Pros: I fully trust my system to their UPS, which directly routes to my TripLite surge protector, from which all my sensitive equipment is powered.

Cons: I've never had a problem with any TripLite product I've used.

Most Critical Review

Compatibility Issues (again)

Logitech Gift - The Last Laugh
Logitech Gift - The Last Laugh

Pros: Once again, I cannot offer Pros for an item: I did not know this was not compatible with Windows XP 64 until I tried to install it.

Cons: I would dearly love it if New Egg would put in the effort to put detailed specs of items so I don't have to add to my ever growing collection of unusable hardware/software. Too often I buy what looks like a bargain; just to find out it won't work with my OS.

Overall Review: I'm just a bit tired of being lured into buying outdated hardware/software that is not compatible with my OS, and that information was not posted in the ad.

Great Case - wish they still made them

Pros: Huge space, easy access, lots of fans to keep everything cool, looks nice.

Cons: Only con I can think of is that it was discontinued; and makes me wish I could have afforded a dozen of them while they still made them

Great Keyboard - Still Using it

Pros: Love all the extra Function keys... makes many tasks much easier.

Cons: Just a bit tedious to write profiles for the Function keys; but worth the effort.

Excellent Router: one of the easiest to set up that I've come across. Nice touch to put the setup software on a flash drive.

Pros: Easy to install; easy to configure.

Cons: Difficult to reset when you forget your password. But that's not their fault...

Overall Review: Would like to know an easy way to reset to factory specs... having forgot my password, I cannot get it to wipe clean.

Basically a brick

Pros: Nothing to recommend it...

Cons: When I got this, I tried to use it. But found out it was set up for one, and only one, OS: Windows XP. Unfortunately, this OS is no longer supported by MS, so the computer would not work; nor could I install any other OS. So, essentially, I bought a brick. Since it would have cost me a 'restocking fee' (i.e.; they make their profit and get to resell it to some other sucker). So, I took the lose (caveat emptor) and parted it out for the usable components, and recycled the rest.
