Pros: This drive is heavy. It feels "substantial" in one's hand. That must be because it is filled with so many platters in order to reach 8TB (7.2 TiB after ext4 formatting). The specifications suggest it will be very reliable. I didn't bank on it performing so well. Even running SATA2 it is the fastest drive in my system, beating other multi-TB drives, and even besting the Samsung SSD performance-wise.

Cons: It didn't come with mounting bolts. Not that big of a deal, but it would have been handy to have them right in hand with the drive to mount it.

Overall Review: The drive arrived within a couple of days or order, even with the free shipping. In my more than 10 years of buying from Newegg, they have always done an outstanding job, stocking a wide variety of products at fair prices & delivering faster than they say they will.

Pros: This is a lot of server for not a lot of money. Dual quad-core Xeons, redundant 750watt power supplies, lots of memory in a 2RU case that comes with dual 146GB Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) 15K RPM drives that are run as RAID (can be run RAID 0 for 292GB storage if desired). Also includes built-in DVD-ROM and space for 4 more drives, SAS or SATA. Comes with dual network adapters and a TCP Offload Engine (TOE, essentially a TCP co-processor to get that load off the core CPUs, handy for high network throughput with low CPU utilization). Unit is refurbished, but worked out of the box, no issue with functionality, and was clean as a whistle inside. A few cosmetic things outside, normal wear & tear stuff, but nothing big, no dents, fractured plastic, or anything else extreme.

Cons: For anybody that's run a Poweredge you know: loud, hot, and uses lots of power (246 watts at idle). By "loud" I mean 64dbM at idle, 78dbM full-bore. That's almost 80 decibels. That's as loud as a garbage disposal. And those 246 watts aren't all used for processing, there's plenty of waste heat generated.

Overall Review: The unit doesn't come with a bezel. (The bezel is the faceplate that covers the front of the drives) This may, or may not be a big deal for you. For me, I ordered one separately.

Pros: Somebody spent a lot of time engineering odd design choices for common hardware mounting issues. I'm not sure of the thought process, or mandated design characteristics, but the result is a box with a lot of parts that is clumsy to mount parts, like hard-drives into. The case is sturdy and substantial. The fan support for the 3 case fans in the middle appears to accommodate a CPU AIO cooler without issue. The case's enamel paint seems well applied and fairly scratch resistant. The case comes with screws to mount the motherboard, power supply, and drives to the case. It also comes with an instruction manual. This is both good, and bad. Good, in that it's nice to see someone including instructional literature with their product, rather than the zero quantity of literature normally supplied with computer cases. Bad in that a computer case shouldn't be so complex AS TO NEED AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL. It's 2025. PC's have been on the market for over 43 years now. Surely someone has figured out how to make a PC case for computer peripherals and components that's easy and intuitive to use in the past 4 decades! Lots of front, and back, ventilation holes. Plenty of room for many drives, accommodates a large motherboard, and even a CPU AIO if you need it!

Cons: The 5 included fans are 2-wire, always at 100% full-blast, super cheap-cheap-cheap fans. I haven't seen a case fan so outdated, so antiquated, in nearly 2 decades. The less well intellectually gifted among us might argue "Well, it's a rack-mount case. It's for the data center where fan noise doesn't matter." Firstly, California has already adopted mandated energy-saving regulations for computers. This may, or may not, directly impact the fans in this case, but California will inevitably expand it's energy-saving dictates, and these fans will be a problem. A decent case can easily consume 9-10 watts. A case with 5 fans? 50 watts. One computer. These cheap fans probably only draw a few watts, but putting such fans in this case is one more example of the odd engineering choices that went into this case's design. SECONDLY, I use a full-sized, 19" rack in my home office for ALL my computer and networking gear, and have for a long time. I have WAY too many computers, and way too much network gear to just try and stack it or put it under the desk. Pro's like me frequently use racks for our gear. I have 3 racks for electronics, some of it audiophile audio gear. Fan noise is a BIG deal to me. I already have enough fans running, I don't need 5 more running at a full clip. Maybe I'm just ahead of the curve, or an over-achiever. Whatever the case, this case's design parameters are Quixotic, and that's being polite. These fans have GOT TO GO. NewEgg, I expected more from your in-house Rosewill brand. Some of the bizarre case design choices are just plain bad. The top cover: 4 tiny screws on the side, & then you have to lift the front of the cover before removing it, precluding its use in a rack with ANY equipment located in the rack space above this case. The drive mounting carriers do not anchor the drives firmly in their designated slot. Much more side venting would be welcome, considering the drive fans are blowing potentially hot air right at the fans blowing on the motherboard. More front-mounted USB ports, including Type C, would be welcome.

Overall Review: This case is useful in certain narrow usage scenarios. For starters, you'll need a rack to put it in. Putting new fans in it is likely also a wise move, possibly a necessity. The case is roomy inside, and if you need the room, it's a good choice for your computer components. Remember to bend at the knees when moving or installing the case. It is substantial. Also, if you're a NewEgg fan-man, like me, this stylish case in basic black matches any decor and livens up any room it's used in.

