Most Critical Review

Nice but flimsy

MOTOROLA S11-FLEX HD Black/White Bluetooth Stereo Headset
MOTOROLA S11-FLEX HD Black/White Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Pros: Better sound than a single speaker. Before complaining about sound quality. They are less than a c-note and sound accordingly. Wife says she can hear back ground nose from the engine of a big truck, but I can hear her perfectly on my end.

Cons: The plastic broke on the half way mark, charge is closer to 4 hours.

Overall Review: I really like them, but the material used needs to be a bit more flexible to wrap around the back of the head.

Bsod fixed

OCZ Solid 3 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC SLD3-25SAT3-60G
OCZ Solid 3 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC SLD3-25SAT3-60G

Pros: New firmware fixed bsod, quick, perfect boot drive for non enthusiast.

Cons: Took a while for sandforce and ocz to get the bug.

Overall Review: My mother has a dell with a e8400 cpu, with 2 WD 640 gig hard drives. She was looking for a new computer with more oomph since things seem to be slowing down and a drive was showing errors upon boot. So I advised her to switch the power supply, gpu, and grab a ssd. So 1 gold rated power supply, gtx 550 and this ssd for under $300 gave her the feel of a brand new computer after carrying over the good hard drive for storage. The way I figure it, a savings of the cost of a new motherboard, ram and cpu and at least another 3 years for her system the way she uses it.

Usb 3.0

Koutech IO-RCM630 SuperSpeed USB 3.0  Support SD/ CF/ xD/ MS/ MMC. Multi-in-1 Front Panel Internal Card Reader with USB 3.0 Port (3.5")
Koutech IO-RCM630 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Support SD/ CF/ xD/ MS/ MMC. Multi-in-1 Front Panel Internal Card Reader with USB 3.0 Port (3.5")

Pros: Got the usb 3.0 on the front of case now, exactly what I wanted. The included cd gets icons and hides the readers till used.

Cons: To get a internal Connection I had to buy a 20 pin-adapter for this. The adapter cost $20 by itself once found in stock somewhere. It takes two usb 3.0 slots to install. Without the adapter, it connects to the usb 3.0 ports on the rear of the motherboard

It is what it is

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL

Pros: Installed on a GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3, Got me a stable overclock of 4.5 on a 2500k cpu first, turned xmp to profile1 and boom, it's picked up as advertised. Thumbs up to G.Skill for this ram at the price.

Cons: Timings may be a tad too loose for some, but 8 gig, dual channel, 2133 under a c-note.

Overall Review: I got this motherboard with a must buy with a gpu special, 8 usb ports on back. Yea I'll bite that.

It works

ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support
ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support

Pros: Actually I just purchased this in hopes of a bit longer driver support since it was under the new product for search, but it does work, I have only used it as a internal "n" wifi. I may Hook a Hard line up to it to connect other wifi products just to try it out.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I see other uses for this card instead of just a internal solution for wifi, If you have just one comp, then things like media centers, XBox, WII, telivisions and other can piggy back a connection from it without the need of a wireless router. I do not care for the proper name, a more technical inclined person may enhance my vocab in another review.
