Most Favorable Review

Great performer!

EnGenius ESG-8808 Gigabit Switch
EnGenius ESG-8808 Gigabit Switch

Pros: Small and pretty. Separate lights for 100 and 1000. Fast performer, no crashes.

Cons: The jacks are a bit loose, so make sure you set up this box in a safe place where it wont be moved around, because cables might disconnect.

Most Critical Review

DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK

ICY DOCK 4 Bay USB 3.0/ eSATA External HDD Enclosure with 120mm Cooling Fan - Black Vortex MB174U3S-4SB
ICY DOCK 4 Bay USB 3.0/ eSATA External HDD Enclosure with 120mm Cooling Fan - Black Vortex MB174U3S-4SB

Pros: The only pro I can think of is that it is pretty. It looks from the future although a bit juvenile. Silent fans and solid construction. Well packed.

Cons: THIS GARBAGE DESTROYED ALL MY DATA IN A DAY. I purchased this along two Seagate Ironwolf drives. Brand new drives. The irony of it was that I had two other drives (HGST) that were aging and I decided to be responsible and make a backup of them into new drives before anything could go wrong. What an irony indeed: I placed the two old drives along the two new drives and started copying about 5TB of DATA. Everything was nice, the unit was FAST and it felt really good --- until suddenly my mac gave an error stating that the operation could not be completed. When I looked, the 4 drives were not mounted. Hmm? I rebooted my mac and PUF, they were ALL GONE. This abomination from Satan WIPED THE FOUR DISKS AT THE SAME TIME IN AN INSTANT. To be technical, It managed to corrupt an APFS partition, and HFS Partition and and NTFS Partition. No drive survived. I wrote to them and they kindly offered to replace my box, the one that I had used for a SINGLE DAY and KILLED ALL MY DATA. I said Hell No and returned this thing. There is not justification for it wiping 4 disks at the same time. I had to purchase a $100 data recovery software (EASEUS for Mac) and I have managed to salvage around 60% of my data. The corruption is quite intense on this one. AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COSTS. Read the reviews and don't be like me saying 'I'll risk it, it was probably an idiot using it. This wont happen to me.' It will. And it will screw your life. AVOID.

Overall Review: AVOID THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

Extremely easy setup! Good performer!

D-Link Xtreme-N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (DAP-1522) Wireless N300, Dual-Band, Fast Ethernet
D-Link Xtreme-N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (DAP-1522) Wireless N300, Dual-Band, Fast Ethernet

Pros: Setting up this thing couldn't be easier, at least as an Access Point as I intended. It has a physical switch on the back that lets you choose whether it will be an AP, a bridge or Auto. Setting it into AP, plugging it into my existing LAN and powering it on was all needed to have a basic wireless network up and running. You then must access it to add a password, etc... I am very happy so far.

Cons: I had some troubles getting into the configuration page. I had to change my router address into the 192.168.0.x range, but not a big deal. Once it is setup, you can return it back and it will grab the correct IP address when restarted.

Superb Machine at at bargain

Shuttle SD30G2 Plus Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945GC Barebone
Shuttle SD30G2 Plus Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945GC Barebone

Pros: These little babies are pretty and fast performing. I purchased 4 of them for their looks and because I had limited space on my office. They were easy to set up and showed no problems of any kind. In my case, one of them actually had a problem with the power-off process, but I called Shuttle support and they managed to quickly guide me thru and fix the problem; so I can tell that their support team is actually good too!

Cons: Integrated graphics are poor, but for the office they are way sufficient. Also, DVI would have been preferred as the output.

Overall Review: I have purchased about 10 Shuttle PCs in the last 5 years, and still today not a single one has ever failed. They are superb quality! Also, they are PRETTY -- the pictures NEVER do justice to them, they really are much much nicer in person.

Not very good

Ziga GCRDMPJ7-ZUS-CA 7" 420 x 234 resolution Digital picture Frame
Ziga GCRDMPJ7-ZUS-CA 7" 420 x 234 resolution Digital picture Frame

Pros: The frame is cheap, and it is quite good looking (it surely looks better in person than in the pictures here). Extra black frame included.

Cons: Image quality is very poor. Colors appear washed out, over saturated. No random playback. Extremely tough to use interface. Images appear 'squished' regardless if you save em on a 16x9 ratio.

Overall Review: The frame was supposed to come with an 1gb card as a gift, which I didnt receive... I am still investigating on the matter to see who's fault is that.

One small tuner, one giant performer

Elgato EyeTV Hybrid 2008 TV Tuner Stick for Analog and HDTV Reception
Elgato EyeTV Hybrid 2008 TV Tuner Stick for Analog and HDTV Reception

Pros: This tuner is a very small, stylish unit. Image quality is very good (I have NOT tested the HDTV part of it). The software included is very simple, yet feature rich.

Cons: It draws a lot of system resources when recording. But on my Macbook White, I can use it at full quality without problems.

Overall Review: I only wish there were PC drivers as well for this tuner, as it is a VERY good piece of equipment.

Slow, never responded to email. Bad Faith.

This seller delayed almost a week to ship my item. I tried contacted newegg to ask about my order and newegg just forwarded me to call them directly. They never answered the phone. I proceeded to email them asking for my item and got no response. However, when I finally emailed them to cancel my order magically my item was marked as shipped 30 minutes later..... but was not actually shipped until two days after. Subpar business practices makes me angry and I cannot recommend buying from these people, and avoid newegg altogether for marketplace purchases since they do not stand by you either.
