Just Works!

Pros: Open frame design for superior airflow. Small case to allow inclusion in tight spaces. Quad 12 volt rails. Unstated elegance (no flashy pretentions...this supply is designed to work, not display useless bling). I'd buy another, tomorrow, if I needed one.

Cons: Small heatsinks and case size had me worried a bit, but found there are paralleled, redundant rectifier stacks, instead of single diodes, which need larger heatsinks. Any concerns I had were unfounded, after reading technical reviews of the supply.
Overall Review: Quiet, very quiet. The first unobtrusive, high-wattage supply I've used.
Polk PSW10

Pros: Cheap. Works.
Cons: Cheap. Good for small rooms.
Overall Review: There is no need to install a "Y" RCA harness to connect both the L and R RCA jacks to a sub out RCA connector on your surround system. You may hook the sub out to either L or R, RCA jacks on the subwoofer, or spend money on a "Y" adapter. Read page 8 of the included manual on hookup via the RCA jacks. Read it again if necessary.
TrendNet Gigabit Switch

Pros: Sturdy metal enclosure. A pleasant surprise! Diminutive size. It may be put anywhere. Plug-and-go. Maybe 1 minute setup time. Outstanding value for the money. Will have to peruse TrendNdet products now. Was hesitant about the purchase, as I didn't know about the product line. No more hesitation.
Cons: The wall-wart D.C. cord needs to be at least a foot or more longer. It's a bit short. That's all I may think of.
Overall Review: I probably should have gotten the 8 port switch, for 10 more bucks. The switch seems well-made, for the money. I would buy another, if needed.
Zonet ZSR1134WE

Pros: Easy, intuitive user interface. the interface looks very similar to another brand router. The color is much darker than the images posted on Newegg, and really looks classy, for an inexpensive unit. The main pro, is the price. Fifteen bucks and two bucks shipping. Who knew? What a deal!
Cons: This router was designed to sit vertically, in its cradle. The vents are on the left and right sides (if horizontal), and will not function well, if the router is horizontal. The vents could also be larger, as the unit does get warm on 100 percent power (with it mounted vertically), but nothing like the heat when horizontal. Not recommended to use horizontally...trust me. Took 1 egg off for the small vents.
Overall Review: I was up-and-running in five minutes, electing to setup via the web-based interface. Range is good, throughout my home. Have had no issues with disconnects/drops. I need a few more of these for cheap networking, at work. No need for dual-band "N" routers there. Just your basic b/g 2.4 ghz fare (wired, and wireless FreeNAS). I use an WNDR3700 for my extensive home network, and plugged this one in temporarily to evaluate. No problems. Haven't used the bridge or repeater functions, so can't comment on those. Value for the money is fantastic. Painless setup, rich feature set, and a small package does it for me.
TowerRAID TR4UT-BP

Pros: Very sturdy Enclosure. Hardware RAID. Small size. Bundled Hi-Speed USB 3.0 external drive enclosure, and RocketRaid PCIe adapter. Rear dip-switch RAID configuring. Fastest home server raid array I've owned.
Cons: Drives cannot be removed from the front, as there are included screws to secure them within the frame. I wouldn't trust the drives to stay "plugged" into their mating sockets, without some form of locking drive frames. An oversight, which should have been handled, by making the enclosure larger. Subtracted an egg for this faux-pas.
Overall Review: Can't seem to find any Windows 7 64-bit drivers for the included RocketRaid PCIe card. Not an issue, as I've got the array plugged into an eSATA slot on my ASUS A8N32SLI Deluxe, which sees service as a FreeNAS box. One other thing, which I'm giving Newegg a 1 egg rating; the packing consisted of the two boxes thrown into the bottom of a HUGE box, and nothing but wadded brown paper thrown on top for padding. Pathetic. The external shipping box was smashed, ripped and full of holes. Both boxes inside were compressed and smashed. By some miracle, everything is working, but with some scuffs on the cases. There's no excuse for this, Newegg. Get your act together, or I'm going to other retailers for products. This is the 2nd shipment out of my last two shipments that was trashed, because of your inadequate packing practices. Free shipping or not, there's no excuse for this. I'm done; flame off.
Imedion AAA NiMH batteries

Pros: High charge retention for long period.
Cons: Could be cheaper, to be more competitive.
Overall Review: Bought these on sale, they are very good batteries.
