Very Impressed

Pros: - Sizes match sizer from local jewelry store - Beautiful ring - Incredibly comfortable, especially for someone that has never worn jewelry before - Similar rings in local retail stores were marked at around $500 - Lightweight, but substantial - Had it 3 days after I ordered it vs 4 weeks I was quoted at local store - Comfort fit band - No sharp edges
Cons: - The photos don't show the true details of the ring, but they were a pleasant surprise (The edges are lower than the center)
Overall Review: I bought this as a "practice" ring upon the request of my future wife. She wanted me to get used to wearing a ring before the big day without wearing the ring she purchased for me at a local store to avoid bad luck. The ring is perfect for this purpose, but I wouldn't hesitate recommending this as a primary ring to anyone!
Fast but Unstable

Pros: Fast. Wireless N 300mb/s, 4 gigabit ethernet ports, 3 external replaceable antennas.
Cons: Astetically, it's pretty ugly... gloss white plastic, black front panel, bright blue LEDs. But those are opinions and minor details easily over looked. The big problem is the wireless connection is very unstable. I sometimes get a few days, sometimes only a few minutes between getting kicked off the wireless N connection. The wireless G connection is much more stable, but I cannot get it to connect at more than wireless B speeds. Large file transfers over the gigabit ethernet causes the router to get very warm which makes the wireless almost useless, even though the ethernet connections never drop.
Overall Review: This is the 3rd D-Link product I had this issue with. I kept them turning them into switches since the ethernet was rock solid. I assumed the other ones had issues from being cheap and the laptop I was using was older, so I attributed some of the problems to it. But 2 new laptops, an i-touch, wifi printer, PS3 and XBox 360 all have the same issues with all of the d-link products I have. I figured D-Link products were of good quality and I was doing something wrong. When I was in a retail store looking at routers the clerk recommended I skip D-Link stuff, because even though they were very popular and some of the cheapest they had to offer, they were the most often returned/replaced due to the same problems I was having. A switch to a $30 ASUS router and I've not had a single hickup in the last 3 weeks I've had it. So much for "You get what you pay for".
works well, most of the time

Pros: This adaptor allows my Dell 14z laptop to use an external monitor since the computer has no vga or dvi output. It works well on every monitor I've tried it on, up to 1900x1200 resolution.
Cons: Doesn't work well on all projectors, just some. The older projectors and the ones that University of Cincinnati have the are controlled through an control panel don't allow higher than 640x480 resolution. Newer ones allow native resolution just fine.
Overall Review: I would recomend this to anyone. Dell was stupid and thought HDMI and Displayport were good ways to attach monitors to this laptop. If they would have gone with mini-displayport, maybe, since Apple uses it I could have found an adaptor. It took me almost 6 months between getting the computer and finding this adaptor (just so happens eyefinity came out a couple weeks before this adaptor). Digital out is cool, but only if your accessories have digital inputs! Nice product though.

Pros: really fast to connect wifi, nice gigabit switch, looks cool when you turn the cool blue dancing lights on
Cons: It's really fast when it works. That being said, I can't keep a stable connection for anything other than basic web surfing. Youtube or flash intensive sites and file transfers will disconnect wifi very quickly and I can't reconnect any way other than rebooting the router. File trasfers via ethernet cause pauses, but not disconnects. This all started at day 28 of ownership. I went out of town for a week, and now I can't even get online via wifi any more, and I'm a couple days past where I can return it to Newegg.

Pros: When I purchased 3 of them this year they were the cheapest, biggest drives I could find. They run fairly cool (that may just be because of my well ventalated case) and were quiet.
Cons: 2 of the 3 of them have failed inside of 8 months. None of them are/were being used as a read/write intensive drive either. All 3 were purchased for storage, so they worked great for that, but 1 that failed never made any clicking sound of death, it just stops reading in the middle of a file. The other one was in an external enclosure being used for external backup. It was on and being used for about 12 hours at a time to backup a lot of hardwork. It worked fine for about 5 months of doing this weekly, but then one day the case suddenly got very warm, the drive started clicking, and the video on the drive wouldn't play back smoothly, which is a big deal since 99% of the data was DVD rips.
Overall Review: I was going to buy 2 more of these for backup/storage purposes, but if I can't trust them to work on a continuous basis, or at least several years, there is no reason for me to buy them, or for that matter Segate drives. I'll stick to WD drives I guess since I've never had an issue with them.
Great Board

Pros: Easy to undertand for a first time builder like me. Looks cool. Good BIOS options, but could be better. Auto overclock gets my E8400 up to 3.25GHz and still idles at 23C with the stock intel heatsink. Runs XP Pro 32 and 64 bit as well as Vista Ultimate without a sweat. Vista gives my CPU a 5.6 because of a slower 8600GTS video card, but everything else is 5.9. I've only ever gotten the BSOD when I let the auto overclock run up past 355MHz FSB. Stable to about 345 without messing with voltages.
Cons: No built in RAID. Counts USB as hard drive in BIOS, making boot order interesting at times. BIOS has limited settings for OCing, but it will do just fine for most. The board is a little too flimsy for my taste (pressing the heatsink into the board produced a large deflection), but it wouldn't stop me from purchasing it again.
Overall Review: The IT guys at work had me scared into using only ASUS or MSI boards because they showed me how wrong things will go when you use a "bad" brand. Researching ASUS boards lead me to stay away from them. Except for the super cheap BIOStar boards I couldn't find anything bad about them other than poor bios settings for OCing. On top of all that, the BIOStar boards in general were much cheaper than competetors boards and usually had better specs. I'd recommend this board and BIOStar to anyone!
