Most Critical Review

Died after 1.5 years

Rosewill RX-DUS100 2.5" & 3.5" SATA to USB2.0 & eSATA Hard Drive Docking Station
Rosewill RX-DUS100 2.5" & 3.5" SATA to USB2.0 & eSATA Hard Drive Docking Station

Pros: eSata connector

Cons: Died after 1.5 years

Overall Review: I was using this as an external hard drive for my Verizon Fios DVR. It was great to be able to save hundreds of hours of high definition programming, bu the downside was the hard drive was on all the time 24/7/365 and I guess the unit just burned out. But the hard drive itself was a hitachi 1 tb drive and it is still going strong. I would think the drive would die before the docking station. After all, the docing station has minimal moving parts and the drive is turning and turning all the time.

One problem after another

HP Photosmart C7280 CC567A Up to 34 ppm 4800 x 1200 dpi Wireless Inkjet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Great photos and paper printing when it works.

Cons: After 4 months, I can't get any relief from paper jams and "out of paper" messages every time I try to print (when there is plenty of paper in the tray).

Overall Review: I wanted to get a printer that was network ready, wireless, and could print duplex. I've always wanted one but never felt I could afford it. So I decided to break down and pay for what I wanted and now I am very sorry I selected this printer. Wireless was a joke because it kept getting disconnected. So I connected via wire. So much for that. Then it kept getting discinnected when I wired it and I finally found the bug fix at HP - but that was way more time than I want to spend solving printer problems when I could be working. Then the duplexer software issue that is very well documented on the web - blah, blah. What a pain. I coul dhave lived with all those problems but now I get a paper jam nearly every time I print. When I am not getting paper jams I am getting out of paper messages when the tray is full. I am crying the HP blues. And the last thing I want to do now is call HP support which will put me on the phone with someone that does not speak english clearly enough.

11.3V on 12V rails

COOLMAX CP-500T 500 W EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Looks well made with solid connections.

Cons: My computer is acting strangely with intermitent issues. The bios are reporting the +12V rails are coming in at 11.3 which is outside the 5% tolerance. Returning this item. I want 12V or better, not 11.3.

Overall Review: I am running AMD Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane 3800+ with 1 gig RAM and saphire X1650 ATI Chip graphics card.
