works great

Tritton TRI-BH102 AX BlueStream - Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Tritton TRI-BH102 AX BlueStream - Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Pros: Small form factor, excellent sound quality, range is approx. 30 feet when paired with my Zoom 4312-A bluetooth PCMCIA card in my laptop.

Cons: Should have ordered it a week ago.

Overall Review: If I could manage to criticize the sound quality, I would here. However, after three hours of testing I cannot distinguish the sound quality between this device and direct headphones with 160kbps mp3's. The range is excellent, and the design is very clean. Like another reviewer said, I haven't seen Tritton electronic products before, but will watch for future releases. Note: the sound through my Treo 700wx is mediocre due to the poor implementation of Bluetooth audio in the 700wx. In contrast, the Tritton wireless headset is great.

Perfect

HyperX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model KHX16LS9P1K2/16
HyperX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model KHX16LS9P1K2/16

Pros: Works perfectly in Thinkpad T520 4239CTO motherboard (SandyBridge) thus far after 1 week uptime. All 16 GB are running Dual Channel 800 MHz at CL 8, 1.28 V according to CPU-Z.

Cons: Not free

Overall Review: Glad to see all 16 GB work at full speed in a Thinkpad T520 which a few years old now.

OK

Intel S1200BTLR ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1155 Intel C204 DDR3 ECC UDIMM 1066/1333/1600/1333LV
Intel S1200BTLR ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1155 Intel C204 DDR3 ECC UDIMM 1066/1333/1600/1333LV

Pros: BIOS supports E2 v2 out of box, unlike current SuperMicro options (2012.11.10), IPMI, 1600 ECC

Cons: Just discovered fan throttling is NOT supported with standard ATX cases. From the manual (G167972-004_S1200BT_SERVICEGUIDE.PDF), page 28: “Auto” Fan Control is intended to support standard EPSD chassis options. “Manual” Fan Control is intended to support third-party chassis installations. Given that heat management is a core pillar of server management, I find this wholly unacceptable. This is my first and last Intel Server motherboard as a result.

Overall Review: no fan throttling for off-the shelf ATX cases.

works with my FW DAW

Rosewill TI 2 Ports IEEE 1394a 6-pin ExpressCard Model RC-612
Rosewill TI 2 Ports IEEE 1394a 6-pin ExpressCard Model RC-612

Pros: Works great with my Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 DSP in Windows XP SP2 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X200. Saw another review claiming difficulties with a 'real' FW audio interface. Posting to advise it works with mine.

Cons: Can't hot-swap in my Lenovo Thinkpad X200. Win XP doesn't properly allocate resources and the card is only recognized after a reboot after insertion. Fine with me though, I blame Windows not Rosewill for the problem.

Overall Review: Thanks, newegg, for another good deal. I've spent plenty a kilobuck here :)

looks great!

Pros: looks great, no dead pixels.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I have used this LCD all day to test before installing for a client. The price/performance seems optimal to me (thanks newegg!) and it looks great-- I am back to order one for myself.

works

SYBA Sky Basic USB VoIP Phone
SYBA Sky Basic USB VoIP Phone

Pros: cheap, works as advertised.

Cons: cheap

Overall Review: For the fine price offered by Newegg, this phone works great. Of course this is currently the cheapest available deal on the internet for a USB phone, so expectations should be commensurate with the purchase price. I'd recommend this phone for anybody looking for a cheap USB phone that works.
