tripppp

Pros:

The cable has a good lenght and works. It looks and feels good. Price is very good. The connectors are of good quality.

Cons:

The cable is a bit stiff, it could be softer. I guess some people like stiff cables, so that might not be a con for everyone.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very good cable to use for headphones to your computer or your TV. You could also use it for anything else, as long as it has a 3.5mm connector.

Bottomline:

An excellent cable at an excellent price. DX can't be making much money if this is the only item in your order.

Pros:

This cable-coupler is cheap, and it works they way it should.
The internal cables are twinned in pairs so it doesn't slow down the communication speed.

Cons:

There are no cons with this coupler. It works as it should.

Other Thoughts:

The price is right! Less than $2 is what a thing like this should cost, not $9 like the local stores charge. I think it's very good that DX has an assortment of these cheaper computer accessories.
It would be cool if it came in different colours.

Bottomline:

If you have two network cables you want to put together, use this coupler. You can't go wrong!.

Pros:

+ It's cheap
+ It works like it should
+ It comes with a SATA cable (I got a gray on, not read as in the picture)

Cons:

- Driver comes on mini CD, it can be hard to read for some drives. I didn't bother with the CD and downloaded the drivers from the web. Other than that I can't see any cons with this SATA PCI card.

Other Thoughts:

I used this card to reflash the firmware on my Xbox 360 (BenQ VAD6038 drive). The procedure is somewhat cumbersome, but the SATA card did it's part flawlessly.

Bottomline:

This is a cheap SATA PC card. It's very usefull for reflashing the firmware on your Xbox 360 (BenQ VAD6038) DVD drive.

Pros:

+ It looks like a really cute pig!
+ The on-button on the pig's belly is heart-shaped.
+ The price is excellent.
It's quite big and easy to hold.
+ 2 individual LEDs makes this piggy very reliable in terms of LED failure.
+ It has a keychain and is of suitable size to be used as such.

Cons:

+ The AG3 batteries won't last that long. The pig body could easily fit around 3xCR2032 which would last a lot longer, but then it would also be more expensive.
+ The build quality could be better. Out of ~15 ordered, 1 was faulty. I managed to fix it, though.

Other Thoughts:

I'd like to see more animal-shaped keychain lights.

Bottomline:

Very nice piggy light.

Pros:

+ The sound quality in these are great!
+ They are in-ear, so (most of) the noise from the outer world will be lowered.
+ The red colour is really nice.
+ The white cable makes it go nicely with a nice iPod or iPhone, or any other white equipment.
+ You get spare earpieces with them.
+ They come in a very nice plastic-aluminum wrap wich makes you feel certain no one has used them before you. It also makes them look expensive.

Cons:

I can't really think of any cons.

Other Thoughts:

If you don't like in-ear earbuds, this is not the buds for you.

Bottomline:

Cheap and with a really nice sound.

Pros:

+ Small and comact, easy to take with you
+ Runs off inexpensive ad easily obtainable AAA batteries
+ Exact within 0.1g
+ The lid sits tightly with it's magnet, you don't need the pouch if you don't want to use it.
+ The backligt makes the display very easy to read.
+ It has lots of different units to chose from, and it has a tare function.

Cons:

- The pad is a bit small. You can't easily use this scale as your main kithen scale.

Other Thoughts:

I haven't really tested how exact this scale is. I don't own any calibration weights. The scale has a calibration function, but since it didn't come with any such weight, I can't use it.

Bottomline:

This is a cheap, compact and precise scale.

Pros:

+ Cheap price for a six-pack
+ These cloths are quite big! They measure ~ 14x17 cm each.
+ The material is soft and very good to clean your glasses and other optics.
+ Mixed colours
+ They are all individually packed in little plastic baggies, makes it easer too keep them in your pocket and around the house in an orderly fashion.

Cons:

I can't really think of any cons.

Other Thoughts:

I got mostly yellow ones. It would be fun if there where six different colours. Also, One or two of them could be smaller for special use, it would still be a good deal.

Bottomline:

If you need something to clean your glasses, buy this.

Pros:

+ Very simple: Just plug it in and go!
+ Small and convenient
+ Looks "genuine", like it's an original accessory
+ Cheap!

Cons:

- It doesn't have a mic, so you can't use it as a handsfree headset

Other Thoughts:

Out of ~50 bought, one came with the metal connectors assembled mirrored. DX replaced it, though.
This device could be made even smaller by putting the 3.5mm socket right into the multiport connector. Preferably at a 90 degree angle.

