SD-CF II : SD to CF Type II Adapter (Supports SDHC)


Bought this to use with my aging Canon Rebel XT, the only device I have that still uses CF. Put in my 8GB class 10 SDHC card that I use in my Panasonic camcorder, works fine. Camera sees all 8 GB, even though the display will only go up to 999 pictures remaining. All in all, an excellent adapter that performs as advertised and allows me to throw the last of my CF cards in the back of a drawer.Get more detail about SD-CF II : SD to CF Type II Adapter (Supports SDHC).

HDMI-M to DVI-M Cable, 25 FT / 7.6 M Review


Ok so a saw a few articles on the web talking about
it doesn't matter if you get a Monster cable or a cheap cable like this because
the signal is digital it either works or it doesn't there is no in between, better or worse product.
WRONG!!!!!
I bought 3 of these cables - ONLY 1 of them actually carry an HD signal successfully.
But the reason I gave this a high rating is because even though I had to buy 3 of them to get one that works...
it still only cost me a fraction of 1 Monster cable so hey im happy!!
Just thought you should know the entire story though.Get more detail about HDMI-M to DVI-M Cable, 25 FT / 7.6 M.

Sony 25DPW47RS2 DVD+RW Re-Recordable DVD (25-Pack Spindle) Top Quality


On September 19th of last year purchased this product and over the course of 6 months found several of these disc to be defective:did not want to contact Sony each time this happened, but rather when the group was finished. Called today and was put on a "classical merry-go-round" for one hour, with each department passing the buck to another.Started with a phone number listed as customer support; they said, you must speak to media and gave me another number; media could not help me and gave me still another number; this gal that I spoke to identified herself as working for Sony Styles and said we are a different company and could not help me either nor had any idea who could.Looked in papers for a non 800 number, called and got the same gal that I had just spoken to.THE ISSUE IS NOT THE MONEY INVOLVED, OBVIOUSLY, BUT RATHER THE TOTAL LACK OF INTEREST IN SATISFYING A CUSTOMER WITH A LEGITIMITE COMPLAINT.
There customer service has always been top draw with electronics; however, I will never buy another media product from them.BUYERS BEWAREGet more detail about Sony 25DPW47RS2 DVD+RW Re-Recordable DVD (25-Pack Spindle).

Verbatim 96166 4.7 GB 16X LightScribe DVD-R, 50-Disc Spindle This instant


I don't mind paying a little extra for quality products. I discovered, after many hundreds of dollars in cheap media, that cheap media end up costing more at the end. I lost track of the many dead DVDs and CDs I trashed over the years or the hundreds of hours I spent to create a DVD or CD duds. Verbatim is little overpriced for my taste, but I'm yet to burn a dud due to media quality.Get more detail about Verbatim 96166 4.7 GB 16X LightScribe DVD-R, 50-Disc Spindle.

Boss SP12-100 S OFC Speaker Wire 12 Gauge 100 Ft. Get it now!


I set my wire stripper at 0.085" diameter and it cut perfectly thru the insulation without damaging any wire strands. So I'm thinking it's definitely 12 gauge plus it looks thicker & better than some old monster 16 gauge that I replaced with this new Boss 12 gauge wire. My only concern is I ended up using all 100 ft in my 17ft x 15ft bonus rm installing some rear surround sound speakers and replacing the 2 side speaker wires... kinda makes me question the 100ft length (hmmmmm). Overall I'm happy with the product and the spool & wire looks exactly as pictured.Get more detail about Boss SP12-100 S OFC Speaker Wire 12 Gauge 100 Ft..

Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook Attache (Black) Buy Now


This is a well made nylon netbook case. It is a little tight for the Toshiba NB305 only because of the way the battery is made on the 305. but it works fine. It has the main pocket of the computer, another full size compartment that can hold power cord, USB flash drive, papers, etc.; plus a smaller pocket on the front. I love the fact that it has a shoulder strap to free up both hands when needed such as when you are at the counter in a fast food place to handle money, food, etc. - Very SataisfiedGet more detail about Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook Attache (Black).

Premium White Mini DisplayPort to VGA Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air, Mac Mini Laptop Right now


This product worked great for about 6 weeks. Then, all of the sudden, it just stopped working! In less than 2 months!

