Protect your office or entertainment equipment with this CyberPower LX1500GU 1500VA battery back-up system, which enables safe shutdown in the event of a power failure and features AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to provide consistent power levels.

I have always use surge protectors for all my electronics, but recently my Power company has been having contestant short power outages, never lasting more than a few seconds, but enough to obviously reboot my computer and has recently caused several HDD corruption issues..
I finally got sick of it and invested in a UPS.. I wasn't sure how many VA's I would need but I wanted it to run for at least 10 minutes with out power.
This unit powers my Quad Core desktop, 32" LCD TV/Monitor, All-In-One Printer and several USB peripherals plugged in to the computer for ~60 minutes.
I love that it also "cleans" the power as it comes in, so if the power sags or spikes it filters that out before going to anything plugged into the device. It also communicates with software on the computer via USB and can shut the computer down when the battery is getting low. This is a wonderful feature as If you are not home and have a massive power outage, it will take care of it for you.
It's money well spent, data recovery is VERY expensive and protecting your electronics from power issues is the best way to prevent data corruption on your computer.

Use this Klipsch ProMedia 3-piece speaker system to enjoy brilliant sound when playing games, listening to music or watching videos on your computer.

I have Klipsch Home Theater speakers and these Computer Speakers are every bit as good sounding. Of course they are only going to sound as good as the source supplying them, so If you have a cheap sound card and a low quality MP3, don't expect the speakers to perform miracles!
My ONLY real complaint with these speakers, is that there is very little volume control between "Can't Hear It!" & "Wake The Neighbors!". They get VERY loud even on the lower volume settings.. That's easily fixable by using your computer's volume in conjunction.
Overall, the BEST computer speakers on the market!

What's great about it: Best Sound Quality Available, Good Price.
What's not so great: There's Not Much Volume Controll Between "Can't Hear It" & "Wake The Neighbors!"

I bought this 28" LED LCD TV to use as a Computer monitor. At $179, It's less than 1/2 the price of a 28" computer monitor!
It works fine, the colors are not quite as vivid/crisp as a computer monitor, but for every day computer/internet use it's perfectly fine, if you were a hardcore gamer or graphic artist you may want to spring for the $400-$600 monitor..
I haven't used it as a TV so I can't comment on that aspect, thought I have other Insignia TV's and they work great. Insignia is definitely better than Dynex TV's..
For the Price they are very high quality. Someone on a budget that want's a quality product, I would have no problem recommending an Insignia TV.

I use it in...:Small home
I have used Linksys & Netgear routers for over 15 years. In the last 5-10 years their quality and reliability has gotten worse and worse. I originally bought the Linksys EA3500-NP router, every time I would enable the 5GHz band my legacy WiFi devices would loose network connectiviety. Linksys's solution, "Just Disable 5GHz band" **Then why have a Dual Band router!?!?**.
Anyway! I bought this router instead **This is actually the router I wanted to buy in the first place but my local BestBuy didn't stock it, I ended up going to a BestBuy in a bigger town which stocked it!**. Took me about 2 minutes and I had the router up and running on all 8 cylinders! It's Super fast, extremely reliable, and it has external antenna's *Which are MUCH better than Internal antenna's*.
I don't have anything bad to say about this router. The web interface may be a bit difficult for a non-tech savvy person, but for the most part, I'm pretty sure most anyone could figure it out.

What's great about it: It's less expensive than anything else in it's class, yet it work better than Netgear & Linksys routers!
What's not so great: Nothing!

Print bright, vivid, long-lasting photos with the Kodak color ink cartridge, 10C, a convenient 5-ink color cartridge. Saving money on ink doesn't mean compromising on quality. With Kodak proprietary pigment ink technology, there is no compromising. You get the vibrancy of dye-based inks and the longevity of pigment-based for a high-quality solution at an affordable price.

Cheapest Ink in the industry

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's Ink! It Prints! The only bad thing really is that it doesn't seem to last very long, however it's a lot cheaper that other brands of ink, so it works out.
