BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N600 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-HP-AG300H
BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N600 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-HP-AG300H

Pros: Good range through a 3000sq foot house built 100 years ago. Better than a major competitors router which rates the highest on newegg.

Cons: Dual band wireless N connection would not connect to anything. Tried buffalo's firmware and the DD-WRT, still wouldn't work. After 3 months wifi would disconnect several times a day. Didn't use the wifi much though, so didn't care.

Overall Review: Now I'm moving and I'll be connecting to a shared connection. Went to their website and downloaded the latest DD-WRT Professional firmware released 2012-07-10. Fixed the problem right up. Was about to call them for a replacement too.

Nippon Labs AD-HDMI-DVI-FM DVI Male to HDMI Female Adapter Converter

Pros: When it works, it works perfectly.

Cons: Often cuts out. Any HDMI cable plugged into it seems too loose and can wiggle out with slight vigrations just enough to lose the connection.

Killer bass for cheap (PC)

Klipsch KG-200 Pro Audio Wired Gaming Headset
Klipsch KG-200 Pro Audio Wired Gaming Headset

Pros: If you like bass, get these. They're good for gaming too. Works great on PS3 but I mainly use them on my PC. Thick strong cord. Long. So loud. When you want loud music but don't want to upset the neighbors or wake up a child. Can't beat it for the price.

Cons: - Bass can be overwhelming with certain music. But there's a handy equalizer button on the right earphone to cycle through presets. - On the PC at least, there's background static noise, which is inaudible with enough volume coming through. When your output gets silent you can hear it rather loudly though. - Not very comfortable after about an hour and a half. I'm a rather large man though, including my head. - The rubber cushion under the headband is soft, but after a while it tugs on my very short hair and stings.

Overall Review: I've bought dozens of different headsets over the years, from expensive to cheap (mostly cheap).
