Most Favorable Review

Works Great

UNITEK 4 port USB 3.0 Hub Compact hub with a Built-in 1ft USB 3.0 Cable for Laptops, Ultrabooks and Tablet PCs with USB Ports, bus-powered required no external power supply
UNITEK 4 port USB 3.0 Hub Compact hub with a Built-in 1ft USB 3.0 Cable for Laptops, Ultrabooks and Tablet PCs with USB Ports, bus-powered required no external power supply

Pros: Fast transfer speeds. Doesn't seem to be any slower than running directly to the USB 3.0 port. Ports are spaced well apart.

Cons: Cord is rather short at about 12 inches.

Overall Review: Works great, just wish the cord was longer.

Difficult, but works

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Good speed, price, and capacity. Tested drive with no errors.

Cons: Very difficult installation if you have a Sata 1.5Gbps Mobo. Would it have been so hard to just put a jumper on the back like every other drive? Drive froze up during windows loading before I flashed it to limit to 1.5Gbps speed. For those having trouble with freezing if you look in the FAQs on the samsung site you can download a bootable CD iso to flash the drive to 1.5Gbps speed. Once I did that, I was able to format and partition the drive as normal.

Overall Review: For those having trouble with freezing if you look in the FAQs on the samsung site you can download a bootable CD iso to flash the drive to 1.5Gbps speed. Once I did that, I was able to format and partition the drive as usual. Please note that my review is solo for the setup of the drive on a 1.5Gbps MOBO. If you have a 3.0Gbps board you will probably have no problems.

Works Great

PNY 64GB Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD64GTBOP-GE)
PNY 64GB Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD64GTBOP-GE)

Pros: Good transfer speed. Writing a 1GB file to it averages about 38MB/Sec. Came already formatted FAT32. No Flashing LED is nice.

Cons: Sliding cover is a bit stiff to open and close. Slightly larger than some of my USB drives. No big deal.

Overall Review: Overall, great little drive

Decent burner

Electric Igniter Portable Propane Gas Stove Range Camping
Electric Igniter Portable Propane Gas Stove Range Camping

Pros: Decent power, auto igniter, ready to cook with

Cons: Lower than rated BTU, Goes out for no reason occasionally

Overall Review: Used this burner for a large (30 Cubic Feet) home-built, insulated smoker. It gets hot enough to smoke just about everything, except for turkey which I would prefer to smoke up around 325 degrees. The burner is very large, so keep that in mind if space is an issue. It is a low pressure regulator so don't expect large flames like you get from a camp stove, just a lot of small, short flames. I have compared the output to my 30K BTU camp stove, and it is substantially less power than what it is rated. I would guess more like 15K-20K BTU. The only other problem I have had is that the burner will randomly go out from time to time, even with no wind, and even though it has a wind screen built around it with vent holes for oxygen. If I had a smaller smoker, and could get past the problem of it going out on it's own, it might have been perfect.

Ixtreme Burner Max

Pros: Works great for Xbox 360 with the Ixtreme Burner Max firmware. No more truncating to burn newer games.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Keep in mind this is OEM, so it does not come with a sata cable.

Great first LCD

ASUS VH222H Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor Built in Speakers 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR20000:1) w/ SPDIF out
ASUS VH222H Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor Built in Speakers 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR20000:1) w/ SPDIF out

Pros: Excellent picture, colors look great out of the box, great resolution, no dead pixels, 3 inputs. My 2nd one will be on order soon!

Cons: Finish attracts dust quickly. As in, needs to be dusted every day. Not really a con, but I didn't realize how much more video card power it would take to run games in widescreen. I have a mediocre Geforce 8600GT and can't run WoW in low settings with the desktop resolution above 1680x1050 without dropping my FPS down to under 10.

Overall Review: Replacing a very nice, but aging 19" flat screen CRT that I have been dreading replacing with an LCD for years. I have been reading all the reviews about dead pixels, backlight bleeding, etc and putting it off. The price was so good on this I finally took the plunge and am very happy I did. The extra screen real estate is awesome!

Offered refund, but questionable pricing practices

The item I ordered apparently became "out of stock" after I ordered so they offered me a comparable, different brand for a small refund. It worked fine, but it seemed odd that immediately after this same seller was selling the same "out of stock" item for more money than I paid originally.

Terrible Customer Service

Worst experience I have ever had on NewEgg. Ordered a case and accessory bundle for my tablet. They sent me the wrong case, and none of the accessories, but want me to pay return shipping to get a refund after demanding that I send them pictures of the item I received TWICE. Definitely will not be buying from them again.
