Most Favorable Review

Wow! I love this thing!

AMS DS-116TL 3.5" Tray-less SATA Removable Rack for HDD
AMS DS-116TL 3.5" Tray-less SATA Removable Rack for HDD

Pros: Very easy to use. Mounts in a standard CD/DVD drive bay. Not over engineered and complicated like other brands. Drives go in and out easy.

Cons: Absolutely none at all

Overall Review: If there was an On/Off switch on the front so that you could turn off the drives you don't want to use this would be the most perfect HDD rack you could buy. (This would be extremely useful if you had multiple HDD's running various OS's, or a backup drive only online long enough to perform a backup, then turn it off so it is 100% impervious to viruses.)

Most Critical Review

I Knew Better!

D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: Every setting known to man! Nice looking. Doesn't get hot like a lot of routers do. Cheap when it's on sale! (I paid $54.99)

Cons: Drops connections frequently! Even after updating to the latest firmware. (which was not found by the internal firmware update link, had to go to the d-link site to find it) An attached HDD on the USB port cannot be FTP'd out.

Overall Review: This was the second D-Link router I have purchased over the last several years, and I can assure you it will be the last! I should have just gone with the Asus RT-N16 and the latest Tomato firmware. Why is it so hard to find o router that just works out of the box anymore? OO, OO, I know!!! Pick me... Because the manufactures hurry up and throw them together and ship them without working out all the bugs first. They figure ah we'll fix the problems with firmware releases as they happen, in the mean time we're making MONEY!!!

Tired of the excuses...

WD Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Slow. Unreliable. Only a 2yr warranty. Cheaper parts. UNRELIABLE!

Overall Review: Seriously WD, quit making excuses! "Many variables that could affect the drives integrity between leaving our warehouses prior to being installed in a computer" HOGWASH! You use inferior parts for the Green drives. The packaging is decent, so I don't believe it is a handling issue. What's amazing is how the Blue and Black drives have the same packaging, yet they fail way less often! Why not just drop the rainbow and just produce all Black drives! Problem solved (for the most part anyways) You could sell them for less since you would only be buying parts to build those and maybe just maybe some of the customers that you have ran off with your unreliable junk might consider returning to the WD brand. At one point I would swear by WD, but its a toss up now.

FIGURES!

Pros: Superb Case!!! Gave it 1 EGG to get Rosewill's attention!!!

Cons: Discontinued!!! As usuall, Rosewill stops production of one of their better products... Why? To make more of something else that not near as many people will like.

Overall Review: How about just continuing to produce your products that receive good ratings and reviews! Who cares if its older, it's still gonna sell simply because it was right to begin with!

Niiiiice Monitor!

PLANAR  PX2710MW  Black  27"  2ms Full HD HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers 300 cd/m2  1200:1
PLANAR PX2710MW Black 27" 2ms Full HD HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers 300 cd/m2 1200:1

Pros: Amazing monitor for the money! Big. Stylish. Button layout is good. Good contrast ratio. I'd buy it again!

Cons: The first one we got had a stuck green pixle, BUT 1 quick email to newegg and I had an RMA number and a return shipping label. The on screen menu is a bit frustrating to use until you figure it out.

Overall Review: Paid $239 with a promo and it shipped free 2 day with shoprunner. It's not LED :-( but still looks very good and is super bright! Almost bought the Asus, but after seeing this one in person and for the difference in price I'm glad I didn't.

Magnet Balls Holiday Edition - Limited Release - Magnetic Earth Magnet Puzzle in Collector's Tin
Magnet Balls Holiday Edition - Limited Release - Magnetic Earth Magnet Puzzle in Collector's Tin

Pros: Fun to play with, hard to put down!

Cons: Be very careful buying any COLORED magnet balls/cubes other than the original buckyballs, the color will come off in your hands only hours after taking them from the package! The chrome will even come off eventually leaving you a rough black magnet that leaves your hands black.
