Pros: -usb 3.0 and 5 1/4" bay -extra usb port - slots don't scratch card contacts.

Cons: deducted one egg because the screw holes could be better. the brass nut in the plastic should have a flange on the opposite side so the force of the screw doesn't pull it out. also, it shouldn't be a round nut because it may spin. this only happened to one screw hole (pulled out and spins).

Overall Review: you may have an issue that if you have a power outage, when the power is restored and you start up your PC, the PRO-57U is gone. then you'll open up the case and replug the USB cables while the PC is on so it gets detected again. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME DOING THAT! all you have to do is shut down from windows and start your PC again. the PRO-57U will be there again. same applies if you shut off the PSU of the PC. the PRO-57U will come back on the second boot. also, no physical interference by the 20 pin adapter on my P8H77-V MOBO. check where your USB 3.0 header is on the mobo and make sure the adapter has room.

Pros: bought it when it was on sale which was a great value. some outlets are spaced apart which is great for wall warts. this is my second of this unit.

Cons: half the time i check with power chute, it says remaining battery charge is 101% and battery is currently charging. according to the APC forums, this is a bug in the firmware. i was told units produced next month won't have the bug. also, the firmware is not user upgradable so there is nothing you can really do about it. from what i heard, this firmware bug does not effect the performance of the unit, it is just cosmetic. -2 for that.

Overall Review: when checking the output voltage of the unit while on battery power, you may get a reading around 80 volts if you don't use a true RMS volt meter because the output waveform is step approximated to sine wave and cheap multimeters don't read that waveform properly. the power supply on your PC may produce harmonics (buzzing sound) when powered on battery power because of the waveform.

Pros: it's samsung, comes with adapter.

Cons: watch out for those adapters! i purchased 2 cards and thought on of them was bad because i was measuring transfer speed and i got less than 8 MB/s read and write! it turned out the adapter was slowing down my transfer speeds. out of two, one adapter was causing this, the other was fine. -1 for that questionable adapter

Overall Review: either format the card with your device or use the SD formatter tool (SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC) provided by the SD association. SD cards have a protected area and formatting with operating systems or other generic formatting utilities is not recommended.

Pros: i bought 4 these on special for $12.99 each. i like the right angle plug and form of the unit with 4 plugs spaced apart.

Cons: there are some reasons for concern. first, newegg and belkin state: 15A/125V/1875W but the product has 15A/120V/1800W stamped on the bottom of the unit and on the box. second, the joule suppression rating listed on newegg and belkin is 3390J but the box says 3550J. there is no joule suppression value listed on the actual product. third, and most important, newegg and belkin state that the clamping voltage is 330V but the box states 500V and the product states L-N 400V, L-G 500V, N-G 500V. here's a really strange requirement printed on the bottom of the unit: "DO NOT INSTALL THIS DEVICE IF THERE IS NOT AT LEAST 10 METERS (30 FEET) OR MORE OF WIRE BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE PANEL"

Overall Review: i'm not too pleased that the specs are inconstant and that a joule rating isn't stamped on the unit. it makes me worry. also i purchased the unit because newegg and belkin made me believe that the clamping voltage was 330V. had i known the product states 500V clamping voltage, i would have never bought these. i have no idea what that 30ft requirement of wire is for. how are most buyers supposed to know how many feet of wire they have from the panel to the outlet? how many people have most of their outlets in their home less that 30 feet of wire from the panel? does it void the warranty if you use the product on less that 30 feet of wire from the panel? why wasn't this stated on newegg or belkin's product page? after this experience, i won't be buying belkin anymore for surge suppressors.

Pros: FAST! ability to run windows 7 and surf the net with the CPU at 100% load without any sluggishness. all while using integrated graphics. WOW! COOL! my old P4 system functioned as a room heater while idle. with the 3770k, i don't notice any heat from the exhaust of my tower. this processor made me happy.

Cons: i'm going to need a space heater for my room this winter.

Overall Review: CORE TEMPS: at idle- lowest core around 26C, hottest core around 36C. 100% stress test - lowest core around 58C, hottest core around 68C. notes: room temperate at 26C running at 3.7GHz. CNPS8900 extreme @ 1170rpm (CPU cooler). arctic silver 5 well ventilated tower.

Pros: added better graphics to an old system with AGP slot.

Cons: the fan is really loud. i wish there was a way to slow it down with software.

Overall Review: card should have had passive cooling.
