Most Favorable Review

Well made, great sound, even in a non-standard application

Energy by Klipsch Power Bar Elite Sound Bar w/ Wireless Subwoofer
Energy by Klipsch Power Bar Elite Sound Bar w/ Wireless Subwoofer

Pros: - Great, crystal clear sound - Extremely easy setup - Individual power sources for each speaker set (Sub and Bar) - Big sound in a small package - Simple operation - Sleek and attractive form factor

Cons: - Lots of extra packaging - Included optical cable could be a few feet longer

Overall Review: Disclaimer - I use these as my PC speakers so I have no reference related to any type of typical television application. For the purpose I use them for I feel I couldn't have made a better choice. I wanted a smaller form factor surround system for my home PC and I didn't want all the hassle of installing a 7.1 system so I started investigating PC surround bar systems. FYI, the PC versions I found mostly suck. They just didn't fit what I wanted, which was clear sound reproduction, fits under and behind my monitors (sound bar), separate sub, minimal wires, lots of response, able to get loud when needed and have an optical input. Well these do exactly all of that plus some. One nice surprise was the remote control. It is small making it easy to keep out of the way, simple and I use it more than I thought I would because it's always easy to reach. Another surprise was that it comes with two power cords (one external transformer for the bar [like a laptop power cord] and one internal for the sub). This makes it very simple to put the sub anywhere your want because the sound bar doesn't have to draw it's power from the sub transformer. I've watched DVD movies, streamed Pandora, Hulu, played video games and watched HBO Go and all have been crystal clear, even in 3D mode. I'm very happy with this system and gladly give it 5 eggs!

Cost effective and better than I thought

Pros: Got it for my son as he heads to college. So far it's been very reliable, powerful enough for him to do what he wants (music, movies, tv, Office, etc). It's large widescreen is great for viewing most things.

Cons: Just a little heavy but not really a bother.

Overall Review: Nice machine for the money! I'd definately get another if I had to do it over again.

Good Stuff

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: Thermal conductivity of this product is ranked near the top of the chart. Aplicator is useful. There are no instructions for those that don't know how to apply. Get a retail version if you need instructions.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: The price is right on from Newegg! There is enough paste for at least 5 new processors or 5 errors in application. I buy almost everything from Newegg and haven't had a problem yet.
