Most Favorable Review

Well Worth the Modest Price

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Green LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators
Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Green LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators

Pros: Moves a lot of air. Very quiet. Nice bright LEDs.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Maybe it could stand to be a hair quieter, but I have no complaints about this fan, especially for under $10. I'd gladly buy another.

Most Critical Review

Limited and Lousy

DIGITNOW Video Capture Converter, Capture Analog Video to Digital for Your Mac or Windows 10 PC, VHS to DVD
DIGITNOW Video Capture Converter, Capture Analog Video to Digital for Your Mac or Windows 10 PC, VHS to DVD

Pros: Cheap

Cons: This device only works with the software that it comes with. I could not get Sony Video Capture to recognize the device. The software it comes with is ArcSoft ShowBiz. It's terrible. It only allows capture in the mpeg-2 format - no avi or mp4 options. Also, I don't know how this would happen, but, the video I would capture would have frames out of order, so they would have a distracting skipping effect. The software is also terrible because it has no uninstall option. You have to manually delete the files, and it creates about 40 registry entries to manually delete.

Overall Review: I would definitely look elsewhere for video capture.

Good Quality, Bad Features

Logitech G512 Lightsync Rgb Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G512 Lightsync Rgb Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Solid construction. Quality mechanical keys.

Cons: Really unimpressive backlighting options. Inefficient USB port setup.

Overall Review: This keyboard has the ability to display seven different colors, just like a lot of other backlit keyboards, but for some incredibly weird reason, the only solid color you can keep it on is cyan. All of the other color modes are the full 7-color and move somehow, either scrolling or breathing. I don't like any of those modes, and especially not on this keyboard. They scroll too fast to the point that it's just annoying. It's a really bad idea that the only solid color option in cyan. Also, the keyboard has 2 USB cords - one to power the keyboard, and another one to power the USB port on the keyboard. I don't know why that's needed. I have two other mechanical USB keyboards that have 2 USB ports on them and they're powered by just the single cable for the keyboard itself. It does seem like a good quality keyboard - solid aluminum top, good quality keys, so if you're not picky about backlighting, it might be alright, but this isn't for me.

Great Sound, Not Great Comfort

Audio Technica ATH-EQ300M PL Purple | Ear-Fit Headphones (Japan Import)
Audio Technica ATH-EQ300M PL Purple | Ear-Fit Headphones (Japan Import)

Pros: Great sound quality for inexpensive headphones. Good Volume too.

Cons: The plastic clip part that goes over your ear is too hard of a plastic. They get uncomfortable after a while.

Overall Review: I went with these because I have a really good pair of Audio Technica's , so I figured these would be good too. And they are, except for the ear clips.

Pretty Good enclosure

USB 3.0 SATA 2.5 inch USB 2.0 External HDD Hard Disk Drive HD Enclosure / Case Box Aluminum SATA Hard Drive Enclosure
USB 3.0 SATA 2.5 inch USB 2.0 External HDD Hard Disk Drive HD Enclosure / Case Box Aluminum SATA Hard Drive Enclosure

Pros: Inexpensive. Feels sturdy. USB powered.

Cons: There's nothing inside the case that supports the drive. It rattles inside the case. Although I think the case is sturdy enough to handle a drop, I wonder about the drive getting knocked around inside.

Overall Review: All it needs is internal support

Only Bought It Because I Had To

Microsoft Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, DVD - OEM
Microsoft Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, DVD - OEM

Pros: The actual operating system fundamentals are decent. Reasonably fast, reasonable easy on system resources.

Cons: This is by far the most robust personal-data-sending version of Windows they've come out with. If you just install it with all the default settings on, you're basically turning your computer into a large scale keylogger for Microsoft to look through. It is possible to disable most of them, but not everything.

Overall Review: Don't rush to upgrade. Hang onto 7 if you want. Or better yet, switch to Linux. ... It /could/ be a very good operating system if they just weren't so slimy about collecting your data.
