Business Users Beware

ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Awesome board.

Cons: Has no floppy connector. Floppy drives are only needed for business computers that run old software (like accountant's tax software). You could always use an external floppy, but those are expensive compared to internal floppies. This "con" does not apply to gamers or leisure computer users as floppy drives are obsolete. Didn't take off stars because most of the people that buy this board will not use it for a work computer.

Overall Review: They kept a parallel ATA connector in case you have a zip drive or random other drive. PATA is about as dead as floppies.

Has worked for a year

IOGEAR GCS1762 2-Port DVI KVMP Switch
IOGEAR GCS1762 2-Port DVI KVMP Switch

Pros: Never had a problem with it in over a year.

Cons: Sound is hard to transfer on fly.

Overall Review: Keyboard shortcuts help you transfer the sound. Read the manual to figure out how to operate the KVM with keyboard shortcuts and it will be a lot easier to transfer the sound and USB hub between computers.

Surprised at quality

APEVIA G-120MM 120mm Fan Grill
APEVIA G-120MM 120mm Fan Grill

Pros: The picture for the item does not do these grills justice. They are black not silver as the picture suggests. These are sturdy, look nice, and will keep wires away from fan blades. The package of three is a great bargain for its price.

Cons: none

Overall Review: What am I doing writing a review for fan grills?

Does a lot, but not well enough

ione KBN4 Gray & Silver 19 Normal Keys USB Mini Numerical Keypad
ione KBN4 Gray & Silver 19 Normal Keys USB Mini Numerical Keypad

Pros: The unit has a lot of features. You can switch between mouse mode, keypad mode, and both at once.

Cons: The keypad is a lot smaller than standard keypads. If your hands are big, then the keypad may be hard to use. The cord is also really short, so if you're not getting this for a laptop you will need a USB extension cable.

Overall Review: You may like this unit because it works as a number pad and mouse, but it does not do either better than stand alone mice and number pads.
