Most Favorable Review
BYTECC BT-200 USB2.0 to IDE Cable With Power Adapter
BYTECC BT-200 USB2.0 to IDE Cable With Power Adapter

Pros: It does exactly what it's supposed to do. And it does it with speed!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Much more versatile than an external HD enclosure. Cheaper too. Just don't have it in a very exposed area, I have mine behind some things so that the HD won't get bumped. A great temporary solution or a permanent tool for someone that deals with testing a lot of IDE drives.

BYTECC BT-2000 USB (Male) to PS2 (Female) Adapter
BYTECC BT-2000 USB (Male) to PS2 (Female) Adapter

Pros: This allows the average user to use their old usb keyboard and mouse with their newer motherboard / laptop. Normal typing for surfing the web / working on papers is just fine.

Cons: However, multiple keypresses are treated differently. It is not suitable at all if you want to play any sort of game that may involve them. You cannot play any sort of FPS at all with this converter. The mouse is fine, however, the keyboard is pretty much unusable.

Stock heatsink insufficient

AMD A8-5600K - A-Series APU Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W AMD Radeon HD 7560D Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD560KWOHJBOX
AMD A8-5600K - A-Series APU Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W AMD Radeon HD 7560D Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD560KWOHJBOX

Pros: Great speed for the price. Integrated graphics on this APU are a lot of bang for the buck - selected it for a art workstation for my partner and it works great! Adobe creative suite, Maya, etc run smoothly with no hiccups. Paired with lots of RAM this is great for running lots of stuff at once.

Cons: The stock heatsink is simply insufficient. Doing minor tasks it would bump up over 90C! I thought maybe I had goobered up the thermal paste, but when I took it off there were no voids or separations or anything. It's little fan would be screaming and the temps would settle in at about 85-90C while under medium loads. I replaced it with a larger heatsink scavenged from an older AMD machine and now it stays cool much better. Surprising that AMD would pair it with such a small heatsink like that.

Overall Review: Be sure to get an aftermarket heatsink and you'll be in business. Good chip once the temperature issues were resolved.

Rosewill RNX-N300RT, Wireless N300 Wi-Fi Router, IEEE 802.11b/11g/11n, Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates, 2x 5dBi Fixed Antennas, DD-WRT Open Source Support
Rosewill RNX-N300RT, Wireless N300 Wi-Fi Router, IEEE 802.11b/11g/11n, Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates, 2x 5dBi Fixed Antennas, DD-WRT Open Source Support

Pros: - Cheap - Downloads and transfers files around the network at a great clip - Stable thus far with DD-WRT - DD-WRT install super easy

Cons: - Not a familiar blue Linksys unit... but hardly a con.

Overall Review: Got it to replace my faithful old (but slowly failing) WRT54GL, surprised by the stability and capability of this cheap router. Took up DD-WRT quickly and easily, handles four PC's, a Raspberry Pi, and a wii all quite well so far. Would buy again if I were setting up another network

Pros: Small form factor, easy to set up with good instructions. Decently flexible firmware.

Cons: None so far

Kensington K64338US Comfort Type USB Keyboard (PC/Mac)
Kensington K64338US Comfort Type USB Keyboard (PC/Mac)

Pros: I got this keyboard for the funky trapezoid keys, (I had an older keyboard that had this design and required a new one) and it has the same comfort as the previous one did.

Cons: My friends hate it because of the funky keys, but hey, it keeps them from messing with my computer!

Overall Review: I really wish that they could have made a wireless one of these, but this one works just fine for my desk setup.

Slow shipping

Ordered some printer ink on the sixth, didn't ship until the ninth, *three days later*. Nothing like any of my previous top notch experiences with Newegg. Don't know what Newegg thinks they're doing associating themselves with these second rate companies, but it's a mistake. Don't expect Newegg quality from anyone but Newegg.
