Pros: A real Core i5 for cheap! For the money, this is a very fast CPU, and a very functional and serviceable machine. Normally in this price range you find clunky AMD CPUs than run like old Core2's, or a Core i3 if you are lucky. This processor is a solid performing foundation that makes future upgrades like memory and video card actually worth it. The CPU is honestly over-powered relative to the limited amount of RAM and integrated video this machine ships with. This machine works great for normal office and web tasks right out of the box, but offers the ability to grow in the future. USB 3.0 is supported, an SD card reader is built in and easily accessible. Full-speed AGP 16X is available for future use. Doesn't have Windows 8! Does have a 64-bit version of Windows 7! Internal wiring is tight and out-of-the-way. Still offers PS/2 ports for older mice and keyboards. Plenty of USB ports. Getting in and out of the case is easy, not always true on cheaper machines. Popping in more memory was a breeze. The integrated Intel 2000 video *will* support dual monitors out of the box, though one will be on VGA. I am running dual screens right now on the standard Intel 2000 integrated video: a 21.5" on VGA and a 24" on an HDMI-DVI cable. Both are running 1920x1080. Yes, the VGA connected screen looks a little "soft" on the analog connection, but I am okay with that for now. The functionally matters to me more than anything. I am planning a video card upgrade in the future (which will also require a power supply upgrade). For the price, I am very happy with the performance of this machine. I am astonished at what you can get for under $500 these days!

Cons: Many of the cons should be obvious, just know what you are getting ahead of time... The integrated video is inadequate for most(all?) modern gaming. Hi-def video and normal desktop tasks work fine. Video outs are 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. *There is no DVI port on this machine* Be aware of that when you buy your cables! A DVI screen will require an HDMI-DVI cable. 4 GB of memory really isn't enough to let the Core i5 shine; fortunately memory is cheap! Power supply is inadequate for anything beyond maybe an additional internal hard drive. Power-on light is brighter than needed (bright white). The hard drive activity light (also the same bright white) inexplicably faces at an angle down, towards floor, behind the top curved lip of the case... why???

Overall Review: When I got this machine I immediately dropped in a 4x4 16GB matched kit of Corsair XMS3 memory (Newegg part #N82E16820233190), maxing the machine out. For a mere $580 grand total I got a machine that is a multitasking monster. I found out 16 GB of RAM is actually really difficult to fill. With 16 GB, no matter how many programs or tabs I open, I cannot make this machine slow down! So nice! Be aware that gaming will likely require a ~$250 upgrade; ~$80 for a quality power supply and a ~$170 for a decent video card. This is my plan. From my research, the Core i5 should be able to deliver some decent frame rates on modern games once the video upgrade is done. For now though, a very solid machine. One of the best values on the market for a pre-built machine. I went through and tried to build an equivalent machine to this Gateway on pcpartpicker.com, and I found that I would usually come out $70-$100 more expensive than this computer sells for on Newegg... And I would still have the labor and time of putting it all together myself!

Pros: It was cheap. It turns on. It captures video. Works okay in Google Hangouts (video chat).

Cons: Even with the latest software from the Rosewill website, it is impossible to make this camera work in Skype in hi-res mode (1024*1280). For some reason, Rosewill chose to break out the camera settings into two completely different windows, and the Skype video settings can only access one of these windows (hue, contrast, brightness, etc.). The actual RESOLUTION settings are in another window entirely, which you cannot access from within Skype. 640*480 in Skype is the best you are going to get. Adjusting the resolution in the Video capture program that comes with the camera in the box (version 1.0, copyright from 1999?!?) does nothing, it won't save your settings for future use by the webcam driver. Uninstalling the old software, downloading and installing new from the Rosewill website gives a new version, a few new options in the software, but the resolution setting is still broken out into a separate settings window. Skype settings still does not have access to the resolution settings through the webcam driver. Adjusting the settings within the video capture software still does not save and does not permanently modify the driver behavior for future use. The new software is just as broken as the old. What is really sad is the older version of this camera ($20 from Rosewill, it was a round-shaped camera) worked fine in Skype. This camera is basically a step backward from the older model, a downgrade.

Overall Review: This webcam basically doesn't work with Skype. I regret this purchase. Do yourself a favor and spend more money, unless you really like Google hangouts and plan to never use Skype with your new webcam.

Pros: What is there to say about a hub when it works? It works, period. I own two of these, and have no issues with either that I own, on either computer. Cool features include: A removable and weighted base; it screws and unscrews by hand, and is actually made of metal. If the hub is too tall for a cubbey-hole you want to stick it in, you can remove the base and make it shorter. Top ports are easily accessible, which makes it easy to unplug your webcam when not in use. It is a powered hub, so it can deliver full-spec USB power to every device you hook up.

