Nice

Pros: I wanted to use an older but new case I had had for awhile. It's front audio ports were too old style to be of any use. I wasn't even sure the front USB was 2.0. I looked for a front panel that might help me with this. When I found this nMEDIAPC ZE-98 I thought it would take care of my problems if it didn't turn into just another problem in itself. I don't normally take time to review products, but this one worked so well I just had to give it its do. I had never heard of nMEDIAPC and a couple of reviews were a little iffy, but I went ahead and ordered it. I am so pleased with this. I put it in my HTPC. There is three USB 2.0. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse so it was nice to have the mini-receliver plugged in the front(much better reciption) and still have 2 USB ports free. The card slots take care of my camera(CF) and cell phone(SDmicro w/adapter) pic's & videos. The eSATA works great with back-ups and large video files. I have no IEEE 1394 devices.
Cons: I didn't find it sooner.
Overall Review: This unit looks great in the 5.25 slot right under my DVD-ROM and DVD-RW. Just a great product. Would buy agin. Would recommend to a friend.
DDR3 1600 CL9

Pros: Added this set when on sale to another set I had for total of 8G. I had read in G.Skill Forum some timings I wanted to try. I set these at - 1333 @ 7-7-7-21; 15V. Win7 liked the 8G's of mem, my MSI Motherboard liked the timings and I bumped up my Phenom II X2 555 a click to 34Ghz and it purr's like a kitten(guess I'm not a real overclocker). Ha. I use this for a HTPC.
Cons: The 4GBNQ was the only heatsinked mem that I could get between my mobo and the hard drive cage in this matx case. Really, like its right up against it.
Overall Review: I know that a lot of people have complained about their bio's not picking it up at 1600 -- that your motherboard's problem. Not the mem's. If a bio update dosen't fix it then you will need to set it manually. If you are so inclined, check out G.Skill's Forum. There is alot of good information there.
Best bang for the bucks

Pros: Not one dead Pixel. Got monitor on sale. Thanks Newegg. To get one just a little better would cost twice the price. Stand is adequate. Picture is bright and clear. Small bezel. Great monitor for average user.
Cons: Bought this for my wife's computer I'm building. Hooked it up to my computer to check it out for dead pixels, etc. My only con is that I have to give it up. Should have bought two.
Overall Review: Great job as always Newegg.
Order was seamless to newegg.
Product shipped fast and packed well. Would not hesitate to use this company again. Would recommend to others.
