Most Critical Review

Long and painful story

ASRock K8Upgrade-NF3 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock K8Upgrade-NF3 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: - Great Upgrade path (Assuming it becomes available). - Inexpensive.

Cons: - Poor manufacturing quality. - Poor manual. - Non standard connection for power LED.

Overall Review: I had problems with the first board that Newegg sent (could not get a POST and no BIOS beeps). Turns out it was my fault for not removing a post in my case from my previous MB. Newegg sent a new (refurbished) board and I figured out the post thing with this second board. If there had been an anti-corrisive seal on the board the post would never had shorted some of the solder joints togeather. The manual is written in 7 different languages so only the minimum information is included. ASROCK did respond to my second e-mail for technical assistance. However, their response was "take your stuff to newegg and let them help you out." Overall: The board has been reliable. Newegg ROCKS when dealing with RMA's. But I would still recommend spending a few more bucks for a more popular board.

Fantastic

Seems Great

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Graphite (D5D-00001)
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Graphite (D5D-00001)

Pros: Works well. Smooth scroll wheel. Only one AA battery.

Cons: Does feel a little cheap. Plastic on/off switch.

Overall Review: Overall I would buy this again if it proves to be durable enough. I'm using it for a home based computer and it is working well. I wouldn't recommend this mouse if you plan on using it for a laptop and taking it everywhere.
