Nippon Labs Black 1.5M 4.92 ft. eSATA Cable 3.0Gbps Male to Male I Shape for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.5ft Model ESATA-1.5M-BK 1.5 feet

Pros: Does what it's supposed to do.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I bought this to connect my 1 TB external hard drive to my double port ESATA card. It works great and is longer than similar cables. No complaints.

Most Critical Review
AMS 2-Port eSATA PCI-E Host Controller Model SP-PCIE3132
AMS 2-Port eSATA PCI-E Host Controller Model SP-PCIE3132

Pros: Vista installed it automatically

Cons: No CD SATA 1, not Sata 2 for me.

Overall Review: The pictures for the product show a CD, it did not come with a CD or any instructions. It was just in a foil bag in a plain little white box. I bought this to plug 2 eSATA hard drives into. Vista recognized it and installed the drivers. I then plugged the 2 hard drives into it and they showed up in "My Computer" ready to access and use. The problem is the speed. It shows up in device manager as SATA 1 even though the specifications on its Newegg page clearly say "External SATA II (eSATA) Connector" and "Supports SATA II transfer rate of 3.0Gbps". Device manager for the device says "Generation 1 (1.5 Gb/s)". So instead of a 300 mb/s transfer rate the highest I am getting is 75 mb/s. I even tried updating my BIOS and other things and still it shows up as SATA 1. Also no support from the manufacturer. You are on your own trying to figure it out. The drives do not show up in "Safely Removable Hardware" in Vista, so you just have to hit the "off" button risking damage.

Flimsy

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Cheaply made. This thing collapses to the desk when you type on it. Every key I hit the thing would cave in in the middle. I'm returning this cheap flimsy thing immediately.

Basic Speakers

Logitech S120 2.0 Stereo Speakers, Black
Logitech S120 2.0 Stereo Speakers, Black

Pros: Cheap Work

Cons: None

Overall Review: Just needed to buy some basic speakers for my mother's computer. These work fine. If you want more high end speakers you are not going to find them at this price point, so people who are complaining that they are "tinny" or don't have enough bass need to go to a higher price point. If you just need basic speakers these are fine and do what they are supposed to do.

Just what was needed

PPA 1431v 6 Channels 16-bit PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: Cheap Works

Cons: None

Overall Review: My mother's computer had its sound card stop working, so I just needed to buy her something cheap, nothing special was needed. This does the trick and works just fine. A basic sound card for your basic needs.
