Most Critical Review

Lasted for a year

Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CTFDDAC256MAG-1G1
Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CTFDDAC256MAG-1G1

Pros: Purchased the drive in summer of 2010. Drive was lightning fast for about a year

Cons: during the last few months areas of the drive have become corrupt and the drive pauses about once every 5 to 10 seconds causing the system to pause.

Overall Review: Crucial support is better than others... however they said it would be 8-12 weeks for them to fix this and or give me a new one. They said they would ship me a new drive however they would charge me full price "if" the problem wasn't covered under warranty. I wasn't going to play those games, i purchased a different drive from another company

DO NOT BUY

Pros: Cable worked great out of the box

Cons: Within 1 week the video picture started degrading a ton. after fiddling with the connection and the tv to figure out what was going on the cable stopped sending a signal all together.

Overall Review: how does a cable that is just sitting there degrade so quickly?

Horrible Picture

Acer S232HLAbid Black 23" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM (12,000,000:1) 1,000:1
Acer S232HLAbid Black 23" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM (12,000,000:1) 1,000:1

Pros: Picked it up at another store for under $150. If you can get it for that price point and dont care what the picture looks like its not that bad of a deal

Cons: the colors are so... dull. I played with the settings on the monitor and my card for over an hour and couldnt make things look even acceptable. everything had a strong grey tint to it

Overall Review: i will be returning this and buying a different monitor from newegg.
