Most Critical Review

1 good 1 bad

SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM SATA Model SH-222BB/BEBE
SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM SATA Model SH-222BB/BEBE

Pros: price was a good deal so i bought 2, but the 2nd unit i installed rolled craps. Have always thought samsung products were good

Cons: pretty bad when on the 2nd cd drive was just installed and first cd burned fine then a couple of days later i tried to burn it started whistling and put out a coaster. then i tried another cd ( thought the memorex media was the blame) but again coaster. Pulled the samsung put in a ASus burner and everything was fine. So RMA for this one I hope.

Overall Review: Price is good and ratings were good on newegg so i bought a couple. Luckily i just bought a couple of Asus burners on sale for future builds etc so i had small amount of down time

Just the one i needed low power lo temp

AMD Athlon 200GE 2-Core, 4-Thread, 3.2 GHz Base, Socket AM4 35W YD200GC6FBBOX Desktop Processor
AMD Athlon 200GE 2-Core, 4-Thread, 3.2 GHz Base, Socket AM4 35W YD200GC6FBBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Performance is excellent for my needs use as my home office computer. Quick on the internet, plays video well handles spreadsheets and lots of browser tabs open with no problem. Built this in a Antec isk110 case with ASrock b350 mitx board to use in the rv when traveling. Passmark shows is close to the A8-7600 apu which i have in another computer. I believe performs slightly better than that unit with less power and cooler temps.

Cons: No complaints

Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone needing a solid performing and upgrade-able pc

great idea but horrible

Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH – Six-Tuner CableCARD Ethernet Network Tuner for Win7 and Win8 PC 5504-DCT06EX-ETH
Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH – Six-Tuner CableCARD Ethernet Network Tuner for Win7 and Win8 PC 5504-DCT06EX-ETH

Pros: Possible to have tv and dvr capability throughout the house. Have fios tv and 50 mbs internet which works well. Good speed never had issues tv picture quality. Got a m- card set up the ceton went well for setup. Then the fun started....

Cons: On going issues of tuner conflicts , no tuner available, weak signal BUT YET I can run ceton diagnostic and the channel will be there and pass the tests completely. Tech support is only accessible by email and it takes at least 2 emails to get a reply at least 2 days after the second email. I wanted 3 tv's to be connected to the ceton each tv to have its own computer connected to our network in the house. Not using wifi but wired connections. Each of these tv's with their computer can stream hi def movies streamed off the internet but yet the ceton eth6 will puke. A waste of money and even worse a huge waste of my time. I am very technical have a good knowledge of windows pc hardware and networks.

Overall Review: This was my idea of cutting the cord on cable but after all the frustration I will probably take a different path. If ceton wants to be proactive about these issues find otherwise I'll try home@@n prime or try tv off the net. Btw my smart tv at the opposite end of house from the a.c. router can stream hd movies on wifi but I can't get the ceton eth6 to send big bang theory via Ethernet. Give me a break

great upgrade!

D-Link Wireless Dual Band AC1200 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-182)
D-Link Wireless Dual Band AC1200 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-182)

Pros: easy install receiver shows strong signal various places in house. Easily switch from 5ghz back to 2.4ghz depending on need.

Cons: once in awhile when the desktop it is now connected to comes out of sleep mode it will not become active without unplugging the cable from the back of the adapter. once you do that it is online right away

Overall Review: This replaced a previous dlink adapter that was a 150. very pleased had it online for 4 months.

amazing little device

Minix NEO-G4-108A 1 x HDMI Dongle Pocket PC
Minix NEO-G4-108A 1 x HDMI Dongle Pocket PC

Pros: I read prevous reviews and a couple of tech site reviews before i bought this. The a couple of weeks ago i waited too long to buy it on special from the egg. Then came back on sale for 59.99 free ship and i bought it right away before it was sold out again. I AM IMPRESSED. I set it up and used the mini remote to install it ( what a pain in the b...) . But was able to do it. Connected to my wifi right away and its pretty quick for a web browser and that is with only a "g" connection ( replacing my n router and waitin for new unit). This could easily be a basic web email reader for some one. I checked out a video clip from the net and looked great no problems. Set up was easy and now will order a "air" kb/mouse for it\ since i know i am going to like this.

Cons: The remote but for the money WHO CARES!!

Overall Review: i will get a nice input device and have streaming tv and internet combo in a room that doesn't have coax. Great little item. I am more pumped up about this stick computer than I am over some of the real powerful computers i have built. Even Newggs normal price this is worth it but on sale... WOW!
