Most Favorable Review

Good case with all the space you want.

LIAN LI PC-A71F USB3.0 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is HUGE. There's also so much room for activities. Good design, strong, and sturdy.

Cons: The Flux Capacitor seems to be missing. Without that, getting to 88 mph is kinda pointless.

Overall Review: Buy this case if you want a nice big case...

Most Critical Review

a few things to consider before you buy

SUPERMICRO MBD-X9DR3-F-O SSI EEB Server Motherboard Dual LGA 2011 DDR3 1600
SUPERMICRO MBD-X9DR3-F-O SSI EEB Server Motherboard Dual LGA 2011 DDR3 1600

Pros: pretty okay when you get it to work. (I can't say much because I just got it to work, and I can probably tell more about it after a few more months.) These comments are from assembling difficulties and problems while trying to get it to work, but supermicro offered good customer service and tech support. They helped me all the way from start to finish. Many times, I felt the urge to take it outside and take care of it Office Space style, but the price tag of $469.99 stopped me from doing so.

Cons: - expensive. - pretty difficult to get to work - LGA 2011 narrow type only. Be aware that the choices you have when choosing heatsink will be extremely low (there's about 6-7 types to choose from in newegg). I'm using SUPERMICRO SNK-P0050AP4 for heatsinks. I think my original choice of cooler master can get a more quiet computer, but this will do. they are still not bad. - USB only keyboard. - no onboard audio. - updating driver for motherboard needs to be done, make sure you download and install the right ones. (the files' names from supermicro was a little bit confusing to me (a few drivers are called the same "win.zip" which led me to believe that they are the same thing (but they aren't!!)) - you should choose whatever memories they certified! (I tried kingston at first, which fits perfectly, but didn't work. They told me to use ones they certified in their website, I chose samsung, and they work nicely.) To NEWEGG: I really wish you add LGA 2011 narrow as part of the specification on this board, because I bought a square one and wasting about a week or two extra (and restocking fees) while waiting for parts.

Overall Review: if you want a more quiet workstation or server, you may want to get other board that offer more options to choose from when choosing heatsink. BEWARE OF LGA 2011 NARROW!!

this seller keeps raising the price

Furby White Yeti Electronic Plush Toy

Pros: none

Cons: So, I saw the price posted (February 9th) at $69.99 and they sold me for $139. I bought it because my kid really wanted it. Now I checked back in on this to find that it's been raised to $200 (Feb 25th). Wow. However, I understand this because this particular color is also expensive else where as well. So despite the expensive price of the product, the package was mailed in terribly. The box that came with it has tapes on it, and bad scratches at some place, it's pretty obvious that the box has been opened before. (I took the picture of the box as well, so if you wanted to see the evidences of what I spoke of, let me know) The seller also didn't put it on the listing that this is an opened box item. There's also minor scratches at the bottom where you put the batteries.

Overall Review: I won't mind paying what I paid if this is really new and has not been opened before.

work like it should

Pros: decent price, and it works like it should. what else could you ask for?

Cons: none

SAMSUNG 8GB ECC Registered DDR3 1600 Server Memory Model M393B1K70DH0-CK009

Pros: they work like they should

Cons: price, really. I took out 1 egg because of the price. Originally this wasn't the memories I bought, I got kingston at first, but I have to replace it with this. The mobo I got only takes two kinds of certified memories, this samsung and the other one i dont' remember. I wanted 64 Gigs in my system so... naturally, they added up very quickly.

Overall Review: I still feel the pain from paying for the 64Gigs. It feels like you were punched in your stomach by a heavyweight boxer, the pain lingers.

Cons: a bit pricy
