SABRENT SBT-STDB IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 to SATA Port Mini Converter
SABRENT SBT-STDB IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 to SATA Port Mini Converter

Pros: I have a couple of older computers I keep around just to tinker with. This worked fine connecting an old WD Caviar drive to an even older beige G3.

Cons: The pics all fit well, but the device it fairly delicate. Playing around with the G3 bit, I removed and installed the device a few times over without any issues, but it needs to be done carefully. On the sata side, I need to gently use a thin blade to wedge the device apart from the drive. I leave the drive jumper-less and use the jumpers on the board.

Overall Review: It seems like the reviews are really at odds here. It might be a problem inherent in hardware adapters, and just getting old, incompatible hardware to work together. Or, perhaps there really is a problem with with them manufacturing this product consistenly. I really can't say for sure since I own only one.

A8N-E Review

ASUS A8N-E 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS A8N-E 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Plenty of features and fairly nice layout. Chipset fan is holding up just fine for me so far. I'd rate it 5 stars if the RAM slot wasn't doa.

Cons: I really wanted to give this board a good review. I read all the reviews here before my purchase and decided that the good outweighed the bad. Well, the board came and it had a bad RAM slot (A_1) right off the bat.

Overall Review: This really is just the luck of the draw board I guess. It looks like more people are happy with it than not, so it's your choice. I'm going to keep the board and just use RAm slots A_2 & B_2. I don't intend to upgrade the RAM anyway. Nonetheless, it's my first experience with Asus and I'm not happy. Hop over to Asus's forums and look at the non-existent support. Apparently it's hell if you have problems and decide to send an item back.

JVC Black HA-RX700 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Headphone
JVC Black HA-RX700 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Headphone

Pros: Lightweight for it's size. Durable enough construction that has lasted for over a year of consistent use. Reasonably good sound. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

Cons: Low frequency sound probably won't blow you away. Build quality perfectly fine for average use, but don't expect these to be built like a tank. I won''t be taking eggs off for these. If I wanted a top of the line headphone set, then I should have coughed up the money.

Overall Review: Very good headphones for the price, and perfectly adequate for day to day use. Audio quality is always going to be subjective. If you;re an audiophile that's very picky about sound, then you should probably move on. II found that these are fine for gaming and watching moves. I've owned headphones in the past that I thought had better bass response, but those headphone also cost me allot more. They do, what I'd consider to be, an average job at shielding out ambient sounds. If you're using these in a loud environment, then your probably going to have a to turn up the volume a little. I remember first getting these from Newegg, and I the build quality might suffer since the price was pretty low. But I've have these for over a year now, and use them daily. Zero issues with the cabling or frame. No sound issues either. The bottom of the right cup has a very small tear, but this can be caused by just regular use. In the end, I'm happy I bought these.

CyberPower Intelligent LCD UPS CP1350AVRLCD 1350 VA 815 Watts 10 Outlets UPS
CyberPower Intelligent LCD UPS CP1350AVRLCD 1350 VA 815 Watts 10 Outlets UPS

Pros: Unfortunately I live in a rural area where the infrastructure isn't as up too par as I'd like. Before buying this, I had lost multiple pieces of equipment over the years. Graphics cards, hard drives, RAM, power supply, and eventually a whole motherboard. While I cannot claim with absolute ceratainty that all of those were due to voltage spikes or brownouts, I can say that I've had this UPS for close to a year now and all my electrical problems have vanished. In addition to the poor electrical service during adverse conditions, there are full power outages due to winter storms here. There already has been several instances this winter where I needed to do a full shutdown, and the Cyberpower UPS did it's job.

Cons: None. It works exactly as advertised.

Overall Review: My stereo, computer, PS3, and 42" LCD monitor are all hooked into the fused portion. Minus the PS3, the rest have been on during an outage. As I recall, I had approximately ten minutes to turn everything off, signifigantly more with the LCD off. More than enough time for me.

Happy with the modem

Pros: Easy to setup, works great.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I bought a Motorola SB5120 from a certain online auction site. This was a bad move, and I should have went Newegg from the beginning. The Motorola frequesntly disconnected and online gaming was basically impossible. I installed this modem today and it's been running absolutely perfectly right out of the box.

Very nice PSU

XG Magnum PSMG-500-B2 500 W ATX 2.0 Modular Active PFC Module Connector, Super Silent Power Supply

Pros: -Temp monitor -High quality -Quiet

Cons: Not a con per say, but it would be nice if you could switch the light off in the back. It's not too bad though... Plus I knew it was there before I bought it so I won't take any eggs off.

Overall Review: Wow. This thing really seems like a high quality piece. I knew it was going to be a little big. The width almost 2mm too big. The depth was fine, but I needed to remove a support brace on the inside of the case. This was made perfectly clear before the purchase to I has the cutting tools already on the table when the case came in from Newegg. Great power supply!

Great customer service

I had shipping difficulties initially, but it was a problem with my local post office and not the seller. In fact, this seller went out of their way to make things right, and we both agreed to have the item redelivered to my employers address. The seller was easy to message through Newegg, and was polite and prompt with their replies. The item looks perfect and I would absolutely order again from them. Sometimes the tracking information lags, especially if it changes couriers. I found that being patient and kindly asking for an update provided the solution I was looking for.
