Most Favorable Review

works well

TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Desktop Omni-directional Antenna
TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Desktop Omni-directional Antenna

Pros: use two of these with an asus di-pole wireless adapter, strong enough to punch through 5 walls, all the em interference of the utility room and kitchen in a nearly 100 year old house and about a 30 ft total distance to the wireless router all while maintaining perfect signal strength

Cons: strong magnets on the bottom make placement/storage/transport a little more calculated

DOA

Pros: speedfan could pick up the temperature diode

Cons: DOA, would not read in BiOS or windows, tried multiple sata ports including eSata, left it installed while I tried to think of something else to try and it appeared to develop some sort of circuit fault that wouldn't let my pc boot up

Overall Review: Will be contacting toshiba since they have been congenial about warranty replacements on laptops of theirs i've owned but i'm not likely to buy a toshiba hdd in the future

LifeProof Nuud Black Waterproof Case for Samsung Galaxy S III 1701-01
LifeProof Nuud Black Waterproof Case for Samsung Galaxy S III 1701-01

Pros: seems sturdy, slim, button pass-throughs work well, mic and handset speaker are clear in spite of water proofing

Cons: loud-speaker sounds *terrible* in this case (-1 egg), all but one of the micro USB cords I've tried *barely* fit (-1 egg), cover/seal for the charging port and headphone jack seem very flimsy, difficult to assemble/disassemble which becomes a problem if you need/want to swap M-SDs or batteries, screen protector got a little dust on it when i tried to install it and became worthless, (cumulative -1 egg)

Overall Review: bought because the seller for the otter box i was replacing was out of stock and it was reasonably cheap for a full frame case, all in all the only feature this offers over otter box defender is the water proofing and I've not needed that in the past, will most likely replace with another otter box soon but works for now

huge like xbox

IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: excellently huge, plenty of room for all your components, back panel wire routing leaves your cooling setup unobstructed, decent front panel layout, decent stock dust trap mesh, room for lots of large fans but...

Cons: ...space restrictions in the front/bottom-most mounts make it impossible to mount a 140mm fan in both slots, also location of the front and bottom grill/meshes can make relocating your setup a manual acrobatics act, and only three external 5.25 slots can be restrictive on the numbers of drives/front panels accessories, plan on upgrading stock fans or just buy third party fans with

Overall Review: this replaced my jurassic xaser 5 case and is massively easier to set up and use, it's also lighter in spite of being larger

Bgears b-Blaster 140mm 2 ball bearing High Speed 1800 RPM High Airflow 103 CFM 3pin 3wire 12VDC fan.

Pros: they move an absurd amount of air (i can feel the breeze from my top exhaust fans in my GRone from four feet away), they come with 4-3 pin adapters handy for installing multiple unmonitored fans, 9 of these vs the 5 stock fans in my GRone brought my cpu temps down 5c across the board and my gpu temps 1-4c down under load

Cons: see below

Overall Review: personally i find the whooshing white noise provided by these fans to be soothing but some people may see it as a con, it should be noted that i keep a box fan on during the spring and summer months

It's just like an xbox 360 controller!!!

Pros: it's just like an xbox 360 controller... because it is one, works great plug and play with my windows 7 pc

Cons: haven't gotten it working with CS:GO yet but i haven't tried very hard yet either

Overall Review: got it because i can't stand playing racing games with kbm, have found myself using it for some rpgs and shooters as well
