Most Favorable Review

Fabulous

EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P3-1559-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P3-1559-KR

Pros: Although what I do is hardly a severe test, I have not been able to make this card work up a sweat in the least. 2 gigs for a reasonble price and a free game to boot.

Cons: I am somewhat concerned about the fact that they ask you to remove a sticker labeled "removal will void warranty" (not an exact quote) to redeem the rebate.

Most Critical Review

Nice, until it fell apart...

PLANTRONICS Over the Ear Bluetooth Headset (Voyager 510)
PLANTRONICS Over the Ear Bluetooth Headset (Voyager 510)

Pros: Comfortable, excellent sound quality, great range, good battery life.

Cons: Rubber part disintigrated in less then a year, but AFTER the warranty expired. Somewhat limitied volume...poor if you work in a noisy environment.

Overall Review: I liked this headset quite alot, until about 3 months ago. I'm pretty gentle with my electronics, so I was surprised when I saw the rubber seperating from the part of the device that goes behind the ear. Over the period of about a month, this progressed and then the rest of the rubber piece connecting to the mic boom began to disintigrate until the thing was completely unuseable...although it still worked electronically. My skin is somewhat oily, but not exceptionally, so I feel that I must count this as a serious defect in an otherwise nice product. I found this unacceptable, out of warranty or not, and wrote to Plantronics about it. Their reply was that they would happily repair or replace it...if it was still under warranty. This leads me to wonder if they even actually read my message. since I clearly told them how long I had owned and realized that it was out of warranty.

Did not work

D-Link GO-SW-8GE 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Metal Desktop Switch
D-Link GO-SW-8GE 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Metal Desktop Switch

Pros: Small, sturdy feeling metal case.

Cons: Power port on the SIDE of all things... Mine simply did not work; the lights come on in the normal way, but none of the connected devices (printers, computers) could see each other on the network.

Overall Review: I have had good luck with D-Link in the past, so I anticipate that I will have better luck with a replacement. I have started the RMA process, and will update this review if the new one behaves better.

2 out of 4...

Pros: Very fast, great bargain when they work...

Cons: I purchased 4 of these to use as a stripe set in a new build, and 2 have failed so far.

Gets the job done

EVGA 430 W1 100-W1-0430-KR 80+ WHITE 430W Power Supply

Pros: Great price, quality PSU.

Cons: Rebate. Another rebate where you better make sure you dot every I and cross every t because they will try to find and excuse to deny it. My printer was low on ink, but I checked the invoice before sending and know for a fact that everything was readable. They still tried to say that they were unable verify the date on the invoice and denied my rebate the first time.

2 bad ones

inland 70119 Black RF Wireless Standard Mouse Keyboard Combo Set
inland 70119 Black RF Wireless Standard Mouse Keyboard Combo Set

Pros: Cheap, newegg has fabulous customer service.

Cons: Constantly disconnects. Repeatedly followed instructions to the letter, and still could not keep it working for more than a minute without it disconnecting. I RMA'd the first one, and experienced identical results with the replacement so sent it back for a refund. Don't quite know how this is possible, but it even even corrupted my my standard mouse and keyboard drivers somehow, forcing my to reset my system to an earlier date to get them back working. I replaced with a microsoft (item # N82E16823109236) that worked perfect, first time, out of the box.

Overall Review: In fairness, this device had decent reviews, so it is possible that I simply had bad luck with 2 lemons in a row.

Slow

It took over a week for them to put the item on the truck for shipment. Simply unacceptable.
