G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10D-16GSR

Pros: -So much space for activities! -Fast -No problems in a year

Cons: none

Most Critical Review
Rosewill Throne - Black ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case - Supports E-ATX / XL-ATX, Up to 8 Fans
Rosewill Throne - Black ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case - Supports E-ATX / XL-ATX, Up to 8 Fans

Pros: -lots of space and fans -awesome lights

Cons: -fans are low quality and will need to be repaired/replaced after ~1-2 years -the footing of the tower is made of cheap plastic and breaks super easily, but the tower itself is mostly metal. so, after making new wood feet everything turned out fairly well

cheap plastic

Rosewill 2.5" External Hard Drive 100% Screw-Less Enclosure, SATA to USB 3.0 Tool-Free for 2.5" SATA I/II HHD, Up to 1TB, Supports UASP, Plug and Play - RX100-PU3-25B
Rosewill 2.5" External Hard Drive 100% Screw-Less Enclosure, SATA to USB 3.0 Tool-Free for 2.5" SATA I/II HHD, Up to 1TB, Supports UASP, Plug and Play - RX100-PU3-25B

Pros: -Turns internal drives to external

Cons: -Cheaply made -Easily breakable plastic -Unhidden, loose internal wiring -No padding/cushion or fitted seating for HDD (it just dangles and bangs around loosely inside)

Overall Review: I've found MUCH higher quality for the same, or relatively close to the same, price.

awesome little tv

Samsung UN32H5203 32" Class 1080p 60Hz Smart LED HDTV
Samsung UN32H5203 32" Class 1080p 60Hz Smart LED HDTV

Pros: -Great picture -Awesome features -Easy to use

Cons: -Doesn't recognize coax as an input in setup (when choosing which input is the cable box in setup the option for just plain coax is missing. very strange considering RCA and composite were still options, along with the usual hdmi and dvi..) -Sometimes has some hiccups with the wifi despite being ~7 ft from the wireless router (only for a few seconds and only ~once a week or so. fairly typical for most wifi devices, but not when they're so close)

Overall Review: for the price i payed, you can't really beat it

not bad, horrid hdd

Acer Aspire One AOD257-13478 Espresso Black Intel Atom N455(1.66 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook
Acer Aspire One AOD257-13478 Espresso Black Intel Atom N455(1.66 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook

Pros: -Small -Cheap -Windows 7 (win 7 starter, but can be fixed. at least its not win 8..) -Upgradable

Cons: -The 250 HDD provided was made by Hitachi, which means it's almost useless.. (so ~ a year of life in it, if lucky) but i had a SSD laying around so i just mirrored it. -Insane amounts a preinstalled fluff-ware (~2 hours of uninstall. seriously, it's like whoever set it up put every waste-of-space software on it. Even the virus of an anti-virus McAfee... Ew...)

Overall Review: The price and win7 over win8 make it worth the price. especially if you replace the HDD(with almost any other brand) and add an extra gig of ram. I'd actually give it ~3.5 eggs (-1 for HDD, -0.5 for fluff-ware)

Better than 8

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Pros: Better than WIN8

Cons: -many legacy problems carried over from past WIN-OS's

Overall Review: If a large company makes an OS like this without all the corporate crud that seems to be ladled on MAC and WIN they would take over the market. Linux isn't bad, but no one in my immediate friends/family can use it except me..
