This keyboard is fantastic. The colors are awesome, the keys feel fantastic, the macros even better. The only downside is the price... yikes.

Good, but could be better
on December 30, 2014
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
First let me start off by saying I don't hate this case, but there are some issues that would make me choose differently next time. First, the buttons for the volume and on / off switch are WAY to stiff. I've had it for about 2 months now and it still hasn't broken in. Secondly, the cover is not magnetic, so it does not turn the iPad on or off when you open / close it. Third, the material that makes up the hinge (it's just part of the cover, but I didn't know how to describe it better) is a little to weak to hold it straight. As a result the cover doesn't sit quite flush or lined up exact with the iPad. However, the closure / flap helps keep it held down fine. Outside of those issues, the case is acceptable for the price, etc.

Great Price for a portable HD
on November 22, 2014
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
The size, portability, and price make this a must have item. This is a usb 3.0 device with a subcompact size hard drive inside. The only thing not clear about the product is the spin speed. Most HD's designed for notebooks only spin at 5400, so most likely this does too. However, it works well enough to handle all of your storage needs.

Best iPad yet
on November 4, 2014
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are upgrading from the iPad Air (iPad version 5) you might want to consider waiting to upgrade. However, if you're upgrading from anything prior, you can't go wrong. This is hands down the lightest, fastest, and all around best iPad yet. One thing to consider when purchasing this iPad is that there aren't too many covers available yet. This thing NEEDS a cover. One slight drop on a hard surface and it and ding up fairly good. The Apple cover is WAY over priced and there aren't that many options out there right now for covers. With that said, this is a review about the iPad itself, and having said that you really can't go wrong with the iPad Air 2.

Great sounding speakers
on July 6, 2013
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bose has always been the go to for great sounding speakers in small packages. These speakers are no exception. They are compact, which is a plus for those with limited desk space. Plus, they sound fantastic. My only complaint is that they don't connect using digital. It's analog only folks (RCA). Which isn't the best / easiest way to connect. Also, I don't know if I am having issues with my sound card or the wiring for the speakers. But every now and again, I am picking up strange feedback on the speakers. The only way that I can fix this is by unplugging them from my computer and plugging them back in. Personally, I think it's the wiring picking up something, considering how much stuff is near it. A digital connector or shielded analog cables would have solved that issue, but oh well. Still, these are outstanding speakers.

Great monitor for all purpose usage
on July 6, 2013
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
This monitor has great detail for gaming, every day use and is super easy to use. I have had the monitor for about 2 months now and I love the size of the screen. Text is not the sharpest I have seen using other screens, but it will still be sufficient for most users. The slim bezel makes the monitor attractive and the stand has nice wire conduits so they don't stick out all over the place.

Wireless for legacy Xbox 360

Verified Purchase:Yes
While not the cheapest route to take for getting wireless to your legacy Xbox 360, it can certainly can be argued that it's the easiest. This device is a necessity for older Xbox 360's that are too far away for wired internet access. It's super easy to install and connect to most Wi-Fi setups.

Great stand for gaming consoles
on July 5, 2013
Posted by: DSTalon
from Los Angeles
Verified Purchase:Yes
This stand is great for areas where space is an issue. It's compact and doesn't stick out too far from the wall. It seems sturdy and the glass sits securely. My only complaint is that the provided TV rack is difficult, if not impossible to mount in certain height settings. This can be overcome by some slight tweaking or changing the desired height slightly.

Can you use this modem with DSL

Can this be used with DSL service, or does it have to be used with a cable service provider?
I do not believe so, because DSL uses your copper telephone lines. This is coaxial so I don't think you can hook it up. Best thing to do is check with your internet provider to see what modems are compatible.

Is it only available in White?

I can't say for 100% for certain, but it's the only color I have ever seen it in and I did a lot of research.

I am looking for a TV stand for a 55" sony HD tv, that

will swivel, tilt, and pivot,
esp. the pivot part, that allows the landscape view or rotate the tv 90 degrees for the portrait view (pivot)
This will swivel, tilt, pivot and raise up and down, but it does not move 90 degrees. Probably won't swivel more the 20 degrees in either direction (I do not know the exact angles. I will say this however, this stand is great with only one flaw. Mounting the brackets to the back of the TV and then placing them on the stand is a pain. The designers placed the bracket mounts in the way of the bolts so it's hard to tighten the bottom bolts. However, it's still doable and otherwise makes a great stand.

what is the size of the end legs that sit on floor

What is the size of the end legs that sit on floor? model BBXLO2250BS
Can you be more specific about which dimensions you're looking for? The diameter of the legs measures approx 2 1/2 inches and the base depth (from the back to the front) is about 1 1/2 feet (or 18 inches).
