Pros: I was told to either buy or build a computer for work and had a $500 budget. I wanted the SATA version of this cd-rom but it was sold out, so, I used the IDE version. No real issues with it.

Cons: I gave it 4 eggs because the tray seems a little slower than most cd-rom drives I've seen.

Overall Review: I sorted the ROMs by price and chose one of the lowest priced ones. Newegg's website features really helps one make a good decision.

Pros: Graphics, tutorials good.

Cons: One con is they seem to have this paranoia about the game being installed on more than one machine, to that end, they require that one of three CDs be inserted. They claim this only has to be done once in a while but everytime I've played it, it asked for the CD. If you want to have a fast game of chess, it isn't possible, I have to hunt for the CD and go through their bells and whistles to get to the chess board. I find it quite irritating but I also remember the days of Sargon, and Chessmaster when it was much more simpler.

Overall Review: Honestly, a simple Chessmaster game, like it was years ago or Sargon works for me. Since they insist on inserting a CD to play, they should take the bloat out of it and keep it all on one CD, no install.

Pros: Good card for a budget system. Works well in Windows XP. The card was packaged well and each connector on the back had a protective cover.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I'm thinking of using two of them in a CrossFire setup.

Pros: Great processor for a budget system.

Cons: I dislike having to apply a lot of pressure to get the stock fan on.

Overall Review: CPU temp under normal load is 36c, ambient temp 89f. The cpu appeared to be packaged normally but the surface had some discoloration, like water spots. I cleaned the surface with cpu cleaner bought from Newegg before but the spots did not come off. It appears to work normally, so, I'll let it be. Dropped one egg for that.

Pros: good price, stable.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I'm a big fan of G.Skill, not only is the Ram stable but the SPD usually has performance profiles that many MB's can use automatically, ie the user does not need to enter timings and voltages manually.

Pros: N/A - Fan was broken.

Cons: Fan broken and the end of the box, the open close flaps, were all torn off except for part of one. It gave me the impression that the card had been used previously but I do not know that for sure.

Overall Review: 99% of the electronics in my house are from Newegg. This is the first RMA I've done with Newegg. It was easy and painless. I installed the card and drivers. The card worked fine but not the fan. I checked the fan plug on the board and everything seem to be connected properly. I guess what irritates me is on the back of the card is a small Q/A sticker with someone's initials, certifying the card 100% working. Did the fan break on the way from his inspection station to packaging? I doubt it. Maybe s/he was not doing his/her job. Anyway, my rule is to try one time by mail order and if it does not work, I buy locally. Usually, exactly what I want is not available locally, but close.
