These are hard to find

Rosewill RCW-310 - 12" Dual-Fan Power Y-Cable - 1 Male to 2 Female
Rosewill RCW-310 - 12" Dual-Fan Power Y-Cable - 1 Male to 2 Female

Pros: 2 female connectors. 1 male connector. I needed some of these so I could plug one female connector to my fan controller and the other female connector to my motherboard. That gives you one male connector to plug in your fan. I followed the advice of other reviewers and cut the red wire on the connector I used for the MB. My fan controller powers the fan, and my MB (bios) detects my fan speeds. Perfect!

Cons: I wanted to order 3-4 of these. I apparently bought the last 2 available. I hope that they get more of these! I might have to try and make my own if they don't!

Overall Review: Motherboard: abit IP35 Pro (6 fan connectors) Fan Controller: SunBeam Tech Rheosmart 6

Very good fan controller.

Rheosmart 6 Fan Controller 5.25" Bay 6 Channel 30W Fan Controller Panel (Black)

Pros: Simple. Easy to install. Lights are behind grill so they're not to bright. easy to use. Quieted down my MASSCOOL drive bay fans nicely.(They used to run at full speed. Rattled a bit at start-up).

Cons: I wish I could buy more 3 pin fan monitor cables somewhere.

Overall Review: My MB has 6 fan connectors. Only 2 of the cables included can be plugged into my board, a fan, and the controller. If I had 4 more of the (RS-1) cables I could adjust the fans with more flexibility in my bios using the manual control settings. This is by no means a con. Overall I'm very happy with this controller.

Nice card

ASUS GeForce GTS 250 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTS250/DI/512MD3/WW

Pros: This card replaced an evga 8600gts that died. (My last evga card after dealing with their tech support). Everything about it is better than expected. Games are showing effects that I didn't realize existed until now. The rendering is smooth and the depth of field is awesome! Card is quiet. Fits easily into my hp. This card was installed in an: HP Pavilion a1520n 3 gigs of ram 500watt psu

Cons: none.

Overall Review: As always NEWEGG was fast!

Just what I Needed

Rosewill RCW-608 USB Type C to SATA Adapter Cable for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD, Support SATA III / II / I and UASP
Rosewill RCW-608 USB Type C to SATA Adapter Cable for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD, Support SATA III / II / I and UASP

Pros: This is actually better than I thought it would be. The quality is decent. Very simple directions. Has all the connectors I need. Everything is included to read/copy/format drives. Even has a driver disk for Windows 98.

Cons: Text in manual is in small print! Needed my magnifying glass to read.

Overall Review: AC cord is a little snug at power adapter. I didn't expect the rubber drive enclosures that came with it. If you read the simple directions I don't see how you could fry a drive.

Prolonged life of older system

Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 333 (PC 2700) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT12864Z335
Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 333 (PC 2700) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT12864Z335

Pros: I sacrificed (removed) the 512mb module in slot one in order to max. an ASUS A7V8X-X board out at 2 gigs. of PC2700. When running dual sided modules this board only lets you fill 2 of the 3 DIMM sockets. 2X1GB modules are the maximum I could have. This is a great upgrade for an older computer. I've run almost 10 complete passes (21+hours) of Memtest86 v4.10 with no errors. This memory and an AGP card upgrade have prolonged the life of this computer for approx. $125.00. I highly recommend.

Cons: eggsaver shipping took almost a week.-not a complaint.

Overall Review: This 2 GB upgrade kit and a new 256MB AGP X8 graphics card have added new life to an older system. ASUS A7V8X-X Athlon XP CPU Crucial 2X1GB DDR 333 PC2700 EVGA GeForce 6200LE 256MB

abit IP35pro rev.1

OCZ Platinum Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory with Exclusive Bundle of OCZ XTC Fan Model OCZ2P10664GK-XTCC
OCZ Platinum Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory with Exclusive Bundle of OCZ XTC Fan Model OCZ2P10664GK-XTCC

Pros: It's working great. I ordered this to see if it would run with my other 4 gigs. Also I had an empty fan connector on my board still. I'm running 8 gigs of this under the spiffy looking fan with blue lights that nobody can see. My Q6600 is O-C'd to 3.20 GHz and the ram is running at 1068MHz

Cons: I wish the fan set a little more snuggly. Mounting bracket is awfully close to the back of my EVGA 9800GTX+ circuit board.

Overall Review: OCZ support was very helpful.