Pros: This small form factor PC is great for putting together network appliance or servers. It has plenty fast CPU, core i5. Include 8GB or RAM, a 500GB HDD, & a built-in CD/DVD-reader/writer, and it's a great bargain. That it came with a licensed version of Windows 7 pro, PLUS a mouse & keyboard & power cable (which I wasn't expecting) was a nice surprise. It needed 1GB of updates when powered on, but seems like a good buy. The unit, while being supplied with a bonus keyboard & mouse wasn't the cleanest I've seen. I had to blow some air through the insides to get some more dust off. The bonus unexpected keyboard included was disgusting. There were chunks of every form of detritus foreseeable in an office environment jammed down between the keys somewhere. That one I"m going to have to HOSE off. The bonus mouse was missing some feet, but I'm not sure how much I should complain because I wasn't expecting a mouse at all. The keyboard & mouse are HP also, so the whole thing is color-coordinated. I really like the way HP designs these and think they are a nice example of good industrial engineering. Considering the cost of Windows 7 is $35, and that shipping was free, this computer is quite the deal. I sure wish they came with an aircompressor

Cons: I would have preferred quicker service and a cleaner keyboard

Overall Review: Newegg is great. They always have a reasonable selection of hardware at great prices.

Pros: It sure doesn't look refurbished, almost. It's not perfectly shiny like a new machine would be, but past that it appears perfect. The insides were extraordinarily clean, and I like the way HP put their CPU cooler together: they didn't have to make space around the CPU for other components, because HP makes the whole computer, so the heat-pipe tower cooler sits right on top of the CPU, extends all the way to the SFF case top, sucking in fresh air from the front unimpeded, and funneling it to the rear. I've had it for a while now and I have had zero problems (Please, HW Otherworldly Powers, don't curse me for invoking thine presence! Have mercy on my unworthy, earthly soul.) It arrived quickly, was well packaged, and I'm still using it as the HW for a router. I added a NIC to it for that. It has one of those side-ways adapters because SFF won't tae a full-height card. I've found most NICs nowadays have a plate for both regular & SFF chassis.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Newegg is good. I've been buying from them for years & never had a problem.

Pros: So it's big, cheap, & 4K. Colors are great and quite configurable. 6 Video inputs. The specs are there. It'd be better if it were curved, as the size for a near-field monitor, while making 4k text legible is a bit much real estate-wise for enjoyable viewing at 24" monitor distance. Display angles are good. The supplied remote makes adjusting the monitor much easier than reaching under the display & finding with the joystick & I've used that remote A LOT. It comes with HDMI & DP cable & a stand that tilts a little bit. No rotation or height adjustment. Built-in speakers & a built-in jack for headphones, which both work well.

Cons: The manual is a joke. I can plug something into the wall AC, I don't need instructions for that. I need instructions for what the settings do. I need information no how the USB works (Type C to Type A? Power only? etc.) There's none of that information. Calling technical support started with that, getting some information on settings. They didn't have any information. They just made stuff up or read off the marketing slicks. They didn't know what resolution is or means. Nor did they know what the various monitor "features" were. They would say "oh, that makes it look better." Okay, like better how? Brighter? Clearer? "Better" means what? They had no idea about ANY of it. Plus the monitor turns off spontaneously randomly. I'll be sitting there, and BAM no display. It happens anywhere from a few times a day to a few times a minute. This has prompted a total of 15 interactions with LG via phone, e-mail, & chat. There is no-one there that knows ANYTHING. They're readily available, but not a single thing they have said has been correct. They contradict each other, don't know about computers or monitors, are obnoxious, and tedious. They said I needed new firmware, that's why the monitor turns off periodically, except they don't know what firmware is, nor how to install it. They say since I'm running Linux I don't need new monitor firmware, except they'd never actually heard of "Linux," and had to wikipedia "linux." They don't know how the USB works, will type A cascade off Type C (as the marketing says) or is the type A only off HDMI, or can Type A only connect to type A (negating the whole notion of a hub). I'll get contradictory statements not only from different people, but from the same person during the same call. Because they can't understand even the simplest of ideas, they need to send a technician to my house to "fix" the monitor. SEND A TECHNICIAN TO MY HOUSE, because they are THAT dumb. I should just box it up, fly to Korea, & dump it on the the VP of Customer Support's lawn.

Overall Review: Newegg is always a pleasure to work with. I don't know if I'm going to return this thing or not. I might be shopping for a different, large format 4K from Newegg shortly. I'm sure the whole Newegg part of this thing will be easy & smooth, as they always are. I've had other LG monitors with no issue, so I've never had occasion to call them. LG's support makes "bad" support look okay. Also, another reviewer noted the parallax viewing issue. It is true that at close range a tiny bit of the left & right edges are lost. They're there, you just have to back up to see them. The "under scan" setting fixes that, which is what prompted my discussion about resolution with LG: if I'm putting out native resolution with my video card, & the monitor is setup for 1:1, and under scan trims the edges, how is it I'm getting full resolution? And should under scan be set to on or off? The screen says set it on. LG support said set it off. Underscan should only have an effect if the output & display resolution are different. They aren't in my case, so why does under scan affect anything? So either the specifications advertised for the display are wrong, or something else is going on.

Server was extremely, almost clinically, clean. The inside of the machine looked new. No dust, cruft, dander, or critters. The device came well cushioned in a large box, and arrived undamaged. The machine was as described, with a tiny niggle, that the labels on the drive trays didn't match the drives. The drives themselves were as advertised, but the stickers identifying the drives didn't reference these drives. CLEARLY, the trays were from a different machine, and the drives were installed to match the as-adverised description. Contact with the seller for issue resolution was quick, painless, and efficient. No ego, blame, or excuses, just evidence of willingness to correct the issue (which may not be a particularly noteworthy problem to begin with).
