Great Cooler
Pros: Dropped my temperature by ~10c from stock, XFX 8600 GT. The fan controller is nice, and it fits snugly in my full tower. Came with everything I needed, except one thing (see cons*)
Cons: Takes up 3 slots, one for the video card, and two for the cooler. Make sure you have room. This thing was insane to get on, I do realize it's not made for the 8600gt, but it fit with a little work. It's ever so slightly slanted, but it cools great. * It's supposed to have a plastic C clip for attaching the screws to the heatsink, it did not. As you can imagine, getting it on correctly was much more difficult with moving screws.
Overall Review: Quite a nice cooler, could have clearer instructions, and I hope they start packaging the products with what it should have. :) LOTS of room for overclocking depending on the card.
Great "Reliability"
Pros: Ordered two of these, and installed them both in the same pc, at first I had them as separate drives but after about a week I set up RAID 0 with them and it was great, I got about 235 MB/s sequential read and 150 MB/s write.
Cons: After three months one of the drives died and with no warranty to replace it, I was out 90 dollars.
Overall Review: The other drive is still kicking though, I have steam and a few games installed on it. SSD's are great drives but don't get these unless you're prepared to lose data. You get what you pay for and these are cheap compared to quality SSDs.
Great PSU but..
Pros: Solid PSU, powers a quad core, 9800GT, radiator, pump, hard drive, two SSDs, and a cd drive with absolutely no problem. Modular design is very nice, nicely sleeved cables.
Cons: My only problem is that the cables are too short for my case, so it was really a stretch getting everything connected, and my case isn't really that big, it's on the smaller end of full size cases, so that's why it's 4 eggs and not 5.
Overall Review: The thing that I'm angry about is when I bought it (Jan 15) there was a rebate for 20 USD, but I didn't receive it until Jan 19 and by then it was a different rebate for 40 USD, but the date specifies that you must have purchased after Jan 18, so I got kind of cheated out of my rebate. :/
Will not fit!
Pros: It looks great, I only wish I could use it.
Cons: It doesn't fit. I bought this hoping to cool my overheating 9800GT. I waited a week for it to get to my house, and I was excited to finally be able to play games again. It won't fit! If newegg sells it to fit ALL 9800 GT's it should fit ALL 9800 GT's. It won't fit my EVGA 9800 AT ALL. It's completely different from the design. I'm requesting an RMA right now to hopefully get this resolved, but I'm very disappointed, I've never had a problem with newegg, but they really should clarify that this will only fit SOME 9800GT's.
Overall Review: I guess it would have been great, had it fit.
I don't reccomend it.
Pros: It powers my pc, minus a fan because it cant handle it. Got it for free with my case.
Cons: Noisy, and the power it supplies can't be 450 watts, I have very few things in my system, calculated to need about 300 watts max, and this thing can't handle it.
Overall Review: It's nice if you have a very low end system, and don't need reliability in your PSU.
Very nice
Pros: Very good cpu, it overclocks well, and the stock heatsink is incredible. I'm overclocked to 2.4ghz at the moment, and plan to hit 2.8 once I work some things out. With 4 case fans, it idles at 39c overclocked, (my room is very, very hot) It's got a lot of potential.
Cons: Came with a bent pin, easily fixed, and now it works great.
Overall Review: With some arctic silver 5 and a good hsf, you could push this thing pretty far.
False advertising
I ordered an unlocked Fire Phone. It was listed as new and in the pictures it has the original box. However, it came in a poorly packed plain white box with a knockoff (NOT original) charger and none of the headphones that normally come with the phone. Phone is great tho. Still gave two eggs because I THINK the phone is new but honestly would not surprise me if it was refurbished and it was shipped very very quickly.
