It's a power strip.

Pros: It's a power strip. It works. What else do you want to know, really?

Cons: none

Overall Review: Um.. just how does one review a power strip?

Great backlit keyboard

Microsoft  SIDEWINDER X4  Keyboard - Retail

Pros: It's a full backlit keyboard with macros media buttons and different profiles for $50. Unless you're going for a mechanical keyboard, this will do the trick for most.

Cons: Pretty easy to collect fingerprints on, but a simple wipe will do the trick.

Overall Review: As with any keyboard, it may take a little time getting used to typing on it.

Nice and simple

Pros: It's a tool kit, the case they come in isn't bad, either.

Cons: It's not free...? I dunno.

Overall Review: A bit of a struggle to get the tools back into the little elastic strap holders in the case sometimes, nothing to worry about.

Works

Pros: It's an extension cable... what more can you say, really?

Cons: none

Overall Review: If only it were longer, but oh well.

Loads of value

Intel Core i5-2400 - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52400

Pros: Blazing fast for the price. If you're a gamer, this thing will run all your games without a sweat. It performs great for your occasional rendering as well as multitasking as well

Cons: Stock fan is a bit meh, so I bought an aftermarket fan and now the temperatures is very stable. It also doesn't overclock very high, but that's to be expected of a locked multiplier.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a strong all-rounder CPU for your dollar, this is definitely the one to get. It may not overclock very far due to a locked multiplier (as to be expected), but even at stock is definitely more than enough for most operations.

Ignore all the bad stuff people are saying about the bass

SONY - Studio Monitor Series Headphones (MDR-XD200)
SONY - Studio Monitor Series Headphones (MDR-XD200)

Pros: Very cheap for a pair of headphones for studio work. Definitely recommended if you're an amateur musician and want a cheap solution for headphones. These things sound just about flat, which is great for studio headphones. The bass and treble is slightly off, though.

Cons: The bass was slightly higher than what I would've liked The treble was a bit mellow, and along with the bass, makes the headphones not sound completely flat. The overall headphones feel cheap (which is what I expected from a cheap pair of headphones, tbh) Not extremely comfortable, but it's nothing bad. The MDR ZX100's are more comfortable, but those are 30mm and not circumaural. The headphones also don't completely isolate outside noise, but that's fine.

Overall Review: Please ignore the people saying the bass is low. These things are most likely derived from Sony's MDR V6 headphones, which was originally meant for studio and DJ use. The "music mode" on the headphones may confuse you; all it does is cover different ports on the headphone for bass. Music covers the port for less bass while Movie opens it (it doesn't mean a thing for most people though)
