Cheap, Good

Nippon Labs 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure  for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive Model EN-25SATA
Nippon Labs 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive Model EN-25SATA

Pros: Its obviously cheap It was about 6 dollars back in june when i bought it. It does its job exactly how its supposed to do. I put in a extra laptop harddrive i had and XP recongized it instantly. Very light. The casing of the enclosure seems flimsy but actually holds together quite well.

Cons: The USB cord it came with is not a very good one, doesnt transfer data fast at all. It takes a while to access it, but I replaced it with a normal male to male usb cable i had lying around, and works fine now. Carrying case is more like a cheap leather sleeve, that really doesnt do much but make it run hotter. The usb cord is the only reason i give it 4 stars.

Overall Review: The screws that attach the whole thing together are very small, and can strip easily if your not careful. Otherwise its a great enclosure.

Great game

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition PC Game
Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition PC Game

Pros: The recreation of the Jersualem and Damascus are visually amazing, the detail that is in them is second to none. Running at near full tilt made it even better. It was extremely fun playing it. As well as a long game that took me a while to beat, which is a good thing, I hate games that have a short single player. Great story line to the game. Was set up for a sequal.

Cons: Controls are not very user friendly, its different from most games that you will play. Once you get used to them it gets alot better. The ride between different cities is kind of boring and gets old after awhile, but eventually you can skip that part. The main guy at the end, for me at least, was almost impossible to defeat. But can be defeated after you figure it out. Otherwise the game is quite a breeze to beat up to the last point.

Overall Review: Its not really a game that I would want to play a second time through, kind of like the first half-life. Just no inspiration to play through it agian. But is a great one time play, and for the price i would recommend it.

Great memory

Pros: Runs great, never had a problem with them. It was pretty much plug and play. Comes with a heatsink already attached to it. They run cool, and is great if you need to add more memory.

Cons: none

Very good

ePOWER EP-550XPF 550 W ATX12V Power Supply
ePOWER EP-550XPF 550 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: A great PSU for the money. Extremely quiet, cost effective. It does a great job of running all the gear on my pc. The two fans keep it very cool, and comes with all kinds of size connectors, which is convient, but a hassle when trying to get good airflow, but some zip ties clears that right up. Its heavy but works great like I said before.

Cons: Wont fit in dell computer cases, so i had to set it on top of the case, kind of like a external power supply, until i get another case. But that is my fault. Its also the heaviest PSU I've ever picked up.

Overall Review: Along with having lots of types of connectors it the wires are very long, and can screw up airflow, but if you zip tie the wires to the chasis, it really doesnt do any harm
