Most Favorable Review

good quality

Nippon Labs 12 ft. Premium 3.5mm Audio Stereo Speaker Cable M/M 12ft Model SPC-12MM 12 feet
Nippon Labs 12 ft. Premium 3.5mm Audio Stereo Speaker Cable M/M 12ft Model SPC-12MM 12 feet

Pros: Molded ends for durability and thick plastic sheathing along the wire for sturdiness. This isn't a cheap wire. Impedance and signal loss is minimal and is comparable to higher end manufacturers. Of course the super-thick wires available have nearly no signal loss, but the difference is not noriceable unless you're channeling a highly amplified sound. I'm using mine between my computer and an aux input on my stereo, so this wire is perfect for that.

Cons: None unless you'd want to use this from an amplified source to a speaker. But if you're going from a non-amplified source (like a computer) to an amplifying device (like a stereo) it's perfect.

Overall Review: If newegg still offers it, buy two and get the free shipping. You end up getting two wires for less than the price of one.

picks up all background noise

Genius HS-02B Supra-aural Headset
Genius HS-02B Supra-aural Headset

Pros: used it with wow and vent and it worked well

Cons: picks up all background noise - you have to make sure you don't have ANY other noise around you - not even an AC or fan blowing on you

died within hours

Crucial M4 256GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT256M4SSD3
Crucial M4 256GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT256M4SSD3

Pros: lots of memory, fast, inexpensive for the form factor and amount of storage

Cons: Died within hours. I removed and re-inserted and it booted again, then died again. The old drive (128GB) still works, so it's not the machine. The machine simply didn't recognize a drive was present when this was in it.

Overall Review: Will post a new review if the replacement works.

works too good

Transcend 4GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model TS4GSDC
Transcend 4GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model TS4GSDC

Pros: bought this for a camcorder that captures jpgs - this card works in it, but after 200 pics, it starts running slow (because of my camera - not the card) - it's a great card and works well with my devices and computers

Cons: none

Overall Review: too much capacity for my camcorder - I should have bought a few smaller ones than one large capacity card

it's memory

PQI POWER Series 512MB DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory Model MD3412UOE
PQI POWER Series 512MB DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory Model MD3412UOE

Pros: it's memory. it either works or it doesn't. Temperature runs a little on the cool side for this one.

Cons: none

Overall Review: if it doesn't work, then you got one of the very few that are a defect - it happens no matter which brand you buy - Newegg is great about getting out warranty replacements FAST

not good

Canon CL-41 Ink Cartridge - Color
Canon CL-41 Ink Cartridge - Color

Pros: prints in excellent photo quality

Cons: Low ink volume and costly as far as inks go. Cannot be refilled at the local 'paper depot.'

Overall Review: I just put in a new color cartridge and it lost 25% after 20 pages. Not good.
