Most Favorable Review

Awful Service at Microsoft, but NewEgg for the WIN!

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials 64B 1-2CPU
Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials 64B 1-2CPU

Pros: NewEgg was the only pro. They were able to send me a new disc. I got it install, the OS isn't too bad. Much different that the Windows 2003 system I upgraded. Definitely great for small business or the advanced home server user.

Cons: The installation media I had originally received was corrupt or had a bad sector. None of the systems I had could read the disc. After contacting NewEgg, they informed me to contact Microsoft. After being transfered 8 times I was told that I had to pay $500 to speak to a tech about exchanging the software disc. Guess I just wasted $400. I got a hold of New Egg again and after a few weeks of emails back and forth, a new install DVD showed up at my door.

Overall Review: Thanks New Egg. You guys are great. Keep up the great work! This is just a reminder of why I keep buying from you guys. Even if its not the lowest price (which almost 99% of the time it is), I'd still buy from New Egg!

It Does its Job!

Pros: Does what it says. I don't know how you can possibly do worse or better. Fits the Intel SSD drives fine. Works great if you want to properly mount a 2.5" HD.

Cons: None

Overall Review: What do you expect for a $5 piece of plastic reducing 3.5" to 2.5".

Intel Drives it Home!

Pros: Its Intel, they've always made great products, runs in a pfsense box, very speedy network connection.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Recommend for anyone looking to add another NIC.

LITE-ON Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-104 8U

Pros: Great DVD-ROM. No issues, purchased this because I was upgrading and rebuilding servers. Since I'm not constantly playing DVDs or install disc based software I just swap it between servers and leave it laying on the shelf till I need it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Its a great ROM drive for the price, great for servers since most OS is DVD based.

Awesome!

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

Pros: Great value. Never had an issue, runs great on my little pfsense box. 4GB is a little overkill, but for not even $30 you can't pass it up.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Highly recommended for a cheap, low-end build.
