Most Favorable Review

No OS, memory or HDD!

Netbook Barebone
Netbook Barebone

Pros: No operating system, no RAM and no hard drive! Barebones - that's the definition. Had to look this up on the mfgr's website. Should be listed in the NewEgg description IMO.

Cons: Great price!

Most Critical Review

Wrong Bracket in Box!

XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler with Stealth Aerospace Industry Thermal conductive ceramic coating LGA1150 Haswell Compatible
XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler with Stealth Aerospace Industry Thermal conductive ceramic coating LGA1150 Haswell Compatible

Pros: Top rated cooler.

Cons: Came w/ wrong bracket - verified by Xigmatek. The top bracket comes in 2 pieces, and one of the two was from their "old" line and would not fit the holes in the motherboard or the back plate bracket. Ended up finding another Dark Knight locally w/ help from Xigmatek, from which I robbed the correct bracket. I'm going to return the Newegg Dark Knight.

Overall Review: I'm not particularly enamored w/ the way the fan attaches, using little pieces of rubber. It might be great for isolating any noise from the fan, but it doesn't attach tiightly and during the build, I actually knocked it off once! Best to install the cooler prior to mounting the moboard in the case. It's a big honkin' cooler, but it fit in my Antec mid-tower case...

Top Rated PSU

SeaSonic M12D SS-750 750 W ATX12V V2.3/EPS12V V2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SeaSonic M12D SS-750 750 W ATX12V V2.3/EPS12V V2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Has all the goodies.

Cons: Not impressed w/ the quality of the Molex connectors. Had trouble w/ 2 of them - pins not aligning w/ female side connectors. Also, hard to visually recognize the correct orientation of the plug. Disappointing quality for such a "top quality" product.

Overall Review: Haven't fired up the system yet - still building. So I really can't evaluate all of the PSU's functions.
