Most Favorable Review

Awesome product and such a great price!

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL

Pros: Well I was pleasantly surprised that each stick of RAM came with it's own heatsink / holder which is a bonus in itself, but also made installation so much easier and safer due to not having to touch the RAM itself. It took less than 5 minutes to install all 4 and so far my computer is running better than ever!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: G.SKILL and Newegg ROCK!!!

PHILIPS PH62090 10 ft. 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug Headphone Extension Cable
PHILIPS PH62090 10 ft. 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug Headphone Extension Cable

Pros: It's long and it has a larger adapter attachment that fits in the older stereo system Headphone jack that I have connected to my DVR/Cable box.

Cons: Whenever I attach my BOSE Inner canal earbuds or my Creative Noise cancelling headphones to the extension cord I have to pull it ou slightly to get stereo sound ( to both left and right ears) If I push it all the way in sound only plays in one ear. The problem with having to have it slightly pulled out is that it's loose and will often come out more or all the way...then no sound of course. aren't all 3.5mm connectors created compatible? Or shouldn't they be?

Overall Review: well it's a good thing I'm sitting still while watching TV...that way I can place the point of connection in a stable place so that the earphone plug doesn't get moved an unplugged from the extension cord.

Best case fans ever I have owned several and they really move the air flow.

Vantec Tornado 80mm Double Ball Bearing High Air Flow Case Fan - Model TD8038H
Vantec Tornado 80mm Double Ball Bearing High Air Flow Case Fan - Model TD8038H

Pros: Keeps your PC cool with amazing air flow.

Cons: A bit loud so it's best to get a fan controller panel for when you want to skype or answer the phone.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this fan to anyone.

The only thing that works on it is the pretty blue lights on the back of the control knobs.

Black STW-6002 3.5" Bay Panel 4 Ways 4 Pins Fan Speed Controller
Black STW-6002 3.5" Bay Panel 4 Ways 4 Pins Fan Speed Controller

Pros: Easy to hook up.

Cons: Was defective right out of the box, I guess that is what happens when you go cheap and from china I suppose.

Overall Review: The great news is that Newegg customer service ROCKS and gave me a full in store credit to replace it, without expecting me to ship the defective unit back to china. I am only waiting until i get paid again so i can upgrade by paying the difference for more quality product.

Disappointed...Don't Waste Your $$

EVERCOOL SB-F2 Case Cooling Fan
EVERCOOL SB-F2 Case Cooling Fan

Pros: It looks impressive, except for it's size. The description says it takes up 1 PCI slot. Well technically this may be true it will fit in one PCI slot but it's a tight fit...it's a bit oversized.

Cons: It doesn't pull much air it's specs say it pulls 42 cfm ,but the Thermaltake A2375 80mm PCI Slot Case Cooler I bought previously (specs 32 cfm) pulls a lot more air and fits much better in the slot. Plus it cost have as much as this one. Also it actually caused my video card to run hotter because it was jammed up so tight against it, and it kinda pushed my video card upwards which I didn't think was very good for it.

Overall Review: Having said that the Thermaltake A2375 80mm PCI Slot Case Cooler pulls a lot more air, I still feel that it doesn't pull enough either that's why I bought this one ,only to be even more disappointed. I don't know if i want to try another one or not. I hate to keep throwing good money away. The Thermaltake A2375 80mm PCI Slot Case Cooler is sufficient ,just barely. I just wish it was better and that these products actually did what they claim to do. I must add that this isn't Newegg's fault they are merely giving us the manufacturer's claimed specs on these product's NEWEGG still ROCKS!!! But this product doesn't .

VERY PLEASED !!!! Check it out >>>

Logitech LX 710 Laser Black 102 Normal Keys 18 Function Keys Cordless Standard Desktop
Logitech LX 710 Laser Black 102 Normal Keys 18 Function Keys Cordless Standard Desktop

Pros: I had older model Logitech Wireless Keyboard and mouse(Cordless Desktop Music System) that weren't anywhere near as responsive or reliable when pressing keys or clicking the mouse.Which can be fatal to a level 70 Nightelf Hunter when surrounded by a legion of Horde enemies...lol Plus the mouse ate even the strongest batteries faster than I could buy them. This new laser mouse not only has advanced technology that makes batteries last longer it has an off switch to save them when not in use(no more having to take the batteries out at night :).The key board is laid out much better and doesn't have that cumbersome wrist rest attachment either(+ it has a nice texture to the surface that also easier to keep clean!!! The software allows you to disable keys like CAP LOCK and the Windows key also a big + for gamers.

Cons: Well at first I didn't like the added media keys on the sides because I was constantly bumping them which as bad or worse than hitimg the Windows key in the middle of an online gaming session...but discovered that they can also be disabled...so I don't actually have any cons for this amazing keyboard and mouse set....The extra buttons and side to side mouse wheel features are programmable for different functions as well which is another HUGE PLUS!!!!

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this set for anyone ,but especailly PC gamers like myself!!!