I contacted the seller, and they refused to refund, replace, or repair since it had been more than 30 days. They suggested I contact the manufacturer.

I contacted the manufacturer and explained the situation, and... they ignored me. Completely. Not a single reply.

I contacted Amazon, since this is completely ridiculous, and they also refused to help.

Look at these reviews and you'll see a trend -- a horrible product that works for a month or so and then breaks. Nobody will replace it or repair it, and you'll be out of the money. I know it's not very expensive, but that's not the point. I order a LOT of things from Amazon, and for them to offer a product that has gotten such poor reviews and to be totally unconcerned about it is totally unacceptable. I certainly don't plan to stop using Amazon, of course, but I did cancel three months' worth of subscription orders. It may cost me a bit more to buy them locally for the next three months, but being able to reduce Amazon's revenues by $180 is priceless. I'll of course continue to shop on Amazon, but they've missed out on that $180 forever because they sold a crappy $10 part that nobody would stand behind. Hope they enjoy whatever tiny margin they got off that $10 sale!Get more detail about Premium White Mini DisplayPort to VGA Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air, Mac Mini Laptop.

Cheap Grado Mini Adaptor Cable - 1/4 Inch to 1/8 Inch Plug


After waiting a week after forever for the package to finally arrive, it was the wrong product (stereo instead of mono 1/8th inch jack), came in a box that could have contained 10,000 of the same product..... beaten all to heck and 7 days passed an already unbeleivable wait. When I tracked the item I was told on the phone it was delivered..... but even their own tracking software didn't suggest it had arrived.... and then, ta da..... 3 days later.

Buying (3 Pack) Canon 0263B001A Compatible Black Laser/Fax Toner Cartridge


These are very good, but not quite up to the Canon standard, as per number of copies per cartridge. However, you can't tell the difference ink-wise, one from the other.
Purchased these for my church copier and they are cost effective, but you don't get quite as many copies out of these as you do the official cartridge. However, if you compare prices and copies and do some calculating, you are still getting more copies for the buck, you just have to replace the cartridge more often. Still well worth it tho, so don't go spending big bucks on the name brand especially if you are budget bound!Get more detail about (3 Pack) Canon 0263B001A Compatible Black Laser/Fax Toner Cartridge.

Buy Cables Unlimited USB 2.0 to Serial DB9 Adapter (USB-2920)


I use this on my Windows 7 laptop when I needed to interface with an old Garmin Etrex GPS unit. I use it for taking some measurements in laying out fiber and wireless plans in New Hampshire to get a rough estimates o0f system layouts and I decided to use my old TROPO software as well rather than buying and installing the new software. It was installed instantly under Windows 7 and operated flawlessly. This is a very inexpensive way to keep some older equipment and software around. It installed so seamlessly that I was surprised since I did not even need the disk. That is one of the better features of Windows 7.

My only advice is be sure to remember what COM Port was installed, it was COM 4 on my system so I had to rest the TOPO software.Get more detail about Cables Unlimited USB 2.0 to Serial DB9 Adapter (USB-2920).

Order Original HP 564 Black Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging


Used the 564black that was shipped with my printer. Even with below average printing (occasional) and always using fast-economical prints, the printer now says I am very low on ink! I am going to let it drain all the way until it prints no more. In any case, I can understand that this being a small cartridge and all, but its not worth wasting so much plastic to house such a micro sized ink. I dont know what HP achieves by these low volume cartridges (other than being able to ship a cartridge with the printer).Get more detail about Original HP 564 Black Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging.

Original HP 920 Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging Review


All cartridge installed in a NEW printer. The yield is expected to be 420 for Black, and 300 for other cartridges. Actual yield was 305 for all. So colors performed as expected however, BLACK yield was reduced by more then 25%.

Strange: HP's warrenty does not cover empty cartridges even when the yield is very low. I will consider brands other then HP for future purchases.

The prices on Amazon are much better then in MOST in-store prices, but I would recommend only buying 920XL versions only. The yield is approximately 2.5 times higher but the cost is not. Which means the Return On Investment is much better.Get more detail about Original HP 920 Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging.

