Most Favorable Review

Great case, be careful w/ rebate

XION Stacker XON-791B Black Steel Chassis with Aluminum Front Door ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
XION Stacker XON-791B Black Steel Chassis with Aluminum Front Door ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Large case, comes with fans, killer rebate*, USB & "front" audio on top is great.

Cons: Missing a couple MB stands, not a huge issue. Front(top) Mic in did not work - not sure if it's case or mobo.

Overall Review: Keep an eye on your rebate. After 3+ months I emailed them to see the status and they replied saying it was in the mail...at least they responded on the same day.

Most Critical Review

good card, noisy fan

EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N761-AR

Pros: Added around 20 fps from my 7600GS, had a rebate, good overall value

Cons: Annoying fan makes a high pitched noise while at full speed - not too bad, but definately noticeable.

Pointless Rebate?

Pros: price

Cons: Rebate - In looking at the terms, there appears no way for newegg customers to use the rebate as they will not accept packing slips or email sales orders.

Overall Review: I have not purchased this drive yet, and may decide not to.

Seems OK, rebate is a scam

Pros: Good size for the price. Seems to work OK (using for back-up).

Cons: Terrible process for rebate. Submitted in July and now they're telling me they never got the info. Glad I wasted the UPC and all the time jumping through the online and mail in hoops...just to get nothing an no help.

Overall Review: Rebates are great...when you get them.

OK drive, rebate rip off

CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB2.0-16GB
CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB2.0-16GB

Pros: Lots of space, good price (esp. w/ rebate)

Cons: only 15GB & change (expected) Rebate process is bill. Bunch of online hoops to jump through and still have to mail in everything...and no word since July. I checked the site and it says I don't qualify and will get an email by NOV 5. I never got an email. Nice to know I wasted the UPC and all that time jumping through hoops to get nothing.

Overall Review: Rebates are nice, but many manufacturers have a terrible process to redeem.

Pros: Good reviews, price.

Cons: Disappointing that the retail box only came with the drive. No software, no cables. I should have just gotten an OEM drive.

Overall Review: I haven't installed yet since i didn't get any cables to connect it with.
