Mapower KC31C1 Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB 2.0 & 1394 External Enclosure
Mapower KC31C1 Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB 2.0 & 1394 External Enclosure

Pros: -XP immediately detects the drive -Easy to take apart and switch out drives if necessary -LED is bright but not too bright -Very stylish

Cons: None

Overall Review: After my Maxtor One Touch II crapped out after a power surge in my home(got the double fast blinking LEDs), I purchased one of these from Newegg and received it in a timely fashion. It was really easy to install: took the drive out of the Maxtor enclosure, installed it in the new enclosure, and voila! XP recognizes my hard drive. Great product!

DO NOT BUY

Pros: It was cheap.

Cons: When I received it, it was DOA. Sent it to Westinghouse, but had to pay for shipping one way... it was expensive. The display was too dark. I had to have the brightness setting jacked all the time. The HDMI jack stopped working after a month. It stopped turning on after 3 years.

Overall Review: "You get what you pay for." Lesson learned.

If your willing to spend the $$$, don't think twice

PLEXTOR CD Burner 52X CD-R 32X CD-RW 52X CD-ROM Beige IDE Model PX-PREMIUM/SW

Comments: This is the finest cd-rw drive you can put in your system. The thing is built like a brick. Read/Write errors are practically non-existant and it is VERY quiet. You can control just about everything on the drive with the included software, from how fast it will spin on reads to how fast the tray slides in and out, which is fantastic. The PleXWriter Premium on the front of you PC will give your machine a subtle touch of class. There is much power behind the plain and rather humble bezel.

stay away

Comments: This printer is terrible. Drivers need to be constantly re-installed to print, scans only half way and then gives an error, fails to copy, and Lexmark's tech support totally xxxxxx Don't buy this printer or any Lexmark product. I know I won't again.

Okay

Comments: Pretty good heatsink/fan, but nothing too special. The big problem i had was gettin the darn thing on. Its a workout, i probably almost broke my mobo in half. And dont even think about taken the thing off. I got water cooling and takin this thing off was such a pain, i just cut the clip and threw it out.
