Most Favorable Review

Still pretty amazing after 2 years

Zonet ZEW2546 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Zonet ZEW2546 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: This little adapter has an amazingly strong signal for it's size. I've been using it for 2 years now. It's outperformed quite a few other pci/pci-e and usb adapters from my workshop which is not in an "ideal" location for obtaining a signal from my router.

Cons: The included driver disks are only useful for windows XP or Vista. If you are using windows 7 it will control the connection much better than Zonet's software.

Overall Review: This nic also works with the windows 8 developer preview with no configuration needed.

Best budget case I've ever worked with

XCLIO Godspeed Two Advanced Fully Black Finish 0.5 mm SECC / ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I picked this up for a new build for a friend on a budget not expecting much beyond a cheap case with good airflow. It absolutely delivered beyond what I expected. It's frame is decently solid, it's fan controls work well, and it was roomy on the inside. The side fans are very quiet even when turned all the way up, and the top fans are almost silent at low (while still seeming to push a fair amount of air) and offer a pleasant hum at high, while blowing a substantial amount of air out the top. All in all it was easy to work with, looks pretty nice, and is very accommodating. It was more than I could have asked for from a sub $50 case.

Cons: The screw-less fittings are a bit tight on a standard hard drive, as others have mentioned.

Overall Review: Others have commented that you need to remove the top fans to mount the power supply. This is not true! The frame provides a metal tab for the power supply to rest on (presumably to make mounting it easier). It does prevent you from simply dropping the supply in and pushing it back. Instead you need to place the supply in, then push it up into the top of the case then back so that it is resting on the tab. It's a little Tetris like, but not at all hard to do, and requires no disassembly.

Amazing!

Pros: This new monitor just blew my mind! All I can say to describe it is beautiful, both in the beyond stellar display and the construction of the screen itself. It's incredibly slim design and small footprint actually freed up space on my desktop, even though I replaced a 19in widescreen. You will not be disappointed by this screen!

Cons: The try me sticker is annoying... Took a little work to gently ease up a corner to pull it off, I couldn't stand the idea of damaging such a beautiful bezel by scratching it trying to get that silly thing off.

Overall Review: As another commenter mentioned, the default for some reason is very washed out and odd looking. Switching to a different preset such as Scenery as they mentioned (personally in Mass Effect 2 I preferred Theater) corrects that odd choice of factory default. Also there is some wobble if if you shake or knock the desk. Definitely the designers chose form over function with the stand, but it looks wonderful!

Solid MCE tuner

Pros: Bought from Newegg 1 year ago and it's perfect. The HTPC it's in is used non stop and it's been flawless. Plugged in, MCE ran it's channel scan, and was done. Also a well designed remote makes my "tech ignorant" roommate happy as well.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The included viewing software is garbage, but you should be using either windows media center or myth TV anyway.
