Compaq V6000Z, which had 512MB of memory. Installed in about 2 minutes, and turned on the computer -- worked like a charm, and cost half as much as ordering 2Gig upgrade from HP

Cons: None

Overall Review: Perfect.

Amazing

Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Works very well in XP and Vista. The main reason for owning this computer is for the 18 keys (plus 3 different configurations for up to 54) that this keyboard offers. Makes games that have a lot of assignable actions a breeze. I mainly use this for WOW and it works very well.

Cons: I use Windows 2000, and while the stated support is for XP and Vista, it does work in 2000, however, trying to scan for games causes the keyboard application to crash. Basically you have to assign the keys manually -- which takes about 10 minutes, but from there you're good to go.

Overall Review: I wish this had better Win 2k support, but what can you do? The additional keys, which you can bind to such things as "Ctrl-1", "Ctrl-2" etc, far out-weigh the cons. Well built, and the lighted keys look nice, however there isn't much difference in dim and bright.

Beautiful

Canon PowerShot SD630 Silver 6.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Canon PowerShot SD630 Silver 6.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Bought this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas. It was an excellent choice, easy to use features, the lcd view screen is tremendous, and pictures auto rotate which is a nice feature I wish my Canon IS 3 had. Also this camera is nice and compact and very useful for the person on the go. It easily fits in her purse.

Cons: Battery life could be better, but not shabby. Gets lots of fingerprints...

Overall Review: Well worth the money.
