Wow

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: It's thermal paste, it does its job!

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you've never seen a thermal paste container before, you'll be shocked like I was, this tube is about the size of a AAA battery, but for how little of it you'll need, it's got a ton of gunk for you to use. I received it in a nice big brown envelope, and there was a tiny pen shaped lump in the bottom, aside from the struggle to open the envelope, it was all there. No instructions are included, so make sure you already know what you're doing before trying to just smear a whole tube onto your cpu.

A free cable

Nippon Labs Beige 15 ft. USB Cable A/Male to B/Male Model 15ft USB-15-AB 15 Feet

Pros: It's a cable, most usb printers use something like this, my dsl modem uses it too, and even my 4 port usb expander uses this.

Cons: Some people have no use for this cable.

Overall Review: I guess newegg has too many of them, but I can always stuff them into a drawer somewhere.

Cheap and Cheerful

COBY Black 4GB Micro MP3 Player With LCD MP301

Pros: Compact, Good Quality materials, sound quality is as good as the format you're using.

Cons: The battery case feels like it might break within 5 years. But for the price, and 4gB of storage, who cares.

Overall Review: I bought this to use linked to my car, works perfect. Small enough that I can take it when I get out of the car. Not out of fear for losing a cheap mp3 player, but fear for losing music.

Pros: Excellent Case Design, simple to work on, great for people with OCD who want the case to have very few wires showing.

Cons: It is a bit heavy and I'm no muscle man. My house has a bit of dust so the front filters get dusty fast.

Overall Review: I'm not sure why there are negative reviews on this case. Been running this computer since 2008 and it runs flawless. Case is silent with fans at low, temps are well below what I used to have. And it's built with quality I compare to a Mercedes-Benz. Possibly the later batches were of poor quality? The only defect I've found is that the magnet fell of the door, since it's not sealed like the other, it's just glued on. Big deal. Lock works, wires hide easily and if you research and have small hands this case is a dream to work with.

I am impressed

MASSCOOL UHB-360US Aluminum 3.5" SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: It's a very good looking product, and although it is plastic, it's pretty nice quality. My 3.5 inch drive AKA common size fits nicely.

Cons: I am not sure why it needs more power, but whatever.

Overall Review: I bought it since I had a spare 320GB harddrive lying around in it's original packaging. I plan to use it as an external drive. I haven't had it long enough to say about the heat. I plan to drill a few holes underneath to let it breathe a bit.

DVD-RAM?

Pros: It's got sata, it's cheap, and it can burn/read DVD's. It's small compared to my old busted IDE drives.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The labeling on the front says weird stuff, and my pc calls it a DVD-RAM drive.
