Finally...

LSI MegaRAID SATA / SAS 9260-4i 6Gb/s PCI-Express 2.0 w/ 512MB Onboard Memory RAID Controller Card, Single--Avago Technologies
LSI MegaRAID SATA / SAS 9260-4i 6Gb/s PCI-Express 2.0 w/ 512MB Onboard Memory RAID Controller Card, Single--Avago Technologies

Pros: it actually lets my 4x ocz vertex 30gig ssd drives run at full speed in raid0. finally...

Cons: none

Overall Review: nice to let my drives finally breathe. over a gig is their norm on this card, as they have room to move. price to performance, LSI did good here. real good. for present gen ssds, this is a sweet spot of a gem. no need to buy a $1,200 card w/2gigs cache to let them loose ;)

junk

Pioneer USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD Portable Burner Model BDR-XD05B
Pioneer USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD Portable Burner Model BDR-XD05B

Pros: worked great for 3 days

Cons: after tax and all, $100 piece of junk

Overall Review: i think newegg buys seconds of these drives, and sells them as proper stock. this is the third drive from newegg that died after a short time period of time. buy this from another etailer, as this is the last dime i'm spending here.

Very good indeed

Pros: works, looks good, rips the fastest true bit copies/no errors compared to the many internal/external drives i've owned.

Cons: none

Overall Review: i can't believe that this drive is so inexpensive. a very good deal indeed.

total junk

Pros: none. cheap junk. avoid!

Cons: junk. a $5 drive in a flimsy $3 case. junk. worked for almost two hours. almost. forget this "brand": it's a cheap mobile drive in a cheap case...not sure re the hype around these. they are really bad. total ripoff.

awesome 7970

HIS Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H797F3G2M
HIS Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card H797F3G2M

Pros: reference design, so i was able to flash it to that official amd/ati ghz card bios. a few seconds later, and it's at 1050/1500 stable, haven't touched anything else yet, performance is smooth as silk, yes, this is the blue pcb/no cross brace, but there are a bunch of after market backplates available if you want. beautiful match for my Crossover 2560x1440 glossy monitor!

Cons: none.

Overall Review: i love backplates, so having a simple black aluminum one made, though a beauty of a card as it is. 12.11 beta are stable here. very pleased

DoubleSight DS-275W Black 27" 6ms (GTG) WQHD H-IPS Panel Widescreen LCD Monitor
DoubleSight DS-275W Black 27" 6ms (GTG) WQHD H-IPS Panel Widescreen LCD Monitor

Pros: ...an all brushed aluminum, stripped down u2711, A+ H-IPS panel, low lag 2560x1440 monitor, for $300+less than the u2711.

Cons: stand is not brushed aluminum...and for anti AG users, this panel has 'ultrasharp'-like AG. it is not a glossy display.

Overall Review: i was on the fence re picking up one of those 'bay cheap A- ips, or the few similar though A panel models advertised as available in the states, though out of stock most of the time (with reported similar issues to the cheap 'bay A- monitors), a U2711, or an Asus PLS 2560x1440...and then there was the doublesight... before newegg dropped it's price, i had picked up the doublesight from another vendor. for this quality of a panel, at it's present price, and from newegg? unless you want to spend $900+ re a u2711, or around the same price as the doublesight as listed here, for an iffy, always out of stock, iffy (maybe A+ panel), plastic, high lag (you know who you are) models from a few usa vendors, or take your chances with 'bay sub par panels/pcb/build quality/questionable at best warranty, i'd go for the doublesight.
