ASUS Reliability

Pros: This Motherboard offers the best bang for your buck. Have always been very satisfied with ASUS Motherboards. Very dependable.
Cons: None, Maybe price
Overall Review: This board is great! Went to asus web site, downloaded current bios, (0406) put it on a flash drive. ASUS makes it very easy to update in bios.
Excellent Drive, Bad Software

Pros: Plextor has always been synonymous with quality. They are built exceptionally well and will outlast most other drives.
Cons: The software is absolute JUNK! I would have rated this drive 5 egg if they wouldn't have included this bloatware.
Overall Review: Use the software CD for a coaster. I would NOT recommend installing this cr*p, even a custom install will not work. It will install everything including the kitchen sink regardless of what you select.
ASUS RT-N56U

Pros: Dependable, Have owned and used this router 4 years and it hasn't had any problems . Great coverage, 2,400 sq ft home and even have coverage out in the barn.
Cons: Runs a little warm but hasn't caused any issues in 4 years of service
Overall Review: ASUS generally makes a pretty good product and hopefully you will never need to contact their support, because ASUS support is pretty much non-existent
Husky

Pros: Easy start, Fast shipping, Looks better than what I expected.
Cons: It was missing a part. There's a special Zip tie that secures the throttle cable to the main blower hose, not a big deal but I docked 1 star for it.
Overall Review: I was a bit nervous ordering a refurbished unit but honestly this thing is like new, (other than a few scratches on the plastic blower tube). This engine started on the second pull, runs great and moves wet leaves easily. It appears to have a new carburetor and throttle cable. Spark plug is new.
Verbatim Dual Layer

Pros: Good quality discs that hold a lot of data, movies etc. Have not had a bad one yet. (out of 100 discs burned)
Cons: Still too expensive
Kansas City Steak

Pros: It arrived on time and wasn't very expensive, although you get what you pay for
Cons: Cheap quality
Overall Review: I never realized Kansas City was in China
Refurbished
Purchased 2 refurbished items from this company. A leaf blower and a Weed Trimmer. Both looked brand new. Excellent customer Service, prompt response to questions.
