Great fun from a Sci-Fi Parody Film
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: howkj1
from Ames, IA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spaceballs is a fantastic film for Sci-Fi / Fantasy lovers' collection. It is mostly comedy with puns best understood by people who are familiar with other flix (especially Star Wars IV,V,VI).
Pros:
This DVD version was from the bargain bin, and as such is quite a good deal. Quality was superb compared to the original VHS releases.
Cons:
Though, true collectors/fans should probably opt for the Blu-Ray edition. There is also a Mel Brooks film collection Blu-Ray that includes Spaceballs as well as other classics such as Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood: Men in Tights that would be a better deal if pursuing some of the other films.

Works as expected
on February 16, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
The HDMI-DVI adapter works as expected. Good for connecting an HDMI monitor to a DVI graphics card or vice-versa. The female HDMI port lets you use an existing (not included) HDMI cable.
Cons:
Careful not to spend too much on this part as it is simply a passive adapter. Do your research first.
Fairly bulky adapter.

Great Star Wars Side Story
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: howkj1
from Ames, IA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality, feel, and content stays true to its Star Wars roots. The only gripe is some of the pacing during the middle of the film is too expositional and slow. The movie felt a bit long compared to its siblings/parents but was definitely an adventure worth experiencing multiple times over.

The HDMI to VGA Video Adapter Converter with Audio allows you to connect the HDMI output from your laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Blue ray DVD, Digital set-top box, Player, Digital camera , Video camera or Gaming console equipment to the VGA input of a monitor or projector by converting the HDMI video signal from the output device into a VGA output and separate 2-channel analog audio. The adapter supports resolutions including high definition 1080p, up to 1920x1200, which eliminates the expense of upgrading a VGA display for the sake of compatibility. The Adapter can also increase your productivity by extending your computer's desktop onto a secondary monitor, doubling available workspace.

Audio Out is Nice

The Audio out makes this adapter nice. This adapter helps those VGA monitors that are still good be usable with new technology.

It works well. The only downside is that only one side has battery backup.

Great backup / storage drive
on June 21, 2013
Posted by: howkj1
from Ames, IA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This drive works great for storage and works well in the Synology DS411slim NAS. The drives work as expected and were in no-fuss packaging to make it easy to get to to install.
The price is still a bit more than the comparable 3.5" drives of the same size and the speed is not meant for high performance applications like gaming and video editing directly from the drive unless you are ok with a little bit of load time. The drives are still fantastic for storage and general data use where latency is not an issue.

What's not so great: still pricey compared to 3.5" drives of same size
