Not bad!

ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: As everyone has mentioned, it's packed full of features. The reason I'm writing this, is to inform everyone that I have the remote working just fine with a keyboard and mouse plugged in at the same time. If you're using Windows, this is the setup order in which you must follow to make it work: 1: Plug in receiver and wait for drivers to automatically install from Windows. 2. Remove receiver from USB port. 3. Disconnect USB keyboard and USB mouse. 4. Re-insert receiver into USB port. 5. Hold down SPACE key on remote until the red light on the receiver begins to flash quickly. They are now paired correctly. 6. Use the remote to make sure it's working. (To make the mouse arrows work, you must press the middle button under the arrow 'wheel' twice before they will work) 7. Once the remote is working correctly, then plug back in your mouse and keyboard. They should all be getting along now.

Cons: The only con that I can think of, and it may not be the motherboard, but I hear a buzzing noise when my SSD drive is working. I have this inside a small mini-ITX case, and I think I may have some RF issues going on, but can't seem to figure out why. Like I said though, I'm not sure if it's the motherboard causing the problem, or maybe it's the power supply being too close to the board.

Overall Review: For the features and ease of using, I would buy one of these again for sure.

NETGEAR WGT624 Wireless Firewall Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Comments: Well, I'm still waiting for the replacement... I purchased the WGT624 from Newegg, delivery was fast, hooked it up, it ran awsome for about 5 minutes, died, and never could get running again. :-( Tried all the steps for rebooting, but wouldn't let me reboot or ping the device. I think the firmware XXX out. I've been repairing computers, building computers, and networking for about 14 years and have to admit this is the shortest running device I've bought yet. But the replacement is on it's way and will write another review when it comes... If your new to NewEgg, I can tell you that I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of materials from them and you CAN'T go wrong. Excellent online store!

Using 5 1/2 Years! Nothing Better!

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: I've been using this case as my main workstation since Jan 2009. IMO, this is the best case that has EVER been created. I've been building and repairing systems for 28 years now, and if you don't think this case is awesome, you are waaaay too to hard to please, and will probably never be happy with any case. The case is so versatile, just about any type of system can be built inside it, with ample room, excellent cooling, and attractive looks. Great job Cooler Master!

Cons: ZERO

No Problems Yet!

Pros: EggCellent drives so far. I've been using two of these for about 2 years and have had no problems. Transfer rates are good and the drives are quiet. They make great storage drives.

Cons: I had to pay for them...

Overall Review: I agree with idaiki's comment. I've been explaining the capacity issue for about 25 years now and am getting tired of it. Why can't we all just get along and create an international standard and eliminate the problem forever??

Very Impressed!

ENERMAX SGALAXY EGX1000EWL 1000 W ATX12V/ EPS12V/ BTX SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
ENERMAX SGALAXY EGX1000EWL 1000 W ATX12V/ EPS12V/ BTX SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Been using this for about 9 months now, and Love It! Very impressed with the way this unit works, and would buy another if I needed it! DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND READ HOW TO INSTALL AND USE THIS! I've read some negative comments about this supply and I'm conviced most are user created, not Enermax created. There is a right way to use PSUs and a wrong way. When building systems, not everything is going to be plug and play. You need to READ about the device first!

Cons: None. (Oh, maybe one, but not a biggie... would have been nice if the manual had a VERY detailed map/description of which rails are assigned to what power connectors and hard wired connections)

Overall Review: I've been purchasing and using Enermax PSUs for over 10 years now, and consider them the defacto for reliable units. I can honestly say, other than wearing some out, (I'm a heavy user) I've never had problems. Love 'em!

Kingston DataTraveler 100 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) DT100/8GB
Kingston DataTraveler 100 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) DT100/8GB

Pros: Awesome little USB drive. Fairly quick transfers and nice looking to boot! Seems to be really durable. I've already dropped it a couple of times on a hard floor, and it justs bounces and keeps on working! The sliding/locking mechanism works and locks really well.

Cons: None! Works great!

Overall Review: 1. It DOES have a 'busy' light on it. It's green. Some reviewer said it didn't, but it does. 2. It doesn't have a lanyard, BUT it does have a place for one on the end of the drive, imbedded into the case.
