Nice Fan
Pros: It looks cool and it does a great job
Cons: Mounting bracket makes it so that if you have to remove it you may have to remove your MOBO just to get it back in place. When transporting Zalman suggests removing it from the MOBO
Overall Review: This thing works great. The red LED is kinda dim and it doesnt start immediatly when you turn on the computer. It lags for about 2 -3 seconds before kicking on. If your dealing with an expensive build this can be kinda heart wrenching if you didnt expect it. I didnt bother putting the limmiting resister on. I could care less how quiet it is I just want it running full blast to keep my stuff as cool as possible.
Corsair should stick to RAM
Pros: Looks good and has a rubber coating to protect it
Cons: Works for about a month then has issues and dies
Overall Review: Ive sent this in for warranty once and the second one did the exact same thing. Its a nice idea but I would not buy this product again.
Nice Drive But Pricey
Pros: Its faster than a 7200RPM drive
Cons: For its price its just not fast enough.
Overall Review: Windows experience only rated this drive at a 4.2 while everything else in my computer was in the 7 range. I was very disappointed in this drive for this reason. If your looking for speed just buy an SSD. I did and it was the best thing I ever did. Now this drive is my data drive that I have all my other stuff on along side the SSD that runs my OS.
Buy This Now!
Pros: This thing runs great! I am not sure where these others get their 2.5 second load but when I hit the power button I am ready to use windows 7 in about 25 seconds, from off to on and ready. This is a huge upgrade from my last 10K RPM HD.
Cons: Needed a firmware update and it doesn't fit in a standard 3.5 inch slot without a bracket. I later bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817984011#top Its now discontinued but if you can find one like it this thing worked great.
Overall Review: Thought it was lame that I had to update the firmware on a drive fresh out of the box. I installed windows 7 before installing the firmware update and had lots of errors. So after the firmware update I re installed windows and I have been running strong ever since. I have read all these negative reviews on this drive and I have to wonder if these people have ever witnessed a piece of electronics before. You will have some bad ones fresh off the line. It happens. If it is going to die it will either do it now or in the first couple of months. Otherwise you will have a nice healthy drive that will work for a few years most likely. Sure I get it, it sucks to get a bad drive, but you should have known the risk before buying.
Nice set
Pros: Great sound and comes with both a USB cord to charge and use as a wired headset or a bluetooth to use wirelessly.
Cons: Range is about 12 feet if you dont pass any walls or doors. Drivers for it could be better. Had a few issues getting it to work as it does not automatically override your speakers.
Overall Review: I bought this for $65 on sale here at newegg and thus far Im glad I did. It works good with skype and I only get a little stattic if I get up and go into the next room, provided I dont go too far. I do wish the track buttons on the side would work with Winamp but I guess thats what I get for not using media player.
Great for android phones!
Pros: Works great! Plugs right into my wife's android motorola razr HD and displays it on the TV. Great if you want to display your pictures or watch netflix on your TV.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Bought this because we wanted to watch netflix in our hotel room. Little late now but next time we will be ready.
