Fujitsu Siemens 1TB USB 2.0 External DeskTop Hard Drive
This is a great drive for a desktop for a PC. It is really quiet (almost silent) and works really well.
If you have a Mac though I'd suggest you look for something else with a Firewire 400 or Firewire 800 connection as the difference in transfer speed means that if you are used to Firewire - USB2.0 seems really slow, particularly if you are using it with Time Machine to do backups or restores. It's really noticable when performing Aperture vault updates. To be fair, it doesn't claim to be anything other than a USB 2.0 drive and it does that job brilliantly, just trying to point Mac users to better alternatives.

I bought this printer as a Epsom replacement, However I did have problems setting it up as the references were not clear. However, my son managed to complete the task and it all works, so I am very pleased. It is much better than a man as it can multitask, but it is evident that a man wrote the instructions. Perhaps Epsom could employ someone with no IT skills to write their manuals and test them. On the important note, the printer/fax/scanner is fast and efficient and would strongly recommend this product.

This monitor has got to be one of the best bargains i've ever bought. I took the plunge after weeks of trawling the net looking for a replacement for my old silver flat screen monitor.
Never mind Specsavers i should've gone to Amazon.
After reading the reviews on here i decided to take the plunge and ordered this late Friday afternoon and by Saturday lunchtime i had it out of the box and up and running with the minimum of fuss - a surprisingly easy set-up which took only minutes. I instantly loved the whole look of it. Black, shiny and slim and takes up much less room on my desk, it just sits there looking gorgeous and expensive!
The screen is perfectly clear and bright, and no dead pixels either. I've got used to looking ... Read More:

I've had this a couple of weeks now, and at first it felt a bit strange as the buttons are slightly further apart from normal MS optical mice that I use, but actually when I use it, I don't notice. It works very well and I would happily recommend it.

This hard disk drive is not much bigger than a mobile phone - 12.6cm x 7.9cm x 1.5cm - and holds a whopping 250Gb.
This makes is the perfect back-up drive that you can take with you. I carry mine in my laptop bag, so that should my laptop hard disk fail I have all my data with me and can still work. Assuming I can borrow a PC or laptop that is.
At home it can sit in a drawer and, if you want to pop round a friends house and share some tunes, it will sit in your pocket without causing an embarrassing bulge.
I have been using Western Digital for years and have never had any technical problems - I simply upgrade for capacity.
The one negative is the bundled sync software. It's a dog and is best avoided. Search for syncback ... Read More:

Well, frustratingly enough after under a year of use, mine has given up the ghost, I wish I had paid more attention to similar stories when I was making the purchasing decision, I just took the old, 'it won't happen to me', mentality, it didn't pay off.
We'll start with some positive points, yes, it is very attractive, the design is sleek, and it matches all the aluminium Mac products, (read: all but the white MacBook currently).
Also, it is very quiet, and the speed over FW800, (which I was using with a MacBook Pro), is bleedingly fast.
However, all this is good and well, but not when the product stops working. My problem is as follows, I noticed one night that it was starting up repeatedly, on it's own, attached to the MBP, but that ... Read More:

I just recieved mine today and first impressions is that it is an attractive camera. The pictures are clear. But the camera itself is quite difficult to use as theres so many functions. Not having a black and white setting is a bit of a let down but you can easily download picasa 2 on google n edit your images on there. Its small enough to fit in your pocket or bag and is great for taking pictures with your friends. i suggest buying a 2GB memory card for it as they are so cheap now.
Its a really good buy and an excellent value for money, when i told everyone how cheap it wsa they were astonished. My dad bought a camera that was atleast twice as expensive and the only difference is that his is a bit thinner.
If your like me and just looking for a digital camera ... Read More:
