Great clip

ZALMAN ZM-CS5A CPU Cooler Clip for Intel Socket 1155/1156/775
ZALMAN ZM-CS5A CPU Cooler Clip for Intel Socket 1155/1156/775

Pros: Does what it's supposed to. Holds my zalman cnsp 9700 to my i5-2500k on my asrock z68 extreme3 gen3 motherboard.

Cons: Kind of a pain to get installed, but not enough to drop an egg.

Overall Review: Price was $5.99 + 2.99 shipping. Before the item even arrived, newegg dropped the price to $6.99 + free shipping. I felt cheated. I contacted them and told them this, they refunded me $2.00, no questions asked. Newegg customer service rocks!

Meh

Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)
Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

Pros: Tech support Not bad range DD-WRT

Cons: A week after I bought this, the wifi didn't work. It didn't display the SSID, but all the computers that were wired to it still had an internet connection. Sent it back, got replacement. The range is mediocre. I mean... my router is half way underground and reaches about 100ft around my 2 story house. Not a whole lot further than my other router. I personally don't see the big hype about this router.

Overall Review: Tech support was extremely fast and helpful, even refunded 12 bucks that it took to ship the router to RMA it. Thank you Viola

It's okay

Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDCR120GB
Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDCR120GB

Pros: Boots windows MUCH quicker than mechanical drive. Shortcuts open quicker than I can move my mouse. Wasn't DOA, no noise, low power and heat.

Cons: BIG HEADS UP FOR THOSE GOING TO BUY THEIR FIRST SSD I don't know if this is true for all drives, or just this one, but using a sata III cable and the sata III port on my motherboard, I get apprx. 120mb/s transfer speed of a 20gb folder. This is "real world" speeds according to "Sean" from Mushkin support. Only using the program "Atto" do I achieve the advertised speeds. Other programs like AS SSD never reach anywhere close to that, apparently it uses "uncompressed data" or something. Anyway, I think this is very deceitful, to use the highest possible speeds under "non real world scenarios" and advertise them. Descriptions should at least say "speeds may vary in real world situations". 3/5 eggs simply for that. Otherwise it would have been 5/5. Don't you hate that feeling you get when you get a 1tb hard drive and it's only 931gb? You'll get the same feeling with this drive.

Overall Review: Newegg customer service is amazing. I said I bought this drive for $118.99 a few days ago and feel cheated that it's only $99.99 now, and they refunded me the difference, no questions asked.

Awesome ram

Pros: WOW this thing kills my e8500 for bf3. My fps went from around 20 to 60 with my hd 5870. Talk about bottleneck!

Cons: Pricier than AMD cpu's, but totally worth it.
