Most Critical Review

NETGEAR WNDR3300-100NAS 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Selectable Dual-Band RangeMax Wireless-N Router up to 300Mbps
NETGEAR WNDR3300-100NAS 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Selectable Dual-Band RangeMax Wireless-N Router up to 300Mbps

Pros: Dual band, Wireless N, that's about it.

Cons: very expensive, Configuration is ridiculous even if you are familiar with computers.

Overall Review: i purchased this router from somewhere else but hated it so much i needed to post on newegg. and because i purchased its replacement from here. i payed $130 for this 2 Sundays ago from Best Buy because my Linksys crapped out on me. i did not like the fact i had to install software on my computer to configure it. now i am not as familiar with NetGear as i am with Linksys but this setup took way to long in my opinion. there is no need for me to post all the tech specs because every other review on here has them. point being, even while on sale from newegg now for $77 with free shipping, this device is not worth more then $30.

Awesome case

Pros: fans, fan control module, space, removeable fan bays,

Cons: cant turn off LED lights......atleast i havent figured it out

Overall Review: have been using this for about 3 years now. love it. plenty of space, power supply on bottom. never had a problem with 200mm top fan like others have. never even had to add the extra fan on the clear panel. highly recommended

Reliable

Pros: reliable, simply great board.

Cons: bigger heatinks hard to fit between on board heatsinks. took some time to fit my big Zalmann with minor modification.

Overall Review: im not into gaming, but i am in the IT industry. i do a TON of downloading and wanted to build my own system so i can have constant downloading and operate quite fast while doing so. this board has been running like a champ for over 3 years now. i know they dont sell it anywhere anymore but thought id leave a review anyways.

nice card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100283L

Pros: great quality card. love that it has HDMI

Cons: my first card had a bad DVI port. HDMI to TV has poor audio.

Overall Review: if your going to have this hooked up to a tv at all times as i do. your better off with a VGA cable with audio.

pretty nice
