Great Wireless Dual-Band Router

Pros: Easy setup. Fast and reliable connection. Internal antennae. Sleek and modern look.

Cons: Terrible device manager software compared to DLink products. Limited options to choose from, and no real useful monitoring page to see what devices are connected to the router and and what speeds or signal strength.

Most Critical Review

Really, Microsoft?

Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Upgrade

Pros: Slick interface. Great for touchscreen. Looks great and installs quickly. Live tiles are great.

Cons: It's a new graphical overlay specifically designed to run on tablets, touchscreen all-in-ones, and phones. It's just not a true successor to Windows 7. It's awkward to navigate.

Overall Review: I got this for free when I purchased a router on Newegg. I installed it on my main PC and gave it a fair, open-minded trial before I re-installed Windows 7. I won't use it now and unless some big changes are made I won't use it in the future.

Just buy it...

Pros: Rugged. Solid. Easy to put on phone. Protects. It's thick and makes the slick iPhone easier to handle.

Cons: Vibrate button is difficult to access.

Pros: I love this game. It's fun, period. Especially, at less than $16.

Cons: none

ASUS Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH5850 DirectCU TOP/2DIS/1GD5
ASUS Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH5850 DirectCU TOP/2DIS/1GD5

Pros: Great performance -vs- price ratio. I bought three and run them in tri-crossfire. Power plugs are at the end of the card and not along the top of the card so that cables can be run straight through motherboard tray cut outs. $30 rebate from Asus. I received all my rebates.

Cons: Only one DVI port.

Overall Review: When will video card manufacturers make cards without heatsinks for those of us that watercool? It reduces cost, and since most of us void warranties anyway, why not sell them without one?

Pros: Fast and reliable. Timings run at 6-8-6-20 1T @ 1600 @ 1.6v

Cons: Requires some work and tweaking in the bios to get it to operate at 2000. I opted for tight timings instead.
