CORSAIR ValueSelect 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CMSO16GX3M2A1333C9

Pros: Works good in my Dell XPS L502X! If you question if your laptop supports it, google around about your specific chipset, the north bridge most notably. Any modern RAM is fast enough for my needs.

Cons: None, to me RAM works or does not.

Most Critical Review

Dead jacks.

Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Every thing goes into the case as a hot knife cuts butter. Very well made, and very easy to work with. The case also looks fantastic. The metal grill on the front is fantastic.

Cons: The front audio jacks stopped working on 2 out of 3 of the cases which I purchased (the third one I do not service, so I do not know if they still work or not). I emailed newegg, and emailed plus called Cooler Master. Newegg said they couldn't help me aside from me completely dismantling the computer, mailing them the case, and waiting for a replacement (costly and extremely anouying to my customers), and Cooler Master never returned a single email or (long distance) phone call.

Overall Review: Would of been a 5 if some one could of helped me. What good is a product if there is a common defect that no one wants to own up to and fix? If you care about front audio ports, I can't help but tell you to avoid this, and any other products from Cooler Master that may use the same ports.

It's a running theme, died in a year.

NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (GS605NA)
NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (GS605NA)

Pros: Connections so fast you're limited by harddrive speed, looks nice, can be mounted vertical or horizontal, in general good product...

Cons: ...but it seems as though they break in under a year. A very common theme here, but why do people give it any stars at all? What good is a networking product that does not last longer than a year?

Overall Review: Avoid this. It's fantastic while it works, but once it's broke it's broke!

StarTech.com Model ZENSVID1 3.3 ft. S-Video Cable Male to Male
StarTech.com Model ZENSVID1 3.3 ft. S-Video Cable Male to Male

Pros: Well constructed, good looking interconnects, thick, MUCH better than my old 15inch s-video to RCA cable

Cons: None

Overall Review: I use this cable for capturing between my video card and my Huappage PVR-250. The results are suboptimal compaired to a fully digital solution, but better than expected :)

Comments: I purchased this printer for my sister who has recently gotten a digital camera. The images printed on Canon's photo paper were ashtonishing. The brightness apears far better then any low grade photo developer.
