Most Favorable Review

Works like a charm

RiDATA 8.5GB 2.4X DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Dual Layer Disc Model DRD+85-RDUSA-CB25
RiDATA 8.5GB 2.4X DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Dual Layer Disc Model DRD+85-RDUSA-CB25

Pros: Burns reliably at rated sped

Cons: 2.4X takes awhile to burn 8GB of data

Overall Review: Works great with my NEC 3520 using Nero 6 and CloneDVD. When Ritek comes out with faster DLs I will be first in line. Thanks for the fast and reliable service Newegg.

Most Critical Review

Not ready for prime time

BELKIN F5D8001 N1 Wireless Desktop Card IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft 32bit PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
BELKIN F5D8001 N1 Wireless Desktop Card IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft 32bit PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Easy installation

Cons: Locks up the PC after several minutes of use. I have to turn it off with the power button.

Overall Review: The tech support guy did not hesitate to offer a replacement. Obviously they know they have a mess on their hands.

Excellent product

Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model PVL316G213C1KR
Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model PVL316G213C1KR

Pros: Easy to install. Achieve rated speed simply by setting the XMP. Achieved a mild 10% overclock easily. Didn't try to push it so it may go higher. I would not hesitate to buy it again, especially from the Egg.

Cons: None

Best 16GB CF Deal

RiDATA Lightning Series 16GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model RDCF16G-233X-LIG
RiDATA Lightning Series 16GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model RDCF16G-233X-LIG

Pros: Fast read, high capacity,rugged

Cons: A little slow on right speed but for the price ....... Not a war stopper. I can still shoot continuous with minimal loss in fps.

Overall Review: Let me see, I buy one 16GB Lexar Professional UDMA 300x or four Ridata 233X cards and have change left over. Kind of a no brainer to me. I guess some photographers live in a world of miliseconds but I don't. My 2 Nikon D300s love these cards. As usual Newegg has the price and the service. I am buying two more.

Excellent Value

Transcend 8GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS8GCF133
Transcend 8GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model TS8GCF133

Pros: I have used this card in two D200's and two D70's. Works great even in some challenging environments.

Cons: If I ever find one I will write another review. Don't hold your breath.

Overall Review: Get a fast CF reader, it makes a world of difference downloading to your PC. My two D300's arrive this Friday. I expect the same level of performance as with the D200.

Quiet and efficient

ARCTIC COOLING AF8025 80mm Case Cooling Fan
ARCTIC COOLING AF8025 80mm Case Cooling Fan

Pros: Replaced two brand name case fans with three AF8025s, ended up taking #3 back out because it wasn't needed. The 8025s are quieter and move more air than the XXXX fans. For the first time I can hear the video card fan above the case fans.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Newegg comes through again.
