Most Critical Review

Not reliable

OCZ Vertex Turbo 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXT60G
OCZ Vertex Turbo 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXT60G

Pros: Easy install, very very fast with both Windows XP and 7.

Cons: Not very reliable. 5 of the 9 I purchased in December 2009 have failed within a year. They just die and are not recognized by the bios in any PC.

Overall Review: I have had no problem getting them replaced by OCZ tech support but am very dissapointed they are failing. Will not purchase any more.

Excellent Case

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply
RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

Pros: Very sturdy. Nice looking case. Lots of room. Love the motherboard tray for easy installation. Tooless installation of drives. No sharp edges that I noticed. Didn't cut myself once. Great price with rebate.

Cons: Nothing major.. It's a little noisy in a quiet environment with all the fans running. The pins in the molex connectors for the fans were bent and hard to connect.

Overall Review: I replaced the power supply with something better. My Sapphire HD3870 video card is a little snug but fits. As usual NewEgg rocks!!!!

Excellent Monitor

SCEPTRE X20WG-Naga Black 20.1" 5ms (GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1,000:1, US Warranty

Pros: Brilliant display, no dead pixels, quality build, great price

Cons: Cheap plastic base, no height adjustment, no DVI cable included

Overall Review: Pro's blow away the con's so I gave it a 5. As usual, Newegg rocks!!!!

Great Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-M61PM-S2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-M61PM-S2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Price, size, layout of components, easy to install and configure, good manual

Cons: none

Overall Review: I have tested this motherboard with raid 0, 1, and 5. I installed an Opteron 1210 CPU with the recommended Kingston memory. Loaded Windows 2003 Server and it has worked great for 2 weeks. ***Newegg rocks!***

1 hard drive doa

Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast hard drive. Western Digital reputation.

Cons: 1 out of 2 DOA. Confirmed with WD support.

Overall Review: Past experiences with WD drives has been excellent but I have to rate this as average due to DOA drive. Newegg rocks!! Just about the best online ordering experience I have ever had.
