Most Favorable Review

Easy to use, good read speeds

Kingston 8GB DataTraveler G4 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (DTIG4/8GB)
Kingston 8GB DataTraveler G4 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (DTIG4/8GB)

Pros: This is a great choice for a flash drive. It is small, has a cap, looks good and due to its size it is easy to plug in and out of USB ports. At USB 3.0, has great read speeds, up to 90 Mb/s.

Cons: Somewhat slow on write speeds at USB 3.0, topping 14 Mb/s.

Overall Review: I bought two of these in a promotion for about $6.00 each. For that price, with free shipping, it was hard to argue, it was the best choice out there. One might consider a higher capacity but USB 2.0, which you can find around easily. But as far as USB 3.0 goes, these are a good buy.

Most Critical Review

Awesome headset. Don't buy it if you have an iPhone.

LG HBS-730 Black TONE+ Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset
LG HBS-730 Black TONE+ Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Pros: Sound quality, build, features, controls, comfort, everything is great about the headset

Cons: Connectivity. Just google "iPhone HBS-730 problems". There is something wrong with the profile of HBS and the one on the iPhone, iOS 6. Everybody with it is having a really bad time with it. Audio cuts, lags, 10, 15 times per song.

Overall Review: I just wish LG would have tested these with any iPhone. Obviously, they didn't. I tried calling the support, and perhaps I should have talked to my door. It was useless, the person did not understand the problem and his help was: "Perhaps it doesn't work well with Apple devices". Seriously?

Fast and quiet!

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 HYBRID GAMING, 11G-P4-6698-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, HYBRID & RGB LED, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 HYBRID GAMING, 11G-P4-6698-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, HYBRID & RGB LED, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors

Pros: All the benefits of FTW3 with the quiet of a water-cooled system.

Cons: Card is big, may not fit your case, and make sure you have a good spot for the radiator.

Overall Review: Definitely recommended. It is a solid build and GPU Boost works great. In my system, it won't cross 50ºC ever. If you already have a custom loop you might want to check other models to save money of course, but if you're just looking for a quiet plug in and have it go water-cooled card, I can't think of a better one than this.

Great Headset for its Price

Logitech Recertified 981-000507 H340 USB Connector Headset
Logitech Recertified 981-000507 H340 USB Connector Headset

Pros: Sound quality is good, price is absolutely perfect and it is comfortable after a few hours of use, or perhaps days depending on how often you use it. Comes with a flexible cable and it is extremely light weight overall.

Cons: Mic is a bit muffled. Build is delicate and as simple as it gets, all in plastic.

Overall Review: This is a great headset, sound quality is good. The mic is a bit muffled, but for the price I wouldn't expect top notch environment canceling mics. While it might muffle the voice, it also takes away a lot of environmental noise. I also found these to be extremely light and comfortable. Some over the ear headphones are made with leather or something that resembles leather, but after a few minutes my ears are sweat. Not with this one. It sits comfortably on my ears, and since it is extremely light I can use it for hours without noticing I'm wearing them. One might note they are a bit tight at first, but with a few days of use it will adjust to you better, or vice versa, and that weird feeling of pressure goes away. The cable is also long enough that I can connect it to my computer that is about 4 feet away and still have some cord to sit comfortably on my desk. Build quality is ok. No it is not the best, but one can't compare this to a $300 headset. Overall, a great headset if you're looking to listen more than you talk. If you need to use the mic a lot you might consider something else for a clearer mic capture.

Great Quality!

StarTech.com 15 ft White 15 ft White Snagless Cat5e UTP Patch Cable Patch Cable
StarTech.com 15 ft White 15 ft White Snagless Cat5e UTP Patch Cable Patch Cable

Pros: Great quality cable as you would expect from StarTech.

Cons: None so far.

As a Mini DisplayPort cable, works perfectly!

Nippon Labs MINIDP-6-MM 6 ft. Mini DP DisplayPort Male to Male Cable, Black
Nippon Labs MINIDP-6-MM 6 ft. Mini DP DisplayPort Male to Male Cable, Black

Pros: Flexible, yet strong, well built, cable's color is white as the rest of the other cables, not grayish or too brigh.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I was a bit reluctant specially since others apparently had issues trying to use it as a thunderbolt cable, but for me, using it specifically as a Mini DisplayPort cable, it works flawlessly.