Cons: The rubber cover to protect the top ports from dust when they are not used is flimsily attached. I broke it off one of the hubs first time, because it was stuck and I was moving too fast. It would be better if the plastic/rubber cover was attached more strongly. Loosing the rubber cover does not affect the functionality of the hub at all, but I took an egg off, since I can't see giving a "perfect" rating to something that does have a design flaw, even if it isn't a critical one. Without the base, this hub a very lightweight, which might make it harder to keep it in the position you want it to stay.

Overall Review: I like these hubs because they deliver consistent and reliable performance, and because they are powered. Unpowered hubs are almost useless. Also this is a USB 2.0 hub, so newer USB 3.0 devices will not work at full speed on this. I am not taking an egg off for this lack, only for the flimsy rubber cover. If you want a USB 3.0 hub, go buy a 3.0 hub.

Pros: None, the specs for this are a lie.

Cons: The Specifications tab for this device clearly says, as of 5/11/2014, the following on Newegg: Power Input 5V DC This implies that it includes a 5V DC power adapter. IT DOES NOT. Moreover, if you ask for an RMA, the sellers will tell you that you don't "need" one, and advise you to kindly "check again," whatever that means. I have "checked again," the specs say 5V DC power input, and so yes, this hub was designed to work with a power supply! The hub has a hole for a DC power input on it, but no power adapter is included. Do not buy this hub if you need it for any high-speed or high-power draw devices, it is a waste of money and seller doesn't care. USB 2.0 standard spec is to deliver 5V and 500 mA at the port on your computer. If you hook multiple devices to one port on your computer, this voltage/amperage must be split between devices. If you want to use this supposedly USB 2.0 hub for multiple USB 2.0 devices at USB 2.0 speeds, you need an external power supply, especially if the devices themselves are USB-powered (think any modern 2.5 inch portable hard drive or SSD). You will only be running mice and keyboards off of this hub, don't even think about hooking multiple high-speed USB powered devices to this unit because it will not work.

Overall Review: Do not buy this hub. The price is too good to be true. Spring for a real USB 2.0 HUB with an actual power adapter included. Rosewill makes a good 7-port hub (with a power supply!) for a little bit more money.

Pros: These are very comfortable, provide very good sound quality, and appear to be of decent build quality. The cord is long and heavy-duty. The headstrap is strong, very wide, and more comfortable than it has any right to be. I have no real complaints about these phones. Happy with the purchase, these are some of the nicer headphones I have owned. I used to own a pair of Grado SR125s (these are like $150 cans) and these JVCs don't really make me miss my Grados. Sound quality is equal to lower-end Grados (say SR60 or so). The trouble with Grado is the build quality.... The earpieces can wear out and become detached from the head strap far too easily (this is what happened to my SR125s). This made me very sad for having dropped so much money on them, and really turned me off of dropping $100+ for headphones, if all they are going to do is fall apart. These JVCs look to be built better, and don't make me hate listening to music like cheap headphones do. I am happy with this purchase.

Cons: Not portable. These headphones are as big as headphones can get and still be designed for human beings. Not portable. My little MP3 player at max volume can barely drive what must be the huge magnets in these things. Not portable. The cord is massive and heavy duty. Also, I would love these headphones if they included a cord that was detachable!

Overall Review: When you first get these headphones, you will think that there was a lot packaging wasted in sending them to you. You will be wrong. That huge box is only there because it is needed. Yes, the headphones really are that big. These are not portable. I am using 2 medium-size binder clips just to keep the cord under control. I was hoping to get something at least semi-portable, but I failed in this... It is a testament to how awesome these phones are that I didn't send them back! They may not be what I exactly wanted, but they are just too nice to send back at the price I got them at. I will keep looking for headphones that fit the bill as an earbud replacement.

Pros: Matched kit so you know the chips will all work together. Great brand name. Corsair = quality. Heat spreaders look cool, though I doubt that 1333 memory really needs them... Makes my machine into multi-tasking beast that I cannot slow down! Great value at the price I paid.

Cons: None so far. Memory either works or it doesn't. I guess I could complain that it is "only" 1333 speed, but that is the fastest my machine will take anyway... Besides, when it comes to RAM, having "too much" that is a little slower is so much faster than having "not enough," regardless of the chip speed. The real goal is to get enough RAM in your box so that Windows doesn't hit that swap file! For me, 16 GB is enough RAM. Great purchase. I love having a machine that never slows down!
