Great drive!

SAMSUNG 22X Half-Height DVD Writer 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model SH-S223L LightScribe Support

Pros: - Works as advertised. - Quiet. - Has lightscribe ( I haven't tested it ) - Works fine in Windows 7 - Running latest firmware ( as of this review ) - It matches my case.

Cons: The official Samsung info and firmware is sort of hard to find( on the US version of the site anyway). I had to dig around to actually find it.

Overall Review: Remember you will need to bring your own SATA cable, and software to the party. Not a con in my book as I use CDBurnerXP(free) and I had a few extra SATA cables hangin' out. Bottom line, for the price, this is a great drive!

Keeps everything going!

APC BR1500LCD 1500VA 865 Watts 8 Outlets BACK-UPS RS
APC BR1500LCD 1500VA 865 Watts 8 Outlets BACK-UPS RS

Pros: You get what you are paying for in terms of quality here. Run times are as advertised. One thing people do wrong when buying a UPS is under buying. If you think you need 400 watts, buy 800 or more etc.. I live in south Florida, so this thing really gets a work out. We have thunderstorms nearly daily during the summer, they don't last long but they are really annoying. This state also receives more lightning than any other state so spikes, surges, and strikes happen all the time. This unit works great, keeps my machines up and running without breaking a sweat.

Cons: To nitpick, it is loud as sin when it is actually providing power due to the The fan(s) whirling around. This isn't really a huge con though. The newegg shipping was adequate but no extra padding, simply an outer box, again not a huge problem as it arrived safe and sound. The USB cable could be longer. It would be nice to see the ethernet style control modules on these less expensive units, I know it can be done because the printer manufactures are doing it in printers starting at like ~$150.00. Overall, not much to criticize.

Overall Review: This unit, as with so many APC units is fantastic. It joins my growing fleet of APC battery backup units, one of which is coming up on 7 years of great service.

Amazing Display!

ASUS VW224U Black 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 5000:1) Built in Speakers
ASUS VW224U Black 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 5000:1) Built in Speakers

Pros: This is my first Asus monitor, been using their boards for years. I upgraded from a 4:3 19" LCD. The quality of the display given the price, is amazing. I got this during a newegg promotion and the price was outstanding! - No visual issues. - No dead pixels. - No stuck pixels. - Awesome Display. - Free shipping!

Cons: Asus, please, the menu on this thing is epic fail. Please design a new menu system. Given I don't ever really need to use the menu often, I am not taking an egg away, but seriously, the menu is pretty bad. :) -- No display port. :( (I did know that going in though, so not a real con. )

Overall Review: After you get this thing calibrated the way you want it, it looks and works great. Buy one, or two.. If It had display port, I'd say buy three..

Great RAM!

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ

Pros: This ram is the bees knees! I have 8 Gigs of this stuff on my Asus P5Q Pro mobo and it's awesome! I actually made two separate purchases of this ram from Newegg. So I liked it so much the first time, I decided to go back for more!

Cons: The price keeps going up! The second one I got didn't have the G.SKILL metallic sticker in it. :( I have the first one sitting on a 5.25" bay cover, and it looks awesome.

Overall Review: This is good stuff, buy some!

Great deal, great product!

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: This HDD is running in my new windows 7 rig, and I have no complaints. I got a sweet deal from newegg on this drive, and it has performed flawlessly. What more can you ask for?

Cons: I didn't buy more of them. UPS doesn't deliver at my house till flipping 6:30 PM which annoys me greatly.

Overall Review: Make sure you have a spare SATA cable, remember this is an OEM drive. You get just the drive. I got it shipped UPS, and it's working fine. Get your storage on!

Does the job.

Cooler Master Dual Ball Bearing 80mm Cooling Fan for Computer Cases and CPU Coolers
Cooler Master Dual Ball Bearing 80mm Cooling Fan for Computer Cases and CPU Coolers

Pros: These little guys work fine for most setups. I have 3 of them in a rig ( two intake, and one exhaust ). They work very well. As far as the threaded screw holes go. It wasn't a problem in my particular application, however, I could see it being an issue for some. A note about the screws that come with the fan, they're machine style screws ( a blunt end ), which I was happy to see. Some manufactures include 'wood screw' type screws(pointy end) and they're not wire friendly. I have my front panel wiring routed around the two front intake fans, and having pointy metal objects near them would concern me. Good job Cooler Master!

Cons: None, can't go wrong adding MORE airflow..

Overall Review: These guys work and are pretty quiet, no problems at all. If I needed more, I would have no problem using these again!
