Most Favorable Review

Good for the price!

LOGISYS Computer SF140 140mm Case Fan
LOGISYS Computer SF140 140mm Case Fan

Pros: Well built. Includes a lot of accessories. Looks good Works fine. Ball bearing

Cons: A little loud for a 1300 rpm fan 40000 hours of estimated run time is low for a ball bearing fan, worried about long term operation.

Most Critical Review

Never again from newegg

Rosewill RNX-N150UBEv3, Wireless N150 Wi-Fi Adapter, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Up to 150 Mbps Wireless Data Rates, USB 2.0 Interface, 1 x 5 DBi Detachable High Gain Antennas, Win 10 Support
Rosewill RNX-N150UBEv3, Wireless N150 Wi-Fi Adapter, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Up to 150 Mbps Wireless Data Rates, USB 2.0 Interface, 1 x 5 DBi Detachable High Gain Antennas, Win 10 Support

Pros: Cheap, it was around $11 shipped.

Cons: Blocks adjacent USB slot, will not into all USB slots do to size. Disconnects every few minutes and needs to reset, makes playing online games impossible.

Overall Review: In order to retrun this item, even though defective, I need to pay return shipping and a restocking fee, thus I would get back around 45% of my purchase price. This is unacceptable to me. Been a long time new egg customer, but I mostly lucky and didn't need to return items before, I guess I will not have to return anything to newegg again.

Not good, even for $8 on sale

Arctic Cooling S111 USB Powered Portable Speaker-Gray
Arctic Cooling S111 USB Powered Portable Speaker-Gray

Pros: Small Cheap ($8 on sale) Reputable name They work

Cons: Not loud at all (compared to my other similarly priced USB speakers). Inferior sound dynamics compared to my other similarly priced USB speakers. No off button, so you get noticeable static when nothing is playing. Short cables

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product.

Great PSU, looks terrific!

NZXT HALE 90 HALE90-650-M 650 W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
NZXT HALE 90 HALE90-650-M 650 W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Just like the previous reviewer, I purchased this during a shell shocker deal. I did not need a new PSU at the time, but the price was too tempting. This replaced my Corsair VX550 watt PSU, which went to my brothers PC to replace his Sigma Shark, which than replaced my ancient coolmax PSU in my server PC. It look great, espacially in contrast to my all black NZXT Hades case. Its 80Gold, so its greener. 650W is plenty for a single GPU set up (phenom II 955 at 3.5, Geforce 460) Modular. Silent.

Cons: Did not properly fir in my NZXT Hades, as it is a bit longer than the standard size, had to fiddle with the case to get it in properly. The cabling and connectors aren't as nice as much cheaper Corsair, but are still good. PSU didn't come in a bubble wrap or any kind of a bag like my Corsair (just warped in plastic). NO CASE BADGE! I guess I leaving the "powered by corsair" on my PC

Overall Review: Time will tell.

Great DDR2 mem

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

Pros: Been using for about 1.5 years now. Instead of running them at 5-5-5-15 1066 with 2.0v, which makes them run hot, I run them at 840 4-4-4-12-16-2t at 1.8v. Fast and cool.

Cons: Price went up since I bought them? Heat spreader not very robust, but idk with 1.8v, its enough.

Basic, but works!

COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply
COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply

Pros: Its has been working for in my system for about 7 years now! Has gone from powering a single core AMD64 3200+ and a Nvidia 6600GT to a Athlon II X2 250 (3 GHZ) and a Geforce 250 GTS.

Cons: No PCI-e connector, had to use an adapter to power my GTS250, but works fine! Produces a descent amount of heat when under load, but I might be pushing it with my hardware. Probably not very efficient (80plus PSU this is not).

Overall Review: When I bought this y years ago to replace my freshly bruned out terrible PSU that came my X-blade case, I paid $50, its far less now. If you want a low power machine that will not be on 24/7, this will work, if you want a gaming machine get something with a PCI-e connector, if you gonna run a PC 24/7, get an 80Plus PSU.
