Good

Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF 2.0 M Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam
Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF 2.0 M Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam

Pros: Great pircture quality. Easy pan/tilt adjustments. Built-in mic.

Cons: When you use the mounting rod, the camera would go offline even with a slight shake or vibration of table. Software comes with "bloatware". Must be careful just to install what you need.

Overall Review: There are drivers for Windows 7. I use this with W7 x64 version - no problems.

Most Critical Review
Antec TWO HUNDRED S Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec TWO HUNDRED S Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Nice looking. It works.

Cons: VERY poorly laid out case. Virtually no space for PSU air intake. Some motherboard components may hit the top case fan. Be very careful in installation.

Overall Review: Advertised rebate was denied - this is true for most mail-in rebates. Neglect mail-in rebates by Antec. You WILL end up paying the full price.

Western Digital Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: This I use as the boot HD in a new system. Works fien so far. Runs cool... well, not too hot.

Cons: Noisy! Last time I heard this much noise from a HD was about 10 years ago, when the technology was not so refined.

Overall Review: This is not a brand I usually buy, but due to recent supply shortages, this was the only one I could afford. Runs OK so far, but the noise annoys me. It is VERY noisy, even when I keep the computer under the table.

Good drive

ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Latest 6GB/s SATA. Stable. No problems.

Cons: Just one PCI expansion X4 slot on board. Just 6 SATA ports, wich is barely sufficient for a good work PC.

Overall Review: This is a great, very stable motherboard. I would recommend it to a friend. Totally worth the money.

Not what you'd expect

LG-Ericsson WBR-5050 Wireless N600 Dual-Band Broadband Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
LG-Ericsson WBR-5050 Wireless N600 Dual-Band Broadband Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Small, all internal antennas. Simple setup. Easy to use.

Cons: Cannot change "admin" name. Cannot stop wireless admin access (which is a dealbreaker for me). Weaker signal strength for a router of this price. Major con: LAN is NOT gigabit, but just 100mbps (however, it is listed otherwise). Comes with a tiny piece of apper with fineprinted instructions, which are not very useful for advanced settings.

Overall Review: I won't recommend this for a friend. I didn't buy this from NewEgg.
