Pros: - I have been buying EVGA cards for way over 15 years now, my very first from them was GeForce2 and never had any problems that I could have not resolve with a quickness and professionalism with them. Currently I still have 6 cards by EVGA in my possession, two 8800GTS 640mbs, one 8800GTS 320mbs (btw all 3 are perfectly working even over 10 years now), two GTX660's ,One GTX970 and now this GTX 1080. To be honest I was not mindblown by the performance increase of the 1080, maybe my expectations were unrealistic and maybe the GTX970 was good enough for most games at 1080p, except when more memory is needed to fit all those details on large textures, we all know the 970 was actually 3.5gb and 4. Again for $550, one would expect a double of the performance of the previous card. Anyway, since I am not planing to upgrade to 4K monitor till the prices go way down and the performance of the IPS gets to 1ms response time plus 144hz, I will be good with this card while playing everything maxed out on 1080p. Now lets talk about the specifics of the hardware, which is much more impressive than the actual practical performance. - The card is extremely cool, with ambient temperature of 22c, the card idles at 32-33c (keep in mind the fans are not kicking in till around 60c), and when playing/benching the temperature never went over 66-68c. Thats impressive, the GTX970 was doing 39c and 74c in same environment (Corsair 800D case) and ambient temperature. - The new ICX cooling is pretty impressive too, I really like all the temperature sensors EVGA placed on the Ram and VRMs, gives me a real time information on everything, kudos for that, oh and not to forget for the extra fuse for safety, everyone should do the same. I know EVGA went extra safe after last year's fiasco, but there is an abundance of thermal pads, plates and radiators all over the board, that is great! Back in 2014 when I got the GTX970, I had to get the backplate separately now its all coming preinstalled and well engineered with proper cutouts to allow accurate ventilation. - The overall construction is extremely solid and sturdy, very compact compared to most manufacturers. - No coil whine, maybe I am lucky, the last card GTX970 had some coil whine, but nothing too loud, this one is dead silent so far. - Super quiet fans, although they are the exact same as the ones on the ACX2.0 GTX970 I had for the last 3 years, its definitely worth mentioning that I was sceptical initially back then, and thought that fans that are pulling the hear away from the board instead of pushing cold air down, would not perform as well, but I was wrong. Not only that, but there is almost zero dust accumulated on the propellers after all that period and we all know how detrimental to PC's performance dust is, not to mention terrible looking. - Single 8 pin connector (more of a personal preference), realistically with all the BIOS limitations even with extra power you probably not going to achieve some big overclock and even then your performance gain will be less than 5%. - Technically the card has a boost of 1847mhz, but without any overclocking mine goes up to 1974mhz and while gaming for hours locks at 1964mhz, with initial boost of 2012mhz while still cold and temperatures are under 60c. For me this is extremely impressive, considering it's not a FTW or a Classified card and it cost less, plus the fact that boost over 100mhz from the spec without any effort. I with with this architecture we still had the ASIC score, I would have loved to know what is my %, because those are some impressive boost numbers, at least to me. - 3 year of warranty is great, back in the day they had a lifetime, but still not bad, plus there is an option to buy an extended one, which I am planning to buy, at least to have it up to 5 years. Slightly disappointed that we have to pay money now for "Advanced RMA" - Overall a great piece of hardware and I am glad to see the progress in the industry for the last 20 years, we came a long way with the graphics! Good job EVGA.

Cons: - I get where the industry is going and the trends with the LEDs, but I am personally not a fan, it's not really necessary and is too much in your face, but it is what it is. - Second is more of an observation really, price, for a GPU that is over an year old, the price should be under $400 and not over $500. - Next one, game bundles are nice, but I would prefer to have those $60 off the card price, especially if the game is not something I would be buying in a first place. - Last one, Rebates. Can we please all agree that the process is more than inconvenient, my first card I bought from EGA was 11 years ago and had the exact same tedious process, that requires you to jump through hoops in order to get $20 back. You have to cut through your box, actually use mail to send it to the manufacturer, get approved, wait for weeks...I mean it's $20, can we use some modern technology and just apply online for all that??? Seriously, we advanced so much in so many areas in that decade , but we have the same terrible rebate process. But maybe that's what companies want, so everyone gets discouraged from getting that rebate back?

Overall Review: I know the above might sound like a rant, but I am sure everyone that is buying technology and has to apply for rebates is annoyed with the process.

Pros: Its Intel, fast, cheep (at the time Black Friday deal for $99) more space for the price

Cons: Random freezing problem, this same problem has been reported by a lot of people even on the intels sites, but unfortunately they are still not acknowledged the issue. Just search in your preferred browser and search engine - intel 330 random freezing, and you will see tons of reported issues. The system I am using it is x58 (and yes, I know is not supporting SATA 3, but this is not really related) on a DFI LP UT X58-T3eH8 Also the SSD is with the latest firmware 300i and the newest intel matrix driver is installed.

Overall Review: Intel, please release a new firmware that will address that freezing problem for so many people, I know that the actual controller is SandForce, but I am sure you have power over what they release.

