Excellent Picture
Pros: Very bright picture. Clear and crisp colors. Attached to my dual monitor stand with almost no effort.
Cons: Taking off the stand was slightly tricky. It snaps together and popping those apart always has me on edge. I don't want to break the part, but I know it opens; somehow. It opened and I was off and running
Overall Review: We'll have to see how it works over the next few months. So far, so good.
Flimsy Feel
Pros: Remote and air circulation. Even though the blade is only 16" it puts out great air flow; even on low.
Cons: The build is flimsy. The housing for the blade barely matched up. I thought I was going to have to leave the cover off and the blade exposed. The stand bar doesn't have a way to lock it to the base or the fan motor. I kind of just sits in the hole. The extension section fell the first 2 times I locked it in place. It is correct now though and didn't fall through the night. Maybe that was just a glitch.
Overall Review: I think the fan will work great for our needs, but I wouldn't attempt to move it from room to room. Unless I was prepared to put the pieces back together.
Blue Surface
Pros: I have never had ANY problems with RiData disks. I rarely make any coasters. I do burn one down from max though to assist preventing the fails.
Cons: They have a BLUE surface!! WHY!?!? I have to write in with dark markers and squint to read the writing. Awful decision to not keep them silver or white labeled. RiData's used to be plain. Why change it? Also, a fail goes to RiData for not for-warning buyers of the disk color. I would never have bought them if I had known they were BLUE.
Overall Review: I want to re-emphasize that I have never had any problems with RiData's disks in the realm of quality. They just need to bring back a disk color that is easier to write on.
Madden 2013
Pros: It's Madden! It's football! Go Colts!
Cons: EA stopped making Madden on the computer. I can't stand the XBox controller. The game itself is not fluid enough. There have been 100 Maddens made (seems like it). You would think the actual gameplay visuals would have gotten better. The game looks the same as it did in 2010. Yes I play in HD. This grass looks pretty, but who cares about the grass. When will they finally add a design your own logo for your made up team? The ones they give you to choose from have been around for 5 years now.
Overall Review: If you own any Madden 2010+ I wouldn't waste my money. Get College football instead. The only thing you really get with this Madden is the updated rosters. Should be able to get those in any Madden, but of course the old ones are forgotten. Gotta make us buy the new game.
Moved
Pros: PS Worked nicely for a while then ....
Cons: I moved to the UK flipped the switch to 230 and BOOM HISS it died. Yes the current was correct, the switch was correct and my other 2 PS converted greatly. This one though ... blew a fuse :(
Overall Review: Don't travel with this PS.
