Great value............NAME BRAND....

Viewsonic DiamaniDuo NX2232w 22" 5ms LCD W/fully integrated HDTV/NTSC/QAM TV Tuner 300 nits (typ) 2400:1 DCR
Viewsonic DiamaniDuo NX2232w 22" 5ms LCD W/fully integrated HDTV/NTSC/QAM TV Tuner 300 nits (typ) 2400:1 DCR

Pros: You can't beat the price and the picture on this HDTV. I looked and looked and shopped for a good HDTV with an ATSC OTA tuner for my home office. This UNIT is ideal. It's light enough to sit on top of my old Panasonic DVD-S27 DVD player. Playback on Component Video is subperb. For the price of a 19 inch Sharp at Costco, I got a really great picture at an inexpensive price. The channel changing is much faster than my 26 inch Sharp Aquos LCD. I haven't tried the QAM tuner or the moinitor function, but I am sold on the ATSC OTA tuner.

Cons: No paper manual; It's on the CD ROM.

Nice Unit....BAD soudboard....GREAT Newegg Service

ASUS P3-PH4C Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945G Barebone
ASUS P3-PH4C Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945G Barebone

Pros: Nice well designed case and system. Would have kept it, but soundboard was dead.

Cons: Soundboard was dead on arrival. Windows Vista Home Premium shows no conflicts in device manager and identifies speakers being plugged in. Still, NO SOUND! Software switches turned on and everything appeared working. But, still NO SOUND! BIOS had to be upgraded to work with Allendale CPU. Glad, sustem even ran with cpu error amd allowed the BIOS to be flashed.

Overall Review: Newegg RMA Customer Service was great on RMA authorization.

Works great with eeePC 1000HA

Pros: Orrdered it as a spare for the Rosewill. Got it for less than $17 delivered with FREE shipping. Everything works, including use with a cheap USB 1-4 hub.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Newegg has a one year return policy on this item. The manufacturer warranties this item for 5 years - much longer than any electronic item in my current recollection, except for cables. At this price and FREE delivery by 3 day UPS, I ordered another one.

Rosewill RNX-56USB - Modem - Conexant Hardware-Based 56Kbps USB (Plug & Play) V.92 Data / Fax / TAM – Windows 7 Ready

Pros: Got it for under $20 delivered from Newegg. No drops and no problems so far with my eeePC 1000HA. Works basically same as any built-in modem on any laptop. There appears to be no difference in speed and function from this modem and the built in ones on the many brand name laptops that I've owned and used. Great as a backup for the eeePC 1000HA.

Cons: None significant.

Overall Review: As someone stated, the label on the lights are reversed.......IMPORTANT only to the compulsive excessive nit picker.

Really Nice and Compact Well Made Unit

ASUS P2-P5945G Blue Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945G Barebone
ASUS P2-P5945G Blue Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945G Barebone

Pros: This unit is one of the smallest and most compact units that accept full bracketed (not hard to find low bracketed) PCI cards, although not large ones. Very well made and compact. Included CPU fan is high quality with COPPER heat sink.

Cons: BIOS was outdated for Allendale E2180. BIOS needed to be falshed to Ver 604. Included software does not work with Vista. SanDisk 2 GB SD card crashes system. System freezes with this card and will not boot with card in reader. Other brands of cards work. Will not HOT SWAP Maxtor Mini 4 external hard drive; system freezes; only works if connected before bootup. Cover is a little difficult to replace. Spring on optical drive door too strong; needs help to fully open. Front USB ports and card slots poorly marked; flashlight needed.

Overall Review: I am very satisfied with this unit and would buy it again. Great utility unit for the internet and would be a good unit for an office PC. Small form factor takes little space and does everything that would be needed. Unit is quiet and would be easy to service and relocate.

Good RAM!

Pros: RUNS GREAT! Works like a champ in the three different motherboards that I've tried it in.........

Cons: None so far.....
