In this case, no more corsair for me!

Pros: With 20 dollar rebate, this was 29.99. Its a really nice case, sturdy, and the fans are quiet. I wish it had more HD banks, and I dont like the HD connectors being on the reverse side of the case, making you have to take both sides of the case off to service them. I want to disable the fan lights, I see no need for them.
Cons: Being a HUGE corsair fan, and I have spent a lot of money with them. This case is nice, and the fans are quiet. This product was supposed to give a 20 dollar rebate, but they only sent me 10. I sent them an email and called, and they blew me off. Now, 10 bucks isnt a lot of money, but stealing 10 bucks from me makes me mad, and its just the principle of it. This is exactly why I hate rebates. They bank on the people that dont send them in. In this case, my dealings with Corsair, are done.
Overall Review: New Egg is a Stand Up Company. They immediately gave me a 10 gift card. I have to say, once again, I love NEW EGG!! I only wish they would start looking at these vendors, and making them accountable for lying and stealing.
Easy plug and play setup, terrible lighting and mouse usage.

Pros: Small, easier than the logitech 400 if it worked right!
Cons: The back light really sucks. Its like they put 2 leds in it, and you only get that area. The mouse part of this absolutely sucks, it jumps and is erratic, making it really a challenge to use. I think I will spend the extra bucks and get one that works. I have a Rii that is like a tank.
Overall Review: NO, spend the extra 8 bucks and get a good Rii pad. This thing is frustrating to say the least.
ASUS needs some work!

Pros: Its pretty, has all the stuff you need to be a nice board. Love the audio out, the placement of the card connectors and I also love the software, Al Suite is pretty awesome. The bios upgrade doesnt work. The bios itself is easily understandable, and I had this board up and running in minutes. I like that!
Cons: About 6 months into my ownership, the fan controllers started whacking out, running all my fans at full speed. Called Asus, they offered to replace it, and they sent me another rebuilt faulty board, i called them back, and got another rebuilt board with the same thing. Not to mention, you have to put your credit card up for collateral, while your waiting for a replacement. I am going to call today, for the 4th replacement board. I really am dissapointed in ASUS. I was really excited to get this board. It saddens me to write a review like this.
Overall Review: Look, I loved ASUS. But as soon as you pull up fan M5A97, everyone has issues with the fan controllers on this board. I would think, we could call it a LEMON board. Asus should make this right for those of us who have had issues and either fix the problem, or replace the board with another product. I dont know how companies get away with products that dont work. And I empathize with the service dept at ASUS. Im sorry, but this board just isnt a very good product.
The Company That Was!

Pros: Might be cheap, but you get what you pay for! I have used kingston brand for years, they used to be great!
Cons: So, now, if you have a product, and you dont KEEP the receipt, and it dies, they will send you another, but shorten your warranty to 60 days. So you loose your warranty.
Overall Review: Lots of kingston parts have come across my desk. Lots of other have too, but I have never had the misfortune of dealing with a company who have NO regard for the customer. I would much rather deal with a company that stood by the customer, and the product, These people fall short!
Never Buy from Kingston

Pros: Cheap, but there is a reason!
Cons: These people DO NOT stand by their warranty. You call them and they dont call you back. Then after you badger them, they will exchange your product and take your warranty away for a month warranty!
Overall Review: I wont ever buy from this company again. Most every company I have dealt with will go above and beyond for your business, but not Kingston, they dont care. They got your money, and they are in control from that point on. I love the EGG, but never Kingston again
Dangit, why am I so cheap?

Pros: For 30 bucks, I really cant say it was a bad deal. It was really better than what i have, so I cannot complain. Its also letting me play some games I can with my current card.
Cons: I noticed that it was glitching, and then my rig blue screened, the card was only showing yellow.
Overall Review: Hey, for the money, (and now with my RMA I have 40 bucks invested) I suggest you move to the 69 dollar cards.
NICE!!
FAST FAST FAST Service!! This is my 3rd order from these dudes, and besides the big thumbprint on the last drive(must been eatin chips), these little 160 gig drives are working fine! Perfect for little builds!
great for 20 bucks, slow delivery
I would have given this a 4 egg, but it took way too long to be delivered.
