Does As One Would Expect It Too

TOSHIBA 500GB Canvio 3.0 Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTC605XK3A1 Black
TOSHIBA 500GB Canvio 3.0 Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTC605XK3A1 Black

Pros: 500GB, USB 3.0, No need for power supply, Compact, Lightweight but yet has a solid build feel to it, runs quiet & cool, unique white led, as most I've seen/owned are R/G/B

Cons: Unique cable end, not sure if its due to being USB 3.0, (my 1st, so not familiar w/the look of the cabling) but seems its proprietary to this Ext HDD, minor inconvenience if you're like me & tend to swap out Ext HDD's regularly, super glossy finish might be a problem to those who don't like to see fingerprints, lol

Overall Review: As a gift, great, no complaints from me, but if I were to go & buy a new Ext HDD, the plug might keep me from going w/this model again...

Most Critical Review

Round Two - Crosses Fingers

SONY Playstation 3D Display
SONY Playstation 3D Display

Pros: Good looking screen, decent sound, dark blacks, nice colors, 3D worked good

Cons: Died in less than a month!

Overall Review: The 1st one worked great for the first two weeks, then it started exhibiting the 'Black-out' screen issues, that I've been reading about. Then a game froze on the PS3, had to restart PS3, that's when the screen refused to come back on, the blue light, followed by a green LED, that switched to 2 flashes of a red LED. DEAD in 3 weeks! Hope this one lasts longer.

Side Note

TOSHIBA 500GB Canvio 3.0 Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTC605XK3A1 Black

Pros: None this post, read my previous post for input...

Cons: Formatted for NTFS, not FAT32 like so many other Ext HDDs... Loaded it w/over 200+GB of data to use w/my PS3... FAIL UGH, my fault for not paying closer attn @ first.

Oh Sony... A lil disappointed!

SONY Playstation 3D Display
SONY Playstation 3D Display

Pros: Like advertised, great screen right up to its death... Good Blacks, Great 3D, decent sound for what it has, but 2nd one died the same death. Blue light, green light, 2 red flashes, nothing...

Cons: Hate to even say this, but I'm getting the impression that Newegg is very aware of this problem, as they told me if the replacement unit had ANY problems that I had to take it up w/Sony, as expected, but they should take note & maybe consider warning customers, guessing that it 'our' responsibility to warn each other.

Overall Review: First one lasted exactly 3 weeks, showed signs of problems, then just died. Second one worked great, I was a lil hesitant @ first as the shipping box was beat to heck, the Sony box was scuffed, ding/dented (so much so that it dented the upper left speaker grill). But seeing how I wasn't getting this one replaced (at least not by NewEgg) I used it, flawlessly for 1 day shy of 6 weeks! Now the frustrating battle on phone/email/etc w/Sony, I'm out $400, the time it took to set up (in a wheelchair, Pain the UNO what). Unless ya have a bunch of money to 'burn' & absolutely must have this screen, best of luck to ya, hope yours lasts longer than the 2 I've tried, won't give up on Sony just yet, but this is leaving a nasty 'taste' in my mouth...

Nice Ext Enclosure 4$

Rosewill RX81U-ES-25A 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX81U-ES-25A 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Sleek looking, EZ to assemble, SATA~USB, Price, comes w/a mini screw driver, screws & a nice lil carrying case

Cons: Super mirror like finish attracts fingerprints, if this could bother you, then avoid this case at ALL costs, lol

Overall Review: I'd originally bought (by accident, early morning orders, lol) an IDE version of this case, the carrying cases were completely different, the SATA version has a magnetic 'clasp'! I tested its strength on the inside of the flap, had low attraction to a fine wire, but still did, so if you're leery of data corruption... FYI Otherwise, assemble, plug & play, might have to initialize the HDD.

Great [Screen] 4 Money

Westinghouse 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor 8 ms 1920 x 1200 D-Sub, HDMI-HDCP, Composite, S-Video, YPbPr L2410NM
Westinghouse 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor 8 ms 1920 x 1200 D-Sub, HDMI-HDCP, Composite, S-Video, YPbPr L2410NM

Pros: Multiple Inputs, Nice Picture, Multi Input, Good Appearance, Lots of Ports, Crisp & Bright, Did I mention all the Inputs?!? Minimal Space, so this screens multi input is fantastic. Even better when Westinghouse sends that rebate check!

Cons: No Speakers, but really, who doesn't own at least a decent set of speakers these days. If you don't then stop reading and start shopping, Newegg has a Great selection of them! Slightly awkward to do screen adjustments, button placement isn't the best.

Overall Review: Computer, PS3, PS2, PSone, PSP, BaseStation w/DVD, VHS, DSL connected to it!
