Probably a good BluRay Player
Pros: Plays Netflix, and Youtube! The Menu system is nice and easy to navigate. Got it for cheap with 3 HDMI cables - Woo combo deals! Not using wireless, so I get a free USB wireless adapter!
Cons: Wouldn't read Discs - already contacted LG and they will replace it.
Overall Review: All the software worked great, Netflix, Youtube was easy enough to use. It detected my USB drive and played all the movies I gave it. Just the disc drive seems to be the problem, it keeps telling me "No Disc" But as I said I contacted LG. It probably was damaged in shipping or something for this doesn't seem to be a common problem, So I don't mind and I wouldn't take away eggs for its probably not Neweggs, or LGs fault. Im just happy they will replace it!
Cheap, and slow.
Pros: Durable, Small, Cheap.
Cons: Slow! very slow!
Overall Review: If your going to be moving a lot of files, just look at another drive. I don't think I would ever use this as a main drive. The main use for these things to me is that they are durable and you get get a high volume of them for a good price. I don't have to worry if friends or family will remember to return a flashdrive they borrowed. I don't have to look around 5 minutes for a flash drive exc.
Quiet and Smooth sailing so far?
Pros: Runs all my games very well. Quiet - Fans idle at 18% and Ive never seen them past 25% when gaming.
Cons: Requires two 6pins which could be an issue for some modular PSUs that don't have a lot of ports. Fan speeds above ~35% become quite audible. - Only an issue if you want to set up your own fan profiles.
Overall Review: Quick note on the screen flickering/shaking issue. I am unsure if I have actually experienced it. I have experienced shaking with 1 specific game with certain circumstances, so this might just be an issue with the game. I cant make a definitive answer on which is culprit though. This is a notable upgrade from my old 5770. I don't play a lot of intensive games, but it is nice to be able to play new releases with no need to turn graphic settings down, and its really nice to no longer hear my graphics card through my headphones
Great card
Pros: Because the antenna is on a cord you can have it in a position where your case doesn't block the signal. Supports 5Ghz . Comes with a low profile bracket if you want to install it into a slim machine.
Cons: You do need to manually install drivers for Win7. - Windows 10 Tech preview I didn't. The two cords for the antenna are quite easy to mix up. No Bluetooth.
Overall Review: Mixing up the "Ant1" and "Ant2" cables halves your connection speed, which is very easy to mix up if you have to screw them in at an awkward angle behind a desk. It would be nice if the cords were a bit different from each other (like making the end of one have a black stripe or something) My solution was that I put a little black rubber ring, from an unused hard drive bracket around Antenna 2.
You get what you pay for
Pros: It's a 4 pack, should be more then enough for 1 or 2 PCs. Likely to be better than the fans that come in cheap/old cases.
Cons: Well they are cheap fans, so don't expect them to be as good as the more expensive ones.
Overall Review: I wouldn't call these "silent" but they are quieter than a lot of fans Ive seen in prebuilt machines or cheap cases. Ive always had a pack or two of these laying around since they usually come in handy when a fan is dying, or someone puts their finger in the case and breaks a fanblade. I'll have to stress though. These aren't that great of fans, but they do preform better then one would expect from a $2-4 fan. Their general usefulness and price are the only reason Id give this 5 eggs.
Nice mouse
Pros: Quite comfortable. Back + Forward thumb buttons that aren't too easy to press, but not to hard to press ether.. Scroll wheel has good amount of resistance.
Cons: Laser is in an odd position.
Overall Review: The laser isn't in the center of the mouse, so at first it feels a little odd. Ive gotten used to it though within a day. Really that is like any mouse. You get so used to your old one, it breaks so you get a new one. It feels a bit strange at first, but you eventually get used to it. That cycle will repeat again when your new one breaks in a couple of years.
