it works, but...

StarTech.com SLIMCDFDCAGE Slim Optical & 3.5in Hard Drive Mounting Bracket for 5.25in Front Bay
StarTech.com SLIMCDFDCAGE Slim Optical & 3.5in Hard Drive Mounting Bracket for 5.25in Front Bay

Pros: It fits, slimline odd's fit, it's hard to bend. (It would be really hard to screw these up). Slimline ATA connect provided.

Cons: You can't actually use half the screw holes for the slimline drive. Also, no screws are provided, so if you buy an OEM slimline drive with no screws, you're outta luck. Paint quality was also a little lacking. I don't understand why this units cost twice as much as the others in its range.

Overall Review: If the slimline drive vibrates or chatters because of the screw holes, I'll probably send this back.

Does everything I want it to.

TekNmotion TM-YB100A 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Black Yapster Universal Gaming Headset

Pros: Construction quality is pretty decent. Audio quality is decent and the mic audio quality is actually pretty good.

Cons: The head-band is starting to rip (it's pleather) but it's been a couple years since I bought these so I wouldn't expect it to really last any longer than it has.

Surprisingly good.

Cyber Acoustics CA3001RB 8 Watts 2.1 Speakers
Cyber Acoustics CA3001RB 8 Watts 2.1 Speakers

Pros: For how much I payed for these speakers, I'm very surprised by the quality of the audio they produce. These are definitely a great value if you just want a 2.1 speaker system and really hardly want to spend any money on it.

Cons: Not the best mid-range/high-range. It's pretty obvious there's no tweeters on these things, so the main speaker is a pretty blatant compromise. But seriously, are you paying for that kind of quality when you buy these things? No.

Nice feature set.

BUFFALO AirStation N300 Wireless Router - WHR-G300N
BUFFALO AirStation N300 Wireless Router - WHR-G300N

Pros: This is a really cool router and has a lot of nice features. I'm not that well versed in network configuration, but I know I have more than everything I need to make my network work the way I want it to. Also, this thing is tiny and is really easy to either wall mount, put on its side, and or use the stand to have it set up vertically. Also, you can load dd-wrt on it, which is awesome.

Cons: It feels easy to break because

A really nice adapter.

BYTECC Bracket-535 5.25" Metal Tray for 2.5", 3.5" HDD/Slim DVD

Pros: The screw holes all line up and the construction isn't bad.

Cons: The faceplate isn't that pretty.

Overall Review: I bought this for an HTPC and it actually looks nice and works well. Granted, my HTPC is pretty ugly, so it's not hard to make it look better.
