so i ordered some pretty random stuff off the site. [FONT='PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif']1. Black Rotary USB Flash Memory Drive U Disk 2G http://www.budgetgadgets.com/-p-1178.html 2. USB Folding Cooling Cooler Pad Fan for Laptop Notebook XL-818 http://www.budgetgadgets.com/-p-3455.html 3. Traveller 6 in 1 USB Computer Data Cable Adapter Kit http://www.budgetgadgets.com/-p-3617.html 4. Desktop 7 Color Change Digital LED LCD Alarm Clock+Thermometer http://www.budgetgadgets.com/-p-3969.html Ordered Nov26, received in Calgary Dec13. Not bad for free shipping. The usb drive i didn't expect to have problems. I mean really it's pretty hard to screw up. And i got what i expected. No problems with it whatsoever. I actually like the look and how it doesn't have some brand name logo on it. My favorite is that i'll never lose the cap. The only bad is that it didn't come nicely packaged so not a very good gift idea. The cooling pad is something i've been meaning to buy because i torrent on my laptop. Yes i know it's bad to leave a laptop running but i'm still in the process of purchasing a desktop. Anyways, i like how it has a passthrough plug so it really doesn't take up one of your ports. I've tested it and the passthrough does work. The cooling pad itself is still rather compact even when expanded so i did have some difficulty balancing my 12.1" laptop on it until i realized i don't have to have the legs completely open. **stupid**. i tried it on my 15.4" HP with the expanded battery and with the battery it levels the laptop out. I have yet to crunch temperature numbers and how effective it is. The retractable cable comes with 6 attachments. The retractable part itself is an extension cable. About 3 ft. long. Attachemtns include USBA, USBB, Mini-A, Mini-B, firewire, and mini-firewire. works like a charm and i can use it to charge my ipod (through i-trip bypass) in the car. The clock came nicely packaged. It has some pretty annoying music, like your watch beeping but just different pitches so it sounds like music. Includes happy birthday and some stuff i can't name / never heard of. You can set it to continuous glow (the colors cycle, you don't have a choice), no glow, or tap and glow (you tap the LCD to go to different fuctions. On tap/glow you tap once of on and then you tap again to get to functions). There's a "return to time" function so that you can tap to temperature and a few seconds later it'll always go back to time. I don't think you set the calendar to DDMM instead of MMDD which i'm sure annoys someone somewhere. The timer is MMSS. Thermometer shows C and F. Relatively accurate. I should go put it in my car and see if it'll show in -40 temperature here in calgary haha. Overall the build quality on these products are not bad. They do feel a little cheap but that's expected for the price. Give the site a thumbs up for the value of their products. [/FONT]
