Pros: Brand - I've always trusted Asus and they're yet to let me down. Price - On sale, this was the cheapest H81 motherboard I could find. Shipping - Thanks NewEgg! UEFI - This is my first UEFI board. As such, I didn't know what to expect, but it sure is nice to have a graphical screen up front when I launch the BIOS, with easy to use (and visualize) gauges and settings.

Cons: - At first, XMP profiling wouldn't work with my Crucial Ballistix XT Sport RAM. It is advertised as DDR3 1600 CAS 9. However, the motherboard booted up at DDR3 1333 and wouldn't boot after being set to 1600. However, a firmware update fixed the issue and I'm running at DDR3 1600, so I can't knock an egg. - No PCI. I have a sound card and WiFi card. both PCI, that I would have liked to use. I knew when I bought it I would be sacrificing those things so I can't knock an egg, but it still would have been nice to have at least one PCI slot for legacy devices. - H81. I would have liked to have more SATA slots and more USB 3.0 ports, but that's what you get with H81. No egg knocked for this of course.

Overall Review: I struggled between this board and a H87 board. I went with this, trusting that I'll never need more than 4 SATA ports. By the time I need more storage, I'll need replacement hard drives anyway. There's no reason to go with H87 in my eyes, unless you want to do RAID or something.

Pros: They do what they advertise. Provide power to my USB devices, in a very low profile design. I have not done any voltage or current testing at all. However, any phone I've ever plugged in to it works just fine, which implies to me that the voltage and amperage are at least somewhat well-regulated. I've had bad experience with some chargers, where the touchscreen won't work or goes wonky, but not with this one. Has a nice clean face that blends in well on the dashboard. The best part though is the price. At this price I didn't have very high expectations, but I am not disappointed one bit.

Cons: This device will take all day to charge a modern smartphone, and if I'm using GPS on my phone it will do nothing but maintain charge. Not a problem given the price, so it's not worth taking an egg away.

Overall Review: They are low-powered chargers (as advertised), not a 2A for your Android or iOS device. I drive a car where the cigarette lighter is underneath a cover with the ash tray. Any other charger I've tried sticks up too far for the cover to close (just has about 1/4" of clearance). This one tucks right in there perfectly. However I also have a larger 2A fast charger on hand for when I need to juice up my phone. For the (sale) price, I can't see why not to buy one (or multiple).

Pros: Still looks good enough for the price (see cons). I get a lot of complements and the fact that it's black is a pretty good ice breaker.

Cons: Finally got a couple scratches on the ring after more than 2 years, including a 9 month deployment to Afghanistan where I wore it the whole time. The brushed finish is still excellent except for the small scratches on one side. I just keep that side facing inward and no one will ever see it.

Overall Review: I say the ring has served its time given the price, and any longer is a bonus. (I got it for $15 back in Feb 2011)

Pros: I got this ring as a replacement for my old ring for Valentine's Day. The old one was stainless stell, which scratched up pretty bad over time. This ring is lighter than my steel ring, but not as light as a titanium or palladium ring would be. The black finish is actually a very dark gray, but it looks fantastic on my hand.

Cons: None so far. I'm curious to see if the brushed finish will last. My old ring didn't.

Overall Review: I talked to one jeweler who said ceramic is supposed to be the new big thing, so hopefully this thing will last a while.

Pros: I used this PSU to replace a 4-year-old 650W PSU that recently died. I bought this in anticipation of building my next rig in the next year or so, so hopefully it will be enough to power the next generation of processors and video cards. We'll see! Plugged it all in and it worked like a charm in my old rig.

Cons: None so far. Maybe it could use some better cable management, but it's not priced to be a high end PSU so I can't complain about this.
