BuckeyeMiniITX_Build
Pros: Powers 16g Ballistix, 840 Pro HD, 3570K CPU, MSI E77-53 board, 2 purple fans, & Xonar sound card without a hiccup. Fairly silent.
Cons: Mine had the side panel tab out of place and slightly damaged, like it was squished BEFORE PACKAGING. The box was not so I had to laugh at the QC decal. Speaking of Decals, I read a review on this PS & it showed a nice Corsair case decal. I didn't get one (boo hoo).
Overall Review: Newegg rocks.
Broken part 1st use
Pros: If you do bench work on PC's, this will be invaluable.
Cons: Outside cheap sata power adapter connector, nothing yet. 1st use was on a sata drive recovery. Power connector was so tight on the power supply end, I thought it was deformed. Unplugged it after 1st use and Pin 4 stuck on the power inverter converter end and was sticking out of the adapter. No biggie, soldered another connector from a fan I had but poor molding, workmanship.
Overall Review: Piddly break, but 1st use..................kinda ticked, but this thing will put jing in my pocket over time.
Perfect Sempron Budget build stick
Pros: Cheap, colorful heat spreader, no issues. Built my sister a simple web browser / Sempron 2650 / with Gigabyte AM1 board, 120G Kingston SSD, This memory stick & $22 Antec case. Less than $200 shipped. I strongly suggest going up to the Sempron 3800 series quad core for 12 bones. Memory tested as advertised. I am no where near utilizing all 4G, just browsing, no gaming.
Cons: Zilch
Overall Review: Guess I got a good stick, but it performs as advertised & flawless.
Another 45130 dude
Pros: I can pull in all Cincinnati and Dayton stations from 45130 which is great with a 50" HD LG TV. This thing is tough because the black cover over the center was cracked when I got it, the package looked like it had been ran over with a tank. I put some clear silicone over the crack, let it dry overnight, & mounted it. I am impressed with this wounded warrior lol.
Cons: Shipping destroyed this thing, but a little protective silione and voila, I didn't feel like shipping it back.
Overall Review: With a great deal on the 50" TV from Newegg, this antennae, I get all the networks and more and no bill, no bills. Yea man!
Good Value IMO
Pros: Bluetooth Sub, easy menus, auto on/off with my new 50" LG TV. Lightweight. Rented the new Star Trek movie last night, feel I got my $ worth. During the surprise explosions & action scenes sound was just like a small movie theatre, decent bass, adequate, but I cant see 300 Watts rating. I would reccomend one to a friend on a budget.
Cons: Optical only like my new LG 50" TV, hummmmm lol. If I wanted to try my M-Audio AV 40's I cant. I knew this playing cards though lol.
Overall Review: Sub has less guts than i expected, but I'm not disappointed for a couple hundred bones.
Impressed
Pros: Clean crisp image, LED, easy set up. For the money, I am happy, great picture.
Cons: Digital Audio out is only option. Awaiting 300W LG soundbar to pair up with this TV. Sound is weak like any TV.
Overall Review: Shipping was quick, not 1 knick on the box, I was shocked.
