Most Favorable Review

Great Fan for the price, Qient and good airflow.

GELID Solutions FN-SX12-10 Case cooler
GELID Solutions FN-SX12-10 Case cooler

Pros: I bought this and an ENERMAX UC-12EB 120mm fan placed side by side using the molex connector adapter for the fan since the mobo's 3/4 power connectors were already in use. The ENERMAX is more expensive, but doesn't compare to this. This puts out a little more air and is quieter. The cables for this are also in a nice sleeve and they're black. The rubber connectors that hold this in place are actually very nice. Tight and would keep vibration down, although I wouldn't see that as a problem anyhow if you tighten the screws down enough.

Cons: None... perfect for what I needed.

Overall Review: This does not have any LED lights. Not a con for me as I didn't want any.

Works Peferctly

Dell Notebook Docking Station PR02X K09A For Dell E Series Notebooks (AC Adaptor not included)
Dell Notebook Docking Station PR02X K09A For Dell E Series Notebooks (AC Adaptor not included)

Pros: Works great! Has 2 DVI ports Lots of USB ports Makes set-up at home a breeze.

Cons: None (Except I'm not sure Dell is supporting these anymore with newer model laptops. When my work upgrades laptops... in 3 or 4 years I'll probably be dead in the water.) Still worth every penny buying a refurbished one at a fraction of the original cost.

Overall Review: Use this with my Work Dell laptop. I have the lower model docking station at work (1 VGA port and 1 DVI). It works perfect and I'm very happy I bought it for quick and easy home set-up.

Pretty Cool looking and Feeling

Pros: They look and feel cool. They work extremely well and their sensitivity is fairly high. They also won't be affected by wood grains in your computer desk or lines on a notepad (that you may be using as a mouse pad).

Cons: Shipped all the way from China not a warehouse within the US... no joke. Cords are on the shorter side although they were still just long enough to provide some slack while reaching my computer that sits on the floor next to my desk. I was even able to get it plugged into the USB ports on the back of my machine. Shouldn't have any problems with the cord length unless you have an unusual set-up. The cords are also made of a very, very soft plastic. I was really surprised with how soft it feels. Could pretty easily be cut into or nom'd on by pets or small children. Almost feels soft like a twizzler, but without the stickiness.

Overall Review: I bought 2 of these, one for my work laptop and one for my home desktop. I have been extremely happy with the feel and construction of these so far.

Exactly what I was looking for

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: Works with my cell phone. Works great with my computer using the USB adapter. Also works with my Sony Surround Sound System. Cord is plenty long for computer or cell phone use. Headphones are comfortable. The microphone is detachable when not needed which is actually a very, very nice feature to have. Great for gaming or just listening to your favorite music and movies.

Cons: To sit in my recliner and watch TV or play console games using my Surround Sound system, I had to buy an 4-pole extension cable. Ear cushions could get dirty over the long-run and they are cloth so they will be harder to clean.

Overall Review: 3D sound using the USB adapter works... okay. I haven't really had a good game that stresses it yet, but using the demo with the installed software didn't really work as well as I thought it would. Still I love these headphones. Cord is perfectly long for using with your computer or cell phone. For the price, I wouldn't pass these up.

This thing is GREAT

Obihai OBi200 VoIP Telephone Adapter with Google Voice & SIP
Obihai OBi200 VoIP Telephone Adapter with Google Voice & SIP

Pros: I love making free phone calls in the US. I love having a home phone again that's free with no monthly subscription fees.

Cons: Can't make 911 calls without adding some sort of extra service. Also see other thoughts.

Overall Review: While you can't dial 911 because this is being routed through the internet, you can dial your police station/operators number directly using the normal 7 digit dialing. Just look up the number to your local police station/operator using the Internet... or the old school phone book.

Panasonic KX-TG4771B 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 1X Handsets Cordless Phones Integrated Answering Machine
Panasonic KX-TG4771B 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 1X Handsets Cordless Phones Integrated Answering Machine

Pros: I love that the cordless handset's base doesn't have to be plugged into the phone line. It only needs an A/C power connection. It receives its voice connection through the main base/handset phone that does get plugged into the phone line. I also love the speaker phone on both the cordless handset and the base handset. It works as advertised and is a perfect combination for an in-home office and house phone. Cordless phone uses regular rechargeable AAA batteries. Can add extra cordless handsets if needed.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I'm using this with an Obihai device and a Google Voice number to make free phone calls in the US. I normally use this as my in-home office phone but it also works great as just a home phone. I will probably upgrade and add an extra cordless handset at some point. I think this model can accommodate 5 cordless handsets.
