Most Favorable Review

Patriot LX Series Class 10 4GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model PSF4GMCSDHC10

Pros: Fast, true class 10 card. 200MBytes in 15 seconds. Writing speed: 13.2 MByte/s Reading speed: 16.1 MByte/s Nice packaging and 5 year warranty.

Cons: Wish NewEgg had more in stock.

Most Critical Review

Acceptable unit

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch

Pros: Cords are wrapped in nylon sheaths. Easy to connect or disconnect cables. Quiet operation.

Cons: Cord connections are on other cords instead of plugged into housing.

Overall Review: Have 2 units, and 1 of them is having fan issues, where it will begin to rattle and it creates a grinding noise. I have to make contact with the fan blades to make the noise stop, but shortly after they begin to rattle and make noise again. Would RMA but it's a hassle and costly. Other unit is fine and super quiet.

Uder Garbage

G.Skill 32GB microSDHC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter (FF-TSDG32GA-C10)
G.Skill 32GB microSDHC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter (FF-TSDG32GA-C10)

Pros: ZERO

Cons: FAILED AFTER 10 MINUTES!

Overall Review: Copied all my info from my old SD card to my computer. Then started to copy that to this new one. It failed to copy everything, removed card, put it back in, nothing. Put it in my phone, nothing. Put it back in my PC and went to Computer Management, and it doesn't even show up as a drive, not even detected. Never had one fail so quickly. Going to attempt to return for a full refund, but will probably have to pay shipping or something where I'll be out money.

Good Case

XION XON-560 mATX/ ITX Meshed Mini Tower Case, USB 3.0, Black/Blue LED
XION XON-560 mATX/ ITX Meshed Mini Tower Case, USB 3.0, Black/Blue LED

Pros: Sleek look with gloss black finish. Plenty of air holes for ventilation. Thumb screws for case sides. 3 SSD HD mount locations. Nice power and HD activity lights built into buttons. Top mounted USB 2 and 3 ports plus headphone, mic ports.

Cons: Very thin metal, flexes under slight pressure. Expansion card fins and supports bent when removing spacer plate. Mainbord rear ports plate would not mount properly because the board screw supports were off just 1/8 of an inch. Causing force to be applied to MB to get it into place, and putting to much pressure on rear port plate that it bent out of the rectangular holder. Sideways HDD mounting with snap in plastic tracks. Included SATA 3 cables do not "snap-click" into place. Front LED case fan died in less then 2 weeks (the one that blows on the HDD area)

Overall Review: Had to buy 90° SATA Cable and power cords to connect the HDDs. Best priced case I could find with USB3 port on front panel. Overall a real good case, nice clean look. Shame about the front fan, but the rear fan more then makes up for air flow.

Where is it?

NVIDIA $150 value in-game coin coupon
NVIDIA $150 value in-game coin coupon

Pros: It was free

Cons: Couldn't find mine. Is it IN the card box, or just tossed into the shipping box. Either way I could not find it anywhere. Went threw the card box twice, no dice.

Overall Review: From the reviews it sounds like it expires pretty quickly anyway so a loss all around.

Nice

HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G
HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G

Pros: Small, fast, cool, quiet.

Cons: Expected SATA cable being a retail box. Newegg updated description after I bought it.

Overall Review: I get ~250MBs Read and 183 MBs Write. 4k is 29MBs Read and 60MBs Write. I'm using SATA2, not 3. Rebate took 6 weeks to get, and now you can get it cheaper than what it was with the rebate, $60, I paid $90.