Bottomline:

Easy to use, cheap and small. What more can you ask?

Pros:

+ CHEAP! For an even better bargain, buy 3 or more at the same time.

Cons:

- Sony branded, but not genuine Sony
- Performance is not as good as genuine cards (see below for my performance test)

Other Thoughts:

Performance test results, all tests done with HD Tach 3.0.4.0 Quick bench:
All three cards had an average sequential and burst read speed at 6.9 to 7.1 MB/s, CPU usage varied between 6% and 8% and the random access time was 13.6ms.
In comparision, my 4GB Genuine Sandisk Card had an average sequential read speed at 16.0MB/s, burst speed at 16.7 MB/s and a random access time of 1.0ms. CPU usage was at 14%.
Conclusion: These cards are not as fast as genuine cards. However, I still think they are fast enough for use with the PSP without any problems. I think the PSP card reader can't read any faster than 5.0 MB/s.

Bottomline:

This is a great bargain!

Pros:

+ It's very cheap
+ It folds together nicely
+ It has a cool unfolding mechanism
+ It's quite small
+ It comes with a clip so you can fasten it to your book/magazine

Cons:

- The light is too weak, and too focused. When reading you need soft light all over the whole page, not in a circle in the middle. Using a softer, less focused LED would be better.
- The batteries are very small button cells. 2xAAA would have been a much better choise. It would also allow for better light and longer running time.
- The unfolding mechanism is prone to breaking.

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice light to use in "light emergencies", when you have to read in the dark and don't have any other option. A regular flashligt is a much better (and more useful!) choice.

Bottomline:

Compact and cheap, but not that bright.

Pros:

+ The ball is small and convenient to keep with your toiletries
+ The towel is made with acceptable quality
+ The towel can absorb a lot of moisture
+ The packaging withstands water, the compressed ball won't expand if your bag gets wet

Cons:

I can't really think of any cons. Maybe the soccer ball theme is a bit lame.

Other Thoughts:

These are very handy to have around when travelling. Put one with your toiletries in your checked luggage, and one in your carry-on. You never know when you need a small towel to wipe your face, clean up a spilled soda or whatever.

Bottomline:

Cheap, compact towel.

Pros:

- Very bright for the small factor
- Handy as a keychain to carry at all times
- 2 in the pack, you can order another set (or just new batteries) when the first battery runs out
- Batteries can be replaced

Cons:

- Not very cheap, but I guess the super LED:s cost a bit more
- The small ring between the light and the big keyring is very weak. Take it off and pur the big ring directly in the light.
- DX branding makes it impossible to dropship

Other Thoughts:

I guess the extra bright LED will drain the battery faster, but that's something you have to accept.

Bottomline:

This is a really nice, bright keychain light.

Pros:

The beads are not made from plastic. I'm guessing they are made of glass. They can scratch glass.
The strap is elastic, so it's easy to put on.
The box it comes in is really cute and perfect if you want to give the bracelet away as a gift. You could also use it for storage.

Cons:

DX put the SKU sticker directly on the gift box, and when I took it off some of the box coating came with it.

Other Thoughts:

The elastic strap makes it look a bit cheap.

Bottomline:

This is a nice bracelet for someone with moderate wrists. It will fit most girls nicely.

Pros:

- Fits very snugly on both the wii remote and the nunchuck
- Protects from dust, dirt and light smacks
- Once they're on, they stays on

Cons:

- Getting these things on the controllers is a real fight. You have to tug really hard since the silicone rubber makes great friction with the plastic material
- The hole for the nunchuch cord was a bit small, it was cumbersome to get the connector part through.
- There is no was to change batteries with the skin on, you have to take it off to be able to open the battery hatch.

Other Thoughts:

Charge the batteries well before you put the skin on.

Bottomline:

Very nice protection, but it's hard to get on and off.

Pros:

- Uses both sound and light
- Comes with a detachable keychain
- The batteries are exchangeable

Cons:

- The sound signal is not that strong, it would be really hard to hear outdoors when it blows or when there are people around
- It's not that easy to hit the right note to make it go off (check my video)

Other Thoughts:

You can take the electronics out of the casing and put it in other things for a cool effect.

