StarTech.com MDP2DPMM6 6 ft Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Adapter Cable M/M - DisplayPort 4k with HBR2 support - 6 feet Mini DP to DP Cable
StarTech.com MDP2DPMM6 6 ft Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Adapter Cable M/M - DisplayPort 4k with HBR2 support - 6 feet Mini DP to DP Cable

Pros: It was rather difficult to find a mini DP to DP cable that carries audio, but this one does and it does a nice job of it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I had to call StartTech with a question. They don't manufacture the cable anymore, but they do still support it. That's always a plus.

Most Critical Review

Probably not worth it

JATON iRok Silver 1GB MP3 Player AV-AST50338
JATON iRok Silver 1GB MP3 Player AV-AST50338

Pros: Small, lightweight, decent battery life, good quality, and no lack of volume.

Cons: Windows Media Player recognized it as having 2GB, it was advertised as having 1GB, but could only hold about 600MB. I could put 2GB worth of music on it, but the playlist would cut off after 600MB worth of music. If I deleted a few tracks, the other 1.4GB would appear on the playlist...very strange. The interface is very strange and hard to learn.

Overall Review: Worked well in my car with a cassette adapter, but unless finances are a problem, avoid this mess.

Coboc MINIHMEHMMM6BK 6 ft.Black Mini HDMI(Type C) to HDMI (type A) Male 32AWG High Speed HDMI w/Ethernet Cable,M-M - 1080P
Coboc MINIHMEHMMM6BK 6 ft.Black Mini HDMI(Type C) to HDMI (type A) Male 32AWG High Speed HDMI w/Ethernet Cable,M-M - 1080P

Pros: Does the job. Has Ethernet, if needed.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Cable is flexible, unlike some other HDMI cables I've used recently. The flexibility prevents kinks in the cable, which is nice.

Seriously? After 2 days, it dies?

Rosewill RCW-100 - 6-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable, Black
Rosewill RCW-100 - 6-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable, Black

Pros: I got this for my Asus Eee Transformer TF101. The charging USB cable was just too short. It worked as expected at first.

Cons: After 2 charges of my tablet, the cable decided not to work anymore. Based on how cheap it was, I'm trying to decide if I want to pay more than the cable cost to ship it back for a replacement.

Overall Review: What a pain.

Great performance to noise

SilenX EFX-08-12 80mm Effizio Quiet Case Fan
SilenX EFX-08-12 80mm Effizio Quiet Case Fan

Pros: Super easy to install (as fans should be.) Replaced all 4 case fans with these in a negative pressure system. The noise difference is astounding. Can't beat the performance and low noise for the price.

Cons: No pretty lights (that I don't really need.)

Overall Review: My case used to roar to life at startup (up to 70dB), but now the loudest thing in my case is my CPU cooler...but that's whisper quiet too. It's weird to actually hear my hard drive and DVD drive again...

PowerColor Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AX6950 2GBD5-2DH
PowerColor Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AX6950 2GBD5-2DH

Pros: Successfully unlocked extra 128 shader units (1408 to 1536). Overclocks like a champ. Very stable. Can run The Old Republic at maximum settings well over 60fps with very few framerate drops. Has the bios switch...very handy.

Cons: Old video drivers were interfering with card. Got BSOD on boot. Had to uninstall all video drivers and run Driversweeper in safe mode, then reinstall. Worked perfectly after that.

Overall Review: It doesn't have the same caliber memory as the 6970, so shaders should be unlocked, rather than a full-blown flash to the 6970 bios. Needs a little extra voltage for overclocking...
