A super Watch But...

Citizen Calibre 8700 Eco Drive Mens Watch BL8097-52E
Citizen Calibre 8700 Eco Drive Mens Watch BL8097-52E

Pros: Stylish, good for most occasions, bezel and band is made of titanium so is light and durable. Watch band is very nice looking. Love the settings and the eco-drive.

Cons: I owned this watch for 5 years and beat the living snot out of it. The glass of the watch actually chipped away on one spot over time and began to let in water. I also noticed after several years the watch glass was scratched and scarred quite badly.

Overall Review: If they offered this model with sapphire glass, I'd get it without a second thought. The watch is easily worth the money, hands down. The scratches suck, but for a guy who runs through cheap watches like toilet paper, this thing pays for itself after a few years of hard, constant use.

Pros: Lots of great features, comes with darn near everything, including nifty drivers for heat sensors and the like.

Cons: My setup: e6600 2.44 GHZ intel core 2 duo This MOBO Nvidea 8800 GTS Seagate Barracuda 500 gb with perpendicular recording TrendNet TEW-623PI Wireless Draft N PCI card. Windows XP Service packs one and two. The system was toast in a bad way. It had Bluescreens left and right due to hardware configuration errors, as well as a multitude of Machine Check Exception codes (Which is another windows word for your hardeware is messed up) Beware.

Overall Review: GREAT included applications. Now you don't have to crack open the case to do overclocking, which the E6600 is perfect for!

Great Job, Intel

Pros: This processer is awesome. By the way, the fan is very simple to install, and you do NOT need to remove the MOBO to install it, despite its large size. I was wondering that myself when I got the product, but it was all good.

Cons: All good, that is, until I actually tried to *install* the fan. It was rather bulky, and you really have to pay attention to the faux screws. MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ALL IN THE "PULLED" POSITION BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL! I was very fustrated with that.

Overall Review: DON'T buy another processer, get this one. It's so overclockable that you will be able to save and still have wads of power for years.

Yes!

Pros: This card worked GREAT! Just make sure that you install it correctly the first time. If you didn't, then try uninstalling the device driver from the Device Manager Menu in Windows. You can find it from the My Computer. The card was wonderful in Windows XP, INCREDIBLY FAST and the included client software was *very* easy to use. Much better than linksys's software by far.

Cons: Windows Vista. It worked at first, but after installation of a USB Webcam, completely stopped working, and I have been trying for several hours now to fix that problem to no effect. Be SURE that if you ARE using this card with vista that you download the drivers for vista from the manufacturer.

Overall Review: There's the link to the updated drivers for those who are interested.
