Most Favorable Review

Great router

D-Link Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) Wireless N300, SmartBeam Coverage, Gigabit, USB SharePort
D-Link Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) Wireless N300, SmartBeam Coverage, Gigabit, USB SharePort

Pros: Excellent router. I bought this router back in March of 2012 and it has performed flawlessly, no resets. I got 2 laptops and 2 PC's on the wireless and I get great signal and good range. Nice design, too.

Cons: Has dropped in price since I purchased it.

Overall Review: I could never understand why people judge a product or manufacturer harshly calling it "junk" or telling people not to buy it based on their one bad experience with the product. There is no such thing as a perfect brand, just some better than others.

Most Critical Review

Great but fragile

Support Win 8.1 - EDUP 2in1 Client / AP Mini 300M 300Mbps USB WiFi Wireless N LAN Network Adapter 802.11 n/g/b EP-N1571
Support Win 8.1 - EDUP 2in1 Client / AP Mini 300M 300Mbps USB WiFi Wireless N LAN Network Adapter 802.11 n/g/b EP-N1571

Pros: Easy setup. Good strength of wifi signal.

Cons: After about 6 months,this little thing broke when I pulled it out of the front usb slot. The sleeve just stripped off of the electronics and is now useless, and it was even a strong pull, just pulled on it normally. Very cheaply made.

Overall Review: If you handle this adapter with care, it works great, but it is very delicate. Probably would not buy again.

Mid Tower? Really!?

Gamemax Nova N5 Black USB3.0 Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/  1 x Rainbow LED  Fan x Rear (Pre-Installed)
Gamemax Nova N5 Black USB3.0 Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/ 1 x Rainbow LED Fan x Rear (Pre-Installed)

Pros: Decent case. Fit all my stuff.

Cons: This Mid Tower case is smaller than my Micro ATX case. The cooling in this case is terrible. First of all, the power supply is mounted on top not allowing any AIO or exhaust fans to be mounted on top for better cooling. A full ATX motherboard just barely fits in it and cable management is a challenge when using a full ATX motherboard. Also the front panel completely covers the fans in front not allowing for good airflow or ventilation. It does have cut outs on the sides to allow air but they are very narrow and covered with mesh. Also the front ARGB fans cannot be seen due to the plastic front panel covering them. What good is having ARGB fans if you can't see them. The only way for me to keep the CPU cool when gaming was to have the side panel off and removing the front panel.

Overall Review: Considering all the negatives I would not recommend this case. It would be a good improvement if the front panel was covered in mesh to allow better cooling and also make the ARGB fans visible.

do not buy

ORICO Tool Free 2.5 inch USB 3.0 SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD Support UASP and 6TB Drive Max -Blue
ORICO Tool Free 2.5 inch USB 3.0 SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD Support UASP and 6TB Drive Max -Blue

Pros: None.

Cons: This hard drive enclosure has corrupted two of my hard drives and rendered them useless. When it was new, it worked well for a few minutes, then it began to intermittently turn off then turn on. Next thing I knew it was indicating that my hard drive had bad sectors. Now bear in mind, this hard drive was working fine before in another enclosure. The hard drive became useless and could not be repaired. Thinking the drive was going bad anyway, I tried another one. Well, same thing, the drive eventually couldn't be read by windows and I lost all my data. The enclosure had rendered another drive useless. Stay away from these. I didn't return due to cheap price and not worth returning.

Overall Review: Lost two drives because of this piece of junk.

Very disapponted

Patriot Memory 64GB Xporter Pulse (PSF64GXPPUSB)
Patriot Memory 64GB Xporter Pulse (PSF64GXPPUSB)

Pros: Patriot name.

Cons: Dud

Overall Review: I bought this stick from another office supply place for 19.99. This was a great deal and I went with the Patriot reputation for making top notch memory, however, when I received this, it simply did not work. I tried it on several PC's and laptops and not a single one detected it...nada. I have owned many usb sticks in the past, some have stopped working after a while, this was the first one that I ever received new that did not work.

One of the best

Pros: Excellent quilaity keyboard for such a low price. Great tactile feel. Unless your really into fancy buttons on keyboards, this one sould satisfy anyone. I've owned this board since 2007 and still use it on my main computer.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Get em while they got em.
