CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS Systems - 1350VA/880W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, Sine Wave, 12 Outlets, LCD, PowerPanel

Pros: Flawless operation over the last year and a half. No smells, no noise, no problems whatsoever. Great LCD readout. I like seeing how much power I'm pulling on the fly. Also, the Windows gadget is a plus.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I never needed a UPS until I moved to a different city (in four years at my past residence I had three power outages total, none over 10 minutes). The new place was a different story. Seemed like the power went out almost every day. A good week was just one outage. Length varied. Got tired of my computer eating it every time I was in the middle of something. At full load, I get about 12 minutes drawing around 450 watts. I actually took this on an approximate 10 hour trip last summer...I plugged the UPS into a pure sine wave inverter in my vehicle, then stuck my desktop case behind the driver's seat...bungie corded a monitor to my open glove box door, and used a wireless keyboard and mouse. Tethered with a wireless N adapter to my Thunderbolt to abuse the 4G. Plugged everything into the UPS so when I started the vehicle after a break, the UPS kicked in when the inverter cut so I didn't lose sleep mode. Better than shutting down and restarting the computer every time we stopped. Worked wonderfully. Considering another to back up the entertainment center and game consoles.

Great Lights

AGPtek 10M 100-LED Connectable Christmas Party String Blue Light

Pros: I purchased the blue LED's. They are quite bright and deep in color. There are 7 settings for different patterns, some are fairly complex. They are worth the purchase.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I have a small six foot tree and had to purchase two strands at this length to make it seem "full." I probably could have purchased three sets without over doing it. So, buy accordingly or you may come up short depending upon your expectations.

Great memory, great price

G.SKILL 3GB (3 x 1GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9T-3GBNQ
G.SKILL 3GB (3 x 1GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9T-3GBNQ

Pros: No problems in the year plus I've used the memory in my Foxconn Renaissance I7 system using Windows 7 64 bit. The memory allocates properly upon startup and has always been visible from day one in Windows.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Wish I could afford 24 gigs of this stuff. I don't overclock so I can't speak to how well the memory tolerates that.

Great PS

PC Power & Cooling Fatal1ty Gaming Series 550 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ550FTY)

Pros: Love the modular connections and the build. Peering inside reveals sturdy workmanship. Been running my I7 with GTX260 and four hard drives for a month now without a hiccup.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This 550w OCZ actually puts more amperage on the 12v rails than my Antec Truepower 650w. Seems to run cooler than the Antec under load as well.
