The right stuff

MSI GE Series - 15.6" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M - Intel Core i7-3630QM  - 8GB Memory - - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (GE60 0ND-666US )
MSI GE Series - 15.6" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M - Intel Core i7-3630QM - 8GB Memory - - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (GE60 0ND-666US )

Pros: Great components for an all around desktop replacement/gaming laptop. Running Windows 7 as it should be. Windows 8 is a joke for gaming.

Cons: Doesn't feel well built. Not sure how long it will last. Plastic feels a bit too thin, it all feels kinda loosely put together.

Overall Review: I sure don't like the direction laptops have taken lately. Finding a decent laptop with good components and windows 7 is darn near impossible now. Never been a big fan of MSI, but it had all the right stuff, so we'll just see how long/well it lasts. Hope to get 3 to 4 years out of it.

Bad Drivers STILL

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5830 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R583UD-1GD
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5830 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R583UD-1GD

Pros: When it works, it seems great. Plays SOME of my games quite well. Seems to stay pretty cool, and pretty quiet.

Cons: I STILL can't play CoD1 or CoD2!!! Unable to even start up these games. Always just fails. I've updated my drivers through 3 releases to the lastest 10.8 ATi drivers. Figured they would have fixed the divers by now, but NO!

Overall Review: If you have games you love to play, don't count on them working. I've always been an NVIDA person, never had any problems, but thought I'd give ATI a try. HUGE MISTAKE. Everyone complains about driver issues with the ATI cards, I just WISH I had listened. What I wouldn't give to dump this ATI thing for a nice NVIDIA465.

Very Cool

Genuine 2012 Rare BLACK COLOR Syma S107G 3CH Gyro RC Helicopter With Bonus Spare Parts & AC Charger - Value of $15 -
Genuine 2012 Rare BLACK COLOR Syma S107G 3CH Gyro RC Helicopter With Bonus Spare Parts & AC Charger - Value of $15 -

Pros: We had an older syma 108, lasted about 2 years before the battery gave out. Tried to replace it, it worked great for about 2 weeks, then it just plain quit. Replaced it with this S107G, it's better. VERY stable, easy to fly, metal frame, and the rare black is VERY cool. Excellent getting the AC charger and spare parts, I think it was a great deal. If you are looking at a first time indoor helicopter, the 107G is a good one to get.

Cons: I read that there are counterfeit Syma 107s out there. You can look up videos on youtube to teach you how to know if it is fake or not. I would HOPE NewEgg wouldn't wind up with any, but who knows.

Overall Review: Good for first time heli pilots.

Solid device

Pros: Had this wireless router for a couple months now. I'm VERY pleased. The router is in my basement office, 1st floor is full 5 bars wireless strength everywhere, 2nd floor is 4 to 5 bars, still very strong. Much better than my old g router. Have not had to reset it a single time, very solid, works great!

Cons: Yes it's a bit expensive, but reading reviews of other N routers, seems like none of them last more than 6 months and need to be reset constantly.

Overall Review: I wanted a GOOD router that would just work. This one seems to, so far! This seems to be one of the few routers that doesn't have 1/2 the people commenting saying it's junk like most of the others out there. Maybe you really DO get what you pay for :-)

Excellent

Syma S108G Marines Force Gyro R/C Helicopter
Syma S108G Marines Force Gyro R/C Helicopter

Pros: Bought this for my 14 year old son for Xmas. It's his favorite toy now. Easy to fly, he had it flying all around the room and landing in his hand the first day. Several crashes against walls, ceiling, couches, etc and still working great, I'm quite impressed. The gyro makes hovering easy, the trim adjust really works great, quite stable.

Cons: Flight times have been about 10 minutes, charge time about 20 to 30 via USB port. Wish they were reversed, but my son doesn't seem to mind much. Certainly no worse than any other indoor RC helicopter I've seen.

Overall Review: On sale at NewEgg, it was a great deal. Certainly one of the best Xmas "toys" he's had in years.

Excellent Solution

KINGWIN KF-2000-BK 3.5" Internal hot swap rack
KINGWIN KF-2000-BK 3.5" Internal hot swap rack

Pros: Simple installation. Lock light, and drive activity light are attractive, not too bright, very functional. No drive caddies/sleds used, just pop in a raw drive, Easy to insert and eject drives. Works like a charm. One other reviewer said they were hard to get in and out, he must have had a defective unit, or he installed it wrong, drives slide in and out with virtually no resistance. Close the door, it's in place, open the door, it pushes the drive out a few inches so you can easily grab it and pull it out.

Cons: Must remove keys, they wont stay in, bit of a hassle. All plastic, seems OK, but I wouldn't be too rough with it.

Overall Review: First one I received was defective, lock was installed wrong. NewEgg was awesome as always and got me a new one very quickly. Second one seems to be working perfectly. I use this on my test system, I can currently boot any of 8 OSs by just sliding in a different drive. The small fan seems to do a fine job of keeping the drives cool. They are barely even slightly warm when I take them out.

On time. and as expected

The Motherboard came properly packed and protected, it arrived on time, and worked just fine. It was clearly not open box or used, what more can you hope for?

Properly packed, arrived with no damage

Always worry when I order BIG things like computer cases. But, I got this one damage free. it was properly packed as the Case box inside another box. It got here when it was supposed to arrive, and the price was good. What more can I say?
