Completely Happy With This Drive

WD Elements 8TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDBWLG0080HBK-NESN Black
WD Elements 8TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDBWLG0080HBK-NESN Black

Pros: Recognized by my OS(s). High quality, consistent with specs. Have not had any issues.

Cons: None at this time.

Overall Review: I've mainly used Western Digital for my drives for quite some time now. They are far more reliable than some other brands. I also like the fact that (the internals) come in various speed options. I've been using WD internal and external drives for almost 20 years now and they've never let me down - have had this one since Sept of 2019 and it is no exception. Would completely recommend them to anyone.

Don't Bother

SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600PRO 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 100562L-GN
SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600PRO 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 100562L-GN

Pros: Cheap (not just inexpensive, but downright cheap)

Cons: Bad drivers, poor technical support, doesn't like lower end AGP slots.

Overall Review: This isn't worth it. I've spent a lot of time on this card. Rebuilt my machine, because drivers got confused. Tech support supplied virus ridden drivers, and were really low quality in their support. I'm rebuilding this box as a Linux box now...we'll see what happens (maybe I'll scale back to at PCI card).

Great Value

Team C171 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TC17164GB01
Team C171 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TC17164GB01

Pros: Small, easy to transport. Great value for the money.

Cons: 58.5 GB usable - but that's really more of the exFAT file system, still great size for the cost/value

Overall Review: Really good value, especially in the 3 pack. I'd buy these again.

Nice Sound Card

Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (70SB104000000) 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (70SB104000000) 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: 7.1 - great fidelity. Comes with a nice suite of utilities/apps. Line in/Mic functionality (nice for recording instruments).

Cons: Had some challenges with Headphone usage and this card. Seemed to conflict as dual use sometimes.

Overall Review: I really like this card. I had it in a PC of mine for 7 years until I got some issues with it. Bought the replacement here, and put it into the box (as I rebuilt it and passed it along to a friend). Great sound, drivers were challenging at times (was on Vista), but seems better on Win 7.

Good Deal

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card 100292DDR3L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card 100292DDR3L

Pros: Compact card. Installed easy on Win 7. Very reasonably priced. Performs well, good definition. I'd buy it again if I needed a decent, reasonably priced, card again.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Bought this as a backup card, but passed along to a friend (in a machine) when I built a new machine for myself. Very functional card, not a high end gamers card but perfect fine for normal PC usage.
