Most Favorable Review

Good buy!

Rosewill RSL-123 33' Solar Decorative String Lights, 100pcs Multicolor LED, Green Cable
Rosewill RSL-123 33' Solar Decorative String Lights, 100pcs Multicolor LED, Green Cable

Pros: I have had these lights in all white for a month or so, when they last went on sale. They work perfectly. Very happy with them. I would buy some more if the all white lights go on sale again.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Still waiting for rebate. About 3 weeks since I sent it in.

Most Critical Review

Mine was a irratic lemon

ASUS P5NSLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5NSLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Inexpensive Dual SLI

Cons: This board would not run without locking up for more than 12 hours and would lock at least three times a day. It would lock when I wasn't even doing anything. Took me three weeks of substituting parts and hoping that it would finally keep running, to finally determine that it was the MB. Processor and MB both run very hot.

Overall Review: RMA'd this board and got an Asus P5LD2. A little more complicated setup and no Dual SLI but at least I know it will be running when I walk away and come back. Runs about 40C on processor. Also, good to OC. Got a 300 ghz dual core up to 3.60 and it may go higher. Another thought is: I wish people would not post reviews on parts they haven't even received yet. Don't hope it will work good. Wait and see. Even Asus makes some cr*p boards, which this one was for me.

Don't waste your money

SYBA SI-PEX40094 PCI Express Low Profile Ready SATA III 2 Internal 6 Gbps Ports PCI-e Controller Card

Pros: Price

Cons: The first time I installed this card, I could not get it to show up in devices. Could not even start the installer from the CD disk. After a new motherboard, I tried it again and it would still not install from the CD. But, Windows 7 did install it. When I started to format a SSD, the drive disappeared and was no longer seen in devices. Rebooted, tried to update the Windows installed driver from the driver on the CD disk and Windows 7 said I already had the most recent driver. Tried to format a SSD and the same thing happened as before: the drive just disappeared from the system.

Overall Review: Don't wast your money on this P*S. Maybe if you spend more money, you might get something that will actually work. This definitely did NOT work for me. There ought to be a law.

Buyer beware: There is No Customer Service

PNY CS1111 2.5" 240GB SATA-III (6Gb/s) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSD7CS1111-240-RB
PNY CS1111 2.5" 240GB SATA-III (6Gb/s) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSD7CS1111-240-RB

Pros: Worked good for 1.5 years

Cons: PNY has no service department. So, if you think you will need any help with anything, especially an RMA, look elsewhere of for a different SSD. My PNY SSD went dead on me. I went to the PNY website and filled in the form for an RMA. Three days later I got an email asking me to fill in a questionnaire about my customer experience. I filled it out and commented that I had not heard anything about the RMA. I got no response. After over a week of waiting, I called their "Tech support" line. You don't get to talk to anyone. Leave your name and number. I have now waited 3 days and no return call. Yesterday I sent an email to "tsupport@pny.com", because I saw that email listed here as an answer to another person. 28 hours later, I have received no response.

Overall Review: I will never buy another PNY product and, if you are considering something sold by PNY, you have been warned. If you have any problems at all, you WILL be ignored. Their 3 year warranty is useless, if they will not even communicate with you. Might as well be a 300 year warranty. Either one is worthless.

Only a 60 day warranty on a Forever lamp!

Foreverlamp A65 9W Omnidirectional A19 LED Light Bulb - Warm White

Pros: "Forever" lamp name sounds great.

Cons: NOT a FOREVER warranty. Not even 40,000 hours. What kind of false advertising is this where they can call this a "Forever Lamp" and then only give a 60 day warranty on it? That is only 1,440 hours. And then you have to return it to them and pay for shipping. If they really believed in their product, they would warranty for 4.5 years, at least, which would be the 40,000 hours.

Antec NeoECO C NeoECO 620C 620W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Antec NeoECO C NeoECO 620C 620W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Regarding my previous negative review of the Antec Customer service: I sent my review directly to "VIP@antec.com" and got almost immediate response. He said that when they tested my returned unit, they only tested the rails and they were okay. What they failed to test was whether a signal was being sent and received by the motherboard and PS. This was not working correctly. They are revising their testing procedure to cover this aspect. They are sending out a new PS to me with three day delivery and I don't have to pay for shipping. I am satisfied.

Cons: None for now.

Overall Review: I would say that my having a cheap Power Supply Tester was invaluable. I had even taken pictures of the lights on the tester either working or not working and I am thankful that I was able to show Antec that their unit was not working correctly, with images to prove it. I am not sure anything would have changed if I did not have these pictures.
