Works great

ASUS Desktop PC Eee Box EBXB202-BLK-X0081 Intel Atom N270 1GB DDR2 160GB HDD Intel GMA 950 Windows XP Home

Pros: Fairly quick, very small, quiet, large hard drive, Windows XP, inexpensive.

Cons: Seems somewhat finicky about outlet grounding. Don't know for sure, though. Had to upgrade an older router to newer firmware to be compatible with the N-Wireless. Once I did that, no more lost packets. But that's not the Eee's fault. Graphics are on par with any onboard video. Photo screensavers aren't smooth, but they look ok.

Overall Review: Installed for my grandparents. They were used to XP, so I didn't want to change anything on them. Works great. Looks just as good as any all-in-one when mounted to the back of the LCD, and is a lot easier to service if there's problems (eg: can replace just the monitor if I need to)n

Most Critical Review

Watch out

BELKIN BE108230-06 6 Feet 8 Outlets 3390 Joules Surge Suppressor with Coax Protection
BELKIN BE108230-06 6 Feet 8 Outlets 3390 Joules Surge Suppressor with Coax Protection

Pros: None

Cons: I purchased a few of these for sale to my customers. I was trying one out on my laptop (and only my laptop), left the room, and when I came back, the laptop was in sleep mode. For some reason, the power strip shut off, never to come back on again. Luckily, nothing was damaged. There was a somewhat bad smell coming from it though.

Overall Review: Well, with the price of shipping this thing for replacement + the time to do it, it's not worth RMAing. I'll just stay away from these in the future!

Nope

HP Laptop ProBook Intel Core i3-2310M 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 32-bit 4530s (XU016UT#ABA)

Pros: It looks nice.

Cons: This is a Windows 7 32-bit PC, not 64-bit. I called this to NE's attention more than a week ago, and there has been no change of the product's page, so here's your heads up.

Overall Review: The RMA process took me 4 phone calls!

Not exacltly

Lenmar Black Replaces BP-4L Battery for Nokia Cellular Phones (CLKBP4L)
Lenmar Black Replaces BP-4L Battery for Nokia Cellular Phones (CLKBP4L)

Pros: It arrived.

Cons: I received this battery, and immediately noticed it is NOT the item in the photo. The battery is clearly an AFTERMARKET item. I was under the impression that perhaps Lenmar was the OE for Nokia on the battery and that I would be getting a genuine item. Also, when I use this battery, my phone turns itself off at least 3 times daily - this is a horrible item.

Overall Review: Interestingly, I wrote a review and contacted Newegg about this when I first purchased the battery. The review never showed up and the picture still shows the OEM battery. THIS ISN'T THE "NOKIA BRAND" BATTERY.

Poorly packaged

PowerColor Radeon HD 4350 256MB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card AX4350 256MD2-H

Pros: Good specs

Cons: I ordered 5 of these to place into new machines. 2 of the 5 were damaged to the point that I didn't trust them. They are wrapped in static safe bubble wrap. The problem is that if they are jarred in shipment at all, the weight of the card (taking into consideration the heavy heatsink) puts pressure on the sheet metal slot that sticks out of the PC. When this weight comes down just right, a small transistor can pop off of the card - like on 1 of mine. Therefore, I wouldn't suggest this card.

Another bad product

SYBA 2-port eSATA II, 34mm ExpressCard, SY-EXP40024
SYBA 2-port eSATA II, 34mm ExpressCard, SY-EXP40024

Pros: Looks pretty

Cons: This won't fit in my Sony SZ series laptop. I can't see why, but it won't lock into the contacts.

Overall Review: Won't be worth the time / shipping to get this returned.
