Most Favorable Review

1/4 was bad, good and running now

OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (The Official Memory of the Championship Gaming Series)
OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (The Official Memory of the Championship Gaming Series)

Pros: Easy to install like any other RAM. Nice heat spreaders. It was cheap after rebate.

Cons: 1 of my 4 sticks was bad. :( I had to RMA it. Newegg replaced it at my cost of shipping it back to them. ($6 or so) I tried it in every single slot, my computer didn't boot up.. made a beeping sound. Tried the other one, and it worked like a charm.

Overall Review: Can't beat the price. 8gb of ram for this cheap is too good to pass on. Although there may be better RAM out there for as cheap... I'm happy with mine... I'm not a overclocker, so I don't know how the performance there is. It rates a 5.9 on WEI for memory... like any other RAM.

Most Critical Review

First day w/ Zotac 9500 GT

ZOTAC GeForce 9500 GT 512MB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card ZT-95TEH3M-FSL
ZOTAC GeForce 9500 GT 512MB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card ZT-95TEH3M-FSL

Pros: -Cheap, got it from shell shocker for $30 after rebate. -HDMI works perfectly -worked for my HTPC (case can take full cards) -no problem w/ HD video playback (flash videos and 1080p video files) -small (very "short") -nice heatsink

Cons: -DDR2 -small but won't fit standard htpc low-profile slots -small fan -not sure if it's a con, but WEI 4.8 and 6.2

Overall Review: Used this to replace pretty old ATI Radeon 2600XT that failed recently. That card was able to get a Windows Experience Index of 5.8 (Aero) and 6.4 (Gaming). With this card I get 4.8 (Aero) and 6.2 (Gaming). A little disappointed, but nothing surprising. The card seems to work fine w/ everything I use the HTPC for... youtube HD, streams i.e veetle, HD video playback, Recording/Playing TV from TV tuner so I am satisfied w/ my purchase HTPC Spec: E5200 2.5ghz 2gb of not so great DDR2 ram Zotac 9500 GT Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM HD

Just got my Cruzer Micro

Pros: No more losing your cap! This is an average flash memory other than that. Don't let those people that say "U3 sucks" fool you. You can get rid of it in 1 min. When you open "My Computer" right-click on the memory stick (should be named something like "U3 Launcher") and go to "explore." You're now in the memory stick, and there should be 3 things, an "autorun", "U3launcher.exe", and a zip file. Open the zip file, and there should be a file that's something like "U3 Launcher Remove.exe" Run that program, and it'll remove U3 forever! U3 didn't seem too bad, but I know I would've been annoyed with it. The casing is actually pretty nice. The white part in the center lights up orange when you put it into the USB. Also a keychain ring is on the case so you can keep it with all your keys. It's pretty small, but not the smallest.

Cons: You need to remove U3. (no problem removing it) You don't get the lanyard like the picture shows. :( Not cool.

Overall Review: We'll see how long this one will last.

BTC 6300C Silver & Black 104 Normal Keys 13 Function Keys USB Ultra Slim Multimedia Keyboard
BTC 6300C Silver & Black 104 Normal Keys 13 Function Keys USB Ultra Slim Multimedia Keyboard

Pros: I really wasn't expecting much, I wanted a slim laptop like keyboard, and this keyboard had the best key configuration in my opinion. The scissor style keys work very well, and I am very pleased with the quality of this hardware. The keys are very quiet, and is way better than a Dell laptop keyboard. It does feel a little awkward at first, in a day or two you'll get used to it. It's really thin! The pictures don't show it too much.

Cons: Not good for those who like to lift the back of the keyboard. The back stand is VERY LOW. Luckily, I like to type flat so this is a plus for me. I haven't used it to the point where the paint starts falling off, but it may soon be...

Overall Review: I was skeptical since I've had a bad experience with keyboards from companies I've never heard of. BTC definately exceeded my expectations.
