Most Favorable Review

Fast, reliable

SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW

Pros: Working fine for me for a month now. Exceeds specs in ATTO where I am getting 555 Read / 540 Write. Not so good with iops in AS-SSD where I only score 86,000.

Cons: No mounting screws. I have seen rediculous complaints about drives without mounting trays and even complaints about drives without included SATA cables. Seriously? Since when do drives come with SATA cables? Mounting screws are mandatory! This is the first SSD or HDD that I have ever purchased that had no mounting screws included with it. Luckily I had other drives to scavenge screws from.

Overall Review: I'm still miffed about no mounting screws.

Most Critical Review

Creates system errors

Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DTSE9H/16GBZ)
Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DTSE9H/16GBZ)

Pros: It is small. It does store data without corruption. It looks nice.

Cons: Every time I plug this drive into my PC I get a slew of Event ID 11 Disk controller errors in my Event Viewer. None of my other USB flash drives do this so the problem is not with my system.

Overall Review: It is not worth the cost of shipping for RMA replacement. They look nice but if you want one that works it's going to be a crapshoot. Take a chance, you might get lucky. They still look nice.

Meh...

BenQ GL2460HM 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 60Hz VGA DVI HDMI Eye-Care Technology Built-in Speakers LCD LED Gaming Monitor
BenQ GL2460HM 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 60Hz VGA DVI HDMI Eye-Care Technology Built-in Speakers LCD LED Gaming Monitor

Pros: The price I paid was very reasonable though it does seem to fluctuate. It doesn't take up a whole lot of desktop real estate with a slightly more than 8 inch diameter base.

Cons: Dead or slightly dead pixel. It might be a combination of dead and stuck at the same time. Whatever it is, it is an annoying bright lime green spot in the lower right side of the screen. During POST or whenever a true black screen is displayed, the spot is bright flourescent green. Whenever another color is needed, it is a slightly dimmed gray color that is hardly noticeable.

Overall Review: I can live with the dim gray spot but the bright green is quite noticeable and very annoying. It makes me very happy that I decided to go with a competitor's 144 Hz gaming monitor instead of the Ben-Q equivalent.

Half decent case

IN WIN GRone Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case ATX 12V/EPS Power Supply Compatible
IN WIN GRone Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case ATX 12V/EPS Power Supply Compatible

Pros: Nicely laid out with good options with the drive cage modularity allowing you plenty of extra room where you need it. Plenty of room inside and it is nice to see a case that still has front drive bays for reservoirs and CD/DVD drives.

Cons: The filters are lousy, at least what few filters that were included with the case. None of them slide out either. They are some kind of weird material that needs to be scrunched up and slid under the tabs that hold them in place. There are no filters at all for the front intake fans. This case should be bundled with a DataVac. I had been led to believe that InWin manufactured a world class PC case only to be thoroughly disappointed. I thought this would be an upgrade from my Cooler Master Stryker but I was dead wrong.

Overall Review: "Filters? We don't need no stinking filters". I have no idea how or what I am going to do to try and keep dust out of my case and off of my beautiful EK waterblocks and out of my radiators. Whenever I think about it all that comes to mind is the "Dust Bowl" in the Midwest during the 1930's. The layout and modularity of drive cages is the half decent part. The lack of filtration is the other half and I don't know how to describe my disappointment in how lazy the engineers were after designing such a magnificent product. I honestly don't see any way to fix such a gaff either. Now go hide your face in shame, InWin.

Stunning case...

anidees AI-Crystal Tempered Glass Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case, Compatible with E-ATX, M/B - Black

Pros: This thing has plenty of room inside to pretty much do whatever your heart desires. Clean and well thought out with lighted fans including a fan controller and a nice shield to hide the cables to your motherboard. The 'basement' keeps everything hidden for an extra clean look. Tempered glass side panels have a nice hefty feel to them and are really sturdy as is the rest of the case. No complaints about the materials used or the workmanship.

Cons: Had an issue with a few stripped screws from being overtightened at the factory. Their Customer Support Team was right on top of it though and had replacement parts on their way within hours.

Overall Review: Great Customer Support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this case to anyone due to the great response time by their staff. I wish there was someplace to hide some extra lighting inside the case but anything is going to be exposed to view through the glass side panel no matter where you put it. I wish the tint wasn't so dark on the glass covering your hardware while the glass on the other side could be a shade darker but that's just me.

Works like a champ

Hoover Whole House Elite Dual-Cyclonic Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, UH71230RM
Hoover Whole House Elite Dual-Cyclonic Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, UH71230RM

Pros: This is one strong good looking vacuum cleaner. Plenty of attachments and not a single scratch, dent or flaw to be found anywhere. I would highly recommend this to a friend as it is a great value for the price. It doesn't get any better than this.

Cons: The roller seemed to be stuck at first causing the belt to smoke. This was easily fixed by my niece and it is now working perfectly.

Overall Review: I bought this for my sister as a birthday gift and she was the one who complained about the belt smoking because the roller wouldn't spin. I'm just glad her daughter fixed it for her. I don't know what she found but maybe there are times you should read the manual included with your purchase. They put those in the box for a reason.

Pleasant surprise

I ordered the LC201 cartridges because that is what my Brother printer came with. When I opened the box, which arrived 3 days early, I was upset because the cartridge was marked LC203-Bk. They looked identical so I installed it and it worked perfectly. The difference is that the 203 is a higher capacity and absolutely compatible with the 201 cartridge. Thanks OW Corp.
