Most Favorable Review

Good for most anyone...

iMicro IM760 1.3 MP Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam
iMicro IM760 1.3 MP Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam

Pros: Decent video quality and color in most lighting conditions, motion is somewhat blurred for fast(ish) movment like walking, waving your hands....but quick enough to capture your mouth moving pretty accurately. Software has some fun effects and is ultra simple to use, but only useful for recording to a file as they don't translate to messenger clients. Quality is good, bought 2 of these and both work flawlessly.

Cons: The "clip" to attach to a monitor is not very secure, it doesn't clip on, more like rest on the top of a monitor so don't bump it....

Overall Review: For a relatively cheap web cam it's worth the price, but don't expect to be taking great quality stills with it, it's not anywhere near a true digital camera, not sure why anyone would use a webcam for pics anyway.

Most Critical Review

Almost great....

XFX MG-630i-7159 LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7150 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
XFX MG-630i-7159 LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7150 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Decent layout, HDMI works great

Cons: Terrible issues with the network adapter, first board would lock up downloading updates for windows XP...RMA'd it and got another (great Newegg service!) and now I can download but large(ish) files are still getting corrupted, I had to download ITunes on another computer and use a USB drive to move it over....XFX support sucks, took 7 days to respond to initial inquiry and they told me to reset the bios to default and test my memory....

Overall Review: If it wasn't for the network problem and the terrible support this would have been a much better review--XFX makes great video cards but not so sure about their MB's....

Great Case

APEVIA X-QPACK2-AL/500 Black/ Silver Aluminum Body/ Front Mask Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 500W Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK2-AL/500 Black/ Silver Aluminum Body/ Front Mask Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pros: Good size and great looks...rear fan is quiet....easy to work with given it's small size. Power supply should be more than enough for what you would put in it...you "can" replace it with a standard ATX PSU but it had better be modular cause there's not much room for unused cords....

Cons: Having issues with the LCD display after a shut down...the backlight comes on but the temps don't. If I unplug the molex connector (while on) and plug it back in the temps show up, and reboots are fine too, just when powered down they don't come back...got a replacement from their awesome service dept. but it does the same thing...they are testing another before they send it to me.

Overall Review: Their service dept. is AWESOME and quick to respond, send an email in the morning and they respond in the afternoon, twice bow so it wasn't just a fluke. This is my second Apevia case and I would happily recommend them to anyone.
