Wowzers
Pros: 1. Built in 1394 - 2. built in 1gig ethernet - 3. NO built in vga - 4. Easy access sata connectors + built in raid array styles. - 5. WELL thought out layout, my fat fingers were able to plug in all the wires, connectors, jumpers with limited to no problems. - 6. Claims to run your CPU 10 Degrees C. cooler regardless your heatsink/fan, and it DOES - 7. BIOS Settings ROCK everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is customizable, and or overclockable WOOT - 8. WONDERFUL booklet with LOTS of info covering EVERY detail, NOT just an easy install guide }:[
Cons: Not really a con, but difficult to work around, the North Bridge heatsink.
Overall Review: NB heatsink is big, and completely copper. I love this board. But I've only owned it for around a week and a few days. Break in time for mb's as with all hardware takes around a month to see the actual problems. But even if it did, I'd gladly go for a replacement vs hunting for a more reliable board.
Not to impressed
Pros: Cheap price, with a fair amount of nice features. It's an intel.
Cons: Placement of sata slots to close for easy removal and installation, didn't read my extreme performance ram at the right timings. It has built in graphx (bleh). I know there's os software to finetune board settings, but it would be nice to be able to finish the os install first without issues:/ read below
Overall Review: I had to rma it, after 10 installs of windows xp pro, I had random different errors on many different things. Including, ram, floppy controller, built in nic. Got it to install once, but no network capability, even after getting it to actually find the network hardware, and forcing addresses, + checking for conflicting irqs. Pretty sure the board was just faulty though. I'd give it a 2 because of this but, the price and the built in 1gig eth, 1394 and sound make up a LOT of my thought on this board. Huh, it's amazing to think when 1394 came out cheap cards where 250 bucks, now its built into a 100 dollar mb. Give em a year or 2 and we'll have built in ppu's too. ,,,, yes I am an intel boi, and proud of it :P
Great for refurbished
Pros: Very fast i5 7th gen, 8 gb ram, dedicated gfx, fast ssd and large hdd. 7th gen intel for $500.
Cons: Refurbished, limited 30 day parts warranty. I couldn't buy 4.
Overall Review: I bought 3 of them, a long time waiting upgrade for the wife and children, plenty of storage for their needs. One of the ac inverter/chargers doesn't work, going to have to contact newegg support to figure out what can be done. Got a 1 year warranty with each, an extra 55 per machine, but, two of the pcs are for children, nuff said. Trying to get the children into video editing, programming, and maybe light competitive gaming :D So far these devices seem to be ready for challenge, now I just gotta figure out a fix for the waterworks when they loose in the pvps. Thankfully these devices were fully wiped before they made it to me, no leftover personal information, no factory resets, just purchase and install of a full security suite, and a full scan for malware and rootkits, just to be sure. I usually don't buy refurbished, but I must admit so far, I am very pleased with the purchase.
Comfortable, nice looking, but cost value not there.
Pros: It's generally comfortable to sit on, tilting / rocking action. Looks nice, has arms, isn't completely faux leather. Hasn't been destroyed by my cat... yet...
Cons: Arms are not padded, arms are fixed, faux leather.
Overall Review: Honestly, it's not worth the $250 I paid for it. My last chair was of similar material quality, had adjustable arms, adjustable back, tilted/rocked and cost $80 less.... Stupid cat...
First time with AMD
Pros: 8 cores, 4.7 ghz, easy to overclock.
Cons: Wish it came with a cheese sandwich?
Overall Review: I usually go with Intel CPU's but couldn't beat the price vs the cores + clocks. I am very happy with my purchase so far.
750 Watts of joy
Pros: 750W, great price, pretty
Cons: No modular cabling
I'd buy from them again.
My xbox controller arrived quickly, worked properly. I'd work with this seller again.
Ordered white, got black, glad I did.
While I am pleased with the product, I do find it disconcerting that the product I ordered claimed white, with no option, yet I got a black one. That being said I prefer black so I am actually more pleased with the product. However I would expect that if a company was out of stock of one or the other option they would contact their customer to better service them.
Pleased with the product
Glad the product works as described. Shipping was fast.
