Most Favorable Review

WDA 13230 Linux Ubuntu x86_64

D-Link WDA-1320 Wireless G Desktop Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g 32-bit PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
D-Link WDA-1320 Wireless G Desktop Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g 32-bit PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Ubuntu Linux Configured the Madwifi driver automaticly. It was ready to use and search for networks after fresh install. Very good compatibility w/ linux, uses atheros chipset

Cons: range is not that great (range is always bad w/ linux wifi; as far as i have experianced)

Overall Review: looking back i should have just stuck to wired connection considering how close the router had to be anyway.

Most Critical Review

Broken Too quickly

LOGISYS Computer PS480D 480 W ATX12V Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS480D 480 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: Cheep, high wattage

Cons: Only had running for a few months, although the friend whom i bought it for did not use a surge protector and that probably had something to do with the break.

Overall Review: buy something a little more hardy = $

Inexpensive, Works as expected

Sony Battery CR2032 Lithium 3V (5 Batteries Per Pack)
Sony Battery CR2032 Lithium 3V (5 Batteries Per Pack)

Pros: Inexpensive, and works as expected. Found battery to be of average quality, good for the amount of money spent.

Cons: Not exceptional quality or battery life, but still average.

Overall Review: Quality exceeds the money spent, would buy another pack once I run out.

Love it!

SAMSUNG Chromebook 1.70GHz 2GB Memory 16 GB SSD 11.6" Google Chrome OS XE303C12-A01US
SAMSUNG Chromebook 1.70GHz 2GB Memory 16 GB SSD 11.6" Google Chrome OS XE303C12-A01US

Pros: Awesome Chromebook, Light and slim, surprisingly good performance.

Cons: No UEFI, system predates any attempt at ARM platform standardization.

Overall Review: If you want ChromeOS, it's an awesome buy. If you want to install Ubuntu, awesome if you have some embedded ARM platform experience... or are not afraid to handle a more difficult install than regular x86.

Great drive, would buy again!

WD Re 1TB Datacenter Capacity Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 inch WD1003FBYZ

Pros: Appears to be a great hard drive drive, It's replaced my ancient drive, and all my data copied over fairly quickly. The drive is sturdy and appears strong.

Cons: More expensive than desktop series hard drives.

Overall Review: Worth paying the money for enterprise series hard drive, would buy it again.

Perfect Basic Controller!

SteelSeries 69000 1G Game Controller
SteelSeries 69000 1G Game Controller

Pros: I bought two of these, to replace a couple USB Logitech wingman. They've been working out great, and have the perfect amount of buttons for all my emulation requirements. I run GNU/Linux (Ubuntu), and the controls were practically plug-in-play. They feel similar to the classic PSX controls, but also have turbo. they are pretty solid, considering how inexpensive they were, I'm really satisfied with my order.

Cons: None
