Great Portable Air Conditioner!

SOLEUS AIR LX-100HP 4-in-1 10,000 BTU Capacity Portable Air Conditioner/Heater/Dehumidifier/Fan with Remote Control
SOLEUS AIR LX-100HP 4-in-1 10,000 BTU Capacity Portable Air Conditioner/Heater/Dehumidifier/Fan with Remote Control

Pros: Emits very cold air in air conditioning mode! Features A/C, Heat, Dehumidifier, and Fan modes. Utilizes Heat Pump technology for the heater. Dual Hose design. Compressor and fans are quieter than other portable a/c's i've tried out. Remote features a little LCD screen to indicate status. Newegg has the best price! Also, the front vent can open and close automatically. Nice!

Cons: -Exhaust fan can be a bit loud, I would recommend insulating the exhaust hose with some foam, which will reduce the sound greatly. I tried this, and now it is no louder than a window air conditioner. -Heavy (challenging to bring up a flight of stairs)

Most Critical Review

Got it fast from Newegg, but has a broken fan

XFX GX260NADFF GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Excellent performance at a great price! Comes with a free game (Far Cry 2)

Cons: Arrived with a broken fan. The fan rattles and makes scraping noises, even when the system is idle. In games, it is even louder. My previous XFX card was excellent. Kind of disappointed. I guess I have to RMA it now...

Awesome!

Pros: -Awesome video card! Opened up the box and discovered that this is the 55nm version with no backplate on the back of the video card. It was a little bit difficult fitting this in my Antec Nine Hundred Two case, but I moved a few cables around, and it fit. XFX's warranty is great as well, lifetime warranty and the ability to transfer it to another user if you sell it. I was able to overclock it to the 'Black' edition speeds of 666MHz Core /1053MHz Memory (it runs stable and fast!). Games run very smoothly on my 24" 1920x1080 monitor. Far Cry 2 was also included. This is the best GTX 260 Core 216 offering out there!

Cons: -This is the second XFX GTX 260 Core 216 card i've had, the first one I got from NewEgg had a defective fan, but NewEgg was great in helping me RMA the defective card.

Great Memory!

HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K2/2GR

Pros: Great Memory! Runs at the advertised speed and timings, which is 1066MHz @ 5-5-5-15. I'm running them Orthos stable at 1.975v at the moment, which is nice.

Cons: Will detect as 800MHz when you first boot up, but it can be easily bumped up to 1066MHz+.

Excellent Power Supply

Pros: This power supply is great! The modular cabling really cleans up my case. It can run my system with a GeForce 8800GTS just fine. The Green LED fan looks awesome and the voltage rails are stable. Quad +12v rails!!

Cons: -Fan is somewhat loud during CPU and GPU intensive applications

Awesome Video Card!

Pros: Wow..This video card is amazingly fast in all of the games I play. Coming from an 7800GT, this card offers a very noticeable improvement. I got clocks of 620MHz GPU and 860MHz x2 for the memory; very overclockable.

Cons: None
