Lots of options

Yamaha RX-V375 5.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver
Yamaha RX-V375 5.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver

Pros: very loud for my 20'x24' theater room, easy to setup, lots of music options (prologic, surround sound, stereo only, etc) full hookups for speaker wire surround system. HDMI passthrough is very high quality.

Cons: i am not well versed with all the receivers to explain the pros/cons position. it doesn't have bluetooth? doesn't have rca hookups for 5.1 (but i have cheap speakers) doesn't have a way to rename the channels doesn't have the time displayed

Overall Review: i was looking for a receiver that would play pandora off my phone into the whole house: Mission Accomplished! I bought a Bluetooth gateway and stereo jack to rca then ran it into audio 1. Sound is awesome with two tower speakers and a center channel. I have a Playstation 3 hooked up also, BUT i like playing with my wireless headsets. It is to save my wife from hearing constant run-fire, bombs, and narration updates. However, when she is off shopping and i am playing with the house to myself.... THAT'S RIGHT- you guessed it!!!! i can feel the bombs going off in the subwoofer. as for the received it's self, it has not over heated, or given me issues. Setup was easy.... I just turned it on... scrolled to the input i wanted, and then started playing with the many sound variants. i can make the audio output sound like a concert, or hall, or just stereo, or 5.1 or 2.1, or set the type of music (jazz, rock, games, music, etc) overall i am impressed. a few things i wish it did... display time or custom channel text. it just sits on "AUDIO1" when it is playing music, and HDMI1 when i playing PS3

comes with tools and the battery is charged about 45%

LB1 High Performance Replacement Battery 7200mAh for Apple A1321 A1286 [Mid 2009 to Mid 2010] Macbook Pro 15" Unibody MB985 MC118

Pros: easy install and no registration needed. my laptop now lasts longer. Ran the app coconut battery to test mAh and life cycles.

Cons: no cons. i was really impressed with the tools that were included. That was worth $10 at least and saving me from having to drive to a local store and try and find the set.

Overall Review: i would highly recommend this item to a friend, and will buy from them again in the future when my other macBooks start showing signs of age.

very effective and cost effective.

Pantum P2502W 1200 x 1200 DPI Wireless / USB Monochrome Laser Printer
Pantum P2502W 1200 x 1200 DPI Wireless / USB Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: The wifi settings were a little irritating, BUT a few things you should know if you are trying to set this up on a 5ghz N Network. I will read A, B, G, N networks only works on 2.4ghz frequency Directly printing to the printer is the best option for mobile devices. The user who gave the detailed Wireless Setup instructions was VERY helpfully. Thank you. Find the IP Address of your printer by going to 192.168.1.1 and logging into your router admin settings. then view your active devices, and look for an IP like 192.168.1.125 Ok, so google search "direct IP print on Chrome" and look for instructions on adding your IP Printer to your Chrome Browser https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1069693?hl=en-GB the catch is, only users signed into that gmail user can print from anywhere! Even if you are away from your home it will print to this printer. While using the iPad, use "air print" and SEARCH printer while you are within your home network range. The printer speed is great, and the size is perfect. It is small and kind of perfect. I just wanted to offer some insights of how i am using the printer.

Cons: the wireless setup was challenging, but only because i was trying to search for a 5GHz network. If you are running a 5Ghz network, run a dual secondary network for just the printer.

Overall Review: The price per page is around 2.1 cents with the $30 toner and total cost of printer with included 700 page toner

Useful more than imagined

Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System with bonus 12-count K-Cup Variety Pack and Water Filter 20029
Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System with bonus 12-count K-Cup Variety Pack and Water Filter 20029

Pros: Water storage - plenty Overall size Speed to brew Consistency of coffee Way cheaper that Starbucks and tastes better Saves times Kids love pushing the buttons

Cons: Quiet mode is not too quiet. K-cups take up a lot of space Used k-cups are not environmentally sound

Overall Review: Overall I bought this for my wife as a gift and thought she would use it once or twice and thought it might save a little time from making a whole pot of coffee. After owning this for a while, I've noticed that my wife enjoys it everyday! She loves the convenience AND consistent taste. Now she loves her keurig! Each morning I start up the keurig and I wait about 90 seconds to warm the water. (I power it off after the morning to conserve energy. It uses a lot of watts) then i make my wife a cup... And bring it to her. The whole process takes under 3 minutes. Side note... We moved. And the keurig was the last item to be moved and it got a ride on the passenger front seat to the new house and was the first item plugged into the new kitchen.

CPU average 86 deg

CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm

Pros: Quiet, and cool! everything you want in a liquid cool system.

Cons: instructions for install SUCKED! Spent about an hour searching on the web for little instructions.

Overall Review: a few pointers. intel and amd use different brackets. Both are included. the gap screws are loose at first, dont worry. the fans have arrows of which direction they blow on the side of the plastic. Look at all four sides. The pump have four connectors for power. One is Sata, one is a 3 pin, one is a usb to usb-motherboard pin, and the last is the Y-connector that powers both of the fans mounted to the radiator. They then connect to the top of the heat sink if the words corsair are right-side-up. lastly, this should not be installed in a micro-ATX case. This unit is huge, and takes up space BUT the CPU was running a program test and bearly cracked over 90 degrees. Most of the time it is sitting at 77 degrees!!! normal OEM heat-sinks run at 110. At least for intel, maybe AMD runs hotter?
