Comments: i bought 2 of these for office computers i was building that had motherboards with no video on it. i didnt need 3D appz or games to run on, so i just got a cheap card. XP picked it up and never needed to install drivers. good cheap card for such a good price.

Great for students

Pros: Very small and compact. Also very sturdy. Speed is great. 8Gbs = plenty of space. And of course cheap (esp for OCZ).

Cons: Keychain loop is pretty small and looks like it might break if you carry it on a keychain all the time with you. Not a problem for me because I don't keep it on a keychain, I keep it in my backpack. Also the little clear plastic cap might be lost easily, but thats ur fault. I only use it every once in a while for school and transferring stuff to my roomates laptop.

Overall Review: Perfect for college students that don't constantly need to carry it on a keychain and/or use it every day. Great for backing up data for school. Also very small so works well with laptops with USB ports close together. I think there is a 4Gb available too.

Great camera for the price

FUJIFILM FinePix F480 Black 8.2 MP 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
FUJIFILM FinePix F480 Black 8.2 MP 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Clear pictures, large bright LCD, rechargeable battery that lasts forever, SD (very inexpensive cards right now).

Cons: No face recognition (even though I don't know of any cameras in this price range that do). Also the flash isn't that bright if your doing dark night shots from a distance. This however doesn't bother me because it saves battery life. I have only charged the battery twice since I have had it and I use it every other night when I go out.

Overall Review: I'm a college kid with not too much cash to spare, so I was pretty picky when choosing this. I had a gift card to a local place so I went there and had it down to this, HP Photosmart R742, Sony Cybershot S700, Nikon Coolpix L14, Canon Powershot A560, and the Samsung Digimax S600. This seemed to have the nicest LCD and the shots were the best contrast of any of the others. All of them had near the same quality pictures indoors, but this seemed to take the clearest and best looking pictures of all of them. I then bought a Transcend 2gb SD card and now I am good to go. I would recommend this camera to anyone on a budget, and to also look at the Nikon Coolpix L14 and HP Photosmart R742.

Pros: Very low price, solid/sturdy, and works well for what I use it for.

Cons: It's not as fast as the Kingmax Platinum SD card I replaced it with, but its only slightly noticeable.

Overall Review: I bought this card because I needed one for my Fujifilm Finepix F480. Although its a little slower than the card I replaced it with, I'm still glad I bought this. It's a hell of a low price and still works fast. For the price, nothing beats it.

Best phone money can buy!

Sony W900i Unlocked Mobile Phone Black

Pros: great camera! the autofocus makes this better quality than my digital camera at home. recording and watching videos on here is absolutly amazing. the expandable memory slot is a MS Duo Pro, so i bought a 2gb stick and encoded my full movies to 30fps at the phones resolution and now i have about 5 or 6 full movies i watch when i get bored (fear and loathing, 40yr old virgin, old school, etc) along with hundreds of songs. video playback looks pretty much the same as a dvd if you convert everything correctly. music sounds great when you start tweaking with the equalizer and turn up the bass (sound is by far greater than any other cell i know of, or any mp3 player for that matter). the walkman music player makes scrolling through large ammounts of music much easier. screen is large and very good quality. swivel design is cool also, i kinda had to get used to it because all me previous phones were candy bar style, but i like this better. good reception on Cingular in CA.

Cons: nothing really. theres only one part of town it starts to cut out a little on. i know where it is so every time i drive towards it i tell the other person to hold on for a few seconds, so its no big deal to me anymore. its a little on the large side, but it doesn't matter to me. its got a camera better than a lot of digital cameras, 470mbs of internal memory, supports up to 2Gbs extra memory (which i bought also) and a better mp3 player than i have ever used... so if you think about it, its smaller than most digital cameras, WAY smaller than anything that can play and record videos @ 30fps, and if you buy it with a 2gb Pro Duo, you can have as much music as a lot of mp3 players nowadays can support. oh and of course, its a phone... so with all those features i think this is actually pretty small for all it does!

Overall Review: was hesitant to buy it at first because a lot of GSM services here in the USA use the 850 band, and this phone only supports 900/1800/1900. after doing a little research, i found out that cingular (in my city anyway) uses mainly 1900. so i went for it. and once i did i never regret one bit of it. i have even travelled on the west coast and i have yet to find a city with a population higher than 20 that i cant get a good signal in. i use this phone for sooooo much besides just calling lol. its worth the $, to me anyway.

Quiet!

GIGABYTE GH-ED821-LC 94 mm Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Super quiet. My 120mm fans are all on a Vantec fan controller and set to the lowest voltage and they are much louder than this HSF. Droped my temps pretty well too.

Cons: Wow, I dont think I've ever wrote a review without even just 1 bad remark... So I think this will be the first!

Overall Review: Cheap, quiet, cools well... What more can you ask for in a HSF thats such a great price?
