240HP, just what the doctor ordered.

Wed, 19 Dec 2001 22:10:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I've been a big fan of Nissan cars, ever since the 300ZX and then the beefy 222HP Maxima. Until now, I haven't yet found a car sporty enough, at an affordable price.

So here comes Nissan, with a 4-door car that has ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you...

A practical phone, great features

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 22:20:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I finally upgraded from my older Qualcomm phone. This is the phone I was waiting for. The old phone was bulky, I was really growing tired of it. The fact that I was made fun of for having a huge phone didn't help either. :(

I have cell...

Pricy but nice

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 23:49:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - When you buy luxury, you expect to get all the amenities, not just the bare essentials. Don't get me wrong, this is a great TV, the quality is incredible, but I wish there were more inputs for all my components. This my only real major complaint about...

Get's the job done

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 22:55:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Maybe I'm just picky, but there is not 1 dvd player out there that exactly fits my wants. There are so many quirks I have picking one out. I got this Pioneer as a birthday present just the other day.

Well, first off, it's definitely an...

Linksys Etherfast Cable and DSL Router: PPPoE users beware

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 00:24:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Okay, from the box, this thing looks like a jewel, when you take it out, you're in awe at the 5 autosensing switched ports. And of course, it's aesthetically perfect. DON'T BE FOOLED. This thing is a serpent in the grass. Evil, pure evil.

Hughes Networks D1132 Single LNB DIRECTV System: This thing cost me $15 !!!!

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:50:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Get rid of the vcr, toss the cable box (and bill), perhaps even those nasty rabbit ears....well, not really, but you'll use them a LOT less.

I've been using DirecTV for the last 5 or 6 years, and there's been no turning back for me. Back then...

I'm so happy with this TV

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:27:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I spent 3 months researching my purchase of a 32 or 36" tv. I finally decided on the Toshiba 36". They have newer models now, which are a little better than this one, but nothing really noticeable.

As far as the price goes, nothing...

AOpen FM56 SM: This IS a good modem

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 21:07:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Bottom line, I haven't found any Aopen products I didn't like. This modem is a good performer (for a modem). I've worked for an integrator, and we used these modems. Never had complaints, and I've used it myself with no problems. Although I will...

Abit performance on a budget

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 20:17:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - If you want to build a quality P3 system, without spending too much, you may want to consider this motherboard. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the BE6-2, but it almost as good, and is a very stable board. You can run your computer all...

Abit did it again.

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 20:06:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I have a slight grudge with Abit because they sold me on the BE-6 when it came out (which sucks). But the BE-6r2 is right on the money. Everything about it is great. This boards actually works. Everything works on it, and I have no complaints...

Avoid this board

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 19:54:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I've always enjoyed my abit motherboards, ever since their jumperless socket7 board that made them popular. I then upgraded to the BH-6, which I was very happy with. But the BE6 was a total dissapointment. Why you ask? The UDMA66 controller was a...

Not what you would expect

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 19:30:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I have to admit, I like ATI products, and I have always bought ATI, but as far as price/performance these days, this is not the card to get. The Maxx is indeed a good product, and does perform, but not nearly as much as one would expect.

In...

Don't let the remote fool you

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 05:53:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Although this unit sounds extremely well, and don't get me wrong, it's a fine piece of engineering. You might want to consider otherwise. Using that remote gets very annoying after a while. I actually resorted to using my old kenwood to change the...

Don't buy this one

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 05:39:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I've had this thing for a while. For $135, I couldn't resist, but honestly, it wasn't worth it. Spend the extra for a higher end dvd player. It skips on quite a few of my movies, and will not work with any of my multibrand remote controls. What do...

More features than a Lexus

Sun, 21 May 2000 17:57:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Okay, this board has it ALL. Everything that motherboard enthusiasts have been asking for, and then some.

- NO ISA SLOTS

- AMR audio/modem riser

- ONBOARD ETHERNET 10/100

- SB128 sound onboard

- AGP retention clip

Definately worth seeing

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 01:20:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Robin Williams is an exceptional actor of our time. Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams, Dead Poet's Society, Good Morning Vietnam, etc... If he's playing in a movie, I make it a point to see it. Bicentennial Man was definately not a dissapointment. No...

If you like Star Trek...

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 01:08:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I figured this was gonna be another sill slapstick parody. Well it is! Honestly though, it was well written, and they produced this movie quite well. The ironic part is that they did a BETTER job at graphics than paramount ever did on any previous...

Best 900mhz on the market

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 03:54:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I bought one of these 3 years ago, and I now own 2 of them. I will swear by this phone. Not only does it provide excellent signal, the battery life is fantastic.

Features include:

- digital answering machine

- caller-id on...

RCA DS2122RD Single LNB DIRECTV System: Cheaper than cable

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 03:21:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Your really can't go wrong with a DSS dish. You can easily pick one up for $100 or less. And the service costs only $20 for basic. You get superb quality, that of DVD's, for probably less than you pay for basic cable, which has lousy quality...

Don't get left behind

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 01:22:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - It's really sad that Mitsubishi decided to discontinue the 3000gt in the US. Among the affordable sports cars, this is one of the greatest around. I own the '93 base model, but I have no complaints. After driving the '99 Mustang (v6), and a '98...

It has a headphone jack!!!!!!

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 01:11:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - I only bought this unit for 1 reason, it has a headphone jack. Why is this important? I have an MP3 computer in my car, that would be useless without having an input to my stereo. The only alternative would have been an fm transceiver which degrades...

Best bang for the buck

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 01:02:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Bellsouth ADSL service is the best internet service aside from cable modem services, and even that can vary. As far as uptime and speed, no complaints. Not only that, Fastaccess is priced to own, for the same speed, this service cost nearly twice as...

Nextel Mobile Phone Service in Jacksonville: 2way is great, quality is lousy

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 00:53:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - Nextel has a monopoly on 2way wireless/cellphone solutions. This is a great arena that no other cell services dare to venture into. Why not?!? Compared to other cell services, Nextel seems to have weak antennas, and spotty coverage. It is digital,...

Size is not everything

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 00:43:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - These days, cell phones sell for one main reason, it's size. Yes, I like the small phones, they're small, you can put them in your pocket. But there are quite a few downfalls to small cellphones. More difficult to navigate menus and small keypads. I...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Logitech gaming mouse

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 00:21:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sharkis - This is one sleek looking mouse. I've had this mouse since it's been out 4 years ago, dubbed the Logitech Mouseman, now known as the Gaming Mouse. Like any other standard mouse, it requires a cleaning now and then, but it never gave up on me, and I now...
