Most Favorable Review

Good for the price

LG 24MC57HQ-P Glossy Black 23.8" 5ms Widescreen IPS Multi-Tasking Monitor DFC 5,000,000:1 (1000:1) HDMI 1920 x1080 w/ 4-screen Split
LG 24MC57HQ-P Glossy Black 23.8" 5ms Widescreen IPS Multi-Tasking Monitor DFC 5,000,000:1 (1000:1) HDMI 1920 x1080 w/ 4-screen Split

Pros: - Crisp, Bright Display - Easy 'Joystick' Controls - Good Rich Color

Cons: - Wall Wart Power Supply is HUGE - No Sleep Mode on HDMI (Solved!)

Overall Review: I like the monitor, but no responsible manufacturer should still be using wall warts! It's also really annoying that when my computer goes to sleep, the monitor powers off instead of sleeping itself. This way, when I wake my computer I have to turn the monitor on manually - which can be difficult in the dark. -1 egg for the power supply and -1 for no 'sleep mode.' Edited: I replaced the HDMI cable and now the 'sleep mode' works fine. 1 egg added back to the review. I still hate the Power Supply!

*Nothing* like an old IBM

ABS M1 Heavy Duty Professional Gaming Mechanical Keyboard
ABS M1 Heavy Duty Professional Gaming Mechanical Keyboard

Pros: Just received it today (Excellent job Newegg!) and it looks great. Sturdy construction! Will undoubtedly outlast a common cheapy-board. Unfortunately the good ends there.

Cons: MUSHY keys! I was misled by reviews comparing this to old IBM standards, and describing it as a 'tactile' keypress. *** It's NOT *** The keys are certainly mechanical - until phycokinetic interfaces get here ALL keyboards require mechanical action - but it's action is the same as any cheapy... Crummy at best. There is absolutely no feedback for a touch typist to know the keypress has been recorded. Additionally, I would have liked the cord to be about 8-12" longer like my now dead Focus which was very much like an IBM Model M.

Overall Review: Although I appreciate the reviews here at Newegg, I wish there was some way of knowing in advance whether the "Tech Knowledge" rating was what their industry peers would say, or their Mommy.

Good Value Server Case - REQUIRES SLIM RAILS!

Athena Power RM-4UWIN525 Black 1.2mm SECC 4U Rackmount Server Case Mini-Redundant 2U Micro Redundant PS2 Single 3U Single 8 External 5.25" Drive Bays
Athena Power RM-4UWIN525 Black 1.2mm SECC 4U Rackmount Server Case Mini-Redundant 2U Micro Redundant PS2 Single 3U Single 8 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: 1. The finish was perfect on arrival - until I tried to rack it with the wrong rails. :( 2. It has a fan distribution block that isn't mentioned in the description but you can see in the pictures if you look close. 3. It swallowed four 2 into 3 hot-swap modules with ease and still has room for 2 more (internal) 3.5" drives and 2 external 3.5" devices. Albeit with some kind of custom mounting I guess - I don't need any of the additional options. 4. A full ATX motherboard with a 120mm tower cooler fit easily. 5. It comes with all fans included. They aren't Panaflo or Sunon but they'll do.

Cons: 1. The metal used for the front bezel is WAY to thin and it came with the center bent inward causing the cover to need to be pushed down to engage. Easily bent back to straight. 2. The included fans don't have RPM monitoring to signal a failure. 3. Even if the fans are replaced, the fan distribution block doesn't appear to have a failure alarm. 4. The slot covers are really, REALLY flimsy junk. 5. The need for SLIM SLIDING RAILS is never mentioned causing me to mount up everything just to find out I couldn't rack it and have to pack up and return the rail kit for something else FAR more expensive.

Overall Review: This isn't an expensive designer case and it shows. That being said, it fits everything I wanted to put in it and came with everything I needed. I didn't take any points off, but I don't like the rocker switches for power and especially reset, and (as mentioned) I would have preferred a fan failure alarm with an alert LED rather than 2 LAN activity indicators. As others have noted, none of the edges are 'rolled' or burnished. Just like 'value' PC cases, it's up to you to exercise caution to avoid cuts and abrasions. For me it was kind of nostalgic LOL. One more time I'll mention - It won't fit in a standard 19" rack with 'normal' sliding rails, you'll need slim style rails. Maybe I'm just dim for not looking deeply at the width measurements, calculating the total with rails and measuring my rack, but in my defense; I've always just ordered the matching rails with a server case.

