Most Favorable Review

I hope most of these reviews are WRONG

MSI 945GM3-F LGA 775 Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI 945GM3-F LGA 775 Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I hope all the negs on this mainboard are wrong. I've built a bunch of systems for customers with this one and haven't had any problems to speak of.

Cons: No RAID support.

Overall Review: Seems Newegg reviewers tend to be either inexperienced or "tweakers" that base reviews on how much performance they can squeeze out of a given piece of hardware. They should state that up front before they review a product.

Most Critical Review

Bad stick

PQI TURBO 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PQI26400-4GDB
PQI TURBO 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PQI26400-4GDB

Pros: 3 out of 4 worked

Cons: One bad

Overall Review: After less than 3 months newegg doesn't return these. Now , I guess I'm stuck going thru the manufacturer. Too bad I rebuilt my RAID twice because the memory problem was mimicking a RAID/HDD problem. :(

Good router, small size

BELKIN F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router 802.11g
BELKIN F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router 802.11g

Pros: Nice small size. Easy to carry around if you are reselling. GREAT Lifetime warranty from Belkin.

Cons: None. You can't beat this product at this price.

Overall Review: Only possible drawback to this router is that I don't believe you can flash with better firmware like DD-WRT. However, that's not really a con just a fact with most routers other than Linksys and most people don't reflash anyway!

Good SATA Cable

OKGEAR 18" SATA 6 Gbps Cable, Straight to Straight W/ Metal Latch, Silver, Backward Compatible 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps
OKGEAR 18" SATA 6 Gbps Cable, Straight to Straight W/ Metal Latch, Silver, Backward Compatible 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps

Pros: The clips keep a good connection to the drives to prevent pullout

Cons: None.

Overall Review: SATA 2 cables are the same as any other cable except they usually have a retention clip - so just better quality.

How much longer can we buy XP? :)

Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2B 1 Pack

Pros: N/A

Cons: WINDOWS

Overall Review: I've heard we won't be able to buy XP someday soon. Is this true? Hmmm.

OK, Customer managed to fry in less than a week

NETGEAR 16-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, ProSAFE Lifetime Protection (FS116NA)
NETGEAR 16-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, ProSAFE Lifetime Protection (FS116NA)

Pros: Not sure.

Cons: Dead in a week. All the lights blinking. Not functioning properly.

Overall Review: Maybe the place I installed it got hit with a surge or maybe this thing is just a hunk o' junk?
