Pretty Good

Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology, Black
Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology, Black

Pros: I have had these for over a year now and I am pleased with the highs this puts out. The Style of these are quite nice to look at with or without the grills. No static sound when turning on the speakers and turning up the volume.

Cons: Bass is not that good (subjective) and is easily distorted. The build quality of my original pair had an issue with the audio inputs no connecting after awhile without adjusting the cord.

Overall Review: Given the size of woofers you can't expect too much bass. And Creative did replace my speakers during the warranty with no issues and the turn around was very quick. The replacement speakers I got don't seem to have any build quality issues at all.

Most Critical Review

Stopped Working As Advertised After 3 Weeks

ENERMAX UCTS12A Twister Storm UCTS12A 120mm Case Fan
ENERMAX UCTS12A Twister Storm UCTS12A 120mm Case Fan

Pros: It can push unbelievable amounts of air and keep things quite cool.

Cons: After three weeks it started making grinding noises. I thought it was just vibration so I put a rubber gasket around it. That did nothing. I uninstalled the fan and held it in my hand and had it running and that is when I heard the grinding coming from the bearing. I had to put it aside and go back to my tried and true ANTEC fan that has worked for years.

Overall Review: It's too bad this thing fails so quickly. I guess there isn't any quality control or R&D that went into this fan. I was and am very disappointed.

It Works

ORICO 4 Port USB 3.0 HUB With Type C Power Supply Port For PC Laptop Computer Accessories ABS USB Splitter USB3.0 OTG Adapter Up To 5Gbps, Plug and Play, For iMac, MacBook Air, PC, Laptops

Pros: It works as designed. I have 2 powered USB Seagate 3.0 external hard drives plugged in and they work just fine at the same time.

Cons: USB cable could be longer and it is non-replaceable if something happens.

Overall Review: I got this at a decent price and so far am happy with it.

Great Product

Optical Quantum 50GB 6X BD-R DL 10 Packs Spindle Disc Model OQBDRDL06LT-10
Optical Quantum 50GB 6X BD-R DL 10 Packs Spindle Disc Model OQBDRDL06LT-10

Pros: I have bought about 10 packs of these over the past year and only one disk was a coaster. Burns at 6x with no issues and they are cheap. I haven't had any reliability issues as of yet with these disks but then again it has only been a year.

Cons: Still on the expensive side for media. BD-R DL really need to come down to DVD+-R levels soon.

Overall Review: Will happily buy again.
