Easy Cheesy!

ASUS RT-N66U N900 Dual-Band WiFi Gigabit Router
ASUS RT-N66U N900 Dual-Band WiFi Gigabit Router

Pros: Quick easy setup! Replaces my router AND repeater! Excellent U/I! Firmware was up to date, out of the box! Design looks great

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Got this unit in the mail yesterday. In less than 30 minutes I had it installed and configured in place of my primary WiFi router, a 6 or so year old gateway router, a WRT-54G, that wasn't allowing wifi connections anymore. I also purchased a Belkin Play300 (I think) as a repeater, because the 54G would not reach front front right corner of house (office) to back left corner (m.bdrm). The Dark Knight sitting in the same corner as the 54G reaches all corners of the house (2200 sqft, concrete/block). Brought up WiFi Analyzer on my Galaxy Tab 2, and the Dark Knight also shows a steady 10dbm signal increase over the Belkin in the back corners and center of the house. Nice! So far so good. Very impressed.

Pros: Runs both SLI and crossfire. Runs raid0 and raid1 simultaneously Works great, when it worked

Cons: Died after nearly 3 years of use when I plugged a standard mic into the mic port/on board audio.

Overall Review: Called customer service line, limited hours of support. Loved this mobo until it died.

Had these a long time...

GE 28112EE3-A 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 3X Handsets Cordless Phone Integrated Answering Machine
GE 28112EE3-A 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 3X Handsets Cordless Phone Integrated Answering Machine

Pros: 6.0ghz Doesn't interfere with WiFi Doesn't receive interference from Microwaves Makes phone calls

Cons: Won't work in back corners of house 2 years later the batteries barely get 15 minutes of talk time. 3 units, $16 per battery = the cost of the set. Boo.

Overall Review: As a previous reviewer stated, the audio is pretty low on these guys.

Dead after 3 months

P3 Kill A Watt Electricity Load Meter and Monitor
P3 Kill A Watt Electricity Load Meter and Monitor

Pros: Displays voltage, wattage, and some other neat functions.

Cons: Left this unit plugged in between an UPS for my PC and a surge protector. Unit died after 3 months. Unlikely surges had anything to do with it as the surge protector is fine and has not tripped. We have had a couple brownouts... But I would expect a power meter to be able to handle fluctuations in power.

Overall Review: Worked as advertised. I was able to tell how much power my entire setup (2 monitors, Core i7 system, and Xbox 360) would draw at full and minimum load... Which is very helpful with an average electric bill of $400+.

Works great in my zt3000
