Good value for a basic radio if you do not need bluetooth. But does require a lot of extra expensive components to complete the installation running up the cost significantly.

The rugged, open land of North Africa has definitely put your sniping skills to the test since you've been here. You've trekked across treacherous mountain ranges, sought cover in sprawling, easily visible flatlands and discreetly made your way through bustling cities and secluded villages. You've been following your target for days, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Finally, after a week of relentless pursuit, you spot your target briefly enjoying the evening air on a veranda. Without a moment of hesitation, you align your barrel and squeeze the trigger, eliminating your target with one well-placed, well-timed shot. Your target soundlessly slips to the floor, and just as soundlessly, you make a quick exit.Set during WWII in North Africa, Sniper Elite III lets you play as American OSS agent, Karl Fairburne. Your mission? ~ provide a helping hand to the Allied forces, drawing from your wealth of sharpshooting knowledge and experience to assist them in whatever way possible. After uncovering a secret tank program that could swiftly destroy any Allied force if it comes to fruition, you must use all of your sniping intelligence and skills to take out the enemy ~ shot by shot. Roam the varied North African battlefield on nonlinear routes that offer visual diversity as well as gameplay variation, allowing you to engage enemies in a wide range of open and close-knit environments. Use shadows and the darkness of night to remain unseen by the Afrika Korps for optimal stealth. Plan relocation tactics that suit your mission's particular needs as well as your own unique sniping style by searching the landscape and discovering nests, ambush locations and more. Lie in wait for the Afrika Korps' vehicles and then unleash havoc with the vehicle kill-cam, which lets you take out entire vehicular crews and blow up vehicles' gas tanks with just one shot. Unlock more than 40 new customization parts as you progress through the game, so you can build a high-tech rifle, improve your character and more. Intelligently decide how to deal with both long-range and short-range combat missions based on detailed feedback. Engage in either co-op or competitive multiplayer modes, which allow you to work together or fight against your friends. Make sure your breath is shallow and your fingers steady before you squeeze the trigger in Sniper Elite III: Afrika.

Challenging and Fun

This is a very fun and challenging game to play. Graphics are very good and I enjoy the open play environment where you have to figure out where to go instead of following a leader.
I did get tired of the graphic video showing the bullets hitting and tearing apart the enemy. Not that I am squimish, it just takes a lot of play time waiting for it to complete.

Good for the price but not great

For the price this is a good BASIC alarm and Best Buy did a fast clean installation.
I took one star away because the included "siren" is not as loud as I would like. It also does not sound the vehicle horn. And I believe it turns off after 3 minutes.

Fundamentally this is a good external drive that works well. However understand that it is BIG compared to other models with fewer features or capability. So if you need to burn higher capacity DVD's at high speed, this is a excellent choice. However, if you only need an external drive to load programs or files onto you device that no longer has a CD/DVD drive included and you want to throw it in your bag, take a look at a lower cost simpler drive.

I bought this just to keep up with the latest versions and have been disappointed in that there just do not seem to be any advantages over the prior version, Office 2010. So why spend the money until Microsoft holds a gun to your head by not supporting Office 2010?

Tower unit on its side?

I'm planning to use this 1500 tower style battery back up in my entertainment cabinet. Can I use the tower unit if is it laying on its side instead of standing up?
I did not check the manual but I would be very careful because it has a battery inside and all batteries have acid in them. Even if the top is sealed completely on the battery I would worry that over time it could develop a leak. Best case would be to contact the manufacturer and ask this question.

I have 1 desktop computer and an iPad,lots of pics and lots of music. What back up system would you recommend ?

This one should have more than enough capacity. Add up the amp rating for each device and multiply it times 120 Volts to determine the load. Or if you have the wattage simply add that up. A watt - 1 Amp x 1 Volt.

I have a projector that pulls 14 amps would this ups work or would I need another one?

I would not recommend this one. The rating is 1500 volt-amps. If you have a 14 amp device running on 120 volt power you are pulling 1680 volt-amps (14 x 120) which is over the rating. Having said that, does your projector actually pull 14 amps or is that the rating? In any case, to be safe I would buy a higher capacity unit.
