Most Favorable Review

MSI, my new best friend.

MSI P55M-GD45 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI P55M-GD45 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: USB ports... and lots of them . Easy install with Window 7. MSI put a power button on the motherboard! Overall a very nice stable motherboard. My first MSI product and I am very pleased. newegg super fast shipping and processing of my order!

Cons: My only nitpick is the IDE slot. I saved $30 by re-using my IDE DVD-R, but I wish the IDE and floppy slots were reversed. You will need a long IDE cable to stretch across your video card to the IDE slot at the bottom of the motherboard. Not enough to take away and egg because I should have gotten a SATA DVD a long time ago!

Overall Review: If your like me and do not read manuals... when you first turn on the power you will be greeted by three beeps. This is the first desktop motherboard I have seen where the DIMM1 is the second slot. No biggie...RTDM (newegg made me take out the F). Make sure you install your SATA cables BEFORE your video card or maybe before you put the motherboard in the case. Not a big fan of the side mounted SATA ports... but it does help cable management. At least in my case... I could not get my finders in between the hard drive and the video card to plug in the SATA cable.

Most Critical Review

I regret this purchase

SABRENT EC-BIDE Black IDE USB 2.0 CD/DVD-RW Slim Notebook Drive Enclosure
SABRENT EC-BIDE Black IDE USB 2.0 CD/DVD-RW Slim Notebook Drive Enclosure

Pros: Nice rubberized finish.

Cons: Does not work. Cannot get Windows to recognize this thing. Enclosure blocks drive tray and it is practically impossible to get tray open.

Decent headsets

Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-3000 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-3000 USB Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: Easy to setup, comfortable, decent sound. So far pretty durable.

Cons: None really other than maybe price as compared to similar headsets.

Overall Review: I bought these to use at work. In the IT business and my neighbors can't keep the noise down. Good at drowing out exterior noise and listening to music. I use this with my IP phone and audio and mic works great. My work has since bought us some very expensive Plantronics headsets and the Microsoft ones are every bit as good.

Good performing SDHC

ADATA 32GB Class 4 Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model ASDH32GCL4-R
ADATA 32GB Class 4 Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model ASDH32GCL4-R

Pros: Decent performance for capacity and price.

Cons: Newegg shipping. I would dock all eggs but that is not fair to ADATA. This deal with Newegg becoming like the river in Brazil is not good when it comes to shipping times. Took forever to get these delivered.

Decent device

Rosewill RHUB-300 - 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter
Rosewill RHUB-300 - 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter

Pros: Works flawless.

Cons: None really except maybe I should have gotten a USB 3.0 device for future use.

Overall Review: This thing works as advertised. I have two usb powered HD's connected, headset/microphone deal which I use with IP phone, and a couple of USB sticks. A must have since my laptop even with the docking bay is USB port deficient.

Nice card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity     (100315L )
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity (100315L )

Pros: Exhausts heat out the back (last card did not do that). Easy to install, crisp clean colors (do photo work). Handles all my games with ease. Have a smaller monitor, but running everything 8X AA. Newest game I own is Rage and it was smooth as butter.

Cons: Not really a con.. my system total watt usage went from 89 to 113 at idle after upgrading from a 4870... so this was expected. Still compared to similarly powered cards, power consumption is good.

Thought I clicked on Newegg only

So brand Direct has one other recent rating saying someone ordered a part and they lied about shipping it. Well make that 2. I did not realize I was ordering from a non-Newegg seller so be careful. Not sure how Newegg could allow a seller like this on their site. My item was supposed to have been delivered today but tracking says a label was generated and that was it. Now starting the refund process because based on the other review I don't think I will get my RAM from this seller.
