Most Favorable Review

Great!

Panasonic Wet/Dry Shaver with Ultra-thin Vibrating Outer Foil, Nanotech Blades, 4-Blade, Multi-Flexible Active Head, and Fast, Linear Motor Drive ES-LA93-K
Panasonic Wet/Dry Shaver with Ultra-thin Vibrating Outer Foil, Nanotech Blades, 4-Blade, Multi-Flexible Active Head, and Fast, Linear Motor Drive ES-LA93-K

Pros: Best shaver I've ever used to date. Dominates the cheap competition. You really can feel the difference stepping up to something of quality. Gets very close, even in uneven areas, including the neck. The trimmer is also amazing. It locks in place, and often when my hair grows out too long I'll clean everything up with the trimmer. It's powered by the same motor so doesn't snag and get's very close also! I bought this thinking being able to shave wet would be a huge advantage but this shaver is so excellent I've never even tried.

Cons: Literally none. Even the battery life is amazing!

Most Critical Review

Pray you don't have to warranty

Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels
Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels

Pros: The slides seem sturdy.

Cons: The 3-pin wire leads that connect the fans to the controller are very fragile. One of mine came dead on arrival.

Overall Review: I'm not sure the company NZXT actually exists. I have attempted to contact their customer service twice, both by direct email and using their form on the website. I was trying to save them and Newegg wasted money of an entire RMA when all I need is a new 3-pin wire. Apparently they only respond to negative reviews on Newegg.

Still going...

APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: I've had this power supply in a box for six years this April. That alone speaks for itself. Does the job, and lasts.

Cons: Not worth $40 these days with modular supplies and the like floating around, but if you caught it on sale, I've had nothing but good luck with it.

Board = Meh, Tech Support and Rebate = bleh

MSI 770-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 770-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Decent board, some good qualities. Bios not as awful as some have previously stated and I anticipated. CPU location is in a less than accommodating location for an aftermarket HSF, as it has covered up two of my ram slots.

Cons: MSI's "technical support" is laughable. Don't except any help for this board beyond the most mediocre of problems that even your grandmother can solve. I called three times regarding assistance with core unlocking and some bio settings, only to be referred to a Google search for the work "overclocking". The next call I placed, I was told my AMD x2 555 BE was not designed to be a quad core so it won't work. That's odd, considering countless others have done it. Tell me MSI, exactly what is the point of a core unlocking feature in your bios if its not designed for that specific purpose? Again, why did I purchase your board?

Overall Review: Thank the internets for having people more capable than the people who designed the board. Oh, and your rebate turnaround comes in dead last out of 6 different companies all sent simultaneously. Congratulations on failing in so many categories.

Meets my wildest expectations

SILVERSTONE Precision Series PS05-B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Tool-less Installation Design Computer Case
SILVERSTONE Precision Series PS05-B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Tool-less Installation Design Computer Case

Pros: This case performs well out of its price range. 1. Includes dust fan filters 2. Black interior looks very nice 3. Fits the ever popular Cool Master Hyper 212 CPU Fan just perfectly (right on the nose) 4. Solid metal design, not too heavy or overly thick. 5. Simple yet accessible top mounted USB/audio

Cons: 1. It would have been nice to have another dust fan filter. Mine only came with two, and I'd like a push/pull setup. 2. Only one included fan, but I knew what I was purchasing.

Overall Review: I wasn't looking for the obnoxious flashing neon lights and clear side panels. I wanted a simple, sleek, elegant case that I could make cool and quiet. I had plenty of room for cable management. PSU is bottom mounted so without a modular PSU you can simply zip tie and bundle the excess cables at the bottom of the case below the hard drive(s).

Fast, Fast, Fast Rebate!

Pros: I am still assembling parts for my computer and have yet to view the case (still in box). This post is to counteract the previous post about the rebate. This company by far has the fastest rebate I've ever received. Literally 2-3 weeks. It's also easier, as it does not require a online form, or other bogus confirmation. I would say the previous 1 egg review did not send the items in a timely fashion.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: I will update this post in the future as to the quality of the case.
