Most Critical Review

Starforce??

DiRT PC Game
DiRT PC Game

Pros: Game has awesome graphics, plays well

Cons: After install, Played another game that was already on my system. One of the cores of CPU raced at 100% after, couldn't stop it. It calls it self "system" Don't mind copy protections , IF THEY DON"T MESS UP MY SYSTEM!!!

Overall Review: Going in the trash, there is a starforce removal tool at their website.

watch memory settings

GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P (rev. 1.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Numerous usb ports, good feature set

Cons: wasn't plug and play

Overall Review: Board booted with auto memory settings, but couldnt get windows 7 installer to move past expanding files. BIos had memory multiplier set to 8, I lowered to 4 and it went through without a hitch. Memory used wasnt on Gigabytes approved list, but it matched specs on paper....so I suggest you stick to the approved memory .

Great Compact TV

Philips 26" 720p 60Hz LED-Backlit LCD HDTV 26PFL4907/F7
Philips 26" 720p 60Hz LED-Backlit LCD HDTV 26PFL4907/F7

Pros: -Lightweight for easy wall mounting -Includes Wireless adapter and RJ45 for Net access. -Ridiculously easy setup of Network access, Net Apps, Over the air - Picture on par with popular brands -One of very few small 'net enabled TV's

Cons: I consider the text on some of the app set ups a little small, But hey I'm old!

Overall Review: For the cost, you really can't beat this TV. It is perfect for kids rooms, dorms, kitchen or bath wall mount, etc.. Big enough for easy viewing, but not big enough to get in the way. Kudos to Phillips for putting out a small full featured TV. as not everyone needs or has the space for a huge set.

The Good & the Bad

AMS DS-3151SSBK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA SATA SATA Backplane Module
AMS DS-3151SSBK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA SATA SATA Backplane Module

Pros: Compatible with other AMS external enclosures. Works reasonably well. Reasonable price.

Cons: DOA - was a loose power connection in back. Fixed it myself, but was I kind of aggravated. Will not work with certain raid controllers. Has 5 power connections in back that seem to all require power for the box to function - Is this really necessary?

Overall Review: I own 5 Venus enclosures of various vintage and number of disks. I have had 2 trays break out of 20 trays and one 2 disk external burn up after 2 years or so. Many of the complaints are unmerited, because to be fair, if you look at the tray levers design, it is usually because
