"Labtec Axis 322 Headset with Boom Microphone"

The Labtec Axis 322 Headset with Boom Microphone may appear to be a good inexpensive microphone and headset for use in online games and internet telephony, but it's less than ideal for a variety of reasons.While most microphones use USB, the Labtec Axis 322 uses the 1/8" audio jacks for headset and microphone.  It's perhaps only a tiny hassle to hook up one extra cord, but it also means you can't leave it attached to your system if you want to use the speakers.  Most USB microphones can be configured ot...

"Logitech PlayGear Share Audio Splitter"

The Logitech PlayGear Share Audio Splitter is a small device used to split one audio output into two.The product was designed for the PSP, but as it uses standard 1/8" audio jacks it will work on any device that supports them, such as any computer, and will output just fine to any set of earbuds or headphones. It's about 3" long and fairly flexible, so it works well even in cramped spaces if you need it to.  The material goes back to its original shape though, so if you want it to stick in a permanent location ...

"iRiver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter"

The iRiver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter is a device to be plugged into the cigarette lighter of your car and the other end into any audio device with headphone output (1/8" audio jack like on a MP3 player, CD player, or laptop).  It then broadcasts a radio transmission that you can tune into with your car radio.The iRiver AFT 100 allows you to change the station it broadcasts too -- any FM station is valid.  Because it's not a very powerful transmitter, you will frequently run into interference from other stat...

"Netgear MR814v2 802.11b Wireless Router"

The Netgear MR814v2 is a little bit outdated now, being as it only supports 802.11b, but it's still a good router for home use and you can probably get it quite cheap now.Netgear routers for the most part have the same configuration screens and if you've ever dealt with another Netgear router you'll immediately be familiar with how to configure this one.  Even if you haven't, the router setup has a easy "hand-holding" mode for novices as well as the configuration options for more advanced users.

"Delphi USB 2.0 Lighted Cable"

There's not much that can be done to make a USB cable special.  Because you get them with almost every peripheral even the casual computer user likely has a spare or two, but it's worth investing in some Delphi USB 2.0 Lighted Cables for a variety of reasons.If you are someone who uses 3 or 4 peripherals, you could probably use some color coding to make things easier to identify.  Even if you don't connect every device with a lighted cable, the contrast provided by just having one or two devices lighted can ...

"Targus Chillhub"

The Targus Chillhub is is designed to keep notebooks cooler.  Temperature is an important factor in terms of the lifetime of computer hardware.  Also, poorly ventilated systems and surroundings can cause system instability, crashes, or hardware failure.  The Chillhub is sized just right for 15" laptops.  That said, smaller or larger ones will work fine with it and I use my 17" widescreen with it all the time.  It functions as both a cooler as well as a 4-port USB hub.  There are two fans th...

"APC BE350R Back-UPS 350VA"

The APC BE350R Back-UPS 350VA is one of APC's cheapest uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions, designed mainly for personal usage.  It is 15"x9"x5" and weighs about 10 pounds, relatively small and light for UPSes. When I purchased the BE350R I wasn't looking for much more than a glorified surge protector, so my expectations were not high for it.  The traditional power strips you can buy at discount and general stores claim thay have surge protection, but it's not very strong and if...

The CoolMax HD-360-U2 External Hard Drive Enclosure is a fanless USB 2.0 external enclosure that supports PATA 3.5" hard drives. PATA is synonymous with EIDE, UATA, Parallel ATA, and Ultra ATA.  Any of those drives will work in this enclosure.  SATA drives will NOT work with this.  Don't try using an adapter either, because it'll just make the back of the enclosure hang out.The drive is mounted in a bay, very similar to installing it inside your computer.  Some enclosures don't require you do ...

"Fellowes PowerShredder PS-60"

The Fellowes PowerShredder PS-60 is a great shredder for home or small office usage.  I originally purchased this as a gift for my mother, but after using it at her house I got one for myself.The PowerShredder uses a thin strip cut, thinner than other shredders, but it doesn't do crosscut, so it's not as secure.  That said, for bank statements, credit card applications, etc. this is more than enough security.  It comes with a bin, meaning it's not the type you have to put over a trash can yourself. ...

The Bicycle Automatic Card Shuffler is a battery-powered card shuffler that can shuffle several decks of cards quickly.  This card shuffler is fairly inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.  It requires a 9 Volt battery for operation.  You load half the deck (or decks, for multiple decks) into one side, half into the other, and hold down a button while the cards are shot into the center, one from each side.  A removable tray allows you to take the cards out and begin using them.  It will shuffle large ...

"Sony Fontopia Headphones"

I'm a music nut and I'm always listening to my MP3 player or computer at home or on the go, so headphones are very important but for sound quality and comfort.  My favorite for many years now have been Sony Fontopia headphones.  Despite their official name I consider Fontopias to be earphones or ear buds, as they go inside the ear canal.  They can be found in white or black color varieties, and each set comes with 3 different sized interchangable ear buds for varying ear canal sizes.  The cords also co...

The iAudio U2 1 GB Digital Music Player was the first true MP3 player I bought.  I did a lot of research prior to buying it and I was very pleased with it the entire time I was using it.  The standout features of the iAudio U2 that originally attracted me to it were the long, rechargable, battery life (20 hours), good sized lighted LCD display, small physical size, and no third party software requirement.  The iAudio U2 has 1 GB of storage, FM tuner, and voice recording, all pretty standard features on ...

The Tanita HD372 Pure Geometry Glass Digital Lithium Scale is an effective electronic scale with a larger than average weight capacity.This scale is quite pretty and elegantly designed.  Because it's mostly clear, it will fit in almost any setting, and because it has a glass surface it's very easy to clean unlike some scales with molded plastic surfaces. It has a large blue backlit LCD with very easy to read numbers.  Two batteries are required (and come with it), a lithium ion battery and a 9-Volt battery. &nbs...

The PoGo! AudioRave is one of the earliest combined MP3 player/flash drives.  It has 128MB of storage, is powered by a single AAA battery, and plays both MP3s and WMAs.Nowadays the AudioRave is clearly outdated.  The player is constructed well, the display and backlight are fine, and it shows track information if that's included with the file (ID3 tag).  However, the sound quality of any MP3 player powered by a AAA battery is always going to be poor and the AudioRave is no exception.  Even at the maximum v...