Bottomline:

This is a cheap keychain. Don't trust it too much though. You have to stand quite near the thing when you wissle, otherwise it won't hear you.

Pros:

- Very cheap
- Small and handy, fits in a pack of cigarettes
- Looks cool, just like a cigarette
- Can be refilled

Cons:

- Not very easy to light up, the flint roll tends to stick.
- Not very safe, the gas starts to run as soon as you open the lid.
- A bit flimsy, the lid could break very easy.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very small and handy lighter to keep in your cigarette pack. It's also a cool novelty to show for your friends.

It is somewhat flimsy though, and its not always that easy to light up. Since the gas keeps running I get nervous after a couple of missed beats on the flint. It's probably not really a big risk.

Bottomline:

The price is low, but the quality is also cheap. Get one for yourself, it's fun to have.

Pros:

- Small, but not as small as sku 824
- Focused light
- Possible to switch on
- Comes with a keychain

Cons:

- The switch is very hard to toggle on, you have to give it quite a push. You can easily crack a nail doing this.

Other Thoughts:

I thought this would be about as big as sku 824, but it's a lot bigger. See my uploaded picture for comparision.

Bottomline:

This is a very good mini flashlight, with well focused light. If you want more spread, go with sku 824, they're about as strong.

Pros:

- Cheap
- Long battery life
- Easy to mount holder on bike
- Easy to mount flashlight in bike holder

Cons:

-AAA batteries doesn't last half as long as AA ones, still costs as much.
- The light isn't quite strong enough to light your way
- I'm guessing the bike holder will eventually wear out, it's not made of very strong plastic.

Other Thoughts:

It has a flashing mode

Bottomline:

It's a cheap light for your bike.

Pros:

* Cheap
* Cute
* Great as a gift

Cons:

* The black figurine is slightly bigger than the white on, so they don't fit perfect. They do fit very well, though.
* The cardboard box it comes in looks somewhat cheap.

Bottomline:

This is a cute thing you can have on your table. You can also give it away as a gift.

Pros:

Holds 4 memory stick (pro) duo cards, well protected.

Cons:

The cards are a bit tough to get in place.
The holder is more bulky than it needs to be.
There's no hinge, just soft plastic. It will probably wear out after you've opened and closed the case a couple of thousand times.

Bottomline:

Easy to use, relatively small (could be smaller), keeps your cards secure.

Pros:

The flame gets very hot, while the handle stays cool
Large handle (good for big hands)
Easy to use
Adjustable

Cons:

Not very portable as a cigarette lighter. If you just want a lighter, buy a regular one.

Bottomline:

This is a excellent torch. It can easily melt a hole in a tin can.

Pros:

It's cheap, and it works.

Cons:

There are some cast-leaks on the screws, but they are easily removed with your fingernails, or with a file or a knife.

Other Thoughts:

It's just a splitter cable and it works the way you'd expect it to.

Bottomline:

A cheap cable

Pros:

The main advantage of this glue compared to other super glues is that this glue is dirt cheap, but still makes as strong a seal as any other super glue. Also, it comes in a good, tight bottle with a nice tip that lets you deposit (almost) small enough quantities of glue.

Cons:

The glue is very runny, it's not a gel glue. However, if you make a small enough hole in the tip of the bottle you can still limit the amount that gets out to a reasonable level.

Bottomline:

Cheap glue, and lots of it.

Pros:

These dices are very cheap, and they are also well drilled and painted. The dices are very small, so you could easily carry them in the hundreds in your pocket, if you needed to.

Cons:

Sometimes, the dices can be too small. They are easy to loose. Their size also makes them somewhat hard to handle if you have big hands like I do.

Bottomline:

Don't buy these to use for regular board games. For roleplaying with many dicesa needed, or for other general uses they are great. And they are also very cheap!

Pros:

The main pros of this staples are that it's actually stapless, and that it'd very cheap. The stapless design also makes it somewhat environmentally friendly, and you never risk running out of staples.

Cons:

You have to press harder than you do with a regular stapler. And I can't relly get it to staple good with more than 4 sheets. But that's enough for my usage.

Other Thoughts:

The bottom piece feels kind of flimsy, but I guess that is a part of the design. I'd love to buy a bigger, stronger (hopefully made of metal) version.

Bottomline:

This is a cheap to buy and free to maintain stapless staples. It's somewhat limited since it cant staple more than 4-8 pages.
