NuForce Icon Mobile headphone amplifier and USB DAC (blue color) Review

NuForce Icon Mobile headphone amplifier and USB DAC
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have both the Icon and the Icon Mobile. The Icon Mobile is very nice but if you do not need portable I would get the Icon, the bass is significantly better than the Icon Mobile which lacks the current to drive headphones (if you use in ear you should be ok but I did not test with that), in all other respects they are the same. Sound quality is excellent on both. Their customer service is also excellent.

Highly recommended.

Connected to a computer via USB, the Icon Mobile can drive a pair of active, i.e., powered, speakers. 2. The external 3.5mm stereo input, when inserted, takes precedence over the USB DAC. This function allows the user to listen to music from sources such as an iPod without having to disconnect the Icon Mobile from the computer.Mobile Applications: 1.

The compact, lightweight Icon Mobile, which can drive a variety of headphones, connects to these devices via 3.5mm stereo input.

I was looking for a duplex card scanner to scan ID/insurance cards at a medical practice.Amazon did not have information on this scanner to say for sure, but some other sites online did note that this is scanner can do double-sided scanning.This is *not* a duplex scanner.The included software allows the user to scan a double-sided card as a single record, but the user must manual scan both sides of the card separately.There are other scanners out there that can scan both sides in a single pass...Ambir and ScanShell both make these types of scanners.

I just recently purchased this for my TV and 1 week later a mixup caused 220V to surge throughout the house for about 10 seconds. What happened? Some lights went out, the fridge completely burned out and I need a new one, I could smell smoke from something, but....my TV is perfectly OK.

The surge protector no longer works and now I need another one, but at least it's cheaper than a new TV. Oh yeah, I'm now buying units for EVERYTHING in the house, and even if it fails, Belkin has a warranty to replace the equipment, what else could someone ask?

I already have a dedicated stereo system when I listen to music so all I was looking for was the cheapest available speakers for my PC, something that would play mp3s and movies at moderate volumes. The Creative SBS260 actually sounds pretty good, has a very balanced sound. Not too much bass or treble and theres actually some resemblance of a midrange. Suprisingly wide stereo effect too. Personally I wouldnt spend more for a PC speaker system unless a subwoofer was needed. For the dirt cheap price the Creative SBS260 is hard to beat.

Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400-Watt CX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply compatible with Core i7 and Core i5 Review

Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400-Watt CX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply compatible with Core i7 and Core i5
Average Reviews:

I got this Corsair PSU to replace the 250-watt Bestec one that came in my Compaq Presario SR5707-C. It powers my system (including the GeForce 9600 GSO I added) beautifully, runs cool and quiet, has a power switch, and has long cables and plenty of cable ties (plus a "Powered by Corsair" sticker to put on your computer!). I've had my system running almost nonstop for 2 weeks with this new PSU and I've had no problems.

I highly recommend this PSU. Just be aware that the cables are long, so there'll be some crowding if you put it into a standard sized, pre-built computer along with a big video card.

rocketfish, like dynex, are brands owned by bestbuy, and since i havent heard of any PSU actually made by bestbuy, they are just rebrabded PSUs and so is the case with this one. it is made by Huntkey and is Huntkey's 650Watt unit. originally this sold for over $150, not a good deal, but at this currunt price of under $50 it is a steal. it only has a one year warranty but can deliver 700W. they did cut corners in a few areas like using smaller guage wiring for example. it does have active PFC, big plus there.

This is my secondary monitor for my laptop and works great.I was looking for something that is around 19" and gives better resolution than 1400 X 1050 on my laptop.
My main use of the unit is for VMs and text though I use it sometimes for graphics.

Gives 1680X 1050 max resolution at 60HZ refresh and well worth the money that you spend on it.It is not the glossy / ultra bright vivid color screen type, though you can use it at high brightness using the pre-sets or custom calibration.

Fellowes Keyboard Drawer (CRC91403) Review

Fellowes Keyboard Drawer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this keyboard tray so I could get my keyboard off the top of the desk (naturally).Overall, it does the job just barely well enough for me to not have ripped it out and installed a different one.

Pros:
- The mounting for the keyboard portion is reasonably solid
- The mouse pad can be set for left- or right-handed use
- It's an OK value for the money

Cons:
- The installation is difficult and badly documented.You need to be somewhat handy in order to follow the picture-only instructions.There are a number of key details of the installation that are *NOT* documented, and you need to figure them out for yourself.
- The keyboard tray is OK, but on the flimsy side.
- The mouse extension is *very* weak.If, like me, you use an oversize keyboard that takes up the entire keyboard tray portion you are forced to use the mouse tray.I can feel the mouse tray bending under my hand with every use.Frankly, I'm scared to put the full weight of my hand and arm on it because I'm afraid it will snap off.

Overall, I'm sure that there are better choices out there, and I suggest you find one of them.

Netgear GS605NA Giga Switch 5Port Review

Netgear GS605NA Giga Switch 5Port
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these units several months ago because I was constantly moving 500MB to 6GB MPG files between several of my regular computers and my DVRs and moving files this large takes quite a while at 100Mb. I hoped Gb speeds would help a lot. I did some timing and I was able to obtain about 3x shorter transfer times on my local LAN with everything connected to the Gb switch. My problem was that my house was already wired with CAT 5 cable and Gb ethernet really requires CAT 5e cable to get consistent speed. With my CAT 5 cabling, the speed was very intermittent--one time much faster and not the next.

I know this review should be about this product itself and so I'll say it's a fine product and I'll probably buy another one when I finally decide to re-wire my house. But inexpensive unmanaged switches like this are commodity products and this one is not a whole lot different than any other so I just buy whatever is cheapest.

Just make sure you have CAT 5e or CAT 6 cabling before going to Gigabit and expecting Gigabit speed.

Average Reviews:

My model is the DGS-2205 with the 5V power adapter. Like a previous reviewer, I noticed that I wasn't getting anywhere near gigabit speeds to my LaCie Ethernet Raid device. Well, that's because the LaCie Ethernet Raid Device is a slow pig.

After connecting my Mac Book Pro and my Mac Pro to the switch, I started offloading data to the Mac Pro.

Sustained throughput was 320 megabits per second with long bursts up to 720 megabits per second.At this point, the hard drive on the Macbook Pro was the bottleneck.Normally, I don't care for D-link products, but this little switch is quite the gem.

I've also noticed no noise from the unit, even when transferring large amounts of data at near wire speed.

Thermaltake W0070RUC TR2 Series 430W Power Supply with 2 Fans Review

Thermaltake W0070RUC TR2 Series 430W Power Supply with 2 Fans
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really nice power supply for the money. I have bought several of them and they work very quietly and efficiently.

If you are unfamiliar with how to install a new power supply you might want to follow these 10 simple steps:

1 Unscrew the four screws holding the old power supply to the case.
2 Pull the old power supply out and rest it on a corner of the case.
3 Put the new power supply into the case.
4 Follow the first cord of the old power supply noting the color of the wires and where they are located. You might want to write this down if your memory isn't the greatest.
5. Find a cord on the new power suppy that matches and plug it in to the empty socket. Push down hard to make sure the cord is well seated.
6. Keep doing this untill all cords on the old power supply are unplugged and replaced with cords from the new power supply.
7. Screw in the four screws to secure the power supply to the case.
8. Plug in the power supply
9. Turn on the switch to the power supply.
10. Turn on the computer.

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes and with the low cost of the Thermaltake power supply it makes it cost-and-effort effective to upgrade your old power supply.
