I just recently dumped my old Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop because it just couldn’t do what I needed it for any longer.

USB, 4 ports, Firewire, DVI, etc. I don't need much of it, just a simple KVM with 2 cables for my casual dual PC needs. I knew IOGear was a reputable company,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178192748164 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 02:25:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178192748164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178109255300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Printers are an odd piece of hardware for today's computer users. While they are usually bundled into computer packages by vendors like Dell and HP, you can usually get better models by buying them stand alone. You may ask yourself why they have gotten... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178109255300 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 13:48:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178109255300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178036969092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - I recently built a computer for a client and our price ceiling came out at $1000. This is a fairly good price limit for a gaming computer, and the whole machine turned out great. I looked hard for a great card to fit within this budget and that would go... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178036969092 Sun, 27 Mar 2005 19:50:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178036969092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177965010564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Why do some people demand such high quality mice in an age where the mouse has almost hit a design ceiling? Now with the introduction of the first Laser mouse by Logitech many people are questioning how great their LED based optical mice are. I'm one not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177965010564 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 22:17:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177965010564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177957736068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Being a longtime ATI user, it was like moving to a communist Soviet Union when I decided to give the green side of nVidia a run for its money. I went from an ATI 3D Rage to 9700 Pro to X800 Pro. The first two of this array treated me very well, allowing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177957736068 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 20:46:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177957736068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177952689796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Not too long ago I wrote a review for a Zen Xtra 30GB MP3 player, made by the same company, Creative. That player suited my needs quite well, but after having some issues with its front plate and battery life, I decided to look into the Zen Touch. This... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177952689796 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 19:39:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177952689796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176550743684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - It's been almost 8 years since I've used a Jansport pack for my daily needs. After going thru a simply mediocre one that had limited space and didn't have strong zippers or any of the &#147works&#148 which I need, I switched to an LL Bean Day Transit... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176550743684 Mon, 14 Mar 2005 00:23:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176550743684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170752118404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - It&#146s not white, it&#146s not cute, hell, it&#146s not even the sleekest thing compared to an iPod. Why would anyone even consider such a product, like, when the iPod is the ultimate MP3 player on the, um, planet? Well, maybe because the iPod is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170752118404 Sun, 23 Jan 2005 01:31:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170752118404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170742746756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Even though I call myself a computer enthusiast, I usually don’t keep up with the tech trends like most people in my area do. “Hot tech” for gamers is usually the latest video cards, processors, motherboards, and memory that are possibly available.

After receiving an Asus A8V rev 1.02 this last summer, I wanted a board that would OC better than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170712075908 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 18:11:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170712075908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167912509060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - I&#146m quite surprised to see this movie actually scoring an average of 4 stars among Epinions reviewers. Leaving political beliefs aside, I have to accredit Michael Moore with being a very good filmmaker. I have seen his former hit, Bowling for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167912509060 Sun, 2 Jan 2005 16:22:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167912509060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167797493380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Why a review of such an outdated card? Simple. Because even 5 years after it was released, it still presents itself as a viable option for those home workstations of internet computers that we still use but don&#146t need high-end graphics for.

Working behind a LAN party in Chicago IL, I know how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156761230980 Mon, 4 Oct 2004 01:00:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156761230980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_156759133828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - I’ve been using Western Digital for a long time now, and didn’t have any intentions to switch.

I posted my review on the BEFSR41 almost two years ago, and I stand behind it still today... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156696678020 Sun, 3 Oct 2004 00:18:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156696678020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_151902391940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - From the Beginning 4 years of development is an unusually long time for a game. However, Doom 3 is not just a game. This game represents a new era of PC gaming that only happens ever so often. When the first Doom came out for the PC back in 1991, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~151902391940 Mon, 16 Aug 2004 00:14:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_151902391940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135111282308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Counter Strike began as a simple modification for the game Half Life back in 1998. This small mod grew from a basement creation into one of the largest and most (debatably) popular online games for the PC. It is not technically a game by itself; it is a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135111282308 Wed, 31 Mar 2004 01:48:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135111282308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_134931189380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author express15_99 - Wow. I cannot find another word for the kind of service and prices that I have encountered at Newegg. This site was recommended to me by various computer people that I know, and I was skeptical.

My first Unreal game was Unreal Tournament 2003 for the PC back in 2002. This was only a year after I jumped into PC gaming, and boy was I amazed at what I saw when I purchased this now-buried game.

It's successor, Windows 98, only made life easier and using a computer so much easier.
