This cable is high quality and works great! Longer cables tend to be overly bulky, but this one still has sleek ends. I approve!

sturdy protection, but poor seal
on May 22, 2018
Posted by: thedalaipython
from Cedar Rapids, IA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality of the screen protector itself was great. Even though it's not advertised as anti-glare, it's not as reflective as I had feared. The biggest problem, though, is that with the curved edges on the iPhone 8 screen this screen protector doesn't sit flush at the edges. Also, as it's nearly the exact width of the display (not the whole front), there was a weird chromatic lensing/aberration effect along the side edges. I ended up replacing it with a different screen protector entirely.

worthwhile investment

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to add extra monitor capability to my laptop and to have a single place to plug my keyboard and mouse in when my laptop is at my desk. It does just that. Both the VGA and HDMI ports can be used simultaneously, which is great, but when both were plugged in the monitor plugged into the HDMI port wouldn't go to sleep all the way. Otherwise, it works great!

this mouse is AWESOME
on July 21, 2016
Posted by: thedalaipython
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this mouse! I needed a replacement for my old MX-518 (which isn't available anymore), and the G502 Proteus blows that old model out of the water! The overall shape of the mouse is pretty much the same as the MX-510/518 models, so it's very comfortable for a right-handed gamer. The ability to change the middle wheel from a click wheel to a free-spinning wheel is very useful. The customizable lighting is gorgeous. The ability to change DPI settings on the fly is awesome, and having a temporary "shift" button is even cooler! I love this mouse!

fun action shoot-'em-up!
on June 20, 2016
Posted by: thedalaipython
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for a fun "guy movie" with lots of action, this is it! Some of the special effects are obviously CGI, and the writing isn't Shakespeare, but that's not the point. At face value, as an over-the-top action-fest, Olympus Has Fallen does what it was intended to do: take the viewer on a non-stop thrill ride with copious amounts of gun play and action. (Did I mention that there's action..?)

Anywhere MX for the win!
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: thedalaipython
Verified Purchase:Yes
This mouse is simply the best wireless mouse I've ever used. After working in the computer industry for as long as I have (and being an enthusiast since I was a little kid), I have use a LOT of mice. The Anywhere MX works on EVERY surface I've come across, exactly as advertised. Not only does it perform, it feels great in the hand too. It feels solid, but not overly heavy. And the battery life is great. Overall, I think Logitech knocked it out the park on this one!

Easily add USB 3.0 functionality to your PC with this Insignia™ NS-PCCUP53 PCI Express interface card that offers data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps per port and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices for flexibility.
 

Will this work in a Dell xps 8300

I want to get an external WD hard drive from BBuy but want the faster transfer speeds of the 3.0 usb. So, am looking at options to do this. I don't know much about poking around inside a computer so it will have to be simple. . . as in SIMPLE. Thanks.
Yes, the USB 3.0 card should work just fine. I checked the specs on the Dell XPS 8300 line, and you should have a couple of free PCI Express slots. You'll need to open the case, remove one of the back slot covers, insert the card, and connect a free floppy disk power line from the power supply to the card. I didn't have to install any drivers when I did it for mine, but they include a driver disc just in case you need to.

Refer to page 37 of the Dell XPS maintenance manual if you need official guidance on installing PCI Express cards here:
