EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3, 220-G3-1000-X1, 80+ GOLD, 1000W Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode with New HDB Fan, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3, 220-G3-1000-X1, 80+ GOLD, 1000W Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode with New HDB Fan, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply

Pros: Compact size, fully modular, plenty of cables (see cons), supplied power as advertise and ten year warranty.

Cons: Although there are plenty of cables, could have use one more cable with Molex connectors, and found that the cables could be a a few inches longer. Especially if you have a full size case, and the power supply is mounted on the bottom. Having two optical drives mounted in the upper part of my case, and trying to run the Sata power connectors under the mother board and to the drives just barely made it. Also, it would have been easier if the power connectors were the right way. I had to twist them 180 degrees to fit the drives. If the power supply was mounted on top, the connectors would have been fine, but a good percentage of cases mount them on the bottom now.

Overall Review: Not a con, but the power supply is very light. Especially if you come from an older high quality power supply like I did (PC Power and Cooling Silencer MKII 950 watt). There was some weight to that. Also, take note, some of the cables have built in capacitors.

ADATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model AD2U800B2G5-DRH

Pros: When you get a working set, they work.

Cons: Installed 2x2Gb of this in a known good system, and got the blue screen hardware failure noticed in a Vista computer. Ran Memtest86+ via usb drive. One stick no errors, tested the other, got to 26%, and 5000+ errors!

Overall Review: I purchased a set of these a year ago, and had no problems. Decided to throw together a system for my nephew with some parts I had hanging around, and ordered another set. So far 1 for two. Requested an rma. To NewEgg, Really is poor customer service for the customer to pay return shipping for an rma. I've work for several companies over my 50+ years, we either issued a call tag, credited the customer for shipping, or crossed shipped for a faulty item.

Pros: I purchased two of these for 139.99 each on sale from NewEgg back in January of 2017. They are both in service as of now, running my son's, and my PC's. They have seen cpu's like the 3770K up to the newest 11900k. As well power 1070 to the 3070. I Like the compact size, fully modular cables, and ten year warranty.

Cons: None to speak of since purchased.

Overall Review: I cannot speak of the Eco mode issue I read about, since I never used it, or had the desired to do so. Never heard the fan on the power supply, only fan I ever hear ramp up are the video cards.

Overall Review: Nothing to say, it works.

Poor engineering and/or manufacturing.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller - Black
Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller - Black

Pros: There really isn't any pros. Maybe one, my son did not buy it, I purchased them for him

Cons: Thought they might have improved this version over V1, I was wrong. First one, right bumper broke after 2 months. Sent it back under rma, took about 2-3 months to get back. Thankfully, I had a back-up. Once the rma came back, took the back-up stored it, and told my son use the rma unit. 3-4 months in, right bumper broke again. Once you rma the first once, you only get like 90 days for the returned rma unit, so no warranty now. I took apart and tried to repaired, lasted about month and a half. I fixed again, and a month later the left joy stick doesn't work, getting drift. The controller just is not designed to last long term with continued usage.

Overall Review: This is a poor investment, especially for someone looking for something to last for a while before breaking, and it will break. My son is on his back up again, once this breaks no more Elite controllers. I already purchased The Xbox series X oem controller for his new back for a 3rd of the cost, at least if that breaks, it cost a lot less. Personally for me, PC, keyboard, and mouse forever.

Still going since 2/09/12

PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire Intel Haswell Ready Power Supply

Pros: Just a quick summary. Unit has been reliable for 2.5+ years, and still going strong. This unit has a 7yr warranty from date of purchase.

Cons: Non modular, and long cables. But, knew that at time of purchase.

Overall Review: I like how the fan in the power supply stays on for a little bit after powering down the pc. This was a steal for $149.00 at the time.

Item was actually as described. Although, shipping was free, it was slow due to being only ground shipping. Company should have more shipping l options at a reasonable price.
