Little story, lots of shock, tons of awful camera work

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 12:43:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - Let me preface this review by saying that I love the zombie genre. It's the ultimate situation of a group of people that are all a target, and who eventually become hunters of the group after they fall. With that said, I did NOT like...

RocketRAID 2310 v2.0

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:51:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I purchased this controller card with the intentions of creating a RAID 5 array from four Western Digital WD6400AAKS drives, and wasn't dissapointed. Right off the bat, it's pretty clear that this controller card isn't one that's going to break any...

The full dock, but not much more than the D/Port

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:01:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - The Dell D/Dock is a full featured dock for use with Dell D-Series notebooks (ie D4x0, D5x0, D6x0, D8x0), but is very similar in it's feature set to the Dell D/Port port replicator,...

Best pointing device I've used

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:59:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I've previously used a Logitech wireless mouse, in the MX1000, but I've got to admit that the MX Revolution is a great upgrade! It sounds kindof dumb, because you'd think in a pointing device like a mouse there isn't a whole lot you can do to...

Almost a perfect HTPC Case

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I purchased the Antec 430 case for usage as a HTPC (home theater PC) case, to go into my home theater cabinet, and it's been nearly perfect start to finish. It's a pretty basic case, and it's most redeeming quality is something that will...

Stand at attention!

Wed, 5 Nov 2008 19:39:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - Let me preface this review by saying that the dock for the iPhone is almost completely unnecessary. All it does is give you a convenient spot to drop your phone to charge and sync. With that said, I don't know if I could go without it! ...

Simple speakers for simple tastes

Wed, 5 Nov 2008 12:41:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - The AS501 soundbar is a great idea; it's a few small speakers baked into a small package that attaches to your Dell Ultrasharp LCD on the underside. It draws power directly from the LCD itself (there is a power port for it on the LCD), and then...

Great LCD, awesome display, HEFTY pricetag

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:06:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - The Dell 2408WFP is a great monitor, by any standards. It's got a large screen, measuring 24" from corner to corner, and an excellent resolution at 1920x1200. Unlike many other LCDs, it has a very good viewing angle, in that you can see it from almost...

A phone, or a tiny comptuer? You decide!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - Once upon a time I had an AT amp;T wireless contract, which then turned in to Cingular, at which point I opted to go to Nextel due to better coverage. Years later, here I am coming back to AT amp;T wireless, and loving it!First thing's first:...

Great idea, poor execution

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:22:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I got one of the new Jawbones to go with my 3G Iphone.. I figured that as long as I'm overpaying for a phone (long-term expensive contract), I might as well get a fancy pants Bluetooth headset to go with it. Boy was I surprised with what I...

Perfect for work, great for home

Mon, 18 Dec 2006 00:24:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I purchased my Dell Lattitude D620 almost six months ago, and shortly after that started deploying them at work. Overall, I had previously used a Dell Inspiron 600M (the home-equivalent of the Lattitude D600), and moved to the D620 after reading about...

Good picture, terrible sound

Sun, 21 May 2006 05:20:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I received one of the A710 monitors as a raffle prize, and I've got to say, it's not a half-bad monitor. There's no frills on this one; just a bargain LCD, with bargain features. It has a 17" viewable area, with native resolution of 1280x1024, so...

Dell 4R084 Secondary Battery

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 22:05:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I've been using a Dell 600m for a month or two now, and even though the battery life was great, I wanted it to be more along the lines of amazing, possibly even "AMAZING!". After doing some looking around, I found one of these gems on eBay, and grabbed...

Decent performance, but lacking in battery life

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 00:03:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I came across this laptop by chance from a friend, and used it for a few weeks as an auxiliary internet access terminal. There wasn't really a whole lot of research done on my part, just a "well, it's cheap so sure". Here's a quick rundown of what my...

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard: No fans? Support for everything? Count me in!

Sun, 11 Dec 2005 21:44:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - After the flop that was my Pentium D 830 system, I wanted to move on to a platform that had similar (if not better) performance, as well as one that had the heat output slightly less than my space-heater (the 830 was outrageously hot, even when idle...

Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist: It seemed very familiar... because I've already seen it

Sun, 27 Nov 2005 21:56:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - While browsing through my local video store, I came across a new release titled "Exorcist: Dominion". The plot looked good, although very familiar. After watching, I realized why it seemed familiar: because I've already seen it. In 2004, "Exorcist:...

Intel Pentium D 830, 3.0 GHz (BX80551PG3000FN) Intel Boxed Processor: Hot, Hot, Hot!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - I received my 7735x as a gift from my girlfriend for Christmas, and I really, really love it! The idea of being able to shave with little to no risk of ever cutting yourself is great, not to mention that I get to hang out in the shower a few more...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - So I was in the market for a new alarm clock.

After checking GE's website for their latest and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author s-o-m-e-g-u-y - Not too long ago, I was looking for a cheap motherboard for a new build.
