Seagate Backup Plus

Seagate 500GB Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model STBU500100 Black
Seagate 500GB Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model STBU500100 Black

Pros: Started with a windows 7 machine the included software was great, the drive was recognised without any issues. Had a lightning strike kill my windows 7 machine and so I tried it out on my Ubuntu machine the software does not work but the drive was recognised without problems and it actually still worked! This device prefers USB 3.0 but the speed drop is not too bad with USB 2.0. As a backup device you cant ask for too much more!

Cons: Somewhat slow this device is a platter style hard drive not a SSD.

Overall Review: This little backup drive does what its designed to do, its well made and can take abuse and keep going. I still cant belive this thing is still working after the lightning strike!!

MSI 5870

MSI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R5870 Lightning
MSI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R5870 Lightning

Pros: It works - looks cool.

Cons: After a lot of looking around this is what I found: The MSI Lightning is voltage locked and voltages can not be adjusted with afterburner without a bios flash and doing so will void the warranty.

Overall Review: Drop the price and sell this product for what it is a non overclocking card that looks pretty, all show no go. And stop advertising this product as being able to adjust voltages, that's deceptive advertising pure and simple.

EBL 18650

EBL 6 Pack 18650 Battery 3.7V 3000mAh Li-ion Rechargeable Batteries for Digital Cameras, Toys

Pros: These batteries work and they last , replaced the old batteries after charging - perfect..

Cons: Getting hard to find EBL 18650 batteries - had none at other online sites..

Overall Review: Great price - got 12, good thing I checked New egg, - shipping was next day at no extra cost - the other sites batteries don't compare - all of my EBL 18650 batteries are years old so I looked for replacements. Tried some "green" inexpensive 18650 batteries another site was offering - they work but not for long - they take forever to charge and get hot in use and during charge [not good].. several would not take a charge. And I had to wait almost a month for the other sites batteries to arrive.. Thank you New Egg..

SUNON FN-HA40101V4-0000-C99 40mm Super silence 3pin. Vapo bearing Case Fan

Pros: Its a Sunon fan - it will work and last a long time - quiet does the job.

Cons: None to speak of -

Overall Review: Fans are something folks like to buy cheap and complain when they go out - I used to think like this - got annoying replacing inexpensive fans - lesson learned..

San Ace 120

NEW SANYO San Ace 120 9SG1212P1G03 DC12V 4A 120mm 12CM 120x120x38mm 4Pin Cooling Fan
NEW SANYO San Ace 120 9SG1212P1G03 DC12V 4A 120mm 12CM 120x120x38mm 4Pin Cooling Fan

Pros: Came undamaged - works perfectly. Using 2 of these on a new system. At full power 260 CFM the fans are far from quiet but not as loud as others - fans can be ran at low power for silence.

Cons: 12 volt 4 amp - can not be ran off most motherboard fan headers [most are limited to 1 amp] - a fan controller or speed controller is advisable, 260 CFM at 6000 RPM is going to get old quick.

Overall Review: Good fan but capable of causing injury a fan guard is recommended.

Great Tools - Good shipping time and packed well- the product I purchased was to say the least - in orders of magnitude better than the import product it replaced.
