Good Quality
Pros: Very nice Slow Cooker. The programmable option is nice and automatically switches to Warm once the program is finished.
Cons: One thing my wife and I have noticed is the Low setting doesn't seem to be as hot as our previous slow cooker. It's not really a Con necessarily, but it is a difference to make note of. Cooking on Low does take longer with this compared to our previous Hamilton Beach slow cooker.
Overall Review: Overall we are satisfied with our purchase.
Poor Reliability
Pros: The cards were fast when they worked.
Cons: The longevity of these cards is very poor. I purchased two of them and less than two years later they have both given up the ghost. The first one died within about 1 year. The second one died just recently, about 1.5 years after I purchased them. The first card, was used in my phone, which I ended up having to factory reset to get it working properly again after the card died in it. The second card died in my laptop, which I had to uninstall the SD adapter and reinstall it to get it working properly. I don't know what these cards do when they die, but that's two separate devices that they have caused issues with upon their demise.
Overall Review: It's frustrating when technology like this breaks so quickly. It's even more frustrating when it messes up other things, like your phone. I would recommend purchasing a card known for reliability and longevity. Speed is nice, but not at the expense of reliability.
Good card for HTPC
Pros: Good card, cheap with the $20 rebate. Seems to be running well in my HTPC. I have not noticed any stuttering in HD video. Overall a much better option compared to the integrated graphics in my HTPC.
Cons: Not too sure about the heatsink and fan. In my slimline HTPC case it gets pretty warm. I'm thinking about adding an additional ventilation fan to try and avoid heat related issues.
Overall Review: For $10 after rebate, you can't really go wrong.
Good monitor
Pros: I really like the small bezel. The monitor has great adjustments as far has hight, tilt and rotation. The menu features are also nice. No dead pixels. Haven't noticed any ghosting.
Cons: As others have stated, it did not come with a DVI cable even though it was pictured. It also does not seem to work with the MagicTune software. It also have some backlight bleed, though most of time I don't really notice it.
Overall Review: I would buy this monitor again, I just wish that it would have included the DVI cable as pictured.
