Most Favorable Review

Very good!

AllComponents 256MB 144-Pin SO-DIMM PC 100 Laptop Memory Model ACSO100X64/256
AllComponents 256MB 144-Pin SO-DIMM PC 100 Laptop Memory Model ACSO100X64/256

Pros: Worked in my Dell Latitude C600. I picked up two of these (2x256 = 512) and a new hard drive (from NewEgg) at the same time and it feels like I got a new laptop.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

No cable for HDTV means NO!

Visiontek Radeon HD 4650 SFF 1GB DDR2 DMS59 (2 x DVI-I, TV Out) w/ 2 x DVI-I to VGA Adapter, 900275
Visiontek Radeon HD 4650 SFF 1GB DDR2 DMS59 (2 x DVI-I, TV Out) w/ 2 x DVI-I to VGA Adapter, 900275

Pros: Works as video card. Does help my tired workstation get a little better speed/performance by putting one monitor on the onboard video card also ATI chipset and one on the new card.

Cons: Bought this specifically for the HDTV out. I realize it says it didn't come with it. Searched everwhere for an adapter found one for another card which kind of works in you switch two of the red/blue/green cables. But has no red in the picture. I tried to rewire it but the needed pin is not being fed to the adapter. I don't want to take the card apart. Adapter not available one star. No mention of the adapter on support site one star. Generally frustrated one star.

Overall Review: If I could find the adapter somewhere for this card I would say it does the job and would give it 5 stars for what it is. But since I can not use it for the intended purpose well there you go. Otherwise it seems like a solid cheap card good for light use.

These are not the Droids your looking for

Trident 3 Feet Micro HDMI Cable MHD-HD-3
Trident 3 Feet Micro HDMI Cable MHD-HD-3

Pros: Only paid 3.90 for mine

Cons: This is a micro hdmi to standard hdmi NOT micro usb to standard hdmi. It is NOT compatible with htc incredible or droid 2. This is for the galaxy tab and droid x only as far as I know.

Overall Review: Oops! Bought 2. One for my daughters phone as well double me stupid.

CCD vs CMOS

unibrain Fire-i IEEE 1394 Digital Camera
unibrain Fire-i IEEE 1394 Digital Camera

Pros: Wow! Great picture even in lower light levels(light from my LCD monitor is almost sufficient). Slightly better picture than my Logitech camera that is also CCD.

Cons: Can't get a CCD camera for under $100.00 firewire interface almost stopped me but I have one Firewire port in my sound card and that worked with this camera.

Overall Review: No matter what the manufacturers tell you CCD sensors are far superior. The only good thing about CMOS is they are cheaper. Mini tripod is a little hard to work with. Wish it was USB and included a monitor grip like my other CCD camera from Logitech. Even with minor inconveniences the picture quality pushes it back up to 5 stars. Newegg was great as always but I wish they had a broader selection of CCD cameras. I did not use the included software so I can't say how good it is.

Awsome

KWorld ATSC 330U ATSC/Analog TV Stick
KWorld ATSC 330U ATSC/Analog TV Stick

Pros: OK reception with included anttena, Works well with my laptop(which is not very powerfull) Small and light easy to setup. HD channels look good. Picked up 17 I am in the middle of a metropolitan area.

Cons: As other reviewers have said you need a small usb extention for sure. Does get a little hot when using for extended periods. Now that I have cable again don't need over the air HD.

Overall Review: This device picked up Comcast digital cable with no problem.

Good deal

Lowepro Gear D-Series D-Res 4M Case for Ultra-slim Digital Camera
Lowepro Gear D-Series D-Res 4M Case for Ultra-slim Digital Camera

Pros: Good little case for the money. Fits my OptioS40 nicely snug but not tight and has two other pockets for my SD cards and some spare batteries. I usually wear it on my belt using the velcro strap on the back.

Cons: None it works well for me.

Overall Review: I don't usually carry spare batteries as it makes it a little bulky but they do fit if needed and although it is small enough to fit I don't usually put it in my pockey but on my belt. Thank you NewEgg.
