Good drive for $50

Pros: Bought to upgrade workstation laptop, easy to install and worked after formatting. Copied a couple of large files and the drive was fast

Cons: None

Good game for $13, but the controls feel a bit lackluster

Pros: Bought this game because it was on sale. I've played similar games such as the Uncharted series, Last of Us, Zelda, etc. This game feels pretty good and plenty of options to go roam.

Cons: The gameplay feels jagged, in which the character movements is not as fluid as other games. I may be biased but after playing for a couple of hours, the controls just felt weird compared to other games. I guess the developers wanted to balance good gameplay with a justifiable control scheme.

Overall Review: I'd give this game 5/5 if not for the control schemes. the AI from other enemies just wasn't my style. I'll probably keep playing this game because the progression system looked pretty good but trying this game for the first time just wasn't feeling the control scheme

Works as expected

Pros: Got it on promo for only $29.99, shipped in a nice plastic container, installed and works. Originally had 4GB, but I swapped it out for these. Windows score of 7.5 for memory.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Ordered on New Years Eve, so shipping took a little more time than expected, just got here a week later. More memory the better, 8GB feels like plenty if your doing a lot of tasks and as a student, this will improve the performance of your machine. This is the first time I've bought from GSKill and would recommend them again.

Nice and solid

Pros: Works as expected, I hooked it up, configured it and works out solid, getting good speeds and it has good range around my home. For the price, it serves pretty well for a cheap router. Once hooked it, it automatically updated my firmware.

Cons: Settings page is not GUI friendly, but who really cares about that.

Overall Review: for $17, ur getting a good router that will enable wifi throughout your home. A good solid product that gets the job done!

Gr8 card after a year

EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card 256-P2-N751-TR
EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card 256-P2-N751-TR

Pros: Bought this a year ago and still runs like a charm. Can play most of the older games but less newer games. But it handle for instance COD4, HL2, CS:S, Fallout 3. Vista Experience increased 5.9 for graphics, 5.5 for gaming.

Cons: My card idles at around 55C and plays games at load of over 70C. So it runs hot on the stock cooler. If you have this card, you can download the EVGA Precision Tool that allows you to keep the fan at 100% and should cool it a couple of degrees.

Overall Review: My system: Intel C2D E4300 at 1.8GHZ, 2G RAM, EVGA 8600GT, Vista Home Premium SP1, 17 in. CRT Monitor
