Most Favorable Review

LOVE This Tablet!

TOSHIBA Thrive AT1S5-T16 1GB Memory 7.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet PC - Easy Grip Back Cover in Black Tie Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)
TOSHIBA Thrive AT1S5-T16 1GB Memory 7.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet PC - Easy Grip Back Cover in Black Tie Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)

Pros: Outstanding display; good touch screen response; comfortable to hold for long periods; feels light but not "cheap"

Cons: Camera location? (if I had to pick a con at gunpoint...)

Overall Review: I did a lot of research over three weeks to first decide between an e-reader and a full android tablet, then between this and a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (I've drooled over the Samsung product since I first got to play with one 18 months ago). But for $20 dollars more (on Newegg at least) than the Galaxy , I think it is worth it for what I feel is a better display and a more responsive touch screen.

Really good budget keyboard, with some minor gripes

Corsair K55 RGB PRO Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard – IP42 Dust and Spill-Resistant, 6 Macro Keys w/ Elgato Integration, iCUE Compatible – Black
Corsair K55 RGB PRO Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard – IP42 Dust and Spill-Resistant, 6 Macro Keys w/ Elgato Integration, iCUE Compatible – Black

Pros: - Although it's subjective, I really like the feel of the keys for a membrane-based keyboard. - Macro and media keys are nice to have.

Cons: - Not fully compatible with iCUE software in that it doesn't support Lighting Link or Scenes. - Lit media keys would have been nice, but this is not a deal-breaker for me.

Overall Review: I really liked this keyboard, but returned it to get a K55 RGB PRo XT, which has individually addressable RGB keys and supports Lighting Link and Scenes in iCUE, mainly because I was fussy about making sure my lighting was fully coordinated in iCUE.

Good balance of quality and cost

Phanteks Eclipse P360A PH-EC360ATG_DBK01 Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case with 2 x 120mm D-RGB PWM Fan Pre-installed
Phanteks Eclipse P360A PH-EC360ATG_DBK01 Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case with 2 x 120mm D-RGB PWM Fan Pre-installed

Pros: - Plenty of room and openings for cable management and routing. - Solid build quality throughout.

Cons: - It would be nice if the RGB fans and LED strip worked with Corsair's iCUE so I can coordinate my keyboard and mouse with them, but this is a minor "nitpick".

Overall Review: After a lot of research into a case that had good airflow and addressable RGB, I found that the Phanteks P360A had the best balance between cost, features, and build quality. The overall case uses a good thickness of metal and the connections and transitions between parts inside the case are solid. There is plenty of room and spaces to do a clean job of cable management. The fans and RGB strip are addressable and I had no problem connecting them to my motherboard header (Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4S) and setting them up. Although the Asrock software is a bit simplistic in the patterns it can run, and it can't address the LEDs individually, it was a good test to make sure the fans and strip ran correctly. Overall, I would definitely recommend this case for almost any level of build.

Nice braided HDMI Cable

Rosewill RCHD-20006 Braided HDMI 2.0 Cable, Black, 10 Feet

Overall Review: I have purchased braided cables in the past that were extremely stiff and difficult to route in my entertainment system, but i am happy to say this Rosewill cable is supple and easy to route, but the braided casing is still thick and strong enough to protect the wires inside. I will definitely be buying more.

Resurrected a dying Xbox One

Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s  - CT1000MX500SSD1
Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT1000MX500SSD1

Pros: Much improved performance over a traditional hard drive, like most SSDs

Cons: None that I know of at 2 weeks after purchase.

Overall Review: Price was good and shipping was on time. I popped the bare drive into my dying Xbox One, installed the Xbox OS, and was back up and running inside of 30 minutes, including disassembly and reassembly of the console. Load times are significantly improved! What used to take several minutes of load time in various games (Anthem, Division 2, and GR: Breakpoint) took an average of 30 seconds or less. It was good to spend more time gaming than waiting.

I'm really enjoying this game

Tom Clancy's The Division - Xbox One
Tom Clancy's The Division - Xbox One

Pros: Good story based on what could "really happen" Economy / RPG system is relatively "painless" for someone not normally into Role Playing Games Good shooting action with challenging situations New York street layout is (in my opinion) amazingly realistic

Cons: Can be a bit of a grind running many blocks to get to a mission or to a collectible Haven't tried it yet, but I hear Dark Zone Missions are brutal to "newbies"

Overall Review: I've been a fan of the Tom Clancy line of games for nearly a decade, and I find myself really getting involved with the storyline and gameplay the The Division offers. And while I'm usually not into multiplayer/massive online/social gaming, connecting with others and working together to complete missions in this game has been remarkably fun for me.

Great Customer Service, Good Product

I initially received the wrong item, but Ellen at Hisgadget customer service took excellent care of the exchange for the correct item and kept me informed at all times, and for that, I am impressed. The vinyl sheet I ordered is easy to work with and can be pulled and re-applied several times to get the correct placement and fit. The carbon fiber pattern is very consistent and attractive, with a nice "fine grain" that looks good on both small items and in larger applications like the vehicle trim I used this for. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.
