Pros: This is a great all around motherboard. I used this for my first custom build and I have had absolutely zero problems. Really amazing to be honest. I was expecting at least some sort of trifle, but had none. Went into my case beautifully and easily and the layout was perfect for my other hardware. Plenty of room for lots of ram, 4 SATA plugs for extra storage, its great.
Cons: Does not support FireWire and my case has an unused FireWire hub which disappoints me greatly, but I have firewire on my Mac so I don't miss it too much.
Overall Review: I was building on a budget and this motherboard has really shined through and through. Currently running XP Pro, but considering Vista SP1 after I upgrade to 4gb RAM. I am confident this board will handle anything I throw at it. I definitely recommend to anyone like me who is building on a tight budget but still wants good quality parts.
This is NOT your typical Forza

Pros: This is a good game. Well put together and very polished. The premise of the game is a music festival and I have to say that I enjoy the music in the game. Fantastic character designs. Some of the best human modeling I've seen on a game. Why can't other games get it this right? There's always something happening and the game is designed to keep you playing to get more and go faster.
Cons: I did not install this game to my xbox hard drive so it may be the root of my complaints, but the menus and loading screens are VERY slow. I'm used to the quick and light menu functions of Forza 4. It's excruciatingly slow moving when you are trying to move through the menus. I get it that they are going for a different type of atmosphere in the game, but they've overcomplicated it and I really don't like it. The music is repetitive. Not a bother to me, but some people may get freak out after hearing the same song for the 100th time. The "open world" of Colorado looks big but its pretty small after just a few hours of play time.
Overall Review: I had really high hopes for this game and while it isn't a BAD game, I'll be trading it in soon. I hope Turn 10 has learned what they are best at and continue to support Forza 4.
Good drive. Nice price.

Pros: I love having the speed and capacity of this drive.
Cons: For whatever reason, this and other barracuda drives just aren’t recognized by windows 10? I had to initialize this drive (and other barracuda drives) using my Mac to format it to exFAT where it was then recognized by Windows 10 to be reformatted to NTFS.
Overall Review: Sure I would recommend this drive, it just seems to be a little more work than the PnP experience I was expecting.
So far so good. Works well with XBOX One.

Pros: -The casing is attractive and gives the product a feeling of higher quality than a standard enclosure. -Cooling appears to be more than adequate. A cool drive is a happy drive! -Very good value. This 4TB unit replaces a 3TB drive and enclosure that were cobbled together for the same price. -It's quiet enough that you do not hear it over the audible hisses and hums of everything else in the media cabinet.
Cons: -Included USB cable is shorter than I'd prefer. This is on an XBOX, and the cable is just barely long enough to fit my arrangement. -The power adapter has a 'slim' design, but still manages to crowd nearby sockets, if only just. -Only comes in black. Other WD drives are available in colors, I wish this one was too.
Overall Review: -As of right now, I can't recommend this drive enough simply based on price. It's a high quality, high capacity product.
Great Refurb

Pros: Well packaged, included all OEM accessories + batteries for remote Great looks. Easy to set up. Seems to work on my TV so I'm hoping it works on my dad's TV because this is a gift.
Cons: Remote seems cheap - has a cheap feel when you hold it/push buttons. Batteries included are some terrible off-brand. How expensive is it - really - to include 2 decent AAA batteries? Sound bar seems to be designed for hanging rather than placing on a shelf which is odd seeing as the majority of people don't hang their TVs.
Overall Review: I may put rubber feet on the bottom of the soundbar to keep it from moving around on the glass shelf where it will be placed.
Super Value

Pros: Awesome Value from Newegg. Purchased Refurbished for $469 included 1 yr warranty Awesome size upgrade from my previous 32" LED technology for lower power consumption and instant-on backlight 120hz for more fluid motion tracking than lesser TV's Artificial surround sound for a more cinematic experience built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness. Strong and heavy base is secure and even rotates! TV is very thin 5 HDMI ports and optical audio out! I was also pleased to see 3.5mm audio out. I don't prefer it, but the soundbar I purchased to go with this TV uses 3.5mm inputs and this works like a charm. Also great for parties when other people have their iThingys and want to plug them into an audio source.
Cons: Its a budget TV. You can tell that this isn't a $1200 Samsung. The MEMC fluid motion isn't as great as a more expensive TV with a better processor The remote is a master class in poor design. I genuinely don't like it. The surround sound is only good if you've got a soundbar to go with it. Definitely recommend a soundbar to improve low frequencies and overall clarity. The built-in speakers aren't bad, but they definitely aren't great. Ambient light sensor is right on the front of the TV and looks kind of cheap. TV is heavier than I expected. Maybe not really a con, but I expected a slim LED TV to weigh less. No legacy input support. You'll need a converter for anything that doesn't use HDMI
Overall Review: I'm glad I got the 1 yr warranty for free because this IS a refurb unit. I am going to purchase the extended warranty as well just in case. So far it's a great TV and TCL receives great reviews across the internet so I don't expect to have problems, but it is always better to be prepared.
