Pros: - Shipped fast - Trusted seller - Came with all accessories - Like-new physical condition

Cons: - Appears to be a knock-off Apple charger (not sure)

Overall Review: My brother needed to replace his broken Sprint Moto Razr, and wanted to get on the data-phone bandwagon. He wanted an iPhone because he already has an iPod Touch and all the apps could be moved over. His phone line is sharing minutes on my account and I didn't want him buying a stolen phone. At first he found "new" phones on other popular online stores and auction sites, but when I scrutinized the reviews for the phones and the sellers, I wasn't happy. A lot of people were reporting getting so-called new phones that obviously weren't new (some were even getting phones that hadn't been wiped and still had someone else's data on them). Even the refurbs sounded sketchy with lot's of people reporting phones that were scratched up and with data on them, and obviously not factory refurbs. Even worse, many people were reporting that their phones had stolen EIN numbers. Not finding anything I could trust I checked here on Newegg and found this iPhone 4 that Newegg clearly stated is a factory refurb, and that has a 90 day factory warranty from Apple. Moreover it also has a 30 day exchange guarantee through Newegg themselves. As an IT consultant, I have been using Newegg for going on 10 years now, and trust them, so I at least felt I wasn't going to get ripped off. The phone arrived in a plain black box, with an Apple-style plastic cradle protecting the phone. The phone was sitting in the cradle with a piece of foam covering it. The phone had clear plastic protecting the face and read panel. The accessories (USB cable, charger, ear buds) were floating loose underneath the cradle, but they were in factory type wrappings. The phone didn't have a mark on it - it looked like new. After charging over-night and activating, I made several long phone calls and the battery held up fine. The only slight negative is that the charger appears to be a knock-off, unless Apple uses a different charger for refurbs. It looks just like an Apple cube charger, but there is no "Apple" name on it, and when I Googled comparison photos of genuine Apple cubes and knock-offs, this looked like a knock-off. The lettering was different, the quality of the cut edges of the prongs were rough (genuine Apple cubes have smoothly sanded and polished prongs). Like I said, maybe Apple uses cheaper chargers for refurbs, or they have an arrangement with Newegg where Newegg supplies the charger. Don't know. The box was not come sealed, so it's possible. Irregardless, the price is still right, and the phone looks gorgeous. Most importantly I had no issues activating the phone.

Pros: None

Cons: First drive had sector errors when I tried to clone a customer's drive to it. Spinrite detected a whole bunch of problems. RMA'd it and ran Spinrite level 4 on the replacement before putting it on the shelf and the numbers were even worse than the first drive. 54 MILLION ECC events, 2 million seek errors. That's the kind of numbers I'd expect from an old worn drive, not a new one.

Overall Review: Seagate rarely disappoints me, but this is either a bad drive design or else Newegg got a hold of a bad batch of drives.

Pros: - sharp image - two inputs (DP & HDMI) - refresh rate (100Hz) - style - GSync

Cons: - easier access for USB ports would have been nice - higher refresh than 50Hz in HDMI would be nice

Overall Review: Been using this 1 1/2 years now as my primary monitor. I use the two inputs to switch between my main workstation (using HDMI) and my gaming PC (using DP in GSync mode). I had previously used a 144 Hz GSync ROG monitor. The wider curved screen on this monitor is so much nicer. I really don't have any problems changing from a max refresh of 144 to 100 Hz. I play most games capped at 90 Hz using a GTX 1080, to allow plenty of head room. Monitor has a stunning image and after a year and a half no dead pixels or discoloration. Controls make it very easy to switch back and forth between inputs.

Pros: - FAST! - Quiet

Cons: - BIG card - make sure you have the room for it. Check the length.

Overall Review: I'm the kind of guy who usually gives everything I buy no more than 4 eggs instead of 5 because 1) nothing is ever perfect and 2) I always worry someone will ignore my review because (let's face it) some of 5 egg reviews are phony. However, this card really was perfect (for me at least). Easiest install ever. I previously had a GTX 760 so I upgraded to the latest NVidia drivers from their website first, then shut down the PC and swapped it out, fired it up and Win8 immediately detected the card. I am using this card in conjunction with the Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q 144Hz GSync monitor, which is an awesome combination. I'm now getting 90 FPS+ in most first person shooters with high or ultimate graphics settings. There had been some reports that this card, with it's initial BIOS version, didn't work properly with some DisplayPort monitors (including the ROG Swift PG278Q) but, I am happy to report that everything worked fine for me. Just be aware that the card is a BEAST. It's longer than my old EVGA GTX 760. Fit fine in a standard mini tower case, but it did poke into the hard drive cage in front of it, so there would have been no way to mount a hard drive directly in front of the card. Quiet card. Even under heavy load in COD AW, I can hardly hear the video card fans running. Yeah, I could have gotten another GTX 760 (or similar) card and gone SLI but if you read the forums, SLI is still flaky at times. There are a few AAA games released recently that didn't properly support SLI out of the box. Also, you are not getting anywhere double the performance with SLI. I decided I wanted the simplicity and reliability of a single card, and just got a card that would not be obsolete any time soon. The old GTX 760 can always go to a friend.

