Simple, Elegant Phone and MP3 Player

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:01:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Having been a previous owner of the original LG Chocolate, this phone is a vast improvement in terms of usability, reliability, and functionality. Built as a clamshell, this strays from what you would normally expect from a Chocolate, but has a...

Best option for the time being...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Motorola is one of the industry leaders for makers of cable modems. One of their newest, the SB5120 is no exception. Building upon their work in the successful surfboard series, the 5120 adds DOCSIS 2.0 compatibility in a smaller package. This is the...

Great no frills, cheap, dvd player....But don't expect too much.

Sat, 21 Jun 2003 02:52:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - There's really not a whole lot you can say about this DVD player. It's pretty much a standard no fri...

Looks so good on paper.....yet.....

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - I picked this up at a sale on amazon for about $1400 with shipping. This was meant as a replacement...

I like it :-)

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 05:21:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - If you want a cheap laptop without a need for anything extremely powerful, take a look at the FX310. Having paid only $800 for this, I cannot really complain about its minor faults. For the features that are offered, this should be retailing for about...

ATI TV Wonder: Not for the weak of stomach

Fri, 10 May 2002 05:50:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Sigh...another disappointment by ATI. What looked like a very promising card turned out to be nothing but headaches for me. It's a great card when it works, but be ready for some serious hair pulling when things go wrong. I've been working with this card...

Cordless Mice...If You Truly Can't Be At Your Desk

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 01:36:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - The Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical is a pretty well designed cordless mouse. For the average user who wants the freedom of having no wires, this mouse is one of the top contenders.

It features 3 buttons plus a wheel (which also is a...

THE standard for optical mice

Tue, 11 Dec 2001 08:12:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Logitech does it again with this simple, yet genius...cheap yet stylish optical mouse. I have been using this for about 6 months now and it was the best $25 I ever spent. For everyday use, this mouse is perfect.

The mouse weighs about 6 oz...

Netflix.com: Netflix, for avid connoisseur and the truly lazy

Sun, 22 Jul 2001 04:30:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - The idea behind Netflix.com is a great idea. Why go out to the video store when you just click away and have them delivered to you? They charge $20/month + tax for the ability to have 3 movies out at a time. There are no late fees and you can have the...

Audiogalaxy File Agent: Blocked off from Napster? Try this!

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 19:35:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - This is one of the nicest mp3 searching tools I have used. Basically, it offers the same services as Napster but with a little extra. This service comes in two parts. The first is the Audiogalaxy satellite which runs in the background as a p2p client. It...

Not So Great Anymore

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 01:14:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - For the longest time, the KT7-RAID was the flagship motherboard for the Athlon. Boasting on-board RAID and stepless frequency adjustments, it was the dream of overclockers everywhere come true. Unfortunately, a year has passed since its introduction and...

Style with no substance

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 08:46:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - If you only watch this movie once only for the raw action, this is a great film. I own the DVD of this and watched those action scenes a thousand times. Spielberg is a great director with a great crew, and he does his best to really try to draw you into...

Half-life? huh? Ohhh, you mean Counter-strike!

Tue, 13 Mar 2001 05:44:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - I never like half-life the game itself. I found it boring but the realistic weapons are nice. What I really liked though was the Counter-strike mod. It is the sole reason I upgraded my entire system, and the game I can find over 75% of the college kids...

Crust on Dust

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 09:48:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Stratton is about a good as a mountain you will find on the east coast. There was an unusual amount of snowfall this season, so there was a lot more fresh snow on the ground, but typically, it is heavily machine groomed. Hence the title crust on dust. I...

WWW Site Reviews: echo.com | surprisingly good quality free music, prizes

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 12:01:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - This is one of the best streaming audio jukebox type websites on the web. It has a VERY wide selection of genres ranging from classical to rap to trance to country. Not to mention that even though it is realplayer based, it is of very good...

If you like Gatecrasher, try this one

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:41:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - I loved the Gatecrasher compilations. I think I have all of them, Red, Black, Wet and Discotech...but this one falls a little short. Maybe I just expected a little too much, but Global Sound System kind of reminds me of "The Godfather Part 3". Some...

Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32: It's simply the best

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 05:32:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - For the speed, for the capabilities, for the price, for the hassle free installation, for the error proof technology, for the ability to burn anything, this is the best burner I have had the pleasure of using. When anybody asks me about what burner they...

It's like a gorgeous, high maintenance girlfriend

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 00:30:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - No offense to any of the ladies out there, but this nice new AMD Thunderbird 1.1 Ghz I have reminds me of an absolutely beautiful, but high maintenance girlfriend. It can offer you the highest of performance at times, but if you run into a problem, get...

Click Death...Need I say more?

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 07:38:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - These Iomega Zip Drives are about as unreliable and outdated as their older brother, the 3.5" floppy disk. I barely have anything good to say about this product.

Click Death

Click death is what some people call when your zip...

Best all-around "budget" monitor

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 06:43:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - This is a monitor I have no problems recommending to family and friends. I consider it the best monitor for normal everyday use. It has a nice .26mm diagonal dot pitch and can run up to 85 Hz @ 1024x768, which I consider to be the best resolution to use...

The Best Eyecandy for Your Buck

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 06:08:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - The Sony CPD-G400 will most likely be my longest lasting piece on my constantly evolving system. It is by far the cleanest, sharpest, brightest CRT I have ever seen. Combined with my Elsa Gladiac Ultra, my DiVX movies, pictures, and games never looked...

Netgear FB104 Network Starter Kit: A hassle for beginners but cheap/effective

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 03:09:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - The items in the FB105 starter kit are great, and even better as a package deal. Buying these items individually would tack on another $30-$50 to the price. It comes with a FS105 5-port ethernet switch, 2 FA311 NIC's and 2 25-ft. category 5 ethernet...

Elsa Gladiac Ultra: Great Card If You Can Afford It

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 06:16:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - What else can I say about this card that hasn't already been said. It will deliver what you expect from a currently cream of the crop nvidia gpu. I don't have to cringe when I get to a section of a game that has a lot of polygons anymore! Personally, I...

EPoX EP-MVP3G2: Great board, too bad it's Socket-7

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 15:20:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - This is one of the best Super Socket-7 motherboards on the market, unfortunately, Socket-7 has reached its end. It has all the features of a modern board, jumper-less bios, thermal sensors, agp, udma66, usb, etc. Like my Asus P5A, I did not have any...

Logitech WingMan Formula Force (963204-0120) Wheel And Pedals Set: It has issues...

Sat, 26 Aug 2000 17:21:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - In all fairness, this is probably the best force feedback steering wheel on the market at the time, but it was still not enjoyable for me to use.

The force feedback was pretty neat using it for the first time, and played a nice 4 hour session...
