Most Favorable Review

Picked this up for my new build

PNY GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCG86512GXPB-OC
PNY GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCG86512GXPB-OC

Pros: I picked this up for my new PC build and was a little leery about getting an item that wasn't reviewed. So far, I am happy with my decision. After placing my order, I have done some more research and found that this carries 1 yr warranty and an additional 2 years when you register with PNY. Price after rebate was very nice!

Cons: none at this time

Overall Review: Put into my build of: Asus P5K-E, Intel Q6600, Crucial Ballistix (4GB), Coolermaster CM690 case, 650W Coolermaster Real Power pro PSU, 2 SATA DVD burners (Lite-on and Samsung), 500GB Samsung SATA HD, LG 20" WS monitor This machine will get me up to date from my current 5 yr old set-up that has me struggling to run games (P4 2.4 (no HT) with 1GB ram and ATI All-in-wonder). Will follow-up after machine is built and broken in.

Most Critical Review

You get what you pay for...

Spire CF401B 80mm PCI Slot Case Cooler
Spire CF401B 80mm PCI Slot Case Cooler

Pros: It's good for it's low price if you don't mind it wearing out within 1 year of use.

Cons: Cheaply made with all plastic bearings. It gets noisy and doesn't push air and dies on you in less than a year of pretty constant use.

Overall Review: I bought this to help evacuate eat away from my new video card. It worked for a while but then got noisy and was not moving air. You get what you pay for - always remember that!

Pretty Decent overall - little issues

SAMSUNG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-/+R 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Combo Model SH-B123L/RSBP LightScribe Support
SAMSUNG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-/+R 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Combo Model SH-B123L/RSBP LightScribe Support

Pros: Works with the iMac, plays blu-rays, software included to play movies, rips CDs (most of the time), fast ripping when it can read disc well enough

Cons: Sometimes a CD that is a little scratched fails to rip when the drive in the iMac works fine with same CD - seems to be a little sensitive to some well worn media

Overall Review: Plugged into an external bay via USB 2.0, this thing plays movies just fine - I don't mind the older software as it works for what I want it to do...play Blu-rays

Great for the new iMac

G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBSQ

Pros: Plugged it in and it worked perfectly! Not much more can be asked! Pops in easily and system recognized it on initial set-up - I'm pleased, especially since I saved a boatload over Apple's upgrade options.

Cons: None at this time - the box came a little dinged up but that was because free shipping was via US Mail and in a lightly padded envelope - could do a little better Newegg!!

Overall Review: 2011 imac 27" - 3.4GHz i7 Sandy Bridge - 12GB Ram (including this 8GB of G.skill) - 6970M 2GB GDDR5 - 2TB Seagate HDD

I love my STAPLER

Swingline 74736 747 Business Full Strip Desk Stapler, 20-Sheet Capacity, Rio Red

Pros: This is the best stapler....EVER! It works so good that when my boss tried to take it away from me, I kept it and hid it. My boss didn't like that too much and kept moving my office location from place to place until I wound up in the basement.

Cons: My boss wanted it back...I wouldn't give it back to him.

Overall Review: I showed them how much I love my stapler...now I'm sitting on a beach drinking Mai Tais

Great drive - even better price

Hitachi GST Travelstar 5K320 HTS543232L9A300 (0A56417) 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I bought this back in August for $119 - great price now! Installed in a 60GB PS3 without issue - works flawlessly and hasn't had a single hiccup.

Cons: the price I paid nearly 6 months ago compared to now :(

Overall Review: Don't think, do it - PS3 upgrade approved! Just be careful with those screws - stanley has a tool kit that serves this purpose perfectly for under $8 - you are going to buy the HD and take apart the PS3, get the right tools at your local everything-mart.
