In a word - Awesome

Pros: OK, so I've only had this thing for a few days but already I can tell it's a great printer. The price was incredible, something like $56.00, $100.00 instant discount. The fact that it's wireless also makes this printer excellent. I have an HP Color Laser-Jet printer which is also networked. My wife has a Mac and has been using the color Laser-Jet for all her printing needs which eats up a lot of expensive toner. Now she can use the Canon which requires much less expensive ink. The difference between the two types if ink/toner is around $15.00 for all five cartridges & in the $200.00 range for the laser-Jet toner cartridges. It's a nice size for a printer as far as most combo printers go. The scanning bed sits above the printer, giving it a nice flat top. The printer itself is ~ 6" tall, including the scanning bed, which makes it very low profile, especially when compared to the laser printers (have a block & white HP Laser-Jet as well). You can also scan a document over the network if you want to, though this seems like a useless feature to me (more on that below). The printer drivers were simple to install (more on that below as well).
Cons: So far I haven't found any cons, but keep in mind I've only had it hooked up & operational for a few days.
Overall Review: As I mentioned above, this printer has a feature that allows the user to scan a document from any computer on your network. However, one would have to go to the printer to place the document you want to scan on the printer bed. I suppose it makes it easier to get the file which was scanned to the user's machine. As I mentioned above, my wife has both a Mac laptop as well as an iPad. Regarding the driver installation, I would recommend going to the Canon website and downloading the specific driver file (which you have to do if you're using a Mac as the driver disc supplied does not support the Mac). If you install from the disc included with the printer, you get a slew of additional programs. I suppose that may be a bonus for users who want to do a lot of photography. For me, however, I only need it for nursing school documents. You can easily print a photo from any program as well, so the additional programs are useless to me, just taking up room on my C disc (which is a Samsung 250 GB SSD, so space on this disc is somewhat limited). I could have easily put the drivers/programs on any other of my 11 sATA drives had the installer given me the choice. This isn't enough to lose an egg however. I highly recommend this printer if your finances are somewhat limited and you don't need a high end professional printer for photos. This Canon is ~ mid range as compared to other Ink-Jet printers.
1000W Mistake

Pros: Nice modular design keeps clutter down. Fairly quiet.
Cons: Malfunctioned. Took me a while and three mother boards (2 Asus Sabertooth and 1 Gigabyte). Loads of frustration on my part, not to mention the financial strain on the wallet :-( All told, this PSU cost me well over $500.00.
Overall Review: Not sure if I will ever use a Rosewill PSU. I only wish I had realized that it was the PSU causing the problems earlier. Will try to return it but not very hopeful (should have gotten the 1 year extended warranty). I went with the 1000W PSU because I have a large number of HDD's in RAID configuration as well as a top line GPU. Don't actually need 1000W however. Just thankful it didn't take any of my HDD's with it :-)
Disapointed & Left Broke $$

Pros: This is actually a very decent mid-range card, while it works, that is. Asus is working with me to refund the money for the card or replacing it altogether. Either way I'm happy with the customer service I've received thus far, though I would like quicker responses on their part.
Cons: A faulty solder joint slowly failed within the card, causing enough damage to my system that I had to replace three, yes three, motherboards before I was able to isolate the source of the causative factor (the graphics card). In all, I replaced the motherboard four times (one arrived DOA so I don't count that as a victim of a faulty GPU). I replaced the PSU, sound card, RAM, SSD, etc.
Overall Review: It's an Asus product which in general is synonymous with quality in my opinion. I'm a loyal Asus customer, though this go round almost made me discontinue supporting the company. Having spent all the money on replacement parts was totally my fault however, as I never checked the GPU (I didn't have a spare GPU to test). And unfortunately you never know if the GPU, or any other component is defective until you swap it out with a different one and see if the problem occurs again. The frustrating fact was that the malfunction in the graphics card blew out the motherboard. I never expected that the GPU was the source of the problem as it seemed to perform flawlessly while the PC was up and running. However, slowly but surely the problem began to happen more and more frequently up until the last motherboard which the GPU blew the first time I rebooted a fresh Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit OS. Oh well, live and learn. My advice, when experiencing a problem such as this, always suspect your components which draw the highest voltage (CPU, GPU, PSU, etc...) Still a loyal Asus customer.
Perfect

Pros: Everything about this pair of headphones qualify as "pro's". The bass delivery is deep and rich, while the treble is equally delivered. The mid range comes through crystal clear. These headphones allow for high volume with maximum bass delivery without distortion of any kind. Extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time. These headphones fold in on themselves making for very convenient storage size. Both earcups have an individual wire for audio delivery. No more split sound between speakers. Very powerful sound delivery, better than any headphone set I've ever used.
Cons: Not a single one!!
Overall Review: Traditionally I've always been an ear bud headphone user due to the background noise reduction and convenient size. I also liked the fact that you didn't have to turn the volume too much. However, I wanted a high quality circum-aural set for watching movies on the PC/laptop. However, due to the excellent sound delivery of these headphones, I use them for virtually every case that require headphones. While this pair of headphones aren't high end (such as you would find in a recording studio), they are definitely good enough for the audiophile!
Works for me.

Pros: This card does exactly what it is meant to do - deliver sound. I've been using it on and off in several different builds and never had a problem, not a single one.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind at this time.
Overall Review: This card has gotten a lot of negative reviews, mostly involving driver issues. The updates work just fine, the card installed with not a single issue. I wonder if some of negative reviews were due to a lack of knowledge or perhaps expectations that were set too high. Come on people, it's a mid range card and for the money, does a great job. I've always been a Creative sound card user. Most of my builds are based on an Asus motherboard. Creative sound cards have always worked flawlessly. I purchased an Asus sound card, thinking it would perform better due to the Asus motherboard (I'm a die hard Asus fan). Honestly, I could not detect a difference, if there was one, between the two manufacturers, other than cost. People, if you want high-end performance out of a mid-range sound card, you're going to be disappointed. Go buy a high-end card. See if you're complaining then.
My Bad

Pros: Awesome construction, you can just feel the quality when you open the packaging. Nice color scheme. May sATA ports (both internal (8) and external), which is perfect for my rig. Awesome BIOS.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: As the title implies, I wrote a review around 1 month ago ripping this MB, as well as Asus, a new one. In the review I mentioned how I had 2 on this model MB die on me in under 6 months. Said I would never buy another Asus product again, which was sad for me because I ALWAYS go with Asus products whenever possible. Well, I'm very happy to say that I'm still a loyal Asus customer. After the second Sabertooth MB died on me I went with an equivalent Gigabyte MB (with far less features other than the BIOS and the 8 internal sATA ports). That MB died on day 30 from purchase, just long enough to qualify for an RMA (yay). This got me thinking, however, that I'm either jinxed or there is another problem in my rig causing the huge MB failure rate (as well as 2 HDD's, though I can't know for sure why they dies as they were both slightly older drives). It finally dawned on me that the problem lay within the Rosewill 1000W PSU. Looked back at my purchase history and sure enough, once I put that PSU into my rig the problems with the MB failures began. I should've stayed with Antech but the Rosewill was just the right price with the rebate. Just goes to show that cost isn't everything, as a poorly manufactured PSU, although inexpensive to purchase, can cost you far more than you paid for it, as in my case, it ended up casting me over $500.00 to date. I will obviously go back to Antech as it is tried and trusted. Again, this was the first PSU I've ever purchased from a different manufacturer that Antech, and I have learned my lesson! Too bad it took me so long.
