Good Bluetooth speaker

Philips BT2000 Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Black
Philips BT2000 Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Black

Pros: No issues with it so far, battery life seems good, been using it for several hours and hasn't needed recharged yet.

Cons: Doesn't seem quite bass-y enough ... I'd rate this as really minor though. On thing that does perplex me is the string bit... what's it supposed to do, look cool?

Overall Review: Overall I think this is a decent speaker. Gets plenty loud enough, maybe the bass is a bit lacking, but my Gawwd (Happy now NE?), it's the size of 2 hockey pucks... what do you want?! I really don't understand what the string is for... if it had a clip or something or it was a loop, I could see tying it to something... otherwise it just looks neat. Bottom line, am I happy with it? Yes. Would I buy it again, yes again.

Nice card, but seriously whiskey tango foxtrot?

ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5

Pros: Card is smaller in length and width than the 6950 pair it replaced, is nearly silent by comparison while gaming and takes everything I've thrown at it so far. Pretty impressive. It also mounts up more securely in the case too.

Cons: My only gripe with this card, and it's so stupid it's amazing, is some nimrod at ASUS decided to make the power indicator light a 50 lumen white light LED. If you have a solid case, no big deal other than a waste of power. If you have a case with a window or a screen like I do, expect to have some kind of bizarro white ceiling pattern when you shut the computer down at night. I wouldn't care, but you can't turn this stupid thing off! MSI and Gigabyte apparently can shut it off, but no, not ASUS. Ok, so it's turned on as long as the power supply switch is in the on position, could ya at least triple the series current limiting resistor to cut the intensity down? I don't need to be able to use it as a nightlight, or see it from outer space. As an electrical engineer, this is really a facepalm design.

Overall Review: Good solid performer, quiet, and cool running. Power on led doubles as a nightlight or landing light for local airport. Use only with a non-light transmitting case.

Pretty darn good monitors for the money!

Westinghouse WH32UX9019 32" Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K Resolution 2xHDMI DisplayPort Flicker-Free Low Blue Light Filter Frameless Design Widescreen LED Backlit LCD Monitor
Westinghouse WH32UX9019 32" Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K Resolution 2xHDMI DisplayPort Flicker-Free Low Blue Light Filter Frameless Design Widescreen LED Backlit LCD Monitor

Pros: Nice bright displays, not much to complain about really.

Cons: Only complaint I really have is you need to put these on a stand because they sit kinda low. Is it worth taking off a star, or not buying them? Absolutely not. Only other bummer is the controls are on the right side vs bottom, so if you have 2 side by side, it's tough to adjust the left one without moving it. Again, worth a point off? No.

Overall Review: Good monitors, happy with my purchase, just need a couple little tweaks like a higher base to set them on, and put the controls on the bottom. If I didn't already have another pair of 27 inch 4k monitors for the other computer, I'd immediately buy 2 more. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome 4k Monitors

LG 27UD58P-B 27" IPS 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor, 3840 x 2160, 1000:1 Contrast Ratio, DisplayPort, HDMI, Tilt / Height Adjustable, VESA Compatible
LG 27UD58P-B 27" IPS 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor, 3840 x 2160, 1000:1 Contrast Ratio, DisplayPort, HDMI, Tilt / Height Adjustable, VESA Compatible

Pros: Stands are high enough you do not need additional height to view them at a good neck angle. Rotatable base allows you to go to portrait mode without having to mess around. Good sharp clear picture out of the box, didn't have to make any adjustments to put 2 monitors side by side. Reasonably thin bezel allows you to put them close together, also you can turn off the power indicator light (the illuminated screen is usually a good enough indication they're on)

Cons: Can't cook or clean for you. Cable management loop is a little small... I'm nitpicking as I honestly can't find anything to complain about.

Overall Review: I am totally satisfied with my purchase of two of these monitors for my computer at work. I now have the screen real estate that makes sense with a modern computer. Super fantastic deal at 250 a piece on a shell shocker, I was totally at the right place at the right time. These monitors are awesome! If I didn't already have a 32 inch 4k on my other machine, I'd definitely buy 2 more of these. It has been a long time since I have been this satisfied with a purchase, any purchase to the level of these monitors. Well done.

They work, sorta.

Sennheiser - Noise Cancelling Headphones (PXC 250-II)
Sennheiser - Noise Cancelling Headphones (PXC 250-II)

Pros: They are well made, and very compact, they fold up and go in a case that's maybe 4x6x1 inches. They are lightweight, and comfortable, battery life is decent. Sound reproduction is pretty good, but it I'm not sure if they are the most powerful drivers I've ever heard.

Cons: Noise cancelling... um... sorta... if you have them on your head, and you don't have them turned on, it's actually louder than if you had nothing on at all. I'm not sure how they accomplished that feat, but it's true. While they are pretty good and clear sounding, they don't seem to filter out background noise that well. I use them while flying, as I've been doing field service work, and while it's an improvement, flying in the back of a DC9, all you're gonna hear is music with Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in the background. They'll take the edge off, but regular shooting ear protection will do that too. I'd expect active cancellation to have a bit more power than this.

Overall Review: I think the system is probably a good base, and as I got mine brand new from an estate sale, I can't complain for the price I paid. I'm looking for new ones because after 2 years of use, the foam on the ear pieces is starting to separate from the structure. They are nice because they fit nicely in the side of my computer bag for storage, but folding and unfolding the unit and untangling the wire and control unit after every use is a pain in the rear. I'm looking for a larger set that completely covers the ear in hopes of improved performance for air travel, whether they be bluetooth or wired, I really don't care. Although wired is a necessity if you're on a plane and trying to connect to the on board entertainment you might need a couple of adapters as well (which I carry in the same little case) Overall they are ok, but not great. I think if the drivers were bigger it would probably be perfect.

Pretty fast, but pretty big.

Team X Series 64GB Flash Drive TX12164GR01
Team X Series 64GB Flash Drive TX12164GR01

Pros: Great capacity, even though you loose a little bit with the bigger drives. Nice rubber boot keeps it from hitting hard when you toss it to the table. There is a con to this however, see below.

Cons: My only gripe with this drive is it's physical size, you aren't going to stick two of these in the back of your computer below an Ethernet port, or even in when another port isn't above it. Similarly you're also not going to get two of these side by side on a laptop either. It's only worth taking off one egg for that because really, if it's a stand alone in a lone port, it's fantastic and all is well. Just don't try to use two at once.

Overall Review: If you need a good flash drive with space, and you have physical space, don't think twice it's worth it for the money... you'd be hard pressed to beat it.

Good seller, placed the order and got it pretty quick.

Not quite as fast as the Big "A" prime (ooooo I upset the censors... ), but, everything got here in one piece and as of now is working as it would be expected to be.
