Comments: (... considering how easily "5"s are given out here.) I'm a system builder who's installed hundreds of PSUs (& replaced many more :-) I tend to use Antec & other quality PSUs in our high-end systems. I never heard of Rosewill until coming to Newegg. I just bought a mid-priced Xion case for a gaming machine for my GF's 15y/o kid that came w a pice of c@%p 450W PSU, so bad to be unuseable (not even current connectors). Since I already shelled out 2G in parts for this thing, I couldn't spend another 100+ for an Antec. Based on the 1st review, I took a chance on this, hoping it might be acceptable at least temporarily. I was impressed even before installing it, & more so after. This psu is as good or better than ANY 2-4X it's cost!!! Very well made, extremely accurate voltages, great features, & silent. (The only lack is cable management, & for a gamer - LED fan) I was going to order Antec Neo 480 for my partner, but got him this instead. Ordering several more tonight to replace some of our in-house PSUs. AMD Athalon 64 3200 Asus A8N-E Corsair 2GB dual channel MSI Radeon X800 (great cu heatpipe cooling) Seagate SATA2 3gb 160G
Luck of the draw ????

Pros: I purchased several top-line 20-24" LCDs (locally so could return) to try the past few weeks, incl the 204B. The 226BW (S-panel) blew them all away. Night & day difference from all others I tried - nice sharp, clear BLACK text, good colors. I'm a 50y/o w bad eyes doing mostly web, email & business apps. Text stays legible even while fast-scrolling or dragging the window around desktop. All the others "shimmered". 5 stars for the S panel running here for a week - nothing else came close. (No drivers/software installed for any - Radeon 9600 256mb GDDR, XP-pro 32, AMD 1900+) I wanted the 244tBW for higher res & features, but no retailers had one to try - I was afraid it might not have as good image as the 226BW - S, so decided not to chance it. (BTW: they all looked somewhat better on DVI than VGA) The stand is good quality, but no height adjustment.
Cons: I ordered a 226BW here Sat - arrived today. A-panel from NJ warehouse. This unit is about as good as some of the others I tried, but night & day to the "S" running side by side comparison - also swapped DVI between them to confirm not problem DVI v VGA - same results. Not quite as crisp/sharp image - blurry spots. Most text shades of blue, not jet black, completely different coloring even on desktop background. I'm not a gamer or graphics guy, so didn't try those. Neither has dead pixels, bleeding/backlight problems, banding etc that I can tell. 4 stars compared to others I tried, but only 1 star compared to "S" panel. I have a riser for mine, but it sits too low if you have it on your desk. You can get a really good stand for it at S__les for under thirty bucks so not an issue.
Overall Review: Ran a google search on the A vs S contoversy - there's tons of threads out there about it, but none that I read had done a side by side comparison. From what I see in front of me, these two monitors look the same out of the box, but in use are two completely different products being marketed indiscriminately as the same model by Samsung. One is "superb", the other "average". If I wanted to order by "lottery" (luck of the draw), I'd buy a PowerBall ticket. Samsung's monitors sell for a premium. I find what they are doing with this model inexcuseable & will be calling customer service about this problem tomorrow. Hopefully, they will take it back & confront Samsung about it.
Overall impressed

Pros: Very impressive features & screen size for the price. Fairly easy to operate & navigate menus. Received unit appears brand new - no blems or scratches. Advanced lane guidance is great, but haven't had a chance to use it a really difficult interstate merge yet. Traffic is automatic but is only so-so accurate so far. Does come w free updates. Picks up satellites very quickly & much more accurately than the Garmin I had years ago. Has a few automatic setting changes that my TomTom lacked (day/night, volume). Windshield mount works very well, but I wish the neck was longer (all brands seem to be this length). Navigation calculations seem very fast and accurate
Cons: No current-time clock in any mode. Individual entries can't be deleted, only entire categories (recent, saved etc). Very limited preference settings available. (deducted 1 egg for those omissions) Audible street name (mis)pronumciations are almost worthless. Map update took forever to download
Overall Review: Overall, vastly improved performance and feature set from my (much) older Pioneer & TomTom GPS's. The lack of features & preference settings previously mentioned is surprising from a unit this advanced. My other GPS's are much older technology, so brand comparison is not possible
Very Pleased!

Pros: Even though a warning notice that printers would not recognize this toner (no chip) my HP 1606dn immediately recognized this alternative brand as a "genuine HP replacement", so it must have the chip & hopefully the printer's utility app will be able to monitor the toner level. The print quality appears to be as good as the HP orignal toner.
Cons: The enclosed instruction sheet was obviously written by someone whose native language was not english - makes me question if the cartridge is actually made by Polaroid or just rebranded. (But does work fine!)
Overall Review: I got this toner with a promo code that made it half the price of the HP - wish I had ordered a few of them :)
works great

Pros: small (flush fit with socket) cheap price seams to be reasonably well built
Cons: none
Overall Review: Have been using this unit continuously for many items including GPS, cell phone, headset, etc. for about a month now. Ordering a 2nd one today ...
Great Deal!

Pros: Fast, nearly silent, cheap - Runs large apps & all data on my Win 7 machine. From a practical day-to-day, can't tell much difference in I/O speed between this drive and it's OS/apps Vertex II ssd C: drive.
Cons: none really
Overall Review: This drive came packaged much better than newegg used to ship, but the drives I've received since were actually properly packaged with real drive carriers in fitted box firmly packed in outer shipping box. Reports of DOAs here should drop drastically! If you don't know what OEM means, then don't buy them & don't rate your tech level 5. Buy the retail boxed versions if you need screws & cables! Same if you can't grasp that ALL drive manufacturers rate 1000MB=1GB instead of the conventional 1024MB=1GB that Windows uses. If you want a better, more reliable drive with 5-year warranty, you can get the Seagate ES or WD black series drives for twice the price. Be sure to switch your "storage type" from IDE to AHCI in BIOS, or you won't get all the speed/features available from SATA HDDs (if your drives aren't RAIDed)
Satisfied
