Most Favorable Review
GIGABYTE GM-M5050 Glossy Black 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 800 dpi Curvey Mouse
GIGABYTE GM-M5050 Glossy Black 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 800 dpi Curvey Mouse

Pros: Good mouse for the price. A lot better than the Rosewill mouse I have been using.

Cons: None on product

Overall Review: Free shipping on this and a few other items on the order took over 12 days from time of order. In all the years I have bought from Newegg has a free shipping order taken more than 4 days, usually 3 sometimes 2. This seems too coincidental to their big push for you to sign up for an added cost Premier account. If it is i will be shopping elsewhere. I am already ignoring some of the email ads from them, something I never used to do. Seems like when companies have a good thing going they always go and screw it up. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And then they wonder where their customers went.

Most Critical Review

Died after 2 years

MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It worked 2 years

Cons: This board died on me after 2 years, like others have reported. Did the drill, even swapped out the cpu out of another dead MSI board. Put everything from the dead boards in new ones and was up and running again. Until my great purge due to moving for the first time in 30 years I had 10-15 year old boards(even had 1 VLB that was 20 years old) that still worked fine. Still running 10 year old ide hard drives in a couple of my computers. So I think that 2 years life out of a motherboard is unacceptable.

Great monitor at a low price

HP 24uh 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 5ms 60Hz D-Sub, DVI, HDMI LED Backlit Monitor
HP 24uh 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 5ms 60Hz D-Sub, DVI, HDMI LED Backlit Monitor

Pros: Plugged it in and it worked beautifully. Nice and bright, easy to see. Faster than my other monitors, no lag on scrolling now. No dead pixels, scratches or any evidence of being used. I have bought a number of refurbished items from Newegg over the last 7-8 years and have had not one problem yet with refurbished products, never have had a problem yet with anything I have bought.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It weighs less than 1\2 the weight of an old 19" CTL LCD that I was using.

Titan Series Mini Fixed Wall Mount for Small 13 - 27 inch TVs Max 66 lbs

Monoprice Titan Series Fixed Mini Wall Mount For Small 13" - 27" Inch TVs Displays, Max 66 LBS. 75x75 to 100x100, Silver, RoHS Compliant
Monoprice Titan Series Fixed Mini Wall Mount For Small 13" - 27" Inch TVs Displays, Max 66 LBS. 75x75 to 100x100, Silver, RoHS Compliant

Pros: I bought this not to mount a TV but to have a removable mount for my can crusher on a 4" x 4" post holding up my outdoor patio. It is very sturdy and does not flex any when crushing cans, The bolt holes on this bracket even lined up with the mounting bolt holes on the crusher. If it works this good for mounting and using my can crusher, I could not imagine any problems using this to mount a heavy flat screen TV or monitor

Cons: None

Overall Review: If I decide to mount a TV or monitor on the wall I know which one I am buying.

Rosewill RM-7700 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Mouse w/ Nano Receiver - Retail

Pros: Works good, the best wireless peripheral device I have ever owned(computer owner since 1987). Plug in the USB transmitter, turn on mouse and use. No drama no drivers to install, just plug and use even in XP. I wish all wireless devices were this easy..

Cons: Non except it doesn't bring me my morning coffee :).

Overall Review: No lag when using, have had problems with lag in other wireless devices

So far so good

TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I was a little hesitant to buy this drive, but it has been running 24\7 for almost a month now. No problems and I have another one on the way. For $60.00 they are a good buy but time will tell. At least I back up everything to another hard drive as precaution as I have been doing for years

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: I am a little worried about the second drive that is now in transit. The first one was shipped directly to where I live and delivered. Looking at the tracking of the second one it has to go over 1,000 more miles and has had 5 stops already in 5 days. I wonder if the increased handling exposure is a reason for dead or non functional drives. I will soon find out as this is first of 10 drives I have bought over the years from Newegg that was not shipped from California.
