Most Favorable Review

Great Deal

AMD Phenom II X4 840 - Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDX840WFGMBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 840 - Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDX840WFGMBOX

Pros: Wow this thing is fast. Upgraded from an older Athlon Dual-Core 4200+ 2.2 and wow this is a huge leap in performance. Runs cool and quiet with the stock HSF. Great for budget builds.

Cons: No L3 cache, but I knew that and didn't care. This is still a steal for the performance.

Overall Review: Highly recommended for those that can't afford higher-end CPU's or are wanting to stay in the 95W range. Make sure the RAM you intend to use doesn't require more power, but you should know that anyway.

Most Critical Review

Failed Twice

Tt eSPORTS KB-POI-BRBLUS-01 POSEIDON Illuminated Mechanical Keyboard - Brown Switch Edition
Tt eSPORTS KB-POI-BRBLUS-01 POSEIDON Illuminated Mechanical Keyboard - Brown Switch Edition

Pros: Reviewed previously. It was great when it was working correctly.

Cons: Key chattering and ghosting within the first three months of use. RMA'd through Manufacturer and the replacement was only available in different switches. Replacement also had the same issues within a few months of use.

Overall Review: Don't trust this brand.

DOA x2

ASRock 970M Pro3 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + AMD SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock 970M Pro3 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + AMD SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Best feature list for AM3+ micro. Only other one available doesn't even support SATA III.

Cons: Bought two. Both were DOA. Newegg refunded without a hassle.

Overall Review: I guess ASRock has no quality assurance these days. Avoid this board. If you must do AM3+, go full ATX instead.

so far, not so good

GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT LGA 775 Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT LGA 775 Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: allowed me to get use out of an old 775 intel that was collecting dust

Cons: My RAM is supported but it refused to enable Dual Channel mode. Have 2x4GB (DDR3 1333) and the whole point of getting this board was for the supposed 8GB memory support. Both sticks work just fine by themselves but it will only ever boot in single-channel mode. completely defeated the purpose of this purchase.

Overall Review: don't waste your money too

great company and product

VIVO Dual Mount for 1 Laptop up to 17" & 1 LCD Monitor 13" to 32", Desktop Mount / Stand, Black, Adjustable (STAND-V002C)

Pros: Needed this to use a monitor and laptop from a recliner. I contacted the manufacturer to request an additional extension for the monitor. They set up the order for me and I received it within two days, with free shipping. It works perfect. Very sturdy Easy to assemble

Cons: Not really a con for me, but this is quite heavy, so be sure you are mounting to a sturdy surface.

Overall Review: Very satisfied with the entire experience. Very highly recommend this company, and I will do business with them in the future if I ever need any additional mounts. Note: I did not purchase this through NewEgg
