Most Favorable Review

Cheap and quiet

TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Never hear it (though my power supply is really noisy). Hitting 140 MB/s Read speed. Scored really well (especially for the price) on Tom's Hardware.

Cons: None so far. About a month and a half of use as my secondary drive to a small SSD drive. Has most of the programs installed to it.

Not an Apple product

Pros: Cheap (half the price of the cord at the Apple Store). Charges.

Cons: This may work fine for you, but the cable is thinner than the one that came with the phone and is easily damaged. So if you carry this around with you, probably won't last that long. This is my wife's cord and she claims that it takes longer for her phone to charge than with the original cable. Not sure how that could be, but it is cheaply made.

Excellent SSD

Pros: Inexpensive and works.

Cons: None found yet

Overall Review: Needed to get some more room on C: drive and this did the trick.

Easy to set up, works well

NETGEAR WNDR4000-100NAR N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab Manufacturer Recertified
NETGEAR WNDR4000-100NAR N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab Manufacturer Recertified

Pros: Very easy to set up. Just changed the name of the name of the network and password to my old router's and was up and running in minutes.

Cons: USB drive is really slow, getting speeds much less than the network is capable of.

Overall Review: I've bought nothing for the last 5 years for routers but these refurbished ones from newegg. Only had a few minor issues with my previous netgear and this one works like a champ so far.

Pros: Plug in and they worked. Easily fit and no issues with the cooling fins.

Cons: None

Nice Mobo

Pros: Plenty of slots. Paper work that comes with it was helpful to find all the connections for someone who doesn't regularly build PCs. I comes with some interesting software including a "XFastUSB" that's supposed to speed up USB drives. Tested it some and it actually works a little, though nothing earth shattering. A couple of MBps on my USB 3.0 external drive, but only a small percentage boost, definitely not the 5X claims in the product description. Has some other software as well, but haven't really tested those. Has some robust overclocking tools in the BIOS, but I'm not much of an overclocker. It also comes with overclocking windows software as well, which is the only way I overclock (so I can turn it off and on as needed).

Cons: No onboard USB 3.0 for case connections, but that's in the description and normal at this price range.
