ZyXEL PLA401v4KIT HomePlug AV Powerline Wall-plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 units) Up to 200Mbps

Pros: I usually don't write good reviews. I usually write when I'm really disappointed with a product. I'm so happy with this product. There's a room in the house that is way to far from my Switch and the Cat5 wiring would be a nightmare and cost a fortune. I plug this product in my switch, then plug into my room and have the same broadband Internet speed. It's like Clear Wire without the Clear Wire contract. There are other manufactures that have a similar product, but they want $60 more for the same speed and only back it with less than 1 year for a warranty. This product has a 2 year warranty! You spend less, get twice the speed, and a 2 year warranty! You will not find a better deal than this.

Cons: It should have come out sooner!

Overall Review: Dare to compare, but you will be back and buy this product from Newegg.

Can't Encrypt hard drive

Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac - CD Sleeve
Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac - CD Sleeve

Pros: It's a good VM for running your OS.

Cons: Can't encrypt your hard drive and run this program. This is an "Oh by the way" if your hard drive is encrypted it won't work because the OS won't see the new boot partition because it's encrypted.

Overall Review: You need to decide if you want to secure your data or run this program because you can't have it both ways.

No Slot for 2.5

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Arctic White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Corsair Carbide Series 500R Arctic White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Pros: It's a nice quiet case. I overpaid for this, so your getting a way better deal than I got.

Cons: There's no slot for a 2.5 SD card for pictures. You might not need it considering your uploading pics with your USB on the phone, but it should still be a feature. Also, there's no instruction manual to point out the benefits of this case. It's very bare bones.

Use at your own risk!

FixMeStick - 3 PCs - Retail
FixMeStick - 3 PCs - Retail

Pros: I bought 3 of these at a big discount. I thought this would be a great product to own.

Cons: I was hit with a Hijacking program on my MacBook Pro running Windows 7 with bootcamp. I got rid of the hijacking program and there was no trace of it. I installed the Fix Me Stick, ran a scan, nothing detected. After installing the fix me stick it would take about 10 minutes for my laptop to restart or shutdown. I contacted the tech support and there were useless. This will screw up your computer and make it worse then any virus you get infected with.

Overall Review: I thew away the 2 spare Fix Me Sticks in the garbage. I would only install this program on someone's computer who I don't like very much like an Ex girlfriend. Your better off using an Anti Virus program and Malware Bytes.

Buyer beware- No Retail box

Absolute Software LoJack for Laptops Premium KeyCard - 1 Year (Mac / PC)
Absolute Software LoJack for Laptops Premium KeyCard - 1 Year (Mac / PC)

Pros: This is a good product and haven't needed to use it, knocking on wood.

Cons: Newegg gave me the card with the activation code and no Retail Box. I don't know if anyone wrote this code down and will use it for later. I'm shocked at the lack of common sense to not send this in a secure Retail Box like I would if I bought this at another store. Hopefully the registration code works and hasn't been compromised. Your rolling the dice on this purchase, even though there is a rebate.

Overall Review: I bought the 3 year Lojack Software and got a retail box. Then again it was shipped from a third party and not Newegg directly.

It's REALLY Loud!

Cooler Master HAF XB EVO - High Air Flow Test Bench and LAN Box Desktop Computer Case with ATX Motherboard Support
Cooler Master HAF XB EVO - High Air Flow Test Bench and LAN Box Desktop Computer Case with ATX Motherboard Support

Pros: It fits a desktop build in this Cube design like a glove.

Cons: It's Loud! It's an open design meaning it was not meant to be quiet like most Cool Master cases. I have a desktop Cool Master and love it because it's quiet. You hear all the fans and fans inside the case. I'm going to get rid of this and transfer my hardware to a quiet computer case.

Overall Review: This could be a good server if you put it in a closet, so you can't hear the loud noise it makes.
