Great Card!!

MSI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N450GTS-M2D1GD5/OC
MSI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N450GTS-M2D1GD5/OC

Pros: This card is great, I built a new system with it. I have a GTX250 and GTX9800 and this card performs better than either one of my other ones. Played a ton of games on it, such as BFBC2, COD4, Mass Effect, Killing Floor, FNV, FF14, etc.. with settings maxed out- no glitches! Runs cool, fits in a mid tower no problem. It's a little shorter than my other 2 cards (GTX250 & GTX9800). I'm a gamer and a CAD draftsman, it worked great with everything I threw at it! Thanks MSI and Newegg!!

Cons: It's not a time machine! LOL

Overall Review: If you are looking for an awesome card and don't want to spend $200+ then get this card, it'll handle anything you throw at it! Get it!

Could have been great!!

DOLICA DK-20 Black Travel Camera Backpack - Medium
DOLICA DK-20 Black Travel Camera Backpack - Medium

Pros: The bag itself is fairly well made, I have a Wenger Synergy backpack (also have some backpacking packs-Lowe Alpine, Northface), so I'm used to high quality. It doesn't quite measure up in quality to those, but it's close. Plenty of room for what I have, (Sony a850 DSLR). Very versatile back, can be used as a backpack, or tuck the straps away behind the pad on the back of the bag and you have a hand carried bag. The outside is fairly sleek, not a lot of junk to get hung up on things. I would recommend the bag, especially for the price.

Cons: The one problem I have with this bag is not the bags fault! It's used!!!!!! I bought a new, un-used bag from Newegg, and they sent me a used bag!!!! It was not in any kind of wrapping other than a cheap saran wrap that someone put on just to keep it clean during shipping. No manufacturer tags. The strap that should hold the top of the tripod secure is missing. The bottom of the bag has a rubber coating on it to keep it from absorbing water when set on the ground-the corners are rubbed off! It was covered in 5 year old dust when I took it out of the shipping box! It looks as though it was a store display! And last, the brand name on the pack is not "Dolica", it's in some other language!!! You think I got the dusty display from a store in some far away country???

Overall Review: Other than getting a second hand pack, I think I'll keep it. It is more use to me used and in my hands than have to wait another 6 weeks to get another one! The shipping was super slow as well, it took 2 weeks to get to my door. I have bought a ton of items from Newegg over the last 5 years, and really have never had a complaint. This is the first time something like this has happened to me. Oh well, life goes on, I'll still buy from Newegg.

Awesome!

Microsoft  SideWinder X6  Black Keyboard Win USB English
Microsoft SideWinder X6 Black Keyboard Win USB English

Pros: I love this keyboard, the back light is nice, adjustable brightness, the brightest is really bright! Nice feel to the keys, very responsive. SOOOOOO many macros! It's fairly heavy so it doesn't slide around on you while your typing or playing. Easy to use software. Buy it!!! Newegg is AWESOME as usual!! Fast shipping.

Cons: It can't transform into a cool truck. I have another cool box (the box it comes in) to clutter up my house now!

Overall Review: I like the option to switch the number pad to the left side of the keyboard. It has magnets that help hold it together well. The only thing I can find wrong with the board is that it does not tilt up, but who really needs it anyway. I like to have the option but it feels great even without it. I'll probably rig something up so I can put the board on a tilt.

Customer support????

Acer G235HAbd 23'' 5ms  1920x1080 WideScreen LCD monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1
Acer G235HAbd 23'' 5ms 1920x1080 WideScreen LCD monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Nice monitor, so far so good. Lets see how long it lasts. But I will never buy from Acer again!! Don't let their warranty fool you!

Cons: I bought an Acer monitor (Acer X233Hbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor) on Nov. 23rd 2009 from Newegg (Newegg is awesome as usual). The monitor went out yesterday. So I check the warranty and it's still good. I file an online claim, no response. I try to call them, only to find out that customer support is more than the monitor itself! What good does it do to have a three year warranty on something if you have to pay more than the product is worth just to get claim filed???!! I am really frustrated with the lack of customer service from Acer, I will never buy another product from them again!

Overall Review: I am a computer builder, I spend around $15k on computer parts a yr. I have had to RMA a few things here and there. XFX has some of the best customer support you could ask for-and it's free!! What happened to the days of actually talking to a person on the phone for free? :( Newegg is always awesome though! :)

Awesome case!

XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case
XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is an awesome case, I have owned one for more than a year now, and I have hardly any complaints. It keeps my system cool, it moves a lot of air! The two big fans on the side are really quiet, the lights are just perfect. There is a ton of room inside. I love the bay slots, no tools required. This thing is huge! Get ready to have a beast in the house! No joke! If you are a serious computer builder like myself, this case will make you happy! LOL This thing has been on since I put it together, Literally night and day, non stop for about 13 months. It's very well built, the metal is really thick, and it's heavy. (Which I like).

Cons: The two big fans went out after about 8 months, I just ordered two new ones and popped them in. The replacements were $50 for the both. I didn't like it much, but for the amount of air they move for the noise- it's worth it! This is not a deal breaking item for me, I would buy another one in a second.

Overall Review: This is the best case I have found or used for the money, it is better than some of the $200 cases that I've seen.
