If you'd like to handle the installation yourself, there are some required parts you'll need. You can add them to your cart on the next screen.
Free install with sale. USB left dangling.
Customer Rating
4.0
The installation was good and quick enough but he had to leave the USB dangling from the dash. He said he could have added a port for an additional $20. Really? Paid $400 for the radio, made appointment for install 2 weeks in advance and they had to reschedul, install is normally $100, and over $50 for cabling and Metro dash kit and they couldnt clean up the USB so it was driver-accessible? Also I had to do a firmware upgrade to the unit to make the time stay correctly.

Install your aftermarket DIN radio with this installation kit that is compatible with most 2004 - 2009 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. The mount is contoured and textured to blend in with your factory dash for a sleek finish.
Matches nicely. USB port would be nice.

The kit worked well and loojs good installed. The USB from the radio could have used a port option on the kit to prevent having to leave the USB cable dangling.

I bought this as a temporary way to stream audio from my phone while in my car until I had a nice day to repair my car's audio system. While I wouldnt use this as a permanent setup in the car, it worked fine for a temporary fix. I figured if it sounded good and was functional, I would keep it in my office at work after I fixed the car system. I have a Jambox which is similar in operation but this was far less expensive - perfect as a go anywhere speaker. Bottom line - it sounds great, the Bluetooth connectivity is easy to set up and is rock solid. The price was fair enough, and it lasted a few hours per charge.

This is a great gaming mouse, but it works well for other applications where you might need to switch to a more precise dpi temporarily for doing detail work, then back to high dpi to move more quickly. This mouse has a special "sniper" button just for that.
You will want to use a hard mouse pad rather than a foam model, as there are two points that hang out just enough to catch on fabric pads. You can do that or you could gently file the points down as they are only part of the decorative shroud over the buttons.

These are excellent, inexpensive HDMI cables to connect from a device to a switch box (how I am using them) or to another nearby device - like from a set top box to an XBox One.
No problems with image or sound quality.

These were cheap enough to make me double check them on the shelf tag! They are of good quality, are thin and are suitable for my 4K Nvidia Shield. I bought extras to keep on hand and to share with others. I should note that if looking for these online for pickup in the store, the web site says they aren't available in stock anywhere within 250 miles of my location. This was simply not true. I pulled them off the shelf. I tried ordering these online at Thanksgiving and again, the last week of December. Best Buy online insisted they weren't available and could not be shipped because they were out of stock. Luckily, I'd spotted them on a rack by customer service - not with the rest of the costlier HDMI cables.

These ethernet cables were of good quality and work well. The snagless cover is easier to operate than some full boot covers, but is of good quality and does its job. They cost a bit more than other online sources, but I paid the extra price for the convenience of having them right away.

I purchased this computer at Best Buy in Chesapeake. Some stores are thin on stock, but Chesapeake seems to be one of the better locations for stock on hand.
This has better specs than my 4 year old MacBook Pro (naturally), but didn't cost nearly as much. I found the value to be outstanding, and have been able to play GTA V, Fallout 4, Minecraft, etc. on the highest settings possible without issue. Running directly from the desktop, through Steam, or GOG was no problem.

Note: Best Buy has this in the 1080p configuration. Other sources have it in higher resolutions, but I found 1080p to be just fine for my needs. You can still use an external 4K display.
Pros:
Latest Intel Mobile Processors
Nvidia GTX 1060 discreet graphics that are similar to the desktop equivalent of the next version down.
Keys are full sized and spaced for comfort.
Backlighting on keys are nice - took a little experimentation to figure out.
SSD for OS and HDD for data works great!

Cons:
Fan has a little buzzing. I didn't return the unit because it wasn't really bad, and I could adjust the fan speed to get rid of the buzz. It would buzz at lower processor speeds and the fan was running slower, but if I was really working the graphics or manually increased the fan speed, it went away. It is the rightmost fan of the three, as you look at the keyboard.
Took a while to update Windows 10 because it had been on the shelf for a while.
Battery life could be a little better, but hey, it's a gaming laptop.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The price was acceptable, although, I would have been smart to bring along a quote from other vendors who offered it at a $50 discount.

Satellite cable male do they make a female cable that base a hdmi on end of it
They do make extension cables with male on one end and female on the other and they do make couplers with female on both ends to connect two cables together, but you are far better off getting a cable long enough to do the job without adding a coupler or extension. This is because of possible signal loss with each coupler or extension you add. There will also be a limit on the length cable you can use with HDMI before you would need to add a signal booster. The cables listed in the review are great for going from one device to another a short distance from each other, or to use with an HDMI switch.

ASUS - ROG Rapture AC5300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router - Black
Increase network speed with this Asus ROG Rapture router. It has a front-line security system to keep the network traffic protected and eight external antennas for extra-strong signals. Plug computers and other devices directly into this Asus ROG Rapture router via its eight Gigabit LAN ports for rapid 4K streaming.
Do I need a modem with this Router?
Yes, you will need to purchase a separate modem that is approved by your Internet service provider. I bought a modem from Best Buy when I bought this router and have been satisfied with both. With the savings of not leasing from my ISP, both units will be paid off within the course of my service contract. Both units are better than anything the ISP offered to lease.
This router easily found the modem and was easy to set up.
