Most Favorable Review

Quality

Arctic Silver CMQ2-2.7G Céramique 2 Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound
Arctic Silver CMQ2-2.7G Céramique 2 Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound

Pros: Breaks in quicker than Arctic Silver 5, needs a lessor number of heat/cool cycles. 25 hours versus 200.

Cons: Thick, makes it more difficult to achieve a uniform coat.

Overall Review: Performs as well, in my opinion, as Arctic Silver 5. I use both depending on how hard I want to work.

Decent torch

UltraFire 1600lm CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight Torch Lamp Aluminum Alloy Zoomable Adjustable Light 18650/AAA A100
UltraFire 1600lm CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight Torch Lamp Aluminum Alloy Zoomable Adjustable Light 18650/AAA A100

Pros: Bright! Zoom to focus the beam works, at full zoom the light pattern reflects the LED layout... kinda cool. Company answered emails fast.

Cons: Having to cycle through all the modes all the time, could use a master on/off allowing the other button to be a "mode selector"... Shipping internationally can cause delays.

Affordable quality

ZALMAN CNPS5X Performa 92mm FSB (Fluid Shield Bearing) Powerful Cooling Performance CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS5X Performa 92mm FSB (Fluid Shield Bearing) Powerful Cooling Performance CPU Cooler

Pros: Cheap and efficient. Zalman has been around

Cons: Slightly more noisy than some of Zalman's other heatsink/fan combos.

Overall Review: Cooling an Athlon X2 5000+, replaced a dead water cooling setup.

Good replacement

Great unit for my needs.

LevelOne WBR-6020 Wireless N 300Mbps Broadband Router (Green/Power Saving)
LevelOne WBR-6020 Wireless N 300Mbps Broadband Router (Green/Power Saving)

Pros: Attractive design and styling. Good coverage area, although I have not went on a "walk about" with my laptop to really test the range. Robust menu system (but not overly complex).

Cons: None as of yet. No lockups or anything like that.

Working so far...

Cooler Master Elite Power - 460W Power Supply
Cooler Master Elite Power - 460W Power Supply

Pros: Cooler Master name, lowish price.

Cons: Connectors are kinda lacking... Not much slack left in the power supply wiring after hooking up SATA power. Only one "tree" for molex style power connections. Too short to reach all my power connections, using an extension on one molex in order to reach the front of my case. CASE IS mid-tower Antec Sonata... so not a large case by tower standards.
