Great for Print, Scan and Copy over the LAN
brother DCP-8080DN Laser Multi-Function Copier with Duplex Printing and Networking
Pros: This thing is fast. Even after 24 hours the first page comes out in well under a minute, and then each page after that is of course even faster. Easy setup for print only on Win7 x64 - lots of built in scaling options, web interface.
Cons: Had to download driver package from web site to get the "full" package on my other Win 7 x64 machine, the drivers on the disk would not install. Worked fine for "print only" installation though.
Overall Review: This machine doesn't FAX. If you need FAX, tough?

Llano doesn't like 1600
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL
Pros: Cheap. Works at 1333 with my GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H FM1 AMD A75 and A8-3850. Does NOT work with these at 1600 - at least not at detected settings. Oh well its just an HTPC.
Cons: Doesn't worth with Llano at 1600
Overall Review: You get what you pay for?

Hard to get, but amazing if you do.

Pros: -Fast -Fast -Very Very Fast
Cons: -Hard to get -Very hard to find for sale -Had to win a raffle for the right to pay retail?
Overall Review: Swapped into my Gigabyte x470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi after a BIOS update to replace my 2700x - very smooth process. Incredible performance upgrade in the same socket!

Works great and at the advertised speeds
SanDisk 256GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.1 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 150MB/s (SDCZ74-256G-G46)
Pros: Provided you have the right kind of USB port available to use this CAN read at 150 MB/s in my system.
Cons: Write speeds are obviously much less, and again need the best USB port for the best performance.
Overall Review: Fast reads, decent writes and a neat form-factor.

Lasted nearly 10 years!
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-550VX 550 W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
Pros: Bought this thing with a DDR2 build I did for my wife 10 years ago, just had to retire it last night because it seemed to be getting FLAKY, hadn't even actually died completely yet. That's a good run I'd say.
Cons: Only had a 5 year warranty so they won't replace it I imagine.
Overall Review: If they still make them like this one, get it.

Doesn't like to let my old AM3 motherboards POST with drives attached
LSI LSI00301 (9207-8i) PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Low Profile SATA / SAS Host Controller Card--Avago Technologies
Pros: Works well if I wait until after my machine POSTs to slide the drives into their bays. I was able to use it like this for a week and move all my data from the old arrays to the new one, but I could not leave it in the machine permanently.
Cons: Causes all kinds of weird boot-loops and CMOS/BIOS settings corruption - was never able to just "reboot" with this card in the machine and drives attached to it. These are old consumer grade Gigabyte socket AM3 motherboards.
Overall Review: Will probably work better for people with real server motherboard/BIOS
