Works

AZiO BTD-V201 Micro Bluetooth Adapter
AZiO BTD-V201 Micro Bluetooth Adapter

Pros: It works with my Nintendo Wiimotes which is pretty much the only reason why I bought it. VERY small profile, it's not bigger then a thumbnail and if you attach it on the back you will never know it's there.

Cons: None

Overall Review: N/A

Most Critical Review

massive drive nothing else

Hitachi GST 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Hitachi GST 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: 1TB HDD. I can't use it rght now (see cons for details, though forewarning it's due to my own error. not rhe prodcuts)

Cons: I can't use it right now since my current motherboard has no SATA connectors. Of course that doesn't mean I can't use a external enclosure as a work around plus its my fault for not really checking then again I knew this was likely. The biggest problem is that this drive is sent in a newegg box wrapped in bubblewrap and inside a anti-static bag with the little silaca bag inside for mostiure control. Nothing else though no screws for mouting, no sata or power cords. All your getting is the Hard disk drive itself. So just be sure you got the connections and proper power cable.

decent monitor

ASUS VE247H 24" (Actual size 23.6") Full HD 1920 x 1080 VGA DVI-D HDMI Built-in Speakers LED Backlit LCD Monitor

Pros: full 1080p, multiple presets, 2ms. no dead pixels I think.

Cons: the blue "on light" from the power button only worked once. Maybe I somehow deactivated it? When the montior is alseep with the PC the orange sleep mode light is on though.

Cool, no screws

SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: slim design, really fast boot up, quiet. Can't say anything about read/write speeds. Less then 142 dollars with tax/shipping when I ordered.

Cons: No mounting screws, no sata cable. Only about 217GB of space once you format and install windows 8.1 on it.

Overall Review: Got it in less then 24 hours from time of order. Others may have issues with ontrac but the drive came to me in less then 24 hours from about 360 miles or so away. no mounting screws = sitting on the bottom of my PC tower till I get screws somewhere or order them. I've looked online and it sounds like it takes M2 X 3MM machine screws.

Great for Microsoft Paint and PC's!

uDraw Gametablet w/uDraw Studio: Instant Artist Playstation3 Game

Pros: I bought this so I could use it on my PC (windows) via a free 3rd party software. You simply take out the USB dongle that's hidden by the battery cover and slap it in a open USB port. I've tested it in paint and Draw My Thing (pictionary) and it's a lot better then using a mouse. 9.99 + sales tax with free shipping wasn't bad at all.

Cons: It takes 3 double AA's not 2 or 1. It's not as good as say a 100-600 dollar art/drawing tablet.

Overall Review: Google PS3 Udraw PC and the creators youtube video should be one of the first hits on youtube. Theres a link for the 3rd part software there and a video showing how smooth it is. I haven't tried the game yet and likely won't unless there's achievements on it.

Big case, for my needs.

Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option

Pros: Rather big case with plenty of room for my 7870. The 3 case fans work perfectly, the front glows a bluish color. Don't really care for LED's but it at least brings a little color to the dull black casing. I do like how the front has holes for great airflow into the case, asides from the front fan.

Cons: None. Case arrived in perfect condition as far as I could tell. The PSU was a little hard to get seated right and I needed a helping hand to hold it still/inplace while screwing it in.
