A4-6300
Pros: Good graphics and CPU.
Cons: None
Overall Review: On my most recent build the GPU showed up as a 6.6 on WEI. Not bad for an on board (chip?) graphics.
Range Extender
Pros: Absolutely none
Cons: See other thoughts...
Overall Review: This is a follow up on a previous review and after many hours of trying to get these things to connect and stay connected I give up. This has to be the absolute worst purchase I have ever made. Don't waste your money these things are JUNK!! Wish there was a minus egg selection.
ARCTIC Alpine 64 GT
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Manufacturer product page say it is compatible with AM4 but the hold down tabs are too wide to fit ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX mother board.
Overall Review: Had to trim one of the tabs to get it to fit.
Cooler Master Elite 110
Pros: Perfect size for my HTPC. Reasonably priced. Easy drive installation.
Cons: The front 120mm fan is a 3 pin connector and the fan is LOUD. Tight quarters, plan ahead during installation of components.
Overall Review: Will be replacing front fan with 140mm Noctua 4 pin connector fan. Hopefully this will bring down the fan noise.
SILVERSTONE SST-NT08-115XP
Pros: Low profile, copper core, lower CPU temps.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Wow...tight fit but everything clears in my Asrock Deskmini case. Thought I'd have to remove the first stick of memory but the fan when installed has about 1/16" clearance for the memory stick. Whew!!
ASUS Desktop PC VivoMini VC66
Pros: None
Cons: On the overview page it showed accommodations for 2 HDD/SSD drives but there was no drive caddie of hook up for a second HDD/SSD.
Overall Review: I have been ordering computer parts from Newegg for over 14 years and have had little need to RMA products until the last 3 orders. Within the last 2 months I've had to replace an SSD that I suspect the package had been opened before and couldn't be written to, replaced a laptop, and now I'm returning this item for (I hope) a refund. Customer service is the best but the quality of their products is lacking. I suspect I'm getting merchandise that has been returned. Just my feeling but I'm greatly disappointed. Just my opinion.
Shipping
Ordered this March 3rd, today is March 5th and all thats been done so far is a shipping label has been issued. So far their shipping practices are a little sloooow.
Sloooow Shipping
Shipped from Sterling Va. to which I can drive in about 7 hours from my home but they were able to take the entire 5 days for it to arrive. Some kind of UPS and USPS delivery. Don't order any thing from here unless you're willing to pay through the nose for quicker shipping. Dumbest shipping ever. From now on I will not buy from anyone except newegg. Will never buy anything from World Wide Stereo again.
Bracket
Wait for delivery was so long I found other brackets that were delivered in 2 days. These will be for use in the future. Ordered 5-18-13, estimated delivery time 5-28-13 via UPS. Way too long for delivery. Will not order from these folks again.
