Great Quality

Royal 112MX 12-Sheet Cross Cut Shredder - ROY29186X
Royal 112MX 12-Sheet Cross Cut Shredder - ROY29186X

Pros: very heavy shredding unit. solid construction. easily removable tub. separate slot for CDs and credit cards. doesn't take up much room on my office desk. automatically stops in between shreds. fast and powerful. better than the fellowes one i had before. came with floor casters.

Cons: a bit smaller than i expected. not much tub space. about the size of a bathroom waste basket.

Overall Review: i feel like i got my money's worth.

Overall Review: never buy from this company.

It's Genuine MFi "Apple Certified"

Naztech N300-12204 Apple Certified Lightning 8-Pin 3-In-1 Portable Car and Wall Charger for iPhone 5/5S, 6/6 Plus and iPad Air/Air 2, iPad Mini/2/3 - White

Pros: It is genuinely an "Apple Certified" device. No complaints from iOS. My last FleaBay charger never worked properly because it lacked the MFi chip. USB/Thunderbolt cable is strong and thick. I haven't tested the car charger function yet. If I need to - I will update that with a comment. So far, so good.

Cons: A bit over priced. But, Newegg had the best price. Any MFi device is going to cost you.

Smoke! RMA Nightmare!

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Died after 10 months. Caught on fire. Cooked my CPU. This board has a known VRM issue that Gigabyte won't admit to - or knows how to fix. RMA'd first board. Replacement took two weeks. Board was DOA. RMA'd second board. Replacement was unstable because of loose voltages and VRM overheating. All of Gigabyte's replacement motherboards are repaired refurbs with issues. They have burn marks and thermal grease all over them. The only test that they do is a POST. They don't stress them for stability. Customer Support accidentally admitted that to me. I'm currently in talks with Gigabyte to refund me my money, or send me a new board. They are doing everything possible not to do that. I laugh at the Customer Service responses they leave on Newegg comments because they are just for show. They won't actually fix the problem.

Cons: The whole company. Why can't I leave 0 eggs?

Overall Review: Buy an Intel board. Buy an Intel chip. At least you'll know that if it breaks you will get a working product returned to you.
