Most Favorable Review

Awesome Product, Better Price!

Genius G-Pen F610 6"x10" Ultra-Slim Tablet Stylish Finish with support on Mac/Win Vista
Genius G-Pen F610 6"x10" Ultra-Slim Tablet Stylish Finish with support on Mac/Win Vista

Pros: Price. Nice professional design, thin, light. Pressure sensitivity is awesome, works excellent with Adobe photoshop!

Cons: Seems like it needs about 20 seconds to "warm up" after not being used for long periods of time. It skips a bit (very minor) when you begin using it after letting it sit for anything more than 10 minutes or so. The more you use it, it seems to respond better.

Overall Review: My son and I love to draw, we just wanted something we could use to reproduce the experience on a PC. This item was perfect for that, but having the right software is also important. Photoshop responds very well to our needs and this tablet has plenty of room for us to move around. I might have to get another since we keep fighting for this one.

Most Critical Review

Single Channel

PC CHIPS P55G LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
PC CHIPS P55G LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Price (was cheaper than it currently is now). Decent chipset, supports PC6400, 1333MHz, VGA built in.

Cons: Single Channel for memory only. It does make a difference in performance, it decreases it significantly.

Overall Review: It's a good board, but PC6400 is not as useful as it would be if this was a dual channel board like the majority of boards out there. Newegg does not list this item as a single channel board. I RMA'd.

First and Last ASRock

ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Price. No problems while it worked...

Cons: It's just over a year now since I bought this motherboard and it just died today. I've had other systems with what I thought were cheaper motherboards longer than this one that are still kicking, and I paid less for those!

Overall Review: I just received my GTX 770 in the mail today! I was excited to install it until I noticed my PC was off when I got home. I didn't remember turning it off so I went to turn it on and nothing. It's been a couple of hours of troubleshooting hoping it was just hardware that needed reseating. After swapping hardware with other working PC's, I've narrowed it down to this motherboard. I guess it got jealous of my new video card and committed suicide. I never overclocked. I've been reading the unacceptable replies from ASRock usually blaming the buyer for these motherboards not working, that alone is very bad customer service. I was going to buy another one of these to avoid driver problems and all, but after reading their replies, I've decided to buy from a different website and ASUS instead. I know how to troubleshoot and tried different working hardware and removing the motherboard and clearing the CMOS, but nothing seems to work. This board is dead and I won't be buying ASRock again, even If I have to pay a little more for other brands.

Great Item

VALOR 1 DIN AM/FM/DVD Receiver with 3.5" TFT LCD Monitor
VALOR 1 DIN AM/FM/DVD Receiver with 3.5" TFT LCD Monitor

Pros: Price (159.99 at the time). TFT screen actually looks really nice and has very nice color. My wife was tired of having an in dash DVD player without a screen up front. She had to keep asking the kids when to press play on a movie or when to stop forwarding, or she had to set it up while sitting in the back before driving. Now, she can sit up front and know when to press play or when to forward/rewind a movie, and maybe even enjoy the movie herself, all while driving! yupee... The sound is actually impressive and it has tons of features. My wife absolutely loves it, and she usually criticizes everything I buy, or do, or say, or even how I look! Her and I agree this might be the only right thing I've done since we married 9 years ago. It was an easy set up, remember to connect the pink brake wire to the ground wire, it simply bypasses not being able to use it while driving (dumbest feature, who wants to watch DVD's while parked??).

Cons: It's a single DIN unit, but the face is a bit wide and it was a tricky fit in the kit I had for my vehicle, i couldnt use the thin black bracket/cover that goes around the face, but i decided not to hack it, just left it in place. Still looks good though.

Overall Review: I didnt mean to rhyme. Bought this with the Emerson 15.3 inch overhead monitor, perfect couple.

Outstanding Monitor

EMERSONMOBILE Universal 15.3” Ceiling Mount TFT-LCD Monitor Model MT-2600
EMERSONMOBILE Universal 15.3” Ceiling Mount TFT-LCD Monitor Model MT-2600

Pros: Price and size. A great combination of both. Couldn't find anything cheaper, or as cheap for this price. Excellent quality, adjustable color and contrast made it even better. Kids love it. Easy hook up. It replaced a 10.4 inch Audiovox that weighed as much as this thing. Of course looking at it from the sides doesn't give it the best view, but from inside the vehicle no one complains. The only people that will complain are probably trying to see it from another car outside. I live in Compton, so when I tell someone how much I paid they figure it was stolen. I have to convince them that it was bought retail from NEWEGG! Newegg has better prices than our local thugs who seem to be struggling as well given our current economic status.

Cons: People think I bought this stolen from the price I tell them I paid (219 at the time).

Overall Review: I bought this along with the Valor in dash DVD player with a built in 3.5 inch TFT, both work good together and have made my wife's mini van the preferred vehicle for travel.

4 months and it's dead

SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub
SYBA SD-U2HUB-4 3.5" Front Panel USB2.0 4-port Hub

Pros: It worked great for about 4 months. Made it easy to access USB ports that had enough juice to power external items. Very easy installation.

Cons: Only a 30-day return policy for this item and after 4 months, it's no good. I had to disconnect and reconnect it from the PC and after a few minutes it would stop working, then eventually it stopped working completely.

Overall Review: I gave it 2 eggs just because it was cheap enough to last the 4 months, but I wish it would have lasted at least 1 year.
