Most Favorable Review
StarTech.com PCSCREWKIT Assortment of screws, nuts and standoffs
StarTech.com PCSCREWKIT Assortment of screws, nuts and standoffs

Pros: Perfect. Has the label when you open the box to tell you everything you need to know about each different piece. I bought this looking for the hard to find fan screws and you can't tell in the picture, but they are included...50 of them. I'm definitely glad I bought this set.

Cons: A little expensive

Most Critical Review

Less range with N than a laptop's built in G

Pros: Small USB network adapter.

Cons: I bought this with wireless N capability to pick up better than a built in G card on an HP laptop. The built in G card on the HP laptop picks up more networks than this N capable adapter.

Overall Review: Overall I like this adapter and how it's USB, but was expecting it to get better signal than the HP laptops internal G card.

Died after 1 year

XCLIO STABLEPOWER 500W 500 W ATX Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Worked fine for a while.

Cons: Died after a few days longer than a year.

Overall Review: Had this PSU in a test machine of mine which got little use. I'm very surprised it did not last very long. I was hoping for a better experience because of the good ratings.

APEVIA FF80 80mm Fan Filter, 3 Packs
APEVIA FF80 80mm Fan Filter, 3 Packs

Pros: Works well. Doesn't get the smallest particles but if you want it to catch smaller particles you can put two on top of each other as the holes won't line up creating smaller holes. Sturdy.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'm glad I purchased these. I was weary at first, but after using them I am glad I bought them.

Patriot 1GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model PSD21G8002
Patriot 1GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model PSD21G8002

Pros: Works for me. Great price and that was at $71. Now it's even cheaper. This is my second ram stick of this kind. Bought the first one to see if it would work ok with my system and it has worked fine.

Cons: I guess if you're looking for high end memory then this might not be for you, but I'm not a gamer so it doesn't bother me.

Overall Review: Cheap. Works. e6300, 2GB ddr2 800, MSI P6N sli, 7300gt, vista 64bit, xp pro 32
