Most Favorable Review

good stuff as usual

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ

Pros: Switched to G.Skill last year when both my crucial ballistix 1gb modules died on me; 6 months after buying it. Very impressed with the G.Skill 2x 1GB modules so I decided to go with them again for 2x 2GB modules to take advantage of my recent purchase of W7x64. So far so good. Timings look fine and no errors.

Cons: No G.SKill stickers :( Got some for the lower priced 1gb modules but nothing for the 2gb modules. Guess everyone is cutting back these days

Overall Review: Oh, price jumped up about ten bones by the time I put it in my wish list to I got paid and bought it :(

Most Critical Review

it's ok

EDIMAX EW-7128G Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
EDIMAX EW-7128G Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: -installs easy -connect easy

Cons: -software utility is junk. cant open it up unless I reboot -range could be better. If you plan on any distance, get something else or get a better antennae to go with it, which is what I plan on doing

Overall Review: Newegg again with the quick processing and shipping!!!

best case around

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0

Pros: on over 4000 reviews, this is sitting at 82% at just 3300 people have given it 5 eggs. Nothing needs to be added to to the review that others have said. I personally like the front fans for HD cooling as I just lost a $150 raptor due to over heating. Now my temps are supper cool

Cons: One thing that is a pain is due to all the fans and vents, it's now a dust magnet. I have to clear off globs of dust from the front vents every 2 weeks but that just means my baby is staying cool

Overall Review: A+++++++++ will buy again

maybe this one will last this time

VANTEC HDC-701A-BL Aluminum Aluminum Hard Driver Cooler
VANTEC HDC-701A-BL Aluminum Aluminum Hard Driver Cooler

Pros: Bought the older version back in 2006 (VANTEC HDC-701A-BK) and remember it lasting for 3-5 months before the noise got too loud. Which is better the last one I got (Dynatron DH1205SO-C 3.5) so we'll see...

Cons: only last a few months

Overall Review: cheap. I bought 4 of them this time to last me a while

good while it lasts

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804

Pros: Rock solid and fast while it lasted. Dirt cheap

Cons: Bought these over a year ago and a stick just died on me. I read somewhere that some models have been discontunied due to high fail rates. Do your research!

Overall Review: First time with Crucial and probably the last. Will stick with other manufactures for a while

stay away

Dynatron DH1205SO-C 3.5" LED HDD Cooler
Dynatron DH1205SO-C 3.5" LED HDD Cooler

Pros: 1. looks pretty 2. dirt cheap

Cons: 2nd fan started making a very loud humming sound after only 1 month

Overall Review: I would rather pay 3 times as much to get a fan that lasts a decent amount of time
