Most Favorable Review

It does rock!

Polk Audio PSW Series PSW505 12" Powered Subwoofer Single
Polk Audio PSW Series PSW505 12" Powered Subwoofer Single

Pros: Saw the email promo and had to have. I am not disappointed. A nice adjustable Htz range to provide a robust sound and fill out your whole room sound.

Cons: none...it is a 12"...it takes up some space

Overall Review: When I was hooking it up, my GF told me she wanted me to show her the difference it made when it was turned on. I didn't have to, she felt it.

Most Critical Review

NOT for 3T Drives

D-Link DNS-343 Diskless System 4-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
D-Link DNS-343 Diskless System 4-Bay Network Storage Enclosure

Pros: Good looking box and good build quality. Simple setup and operation.

Cons: From previous review from drkxx, bought this to work with 4x WD30EFRX red drives...He must never have tried a RAID configuration as it will only recognize 3T drives if they operate in Standard mode (As separate disks). the initializtion of the format for RAID 5 will fail and you will be like me, holding a lot of expensive drives and no home to be found for them.

Overall Review: It seems manufacturers want you to buy their product and therefore don't disclose full limitations of their product. There is no documentation stating this limitation of the NAS. After working up through three tech support levels to the specialized tech support of DLink, I was informed of this failing and that they did document it, if you look at the fine print in the firmware documentation a couple version back... my mistake.

Made it 18 months

Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-DB 450W ATX V2.2    Power Supply
Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-DB 450W ATX V2.2 Power Supply

Pros: Nice cable management

Cons: Worked like a champ for about 18 months, then took a turn for the worse. I wish it would have just died, instead it started making a terribly high pitched whining noise and I am guessing its output voltage also must have fluctuated as it hosed my 240GB SSD I was using as my OS partition. So now I get to order a new power supply and reinstall Windows for my main home media center box...sweet.

Overall Review: Stuff goes bad, and it's too bad this one didn't last longer. More frustrating is that it damaged other components in the process.

What a hassle

i-Fly Heli 3.5 Channel Gyro IR Helicopter (Controlled by iPhone and Android Phones)
i-Fly Heli 3.5 Channel Gyro IR Helicopter (Controlled by iPhone and Android Phones)

Pros: Cheap price, excellent concept, integrating technology with toys.

Cons: Didn't get past the concept part as both heli's I ordered did not work. The return process was abysmal and shady. I ordered these in December and am still working to get my refund form the seller.

Overall Review: It is saddening that there are other resellers under Newegg, I prefer to deal with Newegg directly. My advice is to stay away from this one.

Not Bad for the price

GEAR HEAD KB3750W Black 94 Normal Keys 6 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Mini Keyboard and Mouse
GEAR HEAD KB3750W Black 94 Normal Keys 6 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Mini Keyboard and Mouse

Pros: This set had a good connection for me as long as the batteries were in decent shape. Battery life is pretty darn good, I can't remember the last time I changed the batteries on the keyboard out. This has worked well for me for the last 2-3 years.

Cons: Low battery light on keyboard never worked Part of the finish on the keyboard was never apparently applied as some of it was gloss black and other parts were matte with no rhyme or reason to it.

Overall Review: My daughter dropped the keyboard on our tile floor and the spacebar came off. That key has had problems since I snapped it back on, but all the keys are a little stiff. Take a look at what you are paying for this product and what do you expect to get out of it. For low to medium use per day, this thing works great. I wouldn't recommend using it if you are a novelist.

Works well when it stays on

Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID Box 4 Bay Raid 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0 & eSATA
Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID Box 4 Bay Raid 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0 & eSATA

Pros: Simple once installed and running. Good price. Built well Installed 4 3T WD Red drives and used USB 3 with a PCI card.

Cons: Setup instructions were very confusing. There were instructions printed on a sheet that came in the box and there were setup instructions on the cd that came with it. They were different instructions for the same thing. Neither was the correct instruction but more a combination and a little creativity to set this up as a RAID 5 box. Once I got it setup it worked fine, got all my data moved over to it and now it just randomly shuts off and drops the connection. Sometimes it is in the middle of watching a movie from it, sometimes it is just sitting there not being used and turns off. This is very annoying as it takes 2-3 minutes for the array to come back up and be useable again.

Overall Review: The price is decent and it takes 3t drives which I needed, but it is a major annoyance to have it dropping. I have tried to configure it to not let the computer turn anything off to conserve power and such but have not had any luck.

No response, no communication

As many other unfortunate buyers have found, the chances of getting a working item from this seller is quite random and getting any help is non-existent. I have submitted emails and RMA requests to no avail, to no response and am left holding toys that were Christmas presents for my daughters that don't work. Newegg, please discontinue this seller as their poor products and service reflect on you. Or alternatively, at least go to bat for you loyal customers by intervening or providing some conflict resolution options.
