Most Favorable Review

Look forward to honeycomb

Sony 46" 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD Internet HDTV NSX-46GT1
Sony 46" 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD Internet HDTV NSX-46GT1

Pros: - Very capable browser, will make your android phone look like a dinosaur - Interface is easily controlled with the dpad. - Nice and low black levels, cant even tell it's on when the screen is black other than the power indicator.

Cons: - Lack of analog inputs. The details page says it has 1 component input, and 1 composite AV input, but they are actually shared. It's one or the other.

Overall Review: - I didn't notice any display latency with the device. - Google should be releasing the honeycomb update for this in the next few weeks, which should significantly increase it's functionality. - Found the default settings for the touchpad to be unresponsive, after increasing the sensitivity in the settings it became more useful. - Only noticed performance issues when using the browser to stream HD video in fullscreen, but this didn't affect the video, only the interface's responsiveness. - Had a hard time getting it to work with my AV receiver, as it has no visible IR sensor, positioning the IR blaster to work with it was rather fiddley as a result, eventually discovered that the sensor was inside the volume control knob (odd)

Most Critical Review

Just plain bad

SYBA SY-IDE-SATAHD IDE to SATA Device Adapter
SYBA SY-IDE-SATAHD IDE to SATA Device Adapter

Pros: It's design fits drives relatively well...

Cons: I bought 6 of these, 3 of the devices were not even able to have the ide controller detect the sata drive on the other side, of the 3 adapters that worked well enough to have the ide controllers detect the drives correctly, all received many data errors, and one simply stopped working all together after having power for a couple of minutes. One of the adapters generated 6 CRC errors a minute over several hours on read attempts on a working drive.

Overall Review: Master/Slave switch might have been a good idea if the device worked at all in the correct setting.

Toshiba 40" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV 40L5200U
Toshiba 40" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV 40L5200U

Pros: - Price - Good picture quality after being adjusted - Light weight

Cons: - Very High video Latency for a non-smart TV ~120ms - This TV does not have a 120hz refresh rate as Newegg Classifies it. - The "Clear Frame" technology that supposedly makes this equivalent to a 120hz display is better off disabled - Very poorly defined defaults - The area around the HDMI inputs is poorly designed, it has a lip above it that will prevent HDMI Cables with all but the smallest connector grips from being seated securely

Overall Review: Fast shipping as always, no dead pixels

Pros: 2 cards in SLI, and still have room for a TV tuner card, and a Raid card, what more would you want?

Cons: none

Overall Review: Not all the front panel inputs on the case I have work with this board.

Nice

AZZA Solano 1000 Black Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front MicroATX/ATX/Full ATX Computer Case
AZZA Solano 1000 Black Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front MicroATX/ATX/Full ATX Computer Case

Pros: Its hard to tell from the pictures but the internal drive mountings are actually removable, this makes installing hard drives easier, or if you chose you could remove one of them and have 3 additional 5 1/4 slots or both for 6 extra. Nice airflow, fans are quiet.

Cons: Though it looks nice the black interior metal does have a drawback, its very hard to see inside the case because none of the surfaces reflect light.

Overall Review: The HDD activity LED connector cable is glued together with the other case connectors and needs to be seperated (easily done) if you have a raid controller with a seperate HDD activity led connector.
