SONY Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 8X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 8MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner BD-5300S-0B
SONY Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 8X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 8MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner BD-5300S-0B

Pros: It is a good blu-ray burner. Had 8mb cache while other brands had 2mb.

Cons: OEM, so no software or anything. Not even warranty card. Most BD-r are 4x (this can do 12x) so it takes like 40-60mins to burn a full disc.

Overall Review: Downloaded free blu-ray burning software like CDburner XP, ImgBurn, and Ashampoo works. Free disc burner 3 doesn't work.

works on gateway LT2106u

Crucial 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model CT25664AC800
Crucial 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model CT25664AC800

Pros: Works on first installation, no issues. No more lagging or pixelation from watching video movies: mpg4.

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: My Gateway LT2106u netbook was using 1gb of the slower PC2 5300. But I checked Cruial's website and got it here for cheaper.

It works

Crucial 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model CT25664BC1067
Crucial 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model CT25664BC1067

Pros: Worked on the first try.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: I placed the 2gb stick into existing 2 gb for my Lenovo Thinkpad W500. I didn't notices any speed bump or performance that much for normal use. I can now open more programs without any slow down. Yes Vista is a memory hog.

works for PS3

Seagate Momentus 5400.4 ST9250827AS 250GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Momentus 5400.4 ST9250827AS 250GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: It is quite and worked as it should.

Cons: as with the case with most hard drive it is less then the listed amount, about 232GB not 250.

Overall Review: Used this to upgrade my 20GB PS3 and is like nothing has changed except for more memory.

excellent value

COOLMAX CP-500T 500 W EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply
COOLMAX CP-500T 500 W EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Got the rebate after a couple of months. It has all the cables and power I needed for my built. Quiet and smaller then the other PSU. Fits in my lian li case well.

Cons: None really

Overall Review: Anymore wattage and I would be paying too much for power bill.

getting cheap

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ

Pros: Got this pair for 110 about a year ago and got another pair with this new price. Have no problem with this yet. Very stable.

Cons: none really

Overall Review: Wished Vista 32 would read the full 4GB, but only read 3GB. Upgrade to Vista 64 and got all 4GB.
