Most Favorable Review

Works Great

ASUS V3-P5G33 Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel G33 Barebone
ASUS V3-P5G33 Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel G33 Barebone

Pros: Solid build, had it up and running in an hour. Combined it with 4GB of King$ton value ram, an E6750, and a 8600gtx. Its eats up any game I throw at it.

Cons: No case fans, easily fixed with a 80mm front and back and temps remain healthy under load.

Overall Review: For the money, it is very good value. Newegg delivered a day early!

Most Critical Review

Hangs on weird static/snow screen evry time a game is launched

MSI Optix MAG341CQ 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K 100Hz DisplayPort HDMI DVI AMD FreeSync Anti-Flicker UltraWide Anti-Glare Backlit LED Curved Gaming Monitor
MSI Optix MAG341CQ 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K 100Hz DisplayPort HDMI DVI AMD FreeSync Anti-Flicker UltraWide Anti-Glare Backlit LED Curved Gaming Monitor

Cons: The unit I received was defective, the provided DP only displayed a washed out image with very little color, the provided HDMI cable displayed good color but the monitor would hang on a weird grey screen (static/snow) every time a game is launched. I had to turn off/on to get to the game. When working I was getting 80+fps using an MSI RX 5700XT.

Overall Review: I have requested a return/refund and will be looking at an alternative monitor.

ASUS Laptop Intel Core i5-430M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit A52JR-X1

Pros: Looks good, and feels very sturdy. Nice and quick, especially compared to my 4yr old latitude.

Cons: Web cam could be better, but its not a deal breaker.

Overall Review: I will grab a SSD when the prices drop some more.

Failed after a week

GIGABYTE GA-EX58-EXTREME LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-EXTREME LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: None -

Cons: Died after a week. Gigabyte support are useless. Do your self a favor and look elsewhere.

Overall Review: Wish I'd bought from newegg.

NO Crossfire Bridge Included!

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R467D3-512I
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R467D3-512I

Pros: Gigabyte - two strikes your out.

Cons: No Crossfire Bridge included!

Overall Review: What a cheap company to supply a card with a feature you cant use with purchasing an additional component.

A little better than stock

ASUS V-60 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler
ASUS V-60 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler

Pros: Its solid and easy to install, if you have a large case. Quiet.

Cons: e8400 stock cooler was 39C idle & 56 Load. ASUS V-60 is 38C idle and 50 Load. I tried the thermal pad, and then cleaned with arctic and used AR5. dropped 1C.

Overall Review: looking at other comments it would appear that some people are getting much better temps. Maybe I got a bad one? I will be buying something else next paycheck.

Avoid them

The short version of my interaction with Beach Audio. Ordered a Power Supply - received a Graphic Card. Requested an RMA..waited over 1 week for prepaid shipping label before I had to call and complain to Newegg - received a label from Beach Audio 4 days later. Returned and tracked package which was received by them two weeks ago.. I am still waiting for a refund.. Read other's reviews and avoid these muppets, I started shopping with Newegg in 2005 and have always been impressed with their value and service.. Beach Audio should not be a marketplace partner.....
