Great Monitor

SCEPTRE X226W-1920 Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR(10000:1) 1000:1, US Warranty
SCEPTRE X226W-1920 Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR(10000:1) 1000:1, US Warranty

Pros: Excellent color, very sharp. No dead pixels, no problems at all.

Cons: Only a few minor gripes, not enough to take eggs though. The stand wobbles just a tiny bit, it takes an extended time when alt+tabbing from different resolutions as the desktop (not sure if this is standard across monitors, but honestly, going from 1280x720 to 1920x1080 probably should take a bit of time to do). Had to adjust colors slightly in the beginning.

Overall Review: The colors are slightly odd in some places, but I'm really not sure if it's because the icons updated in the time since I got a new monitor (I know they updated, don't know if they changed colors) or if it's the monitor. It's nothing I really notice though. An excellent monitor for the price!

Terrible

COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)
COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack)

Pros: They sort of work? Would be a great deal if they were good fans.

Cons: First of all, all of the fans that came have terrible airflow, even at 100%. Second, they're all loud. Very loud. And not in a 'fan blowing air' way, more like a 'fan making grating sound' way. I'm not sure what happened here at all.

Overall Review: I see all the five egg reviews up there and I'm just plain envious. I didn't get my set from Newegg, but does Newegg really second test every item they get? I wouldn't think so. Very unhappy with this though.

Good quality

BYTECC HMD-10 10 ft. Black HDMI Male to DVI-D Male HDMI High Speed Male to DVI-D Male Single Link Cable Male to Male

Pros: Works, and in a way I wasn't sure it could. I'm using HDMI out, DVI in. Works perfectly though!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The cable is LONG! Was rather surprising. I didn't really look at the length, admittedly though. Thanks to the review that said it would work with HDMI out, DVI in!

Excellent

Pros: Plugged it in, downloaded the driver through Windows Driver Update, and it works! No drops so far. Doing what it's supposed to do.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Not sure whether the disc has some invasive wireless software or not, like I said, I didn't use it. I hate it when wireless software is bundled with the driver. Haha, at one point, my actual internet connection failed and my heart jumped into my throat, I thought the wireless key adapter had gone bad on me, but nope! Not its fault.

Cheap and it works

Excellent Router

NETGEAR WNR2000-100NAR Wireless-N Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n

Pros: This router has been excellent so far. Absolutely no significant problems (see cons). Works well, no problems that weren't a quick fix, plug in and go.

Cons: It evidently was broadcasting on the same channels as my cordless phone, but changed the channel in the options and it was fine again. Also, it appears to slightly lower the speed of Internet transfers, but that might be because it's allotting more bandwidth to other activities such as Windows Live Messenger or others. Nothing significant.

Overall Review: It's a little big... But it's in the other room, so no problem at all.
