Most Favorable Review
Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: It's a standard 3TB HD

Cons: I put this in my UEBO and it's had a few issues that error checks don't seem to solve completely. Not really sure it's the HD though.

Overall Review: If you want a HD, this one totally works, just doesn't seem perfect, maybe I'm just spoiled with SSD in all my other computers

Most Critical Review

It's ok

UEBO M400-WL-US 1080p Media Player w/ Web Browser Build-in Wi-Fi USB 3.0 HDMI 1.3 NAS, FTP, DLNA support 3.5" Internal HDD slot w/ Remote
UEBO M400-WL-US 1080p Media Player w/ Web Browser Build-in Wi-Fi USB 3.0 HDMI 1.3 NAS, FTP, DLNA support 3.5" Internal HDD slot w/ Remote

Pros: It works. It will play pretty much any file you throw at it that a VLC can play. The setup didn't take too long.

Cons: Doesn't play 1080p perfectly, I can tell by the pixels and colors that on some of the largest high quality 1080p the device struggles. 720p and lower though spot on perfect. The wireless card on it was messed up until I installed the newest firmware. The device on the wired network won't go faster than 12mb/s which isn't gigabit like the device claimed, that's the biggest let down, usb3.0 works but then I can't use the device, I might try a wireless n signal and maybe? who knows, it's really annoying it should just gigabit and I'm upset with it. I've tried turning the wireless network off at least a dozen times and I'm done fighting the device. It works for what it works for, and it was cheap, but I didn't expect so many hard drive errors. Worth it? Maybe. I'm not sure what else you could pick though, hopefully some new players enter the market.

Overall Review: As much as I want a wireless mouse and keyboard for this thing I'm not sure how much more of it I can take. It's slow, it errors alot, it restarts itself when there's a file issue. For what it's worth it's not the worst thing in the world but for what it was advertised as I think I got played. I don't regret getting it over the other devices that were 4-5 times as expensive, it's the price of this device that mattered and I got what I paid for, it would have been nice to at least get what was advertised though.

Amazing Cost Savings Worth Every Penny

HDMI 1 Audio Dies

ViewSonic PRO8200 1920x1080 FHD 2000 ANSI Lumens, 16:9 Widescreen Aspect Ratio, Dual HDMI / Dual VGA, Two 10-watt Speakers, 1.5x Optical Zoom, PIP/POP Option, Home Theater DLP Projector

Pros: Everything else works.

Cons: The HDMI audio has blown out, extensive testing proves it's just that port. There's an hdmi 2 but this is really annoying.

Overall Review: I liked having 2 HDMI ports, it's not nice to only have one that fully works.

Perfect

DA-LITE 42067 425-Deluxe Project-O-Stand (17" x 25" Shelf)
DA-LITE 42067 425-Deluxe Project-O-Stand (17" x 25" Shelf)

Pros: Holds everything I want and more (there's space for cups, which at parties people use to put cups on, not my projector!). Easy to use, easy to put away, easy easy easy.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I could have got the smaller one but it's of little consequence, I'm happy with the product even if it was a bit spendy

Horrible

OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK

Pros: Worked for the first few days

Cons: One of the chips went back, I spent days trying to communicate to them that I only wanted to fix one chip and it took several days just for them to tell me all my efforts were useless. I can't afford another set of ram ATM so I'll have to wait to get more, I know what company I'm not going to use.

Overall Review: Once I get enough funds, as I assumed the ram I would buy would work, I'll buy 6GB more ram and send this 6GB back to them and wait for the ram to come back and then I'll have 12GB after the 12+ week wait. It took them about that long to send me a small rebate check, I can't imagine how hard it must be for them to do something much more challenging. Nothing about my interactions with this company has been helpful but at least I have 4GB of ram and my computer works.