Pros: So I saw this case a few weeks ago, a Black Friday deal at newegg.com, for the price of $30 and I immediately bought it, I was really curious to find what does $30 gets you these days for a case with a side window and modern day features. To be honest I am very pleasantly surprised, just a few years ago you had to pay at least $70-80 to get a side window, water cooling options or fans included, not to mention that I spent 10 times more on Corsair 800D back in 2010, yes that case was $300. I am so glad that you don't have to break the bank these days to get a good case, and this is definitely a good case, despite its little disadvantages and some cheaper materials used. Whats great about it, big side acrylic window, 2 fans provided (one is blue LED) PSU and HDD cover (one of those modern day features that everyone likes) , adjustable height on the rear fan, USB 3.0 ports, magnetic mesh filter for the top, SSD mounting points behind the motherboard, a lot of tie points for cable management in the back. Really, when you look at all those listed above, its hard to say that this case is not great, especially for the price of $30! The case seems very compact and at the same time can hose VGA cards up to 380 mm long and CPU Coolers with 161 mm height. Personally for me not having any HDD or CD drive rails inside is great it opens so much space to work with and maximizes the ventilation, which is appreciated considering how small this case is compared to some of my other older cases from other companies. I cant wait to build something in it and will show it to you in a separate video, but for now I definitely recommend this case, especially for the price. Now you need to consider that there are few shortcomings, that some people might consider as a deal breaker, like the limited airflow from the front, only one option for a fan on the top of the case, laughable filter on the bottom for the PSU (but that can be easily fixed with just flipping the PSU with the fan pointing into the case and sucking air from it), thin steal material and probably not the greatest space behind the motherboard tray. Still all in all, I think DIY did a great job bringing a lot of good features for a very reasonable price $30 on promotion and regular one is around $40.

Cons: Its really hard to point out negatives, considering the price, but if we have to really point out to anything maybe the lack of rubber grommets for cable management, the steel frame is a bit flimsy and lite and the front intake for air is not the best with only limited ventilation. The last one will be the flimsy filter on the bottom for the PSU, but not a great deal since you can flip the PSU upside down and still get the same result but not suck dust from the floor.

Overall Review: Great case for the price and very compact too for an ATX.

Pros: Finally I have one of the most attractive phones and high quality phones to be released in the last 7-8 months, the Honor 8! NewEgg.com are currently running a great promotion for the 64GB version of the Honor 8, they are selling it for $319 plus a lot of free gifts alongside, a couple of Huawei made cases, Samsung Level U BT headset and a box with extra charger, cable and a selfie stick. For me at that price, the Honor 8 is one of the best phones that money can buy at the moment. I loved the what Huawei did with the Honor line last year and coming up with the 8, absolutely stunning looks, coupled with great build quality and very good performance. Obviously at launch date, the price was too high, at $450 in my opinion there were better choices, but now at $319, I think its a killer deal. I rarely get impressed by build quality, especially after opening and working with a ton of other phones, but the 15 layer glass and the metal frame on the Honor 8 really made me smile when I opened the box, bravo Huawei! That is all for now, I will make a full review of the phone, right before we get the newly announced Honor 9, which is packing even more power with its new Kirin 960 processor. Below is the direct link to NewEgg and some of the specs. As the only negative, and really is not that big of a deal, I can mention the lack of support for CDMA networks, but if you are on GSM, you are good to go!

Cons: Not really a con, but worth mentioning No CDMA support, I wish they can add that for future models. At 5.2'' the screen is a bit small, but I am sure some people like that, easy to use in one hand.

Overall Review: Buy it, before its gone.

Pros: Well I have to say most of it is positive, really good router, with modern specs and future proof features, lets point out the positives I found for the moment and I will post an updated one with some clear numbers after my full test. I have no complain regarding the wireless coverage and speeds, nothing spectacular, but expected and good enough. Although this router has 4 external antennas, the coverage and speeds are the same as my old router (Netgear n6250) with DD-WRT on it. The web interface is very good and intuitive with simple and advanced options outlined, I know a lot of people complain about not having DLNA server option, but for my specific needs, that is irrelevant. The status LEDs are not very bright and can be turned off with a button. The two USB 3.0 ports are good and deliver an option to plug your internal HDD or SSD with all of your media and share it on your home network, if you dont want to spend a lot of money on a home server or a NAS, it can be a good option. With an external HDD attached even high bit-rate 1080p movies have no problem playing over the home network. Not much else to say at the moment, no drops or reboots are experienced. Updated to the latest firmware right after plunging it for a first time, which is quite old BTW, I wish TP-Link are more quick to release a new version.

Cons: The only think I noticed is the significantly slower speeds over LAN, I primarily use LAN for my in house office and my media room, the speed dropped almost twice from the old router to this new one, even with 20 years of experience behind my back, I still cant figure it out, what would cause that, no cables or other configuration was changed, just the router. I will have to play around a bit more and see if I can find out what is the issue, before I go to the extreme and return the router, really want to give it a chance.

Overall Review: Especially for the price I think is a good router with good features and great hardware.

Pros: Perfect fit for an SSD that I am now using in my HP Media Smart Server. Pretty good quality plastic and very easy installation.

Cons: None

Never delivered the order Gives you the run around with the hope you will forget Never issues the refund Horrible!
