Fantastic

EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: I've been waiting for the prices to drop for some time. I didn't feel the 9000 was anything special. Card's price/performance ratio is unmatched, esp. after $30 MIR and $20 promo. Is much quieter than my 6200 and blows it out of the water! Plus there is a lifetime warranty. Runs everything I have on max (a first for me!)

Cons: Does not have dual slot PCI cooling, but seems to run just fine in my case with no problems - cooling is not an issue. Card is gigantic, but that is expected for any full featured video card. I knew all of this ahead of time so I do not really consider this a con.

Overall Review: Intel X3210 @ 3.45Ghz, Tuniq tower, Antec P182 case, 4gigs of Corsair XMS2 PC 6400 RAM, Antec Earthwatts 500W, ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35, 2x Seagate barracudas RAID 0 Card works in Ubuntu 8.04 too! I love Newegg for providing excellent products at excellent prices!

Most Critical Review

Waste of time, $, and my HD

BYTECC HD-201U2 (SILVER) Aluminum 2.5" IDE USB2.0 mini External Enclosure
BYTECC HD-201U2 (SILVER) Aluminum 2.5" IDE USB2.0 mini External Enclosure

Pros: Nice looking solid case

Cons: Went through two of these, none of which worked and now my hard drive is fried. I am very disappointed with the performance of this product, and do not recommend it. Maybe other brands are better.

Overall Review: I would recommend buying a pre-built external hard drive that works and has a warranty instead of fooling around with this. Or possibly trying a different brand.

Works GreaT

D-Link DGS-1024D Unmanaged 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch
D-Link DGS-1024D Unmanaged 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch

Pros: Runs gigabit speeds, "green" technology only uses 2-3 watts when not in heavy use (measured with kill-a-watt). Had no problems so far. Model I got has no fan and runs cool. Small size, mounted into a closet with ease taking up little space.

Cons: Lights could be easier to read since the LED's "bleed" together making it difficult to see which ports have activity.

Overall Review: Wired the house for gigabit, and needed a switch with at least 12 ports. This did the job, and for the price, I could not beat it. have a couple computers, a server and an xbox routed through it and it all works.

Works Great, Would buy Gskill again

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBSQ
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBSQ

Pros: Works great, laptop runs much better. Would recommend to others

Cons: none really, it just works....

Overall Review: Upgraded my wife's Compaq CQ-50 laptop with this memory along with windows 7 64bit and it runs much snappier now. Never purchased Gskill before, but I would again in the future.

Great game

Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 Game
Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Great game, with $20 gift card and free ship it was a no brainer. Liked the other 2 GoW and I like this one too. If you have GoW 1 & 2, you might as well ante up.

Cons: Same as the other Gears games before it - but that is why I bought it

Overall Review: Love the game, and love newegg for the great deals! Free shipping is awesome.

Great Deal

Gears of War Triple Pack Xbox 360 Game
Gears of War Triple Pack Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Nabbed it for 20 bucks with free ship - a steal for getting 2 brand new great games! Played both games, and they are both excellent! Definitely a must-have.

Cons: Doesn't go to work for me... Wish I had more time to play...

Overall Review: Great games, can't wait for the third installment. Gears reminds be of that Winback game for the nintendo 64 back in the day. If you liked that "duck and cover" style of play, you'll love this game.
