Looking good so far
Pros: Good selection of connectors: 2 SLI connectors, sSATA, 6 Molex, ample power, sleeved cables, very quiet (for me at least), 2 SLI connectors, sSATA, 6 Molex,
Cons: Single 12v rail - not sure how many video cards 25 A can support, the 6 molex connectors are all sleeved together - could make it difficult reaching a spread of drives
Overall Review: 5 minutes with a sharp knife freed the drive connectors - now I can power the drives at the front of the case and external power at rear at the same time.
NOt as described. My sample does not support AMD CPUs
Pros: Price, other reviews, fantastic bang for the buck. IF IT HAD WORKED!
Cons: Newegg site says AMD, shows AMD clip in the product pictures but the package I received only mentions Intel 115x compatibility and no AMD clip
Overall Review: Not much more to say. I did not get to try it. Newegg did promise to refund my money (thank you) but it Is still vexing to wait several more days to get a replacement, and have to pay significantly more for it.
Great on paper
Pros: Nice and fast, zippy even, quiet, stays cool. Well specified. Fantastic package for the price. 8GB, 1TB, i5-2520m - it all looks good.
Cons: Installed AVG antivirus; found 2 malware items immediately and 20 more over the next hour. And the sound does not work. Device manager shows drivers loaded and devices working, volume mixer shows nothing disabled, all sliders mid range but no sound on built-in speakers or headphones.
Overall Review: A disappointing experience. It seems that Microsoft Authorized Refurbished does guarantee perfection. Waiting to see how warranty works
Disapppointing
Pros: Big and cheap
Cons: Amazingly slow. Tested by copying folder of files onto the drive, First test - write speed a shade over 3MB/sec. Second test: 2 MB/sec. Read speed was 13MB/sec.
Overall Review: Trying to decide between refund or replacement
Could be a bargain
Pros: Amazing price for wide format up to 13x19, pigment ink near waterproof, fast black printing, I'm generally pleased with the performance.
Cons: Limited number of paper types, very slow borderless (Drivers assume I could only want to print a photograph without borders) It does tend to clog about every 50 pages, but so far it's always cleaned up properly at first attempt until it died "general error" after 5 weeks. Awaiting replacement under warranty
Powerful stamps
Marked as "shipped" almost immediately but it was several days before USPS received the packet. And the stamps were exactly as described, so no real problem. If I need stamps in a hurry, I go to the post office!
