Error was mine

SYBA USB 3.0 (3+1) PCI-e Controller Card, Etron Chipset, Molex (IDE HD 4-pin) Built-in Model SY-PEX20135

Pros: See other thoughts. Gave it 4 Eggs because it probably would have been a 5 egg, but other circumstances prevailed.

Cons: See other thoughts

Overall Review: Response to my original posting of 6/25/2013 2:06:28 PM This card may have been fine. I tried a different card (bought elsewhere), and when it did not work at all, I checked and discovered that the 4 pin Molex power cable I had used was faulty. When I used a different power cable, the new card worked fine. I suspect the old card would also work fine. Sorry!

Pros: Clean looking, probably decent machine, not what it was sold as.

Cons: Processor is not the i7 it says, it came with an i5. the video card is not a 1GB card, it is an ATI Radeon HD4550, 512mb. Nowhere is listed which version, but the picture is of the mini-tower version - delivered was the "Small Form Factor", which has fewer inside slots, and all the slots are low profile (can't use full size cards).

Overall Review: I am returning this in the morning. The Newegg website says this was bought from iCompNY. Within hours of placing my order, the very bad review that preceeds this showed up. Knowing it a refurb, I bought a Newegg repair contract – I am hopefull that Newegg will cancel that, as I never received the item I ordered. Based on the previous post, it seems like Newegg should just stop working with iCompNY. I would NEVER have bought something like this from a random online place, I did it because Newegg put it on their site, which I trusted because I have found them to be reliable and seemingly honest. If they don't make good on all this, and if I lose more than the several hours of research and checking, etc. that. I have already lost, I will stop recommending them to the many people that I have recommended to.

problematic vendor

Shipped a different machine than advertised (i5 instead of i7, 500mb graphics instead of 1gb, small form chassis instead of tower shown, says 2 year warranty but that is only for a hard drive, the rest is 90 days, not responding to return request, ignored a next request sent direct from Newegg, I spoke with Newegg again tonight who said they will try again and create some sort of internal document and contact me in a few days. This is all taking hours of time, and iCompNY appears to be behaving poorly and/or in bad faith, sadly I'd recommend Newegg stop dealing with them (similar review appeared just after I ordered).
