APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: Super price, plenty of power. I have 3 Plextor CD/DVD drives, 3 7200 RPM HD's, A GF4 5900XT (which pulls from both the AGP bus and has a direct connection to the PSU), 2 GB of memory, and a pile of other peripherals hanging off this thing and no problems. The temp controlled fans are pretty quiet compared to other PSU's I've owned. And, as always, super fast shipping and awesome service from NewEgg!

Cons: none

Overall Review: Hard to beat for the price.

Great price in a small package

ASUS USB-BT21 Mini Bluetooth Dongle
ASUS USB-BT21 Mini Bluetooth Dongle

Pros: Very small size, ASUS brand name, worked great with proper drivers, great price. Was able to connect to my mobile phone and my Motorola S9 headphones. If it worked properly with the MS 7 bluetooth stack or had drivers readily available I'd have given it 5 eggs.

Cons: Didn't come with Windows 7 (32-bit) and I was unable to easily find drivers. The drivers Windows 7 downloaded and installed did not work properly - neither did the Vista driver that came on the mini cd. They recognized my headphones as a hands free device but not as an AV device.

Overall Review: If you are running Windows 7, download the latest drivers from here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php. It will save you from tearing your hair out when your devices only partially connect.

Great scanner for the money

Pros: My 7 year old HP scanner finally died so I picked up this scanner a few weeks ago. No warmup time!!! It is blazing fast and the software has been rock solid so far. It was very easy to install and the software is excellent. Using the custom install, I was able to only install the stuff I need, instead of a 2GB of bloatware. It comes with PhotoShop Elements 5.0 which is fantastic for the simple to intermediate image work that we do. The save to PDF feature is also very nice. We've used this scanner more in one week than our old scanner a year.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Extremely fast. No problems with media thus far. Reasonably quiet. I've burned all sorts of media on this drive and no problems using it in other devices (including DVD+RW in my DVD player). As always with Plextor, great software, cables, etc. were included.

Cons: I sure hope this drive holds up. The DVD capabilities in my PX-712A just died after 14 months (2 mo. out of warranty). Plextor support said no returns, no repairs. Ticked me off. Despite my better judgement and other reviews (lots of RMA's), I gave Plextor one more try. If this unit fails, I'm jumping ship. Additionally, couldn't get this unit to work when my Plextor Premium CD writer was on the same IDE controller. XP blue screened after bootup. Works fine by itself or with a HD (either master or slave) on the same controller though.

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.7 ST3200822A 200GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Super quiet. Much quieter than my 40GB Barracuda's. Very fast. Unbeatable price. No installation problems. I may have to buy another one. :-)

Cons: Runs hot. Will likely need to add yet another fan..

Fantastic card!

GAINWARD GeForce FX 5900 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card FX Ultra/1200 XP GS
GAINWARD GeForce FX 5900 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card FX Ultra/1200 XP GS

Comments: This card is fantastic for the price. UT2004 maxed out at 1280x1024 is rock solid without OC'ing. Just got Doom 3 yesterday. It was a little jerky at the high video setting and 1024x768 (which looks fantasic, IMO), but after OC'ing the core to 480mhz and the memory clock to 833mhz the game ran smoothly. This card is rock solid even after running for several hours OC'ed. I'm running an Abit KR7A-RAID with twin RAID-0 7200rpm drives, AMD 2400+, 1 GB DDR Corsair, and a SB Live. Note: this mobo will only do 4X AGP so I suspect I'd get better results with an 8X capable mobo. As always - Thank you Newegg for great prices and fast shipping!
