Most Favorable Review

Decent deal

LG W2353V-PF Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1 w/ Smart Package
LG W2353V-PF Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1 w/ Smart Package

Pros: Beautiful picture. smart light adjust brightness darn near perfectly for my eyes.

Cons: Initially recieved a jacked model. Watching video or scrolling too fast caused a "Money for nothing" effect (blue neon glow around outer edges).

Overall Review: 7 years ago, I was in Asia and LG was top dawg there. I was dumbfounded why LG wasn't as widspreaed here in the states. I am profoundly happy that LG spreading the wealth of great technology at an affordable price. Even their washers and dryers can't be beat for the money!

Most Critical Review

eh so-so

Rosewill RC-SIX-01 SL Hair-line brushed Silver Steel Slim Mini-ITX Computer Case with 150W Power Supply and 1x 40mm Fan
Rosewill RC-SIX-01 SL Hair-line brushed Silver Steel Slim Mini-ITX Computer Case with 150W Power Supply and 1x 40mm Fan

Pros: Beautiful to look at, functional. Very sleek.

Cons: All 5 that I purchased had the 12v rail at 12.7 - 12.83v Intel D510 shot up to 70+C in all 5 PCs (not enough room for airflow even with wires tucked out of obstruction). No other place to put another fan. I had to crank the fan speed to 80% to get the temps down to 35-37c and man is it loud.

Overall Review: Brushed Silver means it has a cloth-like sticker on it giving it the "look" of brushed metal (scratched kind of easy). Just for craps and giggles, I intially tried to stick my old 150GB Raptor in it....WRONG...hit 74c almost immediately! Pairing it with a SSD should help keep temps down. Luckily these were only going to be internet machines and a quickbooks machine. I am somewhat satisfied with them @ the 35 dollar shell shocker deal. They may fair well for other boards, but the Intel D510 has a big heatsink and no fan. ftr, somewhat satisfied mean I wont be buying them again as I prefer COMPLETE satisfaction.

Ouch

ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: When it works, its a decent board.

Cons: purchased 3 of these boards, 1 had bad BIOS, 2 had broken cmos button on back AND corrupt bios right out of the box. Sent them back, recieved another 2 with broken CMOS buttons on the back.

Overall Review: Just a heads up: I also purchased the Asus Rampage Gene IV (socket 2011) with bent CPU pins, broken CMOS button ( protection plate for CPU pins not seated correctly and pressing down on pins). Also, when I RMA a defective product, Newegg makes me call to ASK for a return shipping label (should automatically get one if item is defective).

I hap no lice!

TATUNG TRC-6UDW White 5.5 Cup Electronic Rice Cooker
TATUNG TRC-6UDW White 5.5 Cup Electronic Rice Cooker

Pros: None

Cons: Worked for 1 week, died.

Overall Review: I bought a Tatung 12 cup rice cooker about 15 years ago and it worked flawlessly for that time. Now, my mother is from Thailand so, for me, good rice is a main staple. To my dismay, their quality control must be subpar compared to 15 years ago (or I just got lucky). This one lasted 7 days and even when it worked, the rice on the bottom was crunchy. Read all the negative reviews before you buy (even on the differant models). I am a sat panna wiss no lice. I neet to buy new wann so I hap some lice. Maybe ness time I buy amelican.

i-rocks IR-7610L-PK Pink 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Diamond Mouse
i-rocks IR-7610L-PK Pink 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Diamond Mouse

Pros: Pink for the wife

Cons: First pulled it out of the plastic and noticed it "rattled". Plugged it in and buttons 4 and 5 (usually page forward and back) aren't configurable...the forward most button is set for page back and the back button is for forward. It's just plain JANKIE! I'm a small asian guy and could easily crush this with 3 fingers (no i'm not a ninja).

Overall Review: Nothing on manufacturers website for a driver to configure this, Win Vista and Win 7 can't configure it properly (not windows fault). For 20 bucks I expect higher quality. AVOID THIS PRODUCT. This is only my second negative review in 5 years (third one is comming up with the matching keyboard with "choclate" style keys by same company).

Amazingly LESS than Mediocre

i-rocks KR-6401-PK Pink 103 Normal Keys USB Wired Chocolate Key Style Slim Keyboard
i-rocks KR-6401-PK Pink 103 Normal Keys USB Wired Chocolate Key Style Slim Keyboard

Pros: Pink. Wife likes Pink.

Cons: Just an all around poor design. I know it says SLIM, but i've used many slim style keys before and none were this awkward. Keys seem way too close for real keyboardists. The white characters on a pink keyboard make it difficult for hunt and peck users to see (brown or black would have been ideal colors for this). There are no stands for these either. They lay ALMOST completely flat on a desk. My typing speeds went form 95-100 wpm to 30-33.

Overall Review: Had these keyboards been around 12-15 (because they are pink)with free shipping, it may have warrented a 3 egg rating, but due to the 20 cost, I gave it 2 eggs.
