Most Favorable Review

Easy to set up, easy to use.

KDLINKS® R100 Ultra HD 1296P Front + 1080P Rear Super Wide Angle Rearview Mirror Car Dash Cam with IPS HD 5" Screen, G-Sensor & Superior Night Mode

Pros: -Easy set up, as mentioned. -Good quality video. -Rear camera cord reaches all the way to the back of my truck's camper shell.

Cons: -Fits over the rearview mirror. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does take some getting used to. -Cargo in the back unplugs the rear camera cord if it's not secured properly. That particular fault is my own, though.

Overall Review: It's a good choice for the average, basic user. Formatted a 128GB memory card and it works great. I will buy it again, should the need ever arise.

Overall, a Good Case

Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Military Green Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Military Green Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Ample interior space, plenty of room (and mounts) for more fans, a little notch for seating the motherboard. Beautiful exterior. Love the little flip-cover for the Reset button.

Cons: As others have mentioned, the fan ports on the window pane do obstruct the view on the interior. On the top of the case, there are a number of holes (Presumably for added ventilation). It's a great thought, unless you (Like most people) keep the tower beside a desk, on the floor. The risk of a glass of water (or other fluid) falling and destroying the insides is on my mind a lot. I, myself, just keep my glasses on the opposite side of my desk, now, but the nagging thought is there. Perhaps Corsair should market a 'roof' cover to go over the top as a liquid deflector. Just a thought. Also, when I went to install my power supply, my PSU does not properly fit inside. Not sure why at this point, it fit in my last case perfectly. I wound up having to jam it in place, bending a support strut in the process. The PSU is in place, and it is secure, but it is not mounted/installed properly at all.

Overall Review: Overall, an excellent case. Worth the $130 I paid for it. And on top of that, the free Eggsaver shipping got it to me in ONE DAY! I live in San Diego, and the shipping center is in Commerce, CA (Eastern LA County, Western Orange County). Glad I didn't pay for three day shipping. :) Good job, Newegg.

Good board.

Pros: Beautifully crafted. Easy on the eyes. Instruction book easy to understand, clearly labelled.

Cons: None as of yet. Will update as needed.

Overall Review: Combined with a 3.1 i5 Quad, 16GB RAM. Works very nicely.

Good PSU

RAIDMAX RX-500AF Continuous 500 watts ATX 12V v2.3/EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply
RAIDMAX RX-500AF Continuous 500 watts ATX 12V v2.3/EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply

Pros: Easy install, pleasant to look at. Works as specified.

Cons: No instruction manual. Dropped an egg for that. See Remarks below.

Overall Review: My philosophy is that anything electronic should come with an instruction manual. In this case, specifically, because there's a lovely-looking red button on the back of this thing that is begging to be touched. However, I ain't touchin' no red button until I know what it does. An extended Google search yielded no answer. If a Raidmax Employee happens upon this, please tell me.
