Broadcom adapter

IOGEAR GBU521 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter
IOGEAR GBU521 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter

Pros: This bluetooth was built base on Broadcom chipset. Broadcom is very good company. This Iogear bluetooth is tiny but firm, cheap price for 4.0 version.

Cons: For some reasons, this device is not working properly with win 7 home premium 64 bit but when I plugged it into PC which runs win7 ultimate 32bit, it works perfectly fine, detects right away my smartphone, transfers file just fine.

Overall Review: from my own experience, I think Iogear engineer need to look into utility and drivers...to make device working perfect no matter what windows versions 32bit...64bit...home premium....professional...Ultimate...Microsoft should share the blame...I do not own netbook, but if this device plug into netbook most of them running win7 starter...very cheap OS, I'll bet there will be problem...

Most Critical Review

Should be underrated power supply

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: seem working ok

Cons: I don't know why this PS had SLI certified, it don't even has enough power to supply my two Nvidia quadro video cards. My recommend to anyone who had household input voltage not stable at 110V, don't pick this one to buy. I can only use my new build SLI desktop around midnight when input voltage'll stable at 110V. I had already cut off UPS code on the box and mailed in to get $xx rebate, now I'll unable to return it back to get a better one, this might be the reason why OCZ offered rebate so thet we can't return product back because of missing UPS code. Lately I decided to buy 610W PC and Cooling PS with the input voltage support from 90V to 265V, I should have known this before, it's pricy lesson to me.

Overall Review: I should sell my OCZ 700W PS for lost to get some money back, good luck to me.

Made in China

Antec TruePower Classic series TP-750C 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply
Antec TruePower Classic series TP-750C 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply

Pros: Antec is good brand

Cons: Made in china: already gave this brand new power supply problem: 3 out of 4 legs of the fan have broken off, made clicking noise. I decided to glue them instead of DOA because of shipping fee to ship back to newegg might be too much to bear. Now my brand new power supply has become refurbish, gluebish...whatever.

Overall Review: I wished this power supply was MADE IN USA.

Nextar MP1607 7" Mobile DVD Player
Nextar MP1607 7" Mobile DVD Player

Pros: video is okay, not perfectly fine but okay; audio is fine.

Cons: battery last only 3 minutes or 4. At first, I thought I received defective unit because it won't turn on when play button is pressed...after messing around for awhile, I was able to turn it on by pressed and hold play button for seconds...do the same to turn it off by pressed and hold stop button for seconds... here is my advice: before determine unit is defective, let turn it on by remote control. I found unit worked very well with its remote control. The tip of DC connector (by cigarette lighter) bent easily, it broke off and I had to fix it myself.

Overall Review: Look forward to buy another one if newegg put it on SHELL SHOCKER one more time.

My first GEIL

GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GX22GB8000DC
GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GX22GB8000DC

Pros: I ordered a pair of these sticks for my ASUS P5N-E SLI with BIOS ver 0202, it would not boot up at all. However, when I installed these sticks to my older ASUS P5AD2-E premium, it booted right up and passed memtest86 easily. To those who had P5AD2-E premium motherboard, this would be a good choice of memory to upgrade because of reseanable price and DDR2 8000 speed for the next PC generation. I'd a bit sad that it would not work with my new P5N-E SLI motherboard that support quad core.

Cons: Wished the heatspeader was copper.

Overall Review: I love GEIL for lifetime warranty on their memory products. Keep it up GEIL.

Not a trusted manufacturer

Ezonics SD2GO USB 2.0 Portable SD/MMC Card Reader
Ezonics SD2GO USB 2.0 Portable SD/MMC Card Reader

Comments: It worked just once then never worked again. Because product is warranted through Ezonics, I had called customer service to inform their defective product, I called 4 times in 4 different days (not 4 times in the same date) and nobody ever picked up the phone. The item worth only $xx, I gave up and stopped calling them to request for RMA. I have bought many expensive computer components and a camcorder at Newegg but this is the first problem that I have had it seems will never solve. Good luck to anyone who interest in this item.
