So far, so good.

Furmax Computer Office Gaming Chair with High Back, Ergonomic, Swivel, Executive PU Leather, Footrest, Bucket Seat and Lumbar Support (Blue)
Furmax Computer Office Gaming Chair with High Back, Ergonomic, Swivel, Executive PU Leather, Footrest, Bucket Seat and Lumbar Support (Blue)

Pros: Comfortable, out of the box. It's a chair, It seems sturdy enough for a 6'1" 260lbs man. Tall back, I can actually use the neck rest pillow properly. Build quality is decent. I think a good value for the price I payed. On sale but probably not worth the normal 250 asking price. Pretty fast shipping from the seller and it came well packaged. Overall it's a good chair. I personally think most "gaming chairs" are overpriced, like alot, but your options are limited in chairs that get reviewed.

Cons: The chair is a little flimsy in some areas. And the included tool is not going to torque the main bolts enough for a great fit. The Leg rest is waaaaay too flimsy for any adult to use. The main issue it the "lock" for the swivel of the foot rest but the slides are also too flimsy for anybody with normal or big legs. And the second alan wrench/ hex key to torque the main bar that holds the leg rest. Which means you need a tool not included to put it together. You can not get the bar to stop spinning without another alan wrench/hex key. The seat is not a perfect fit on the piston, which causes a bit of wobble. The arm rest are basic firm rubber, so they are not that comfortable.

Overall Review: To help others, who might order this brand of chair or this model. A second person is helpful when mounting the seat to the piston but not needed. For the main bolts use a 12mm socket to torque them. Be careful not to miss thread them as the metal in the frame is quite stout and will screw up the bolt threads if you are off. Also the bolt heads are slightly rounded, so push hard against the bolt when doing your final torquing. The holes for bolts are not cut out of the vinyl, they just punched a hole enough to know where the bolt hole is. It's best if you take a pair of scissors and clean them up a bit, this will keep foam and vinyl from getting in the bolts threads. Use the alan wrench/hex key to torque the bolts that hold the arms to their brace, That bit comes preassembled but they need to be torqued more. A proper #2 phillips screwdriver will help on the plastic bits, but that is not a necessity. Wait to torque your hinges until you are almost done with the chair, it should be second to last step. Last being plastics. Because the bolts holes are not exact fit, they have a quarter inch of play or more. So line everything up before your final torque on these bolts. Pillows don't really count as a step to me. All that is left is to wait and see how it holds up to my fat but sitting in it for an hour or 2 a day. *newegg, I know you don't want price mentioned but in all cases value is what we want to know. If this was at non discount price it would be a 2 egg. Because there are better chairs at that 250 price point. But for the 100 off I payed for it, it's a good deal. And good deals with reviews move units.

This is not a keyboard

Das Keyboard X40 Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Aluminum Top Panel Cover - Stryker, Olive (Keyboard not Included)
Das Keyboard X40 Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Aluminum Top Panel Cover - Stryker, Olive (Keyboard not Included)

Pros: none

Cons: Not the product that is currently advertised. It is just a face plate, not the keyboard. The specifications page is a lie and the sub description was changed after I bought the item. The description said " Olive. 109 keys. Mechanical Switches. Back-lit"

Overall Review: So far the return process is looking like it's not worth it. As it will cost half of what i already payed, to return this faceplate. plus a restocking fee for an item that was/is falsely advertised and misleadingly listed. SO congrats on riping me off for less that $40 I'm never using the marketplace again. And maybe newegg... This site has gone so downhill since you started this marketplace junk. Stuff is normally cheaper elsewhere anyway, I always came here because of the wide selection and search features.

Great bargin.

Changhong 50" 1080p LED HDTV - LED50YC2000UA
Changhong 50" 1080p LED HDTV - LED50YC2000UA

Pros: A 50" LED with great image quality for a more than reasonable price. Great image quality. Powerful speakers. Good sound quality. Lots of customizable options for color, contrast, sound, etc. 3 HDMI ports. 1 VGA port. 1 component cluster. SPDF out.

Cons: Only 60Hz, so it's not great as a monitor. No composite av outs. I don't like the back of the housing, it has a large protrusion at the base, which makes some mounts hard to install.

Overall Review: The first TV I ordered developed a black line and a colored line across the picture after 2 days of use. But newegg got it approved for RMA and replaced in no time. This second TV has had no issues for about three weeks and hopefully no issues for a long time.

No problems so far.

Rosewill RX750-S-B - Xtreme Series 750-Watt Active PFC Power Supply - Continuous @ 104 Deg. F (40C), 80 PLUS Bronze, ATX 12V v2.2 & EPS 12V v2.91, SLI & CrossFire-Ready, Compatible with Core i7, i5

Pros: So far it's been a pretty sturdy PSU. Decent power and not very expensive. Cables are a nice length and there are plenty of connectors for my application. One large 12v rail with 60A of power.

Cons: None so far but I haven't loaded this PSU very much.

Overall Review: Good for some multiple GPU action but at only 750w you won't have two extreme cards running at once.

Very cool case for the money.

Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW) Black Steel High Airflow ATX Cube Case Support ATX Power Supply
Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW) Black Steel High Airflow ATX Cube Case Support ATX Power Supply

Pros: It's very sturdy, big, has lots of cabling options, a good amount of spots for fans, isolated PSU spot, a nice big clear window, is big enough for any modern size motherboard and/or GPU, nice rubber covers for the cabling ports, nice "hidden" slots for SSDs or other 2.5" storage drives, it comes with some filters on the intake fans. In my opinion, it's also a very beautiful case. I love the finish, the way it's laid out, and it's build quality. It has all the internal room of a full tower with the height of a mid tower. I think it's a great case.

Cons: Only two USB 3.0 front panel ports, would have liked one more 3.5" HDD slot. Both minor stuff that I already knew when I bought the case, because I looked at the pictures and thought about my build before I bought the case. The HDD LED does not seem to work on mine but I might have wired it up wrong not really an issue to me.

Overall Review: It's a very nice well made case that has good airflow at stock and leaves you the option of adding more fans or a Water cooling system. I have had no problem with the length of the front panel wires. And this case is certainly big enough for a full ATX board, has two empty slots with my Sabertooth installed. I can nearly fit one of my old BTX boards in this thing. Some people want filters in a case like this, I can just get raw filter material and put some on if I really wanted to. It's not something I think warrants negative points on this review or even consider as a con. When I started building my own PCs, filters were nonexistent and years later became a novelty; not something to be expected or needed. So the fact that this case does have filters on the intake fans, is just another "pro" to me. I think it's a very good case and I did not expect to find a case this cool and well made at this price bracket.

Seems good so far.

CORSAIR CX-M series CX500M 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply
CORSAIR CX-M series CX500M 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply

Pros: Good price for the quality, Solid build, Stable voltage, Good amount of cables, Good length of cables. Can't think of much else. It's just a Good 500W PSU.

Cons: None so far. It's not "cheap" but it's a very good price for for a quality PSU.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace an old (7-9 years) FSP 550W PSU that died, in my friend's PC. This has plenty of power for what they use the PC for and got a great review from Johnny Guru. It's a nice PSU and has held up just fine, for about four months.
