Most Favorable Review

Lasted exactly 2 years and one day

Brother HL-3170CDW Duplex Wireless Color Laser Printer
Brother HL-3170CDW Duplex Wireless Color Laser Printer

Pros: * Printed a LOT *Wi-Fi pretty easy to set up.

Cons: * Device tells you toner is empty WAY before it is. However, there are multiple youtube videos telling you how to reset it.

Overall Review: This is a solid, color laser printer. We beat it up bad and it lasted just over 2 years. For the new under $200 price- this is tough to beat.

Most Critical Review

Poor product, GREAT customer service

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B

Pros: FANTASTIC customer service. Quick replacement of the parts. Very communicative and helpful reslving the problem.

Cons: Had to use customer service to replace. Bought 4 sticks. 2 sticks went bad. Had them replaced. Now one of the two replaced and one of the two original are bad and will have to RMA again.

Overall Review: Best customer service in the world and usually an outstanding product- but this particular stick seems to have issues.

Excellent PS

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 800W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Gold Certification and Semi-Modular Cables
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 800W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Gold Certification and Semi-Modular Cables

Pros: Solid construction. Easy to connect power rails. Modular (mostly). Runs very quiet.

Cons: As someone else said, "This product says modular, but there are 4 main cables that are not modular. The two main power plugs for the board (cpu power, and main board plug), and two other pugs for SATA & PCI connections. not a big deal at all though since they needed to be used." These cables are very hard to bend. The motherboard lead cable is shorter then it could be.

Overall Review: Excellent packaging.

Great case for low price

RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WRP Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Raidmax RX-450K 450W Power Supply
RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WRP Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Raidmax RX-450K 450W Power Supply

Pros: Nice looking, runs quiet, light weight, lots of space, excellent air flow

Cons: It is a cheap case. You get what you pay for. For this price, that means metal edges that are not tapered, plastic that looks a little cheap and some pieces that do not line up perfectly.

Overall Review: I bought this case for a friend while building him a new PC. I told him- and I will tell you now- that the case is NOT the place to save money. This is a great case for the price- but you will be better off spending more and getting a better quality case.

Great HDD

WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5000AAKX
WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5000AAKX

Pros: A great mechanical HDD. Price point is good- if you want a cheap HDD, buy a cheap HDD.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Know what you are buying and how to use it. If you are worried about your Windows Experience rating, buy two for a RAID 0 setup or get an SSD drive. Saying "it has moving parts" is like giving a new car a "con" because it does not fly.

Could not be easier

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2

Pros: Plug and play, easy to setup, FANTASTIC range- even through multiple walls/doors in home, great price

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Had a PC with terrible reception from its old wireless card. Decided to try this out and could not be happier.