6ft Toslink to Mini Toslink Cable Top Quality


I use this cable to connect my MB Pro to my digital receiver and it works great. I use my laptop to stream movies from netflix and other online sources, so I generally connect my laptop to my HD TV using a miniDisplayPort -> HDMI plus an audio connection. I had been using a standard mini-to-RCA cable (headphone plug to analog plugs in the back of your stereo) but was finding that my laptop would generate a significant amount of electronic noise (buzzing, pops, etc.) over this connection which I attributed to ground loops and unshielded behavior in the computer. This isn't unexpected, the laptop is tiny and it's probably impossible to shield everything!

The solution was to use an audio cable without any electronic (metal) connection. The optical cable does this beautifully: since the signal is transmitted with light, it's impossible for electronic noise to "ride" on the cable to the receiver.

You've probably assumed that since I own a MB Pro, I don't shy from purchasing expensive brand-name items. This is true, but I also realize where I can save money without any loss in functionality. This item is cheap, but:

1. It has no moving parts, so it shouldn't fail in the future
2. It's not long, so light transmission isn't a concern
3. As long as you don't step on it, or crimp the cable, it should last for many years: there's nothing to rust.

Since it is cheap, I'd expect some of these products to fail initially, but if they work, it should work forever (or at least until the new digital-cable standards come out). Remember, even many of these purchased are way cheaper than one(!) monster cable. Also, since it lives behind your receiver, you don't even have to tell your friends that you have a cheap optical cable.Get more detail about 6ft Toslink to Mini Toslink Cable.

3.5mm Stereo Male to Female Extension Cable 25 ft. Decide Now


We have had these for a few weeks now and all 8 have proven to be rugged, short-free, and reliable to the end. We are using them to record a demo. The room is sizable, but there is no avoiding having the lines continually stepped on, pulled, and generally abused by 5-6 people at a time. They have held up without a problem. I recommend these to anyone looking for a reliable, cheap, and rugged solution.

As for sound, they are what they should be. I notice no change when the headphones are plugged into an extension or they are directly plugged in. We are using an 8 channel Behringer headphone amplifier.

At 25 feet, these extensions can nearly reach across our practice space too.

In short, buy more than you need. You never know when they'll come in handy.Get more detail about 3.5mm Stereo Male to Female Extension Cable 25 ft..

Cheapest 6FT. HD Component Cable for Nintendo Wii


I was looking for a cheap way to take advantage of the system's 480p capability. I found this after looking on line and it arrived reasonably fast. The cable preforms fine except that when ever anything kicks on, ie dishwasher, refrigerator, furnace, in our house I get flicker on the television set. Now it isn't enough to return the product as I bought cheap and received cheap. I may go back to the cables that came with the system and live with 480i.

Just beware that when buying cheap you have to remember that you get what you pay for.

Macally G-S350SU Hi-Speed eSata/USB2.0 External Storage Enclosure for 3.5inch SATA HDD


This is a sleek HDD enclosure that one would want to put it on top of his or her computer desk. However, the noise coming from the working hard drive is noticeable unless you place it far away from you or under your desk. By doing that you would lose easy access to the power switch. I even chose to use the rubber feet stands, expecting they would provide some type of noise reduction. No significant improvement. Maybe my WD drives are louder than others. I don't know about that since I love WD HDDs and don't own other brands. Or maybe the enclosure just amplifies the noise from the hard drive by design since metals are touching each others inside the case.
It deserves a 4-star because of its nice looking and usability, but I wouldn't turn it on for long because the noise gets annoying overtime.
Pardon my English.

Lowepro Messenger Factor M Computer Bag--Fits Most 14-Inch Laptops (Black) Top Quality


This bag was bigger than expected, a pleasant surprise. It fits my 13" Macbook nicely in the padded pocked inside the bag. On the inside of the bag there are three open pouched that you could toss in mice, battery chargers, or whatever (These pouches aren't shown in the pictures). I don't like how the two clips that hold the flap down are on the inside of the flap when the flap it down. When I want to open the flap, I have to reach slightly under the flap to un-clip it. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. There is only one big zippered pouch on the flap. There is no big pouch on the side of the bag that rubs against you, unlike many other messenger bags. As another reviewer mentioned, this bag doesn't appear to be a computer bag at first glance, but rest assured it has a nice padded compartment for a laptop.
