Great for the money

Honeywell 50250-S True HEPA Round Air Purifier
Honeywell 50250-S True HEPA Round Air Purifier

Pros: This thing pushes a lot of air. The lifetime filter seems very sturdy, and I honestly believe that if I take care of it that it will last well beyond the 5 year warranty of the product. I generally keep this unit running in my basement bedroom, and it really does help the air smell fresher (probably due to the activated carbon pre-filter). I couldn't afford an expensive unit, and my allergies aren't severe, so this unit fits me perfectly.

Cons: This unit is a bit loud. As mentioned before, I keep it in my bedroom, but the noise doesn't bother me. I've heard gaming computers that are louder, but I always run this unit at the lowest speed. On the turbo setting (the third setting) this thing sounds like a small jet engine!

Most Critical Review

Unreadable Disc

Army of Two Xbox 360 Game
Army of Two Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Nice box. The disc is shiny and scratch free...

Cons: The game is completely unplayable. Anytime from system boot-up to 15 minutes into gameplay I get the "disc is unreadable" error message. The disc came in a sealed package and is brand new with no scratches. The other 6 games that I purchased at the same time play just fine. Based on what I've read in online forums, this seems to be fairly common with several EA games on the 360.

Overall Review: While the game disc is obviously no fault of newegg's, I don't care for their policy. Games apparently aren't subject to a refund policy, and it'll cost me over $8 just to RMA. Looks like I just wasted my money. I'll think twice before buying software from newegg in the future, especially software from EA (always seems to be plagued with bugs and errors.)

It works

Pros: My aunt had an old Dell that was really dragging and crashing due to "low virtual memory." I bought a stick of this stuff, which tripled her RAM, and her comp has been running great without the need to resort to virtual memory since. This stuff works as advertised, and it's pretty darn affordable for older hardware.

Cons: None.

Excellent Product for the Money

Pros: This thing is awesome. I can't believe just how big the screen is for the money...especially from a name brand that I know. The monitor arrived at my house in GA within 3 days, and there was not a single dead pixel on the screen. It's been running strong for about a month now. It's really nice to finally be able to play all my games at a ridiculously high resolution and still be able to read the text on screen.

Cons: Some text is a bit blurred on the screen in certain locations (when using text programs like MSWord), but it's no big deal. It's still perfectly readable, and my friend has a 25" monitor from another manufacturer that does the same thing. Doesn't bother me in the least. I don't notice anything out of the ordinary when playing games.

Overall Review: I haven't tested the speakers to see if they work, and I'm not sure I ever will. This monitor would be an awesome deal even without any audio.
