Another WD win for me

WD Green WD40EZRX 4TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Bulk Bare Drive
WD Green WD40EZRX 4TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Bulk Bare Drive

Pros: It's a WD that works just like it's supposed too. Using in my HTPC setup currently.

Cons: It's a little slower than the Black WD drives I have, but I expected that.

Overall Review: Been using WD exclusively since way back when Maxtor dropped their 3 year warranty. Never had a problem with WD, only one RMA ever, and they were great with it.

Most Critical Review

What was AMD thinking?

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Nice speed for the price.

Cons: The HS fan that comes on this is a total piece of garbage. I would highly recommend you buy an aftermarket fan that does not sound like a leaf blower. I would like to know how AMD engineering would remotely find it acceptable to use a fan that is almost exactly as loud as a vacuum cleaner. I'm highly disappointed by this, when the fan spins up I can hear it running in the next room, I cannot for the life of me imagine an office full of pc's with this HS fan. If you enjoy wearing ear muffs while using your PC then this is the HS fan for you!

Another Home Run from Newegg

MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 2060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card RTX 2060 VENTUS GP 12G OC
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 2060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card RTX 2060 VENTUS GP 12G OC

Pros: Card is not overly large and bulky, fan quality and heatsink are nice.

Overall Review: I upgraded my sons PC from a 750TI to this card, huge improvement as expected. I have this paired with an AMD FX Bulldozer chip and 16GB of RAM, all components I bought from NewEgg years ago. Still playing COD, Destiny, FFonline etc with this machine. Good deal for the price!

works great

Logitech K400 2.4GHz Wireless Touch Keyboard
Logitech K400 2.4GHz Wireless Touch Keyboard

Pros: Works as advertised. Using for my HTPC setup, couldn't be happier.

Cons: I'm not used to the touch pad mouse so much, so that's not really a manufacture problem, it's very sensitive to the double tapping, which leads to me closing some windows sometimes when I'm not intending too.

Overall Review: I love this keyboard for my HTPC!

great for the money

APEVIA Black SECC Steel / Aluminum X-MASTER-BK/500 ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
APEVIA Black SECC Steel / Aluminum X-MASTER-BK/500 ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Pros: Nice finish on the paint, very good design and layout. Supports full ATX boards

Cons: The PSU that comes with this is garbage, also the fans on the back have the cheap molex connectors on them that are hard to plug in, and one of the fans starting making a grinding noise about 1 day after my build, so I had to unplug it. The front panel for the DVD rom wouldn't work with my LG blu ray rom, but that's ok since the LG faceplate looks nice anyway.

As Expected

ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard
ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard

Pros: For the money really nice board, first ARock for me, normally buy Asus or Gigabyte.

Cons: Not color coded for the front ports, but not a deal breaker, also the mouse controlled bios threw me for a little bit of a loop, but overall I'd buy this board again.