If it really had 3W speakers it would be a 5 egg

VIOTEK NB32CB 32-inch LED Curved Professional Monitor, Bezel-less Samsung VA Panel, 75Hz 1080P Full-HD FreeSync VGA HDMI VESA, 3 Year Warranty
VIOTEK NB32CB 32-inch LED Curved Professional Monitor, Bezel-less Samsung VA Panel, 75Hz 1080P Full-HD FreeSync VGA HDMI VESA, 3 Year Warranty

Pros: Good color reproduction Uses a traditional power cord!!! 75Hz refresh rate Bright enough for my home office Stable stand

Cons: Was represented as having 3W stereo speakers - it doesn't

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this monitor as long as it was understood that the description provided to Newegg is wrong and this model doesn't have speakers. It's large with a nice curve and the brightness and colors are great for my taste. The biggest plus versus other manufacturers is that it uses a standard IEC cord! Wall-warts need to go away for good - I'm looking at you Mr. Lucky and your GoldStar. Setup was easy and I really like the connections coming up from the bottom. Once I discovered I'd been had by the seller saying it had speakers and had to reconnect my old ones, I was able to plug them in without having to move the monitor or reach around behind it. BIG plus in my book!

I love it! Perfect way to reuse my first NVMe drive after upgrade.

Pros: Well built. Comes with multiple installation options USB Type C and Type A cable options

Cons: Cables are WAY too short to be useful No instructions

Overall Review: I had no trouble figuring out how to install my drive, but which (if any) of the accessories I should use was confusing. Honestly, I didn't use any except the cover held on by screws (as opposed to the adhesive one) and just have to hope I was right. I like that it came with an extra m.2 mounting 'lug'.

A sturdy, well built shelf.

Rosewill RSA-1USHF003 1U 19-Inch Fixed 4-Post Rack Mount Server Shelf with Adjustable Depth From 22 - 40" Black
Rosewill RSA-1USHF003 1U 19-Inch Fixed 4-Post Rack Mount Server Shelf with Adjustable Depth From 22 - 40" Black

Pros: I have a 23" deep rack, so this fit perfectly. It has 'vent' holes which can be used to secure shelved equipment.

Cons: The depth adjustment is holes instead of slots and the hardware is loose machine screws and nuts.

Overall Review: The shelf is exactly what I needed. My rack depth is 23" (to fit in it's closet) and finding weight bearing shelves for that is difficult. This one is perfect for my needs. It's VERY rigid and solidly built! The slotted 'vents' will be perfect to secure any equipment that might need to be shelved long term. Whether by zip tie or by brackets. My only complaint is the depth adjustment: Whereas most shelves have slots allowing you to mount them in the rack and then secure the adjustment screws, this one uses discreet holes and loose hardware. You HAVE to set the depth where you want it and use a wrench along with a screwdriver to tighten the screws and THEN try to wedge it into the rack. Due to the full U-channel design, which improves it strength and rigidity, you can't get to the nuts without a socket and ratchet - and once in the rack that isn't easy to do. YMMV. Imagine a figurative 1/2 egg off for being a PITA to mount. Other than that I'm highly satisfied with it and if I need more shelf space in the future, I'll order it again.

Inaccurate description/misrepresentation in specifications

Seeing as Newegg doesn't stock this monitor, I have to conclude they got their description and specs from Zake. This monitor doesn't have speakers and the manufacturers website and specs don't indicate that is does. Newegg should make a point of dropping/barring marketplace sellers who provide misleading specs.

Delivered within 48 hours!

The hard drive is in perfect condition and is being integrated into my storage array as I write this. I didn't understand that the drive was NOS rather than "Retail New", but S.M.A.R.T. reports 0 hours and goHardDrive will cover the 1 year warranty. I'm good with that. It's replacing a drive that failed after more than 10 years of 24/7 operation, so if it makes it through the rebuild I'm confident I'll get my moneys worth out of it. Thanks goHardDrive!

Right item and only 10 days from overseas

I was concerned as I saw (after I ordered) some reviews saying their order didn't arrive or took months. My experience was the opposite! I got exactly what I ordered in just 10 days and in excellent condition.
