HOORAY FREE!
Pros: Great game! This is the game Fallout wishes it could be!
Cons: I already had this game before I got the coupon...
Overall Review: The great part about these coupons, is you can give them to people! As gifts! So I got me a free birthday present for the next birthday I forget... Yeah!
Decent quality arm with some really dumb design choices
Pros: - Inexpensive - Decent enough quality material - Holds monitors
Cons: - Design choices leave a lot to be desired - Stickers on arm do not come of cleanly - Frustrating to attempt to use the cable management covers
Overall Review: These are pretty good arms, but the absolutely baffling decisions made in the design process make it needlessly annoying to set up. Installing the clamp requires using a hex wrench where normal Philips screws would have been totally fine. The frustration is doubled by the fact 2 of the screws are close to a long metal piece so you can't fully rotate the hex wrench. Just a dumb choice here The second part is for some utterly perplexing reason for egg removal. The cable management covers have screws holding them closed. Why? Who would choose to do this? Who hurt you? Clips would be far more than sufficient. And the screws are an absolute pain to get to once the arms are installed on a desk. And finally, the bright yellow stickers that you cannot peel off without leaving shredded sticker. This is almost crime level laziness, a static cling sticker would have been perfect here and cost pennies more. I would happily pay an extra dollar to not have to waste 5 mins scratching off sticker residue. Heck 2 dollars more for a not trash easy peel sticker. But yeah they're fine.
Great card, great price, super quiet
Pros: Cheap, so quiet I thought my computer wasn't even on, handles anything I can even think to throw at it like a boss
Cons: took a tiny little bit of finagling to get to work with 3 monitors (only thing I could think of without having to super mega ultra nitpick)
Overall Review: I got 2 of these to upgrade from my 4850s. They are amazing, and when the box says they are quiet, boy do they mean quiet. My old cards sounded like a jet taking off when I turned my PC on and these I can barely even hear which is a huge plus. Also my PC no longer works double as a space heater, which is also a huge plus considering most days it's 90+ degrees outside. Tried the FF14 benchmark on maximum, 4850s got about 3200, 7850s got over 5000. And these two cost less than my 4850s when I got them. Fantastic cards. I can even use 3ds max without the UI throwing a tantrum while using crossfire now as well.
Why is Rosewill so awesome?!
Pros: Whisper quiet! Moves a good amount of air, held up 4 playing cards to the side of my case. Cheap as chips! COMES WITH SPARE SCREWS! I can't tell you how much I liked that.
Cons: None, nothing could possibly make me not like this fan!
Overall Review: The fan is solid, well built, and has a nice protective sleeve for the cable. Comes with adapters and 8 screws! 8 SCREWS!!! I finally have some spares! That alone is worth its weight in gold. Will buy more!
Good big drive
Pros: Holds Data, wasn't DOA
Cons: It's not an SSD, it's not 2TB.
Overall Review: Doing a little stress test, seeing how fast it writes, it does 360gb in a little under 45 mins. I own countless seagate drives, never ever had an issue with one ever. Great company, great tools, great support, never experienced their RMA process though but that's a good thing!
It's an OS
Pros: It's Windows 7 It's not Vista
Cons: Shipping was abysmally slow by Newegg standards.
Overall Review: Apparently it was shipped with DHL, but it arrived with my normal mail. Might explain why they filed for bankruptcy.
