Most Favorable Review

Nice video output.

EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P2-N757-TR
EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P2-N757-TR

Pros: Nice picture quality. Low fan noise. Out of box compatibility with linux. Bunch of cables and adapters come with the card. Good cost/benefit ratio.

Cons: There is always a better, faster one if you want to spend lots of money.

Overall Review: If you want to use it for extreme gaming and if you have lot of more money to spend, go buy a better model. I didn't test it with HDTV.

poor quality product

Rosewill RCR-IC002 - 74-in-1 Internal Card Reader with USB 2.0 Ports & Extra Silver Face Plate - Fits 3.5" Drive Bay
Rosewill RCR-IC002 - 74-in-1 Internal Card Reader with USB 2.0 Ports & Extra Silver Face Plate - Fits 3.5" Drive Bay

Pros: It dis what it was supposed to do - for 20 days.

Cons: I probably used the memory stick slot for 3-4 times before the pins got loose. The pins that are supposed to contact the little metal plates of the card cannot do their job now, unless I manually push the card in the slot about 30 degrees downward. As soon as I take my hand of, the card is disconnected from the system. Very poor quality, wouldn't ever buy again.

Overall Review: There doesn't seem to be a good quality product for this purpose per the reviews I have read. I will keep buying different brands until one of them turns out to be good quality I suppose.

Decent hard drive

Seagate NAS HDD ST2000VN000 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive
Seagate NAS HDD ST2000VN000 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive

Pros: Stable hard drives so far. Short ownership duration, therefore cannot say more.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought couple of these about a month ago to replace the Seagate Barracudas of the same size in my NAS. Barracudas (3out of 5) failed after about 18 months of use. Then I bought this 3 drive combo item to replace the remaining Barracudas just in case.

good cable

Pros: Fits snug, works well, does what it is supposed to do.

Cons: None that I can tell. Yeah it is a little stiff, but I don't think it is a biggie.

Pros: Fast, silent, reliable. Works well with XP (nero 8) and linux (k3b).

Cons: None that I could find so far.

Overall Review: I have not tried burning a DVD9 yet.

Not a single bad unit

Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR533D2N4K2/2G
Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR533D2N4K2/2G

Pros: I ordered two of those. They passed memtest without errors. Fast, reliable, good RAM.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I have been using Kingston for about two years now. Not only RAM but also flash memory. They haven't failed me once. I am very happy from the overall quality.
