Great buy!

Kingston DataTraveler 100 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model DT100/8GB
Kingston DataTraveler 100 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model DT100/8GB

Pros: Cheap. Kingston quality. Large capacity. No cap needed. Fairly quick. Green LED light isn't annoyingly noticeable. Looks nice (pictures don't do it justice). Lanyard/key chain attachment. Thin enough to allow use of neighboring USB port. Cheap. Runs portable software fairly quickly. Ready boost (for what it's worth). No useless software preinstalled. Overall awesome!

Cons: None that would detract from the usefulness of the flash drive. Does NOT come with a lanyard but... so what? I have a lanyard already for my job and I've got a MILLION key chain rings laying around. Either of those only cost a dollar or two at MOST anyway. Seriously if your main concern is a lanyard you probably should not be allowed near a PC. Really.

Overall Review: Kingston delivers a winner with this flash drive (and we all already know Newegg rocks!). It is a perfect balance of price/performance. It really does look better in hand then in photo. Can't go wrong, buy it!

Good product not so great support

ASUS Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity EAH6870/2DI2S/1GD5
ASUS Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity EAH6870/2DI2S/1GD5

Pros: Ran great, played every game I own beautifully without a hiccup. Looks great. Ran very cool and VERY quite at stock fan settings. Price/Performance.

Cons: I want to star out by saying that this is the first 1 egg review I have ever given. ASUS RMA support. Product failed after ~ 36 days. I usually don't buy products the day/week they are released for just this reason. It's unfortunate but it does happen even to great companies like ASUS. However, I've spent almost a month and a half now trying to get ASUS to replace my faulty graphics card to no avail. I'm currently waiting on the phone as I type this review and have not yet been connected to an actual person. Support for their motherboards has been amazing over the years but this has really been a disappointment.

Overall Review: I've always bought ASUS products and in the course of 10+ years have never had a problem until now. I wish I could say that I will remain confident in ASUS products as, like I've mentioned, they have always been top notch. But this lack of service and very poor support has left a pretty bad impression on my overall experience as I have been without a graphics card for about a month and a half with no sign at all that my issues will be taken care of due to a product failure on their part.

Fast, cheap, sturdy!

CORSAIR Voyager GT 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFVYGT3-16GB
CORSAIR Voyager GT 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFVYGT3-16GB

Pros: Faster than advertised! Rubber grip feels good in hand and is very "rugged" feeling. Dropped on floor from ~ 4 feet to test a few times and the drive just tumbled away like nothing ever happened. Plugged in works like a champ! Price is great for size/speed USB 3.0 is amazing.

Cons: Cap has snug fit but it is still a removable (read as "going to get lost at some point") cap. Perhaps a bit thick which can sometimes be a problem in tight spaces or when having two side by side flash drives.

Overall Review: I'd buy another in a heart beat. Reliable, rugged and fast for a great price. Yes please!!

works!

WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter - Retail
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter - Retail

Pros: Class 10 great value. Gets ~ advertised speeds for a class 10 micro. Depending on the file size/number of files can get over class 10 speeds. Comes with case and adapter. Bought for my Nook Tablet and never looked back! I'd buy again, in fact I AM going to buy again, right now, in another tab. Bought.

Cons: Is not an Autobot. #MakesMyHeartSuperSad

Overall Review: At least it's not a filthy Decepticon!

Great gamer!

XFX Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity HD-697A-CNFC
XFX Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity HD-697A-CNFC

Pros: Performance / price very good deal. XFX quality / warranty. If you aren't gaming with Eyefinity ... you aren't gaming. It's honestly that good. OpenCL support is good. Runs most games fluidly at 1080 across three monitors above 60fps high/ultra settings. X-Fire gains are insane. Adding a second HD6970 practically doubles the power. Not as loud as some other cards.

Cons: Big. Card runs about 11.5" long which may be an issue for some case/mobo combos. Power hungry and can get warm (though any card in this category does). A good case with proper cable management can significantly reduce this "issue". Only other issue is that I miss CUDA :( but I have a quadro for that ...

Overall Review: If the card does not fit your case/mobo set up and you buy it anyway, that is YOUR fault for not looking up the specs. Learn to build and try again, don't dock an egg for your error.

Nice gloves!

Sherpa Lined Knit Gloves
Sherpa Lined Knit Gloves

Pros: Nice looking gloves. Classic design. Warm and cozy lining. Easy to wear and remove. Good price and goes well with a variety of outerwear. Reminds me of the holiday season! :)

Cons: One glove did have a pattern defect. Nothing that effects durability or comfort, purely aesthetic. That is really ythe only thing I can think of!

Overall Review: You will love these gloves! great as a gift (or for yourself!)
