Most Favorable Review

Best laptop HDD for the money!

Pros: Bought 2 of these during the sale markdown last week. One was for my 360 and the other was for my laptop upgrade. So far both are working great. With online tutorials the 360 upgrade went very smoothly. So glad I could do this! It really changes everything. I don't have to delete anything and I can play games directly from my HDD! My laptop is also loving the drive after a fresh rebuild. So much space for drive partitioning on my 4 year old laptop. Coupled with the memory upgrade, my laptop only seems 2 years old now! haha.

Cons: None so far...great little hard drives

Overall Review: As long as these drives don't die anytime soon, I'm sold. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, one of my friends wants to upgrade his 360 so I might help him do that, with this drive of course.

Most Critical Review

Died after 8 months

Pros: Good while it lasted. Nice vibrant colors and fan control mechanism.

Cons: After 8 months of continuous use on a gaming machine it died. Had to get a temp replacement from Newegg. It was behind a surge protector (I admit I should've used a UPS, but how many people actually use one?)

Great fan...spreads nice air

Pros: Works nicely, worth the money I got it for ($30 off). Lots of settings + remote.

Cons: Could be stronger

Amazing Remote Control

Pros: First off, I love this remote. Got it in April and just charged it again for the first time in the middle of June. Controls my blu-ray player, xbox 360, tv, hd dvr cable box with ease. Love all the settings. The LCD screen and rechargeable battery are standout feature of this one. If you're going to spend over $100 for a remote this is definitely the one. No going back for me. It makes remotes as fun and intuitive as other gadgets in the house. Also easy for family to use once a crash course is given to them.

Cons: Remote doesn't always configure devices correctly. I often have to press help on the remote to go through the process of setting the correct inputs and turning the devices on and off if the activities didn't work correctly.

Great add-on! Looks nice and works as described!

Pros: Great great add-on to any pc. The 3 front usb ports are perfectly placed under my other drive bays. I've tested everything but the esata ports and it all works great. Memory cards, usb readers, ipod syncing, etc. I highly recommend this product. Looks nice and adds nice functionality to semi-older machines (2007). Made the plunge when it was on sale. One of my favorite little addons to my pc

Cons: Shows up as about 6 new drives when connected to PC. I mapped them to the bottom letters so as not conflict with other plug and play devices, but it still clutters "My Computer" in Windows. Wish there was an on/off switch to disable the drive when not using it.

Overall Review: On/off switch would add the extra Egg for me. Otherwise great product.

Best. Monitor. Ever.

ASUS VH242H Black 23.6" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 (1000:1) W/Speakers

Pros: Beautiful Monitor, Hi Def, HDMI, DVI, VGA. Perfect for movies (16:9 aspect ratio), perfect for gaming (5ms refresh rate), perfect for web surfing and even writing papers. Makes me look forward to going home to my computer. Very bright and the 23.6" compared to 24" is hardly noticeable. I want to buy another one of these to replace my secondary 19" Dell LCD. Can't get enough of this monitor. Dont shell out more just for the names. This is high quality at an amazing value.

Cons: Stand is not the best but its bearable.

Overall Review: Thanks Newegg for the fast shipping and for the no dead pixels, haha.