Pros: - Resolution - GSync!!!! - High refresh rate

Cons: - Crosshair overlays are ugly. - Some games have issues with 144Hz but you can use 120Hz

Overall Review: I have to say that it's just a pleasure gaming on this monitor. It makes games look better in a way that's hard to describe. I'm not distracted by image tearing anymore, and that just dramatically improves the level of enjoyment multiplayer FPS games where an image tear can cause you to miss seeing a sniper in the distance, or an opponent coming around a building. The ability to also game at higher refresh rates than 60Hz (and thus actually seeing higher framerates than 60 FPS) is game changing. The higher refresh rate is also noticeable on the Windows desktop (no mouse blurring). Gameplay is just so much more fluid with GSync. Yeah, in another 2 years this, or something like it, will likely come standard on all gaming monitors without such a price hit, but I'm okay with being a first adopter instead of waiting another year. BE AWARE that as of this date (11/30/14) there are issues with GTX 970 & 980 cards using DisplayPort (and you HAVE TO use DisplayPort on this monitor). NVidia has not yet addressed the problem which basically prevents the video card from seeing the monitor at all and if it's your only monitor, you'll boot to a black screen. Just Google "GTX 970 980 DisplayPort Black Screen" and you'll find several forum threads about this on the Asus and EVGA forums. I am holding off on upgrading my GTX 760 tgo a 970 until they resolve the problem. Minus one egg only for minor quibbles (5 eggs would assume it's a perfect product and it is not quite). - Controls are a little awkward for setting the refresh on the monitor, although once you set it you can forget it, but it's easy to accidentally press the refresh toggle. - The crosshair overlays are useless. They are needlessly large and bright and end up blocking you line of sight. I would have preferred just a simple red dot in the center of the screen. There are only a couple of games that I would have liked to use the crosshairs with, and considering it was touted as a selling point, it's disappointing. The crosshairs apprear to have been designed by someone who has never played a game in his life. - There were issues with the NVidia video drivers available at the time of the monitor's release that made it impossible to use at any refresh except 60Hz, but NVidia has since fix this issue, so just make sure to download the latest drivers. They took a month and a half to fix the issue and I'm a bit peeved that the monitor was released without drivers to properly support it. BE AWARE this monitor comes with a DisplayPort 1.2 cable and you MUST use this cable. Most DisplayPort cables aren't 1.2. Anyone buying this monitor should be aware that GSync only works with NVidia video cards (600 series and up), but it bears repeating. No sense in buying this monitor ifd you don't have an NVidia card.

Pros: Great looking PSU with great specs. IN THEORY should be ultra quiet since the fan will only spin when the PSU is under heavy load.

Cons: In practice, when the fan is under load but not enough to start it spinning, it rattles and makes an annoying buzzing noise.

Overall Review: This would be a 5 egg review EXCEPT for the annoying buzzing/rattle the fan develops over time. If you scroll through the reviews you will see a lot of people complaining about it. What happens is that the fan does not spin at all unless the PSU is under heavy load or heating up enough to warrant it. This (in theory) makes for a very quiet PSU. Unfortunately the circuit Corsair uses to provide voltage to the fan will, at some point, provide only enough voltage to make the fan rattle but not enough to spin (and emitting a very annoying buzzing noise in the process while it's rattling). Once the PSU is warm enough or under enough load the fan starts spinning at a low RPM and is nearly silent. But most of the time on my rig, when playing a 3D game, the fan does it's little rattling dance, not receiving quite enough voltage to start spinning, and emitting the annoying buzz. The buzz gets louder over time. 3 months ago it was rather faint and could not be heard while I'm playing a game with headphone on. Now it's gotten quite annoyingly load. I requested an RMA from Corsair (they were very understanding when I explained the problem, and seemed familiar with it) and I received the replacement PSU today. UNFORTUNATELY the replacement PSU does exactly the same thing. On top of that I had to eat return shipping. Needless to say I'm not happy. I'll live with it (not going to pay shipping for yet another RMA - buying a different PSU from another manufacturer would be cheaper in the end). I may eventually just hot wire the fan to the 12 volt rail when the noise starts driving me insane.

Used EVGA GTX 760 Superclock. Like new condition (still had factory stickers on the fan hubs). Item was very clean, burn in test indicated it was not abused and probably not used for mining as the temps matched or were below an identical spare unit I own. A bit pricey, but in April 2021 with GPUs as scarce as they are, it was a fair price compared to what they were being sold for on auction sites. Needed a spare card for a custom PC build to tie someone over until they get a 3080. Decently packed in bubble wrap. Would have preferred to see it shipped in a slightly larger box with a bit wore bubble pack, or a box within a box just to protect it from impact damage during shipping, so I took one egg off for that, but it arrived in good shape.
