Update to previous.

BUFFALO AirStation Extreme AC 1750 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-1750DHP
BUFFALO AirStation Extreme AC 1750 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-1750DHP

Pros: GUI is nice and very easily navigable to a newby. Handles 8+ wireless devices nicely and 2 wired as well. All in all this thing is fast both on the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz N bands, No hiccups with this Update.

Cons: None Be Sure To Update To 2.13

Overall Review: After trial and error I waited for a newer firmware version to come out ( 2.13 ) and this Update really fixed some issues. Though it will still not transmit AC it is still fast on the N band. All in all, it is still a pretty new router (i think) and as more Firmware updates come, it gets better.

Terrible

Intel 7260HMWDTX1 Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 PCIe plus Bluetooth 4.0 AC1200 Wireless adapters

Pros: Was good at first.

Cons: This thing has been constantly dropping connections on both the 2.4/5.0 GHz bands every hour. At first I thought it was the router, but I tested it on my older router, same issues. Even with uninstalling drivers completely and from registry. And yhen reinstalling with only the latest, but same issues. And it also will NOT pick up AC whatsoever. Drivers are not the best, even the newest from Intel. .

Perfect

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card GV-N470UD-13I

Pros: Was very weary of buying a refurbed item, but saw this for $80 and couldn't resist. Bought it, received in two days. The packaging was almost I think brand new. Everything came with the card except for a driver CD which may or may not have been in the original packaging. This may have just been an open box. It looked brand spankin new, it even had a plastic peel sticker on the fan still. Plugged it in and voila, works perfectly out of box with latest drivers from Nvidia. I will be using this as a budget, older parts, performance PC. This will be stored until I get the parts to complete the build for a family member. End build... Core2Quad Q9400 2.66Ghz $35 shipped (other site) 8GBDDR3 Ram $50 shipped (same as other site) GTX 470 $80 Newegg!! 120gb SSD 1TB storage HDD The usual... All for less than $300

Cons: RUNS REALLY HOT! Idles at 70*C, and hits 99*c easy with mild gameplay. Going to be getting an aftermarket cooler, it's unbearable to hear those blower fans again... Coming from a GTX 680... that now has an aftermarket silent cooler that never hits 50*c. Will be getting that same cooler for this 470.

Overall Review: Definitely worth the money, and the risk. First time buying a refurbed item and was not disappointed, thanks again Newegg for amazing deals as the usual :D

Don't get. Unless you want to replace it in 3-7 months

Seiki 40" 1080p 60Hz LED TV - SE40FY27
Seiki 40" 1080p 60Hz LED TV - SE40FY27

Pros: At first, this was a great deal. The picture is outstanding (After adjustments of course) and the sound I thought was good enough for me, since I have never really used any good sound systems, it was good. It has been outstanding for the past 7 months, mild gaming, movies here and there..... Until now.

Cons: The picture just flat out stopped showing. I still get audio through the speakers (HDMI), just no image/video, nothin'. When I mean no video, you can't even see the Menus pop-up for the T.V. I barely even used the T.V. in the 7 months I have owned it, maybe 1-10 hours a week at most.

Overall Review: Steer clear of this T.V. and pay a little more for a more reputable/reliable brand. From what I've heard Seiki Customer service is junk. Hopefully the RMA process goes well.... or im out $260...

Pretty good!

AOC 52 Series e2752She Glossy Black 27" HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Slim Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR 20,000,000:1
AOC 52 Series e2752She Glossy Black 27" HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Slim Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR 20,000,000:1

Pros: This monitor does have good crisp imaging. 1080p is a plus as always. Dual HDMI's is nice. Got it for only $150! For the price i got it for, it is a pretty good monitor. upgrade from a nice 21", but decided it's time for a larger monitor, and got this for a steal during the black friday deals. Came with 0 dead pixels. Luminance equal all around.

Cons: The colors arent the greatest coming from a 21" excellently colored monitor. REALLY have to mess with setting to get it to be somewhat similar to the old 21"er.

Overall Review: Overall, I'd recommend it. Just not at full retail $300. This monitor I think is worth a good $200-$240.

Whats up with RAM prices?!!

Wintec One 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 3OH16009U9H-8GK

Pros: These have been running rock solid since summer of 2012, The heatsinks didn't move a budge when I got them and are still intact. Good speeds, and keeps nice and cool. And I got em for $43!

Cons: $90 freaking dollars for 8gb? WTH? Giving 4 eggs for ridiculous price rise in memory.
