Nice Addition to New Build

Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases

Pros: I bought this fan to replace the stock 200mm fan in my new Antec 900 case for my new computer build. After a little modification, it fit like a charm and looks absolutely amazing in the case! The air flow is fantastic and super quiet!

Cons: None!

Be Leery Of This Board!

ASUS A8N-SLI 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

Comments: I bought this board and an AMD 64 1000+ chip and had many problems with it. After assembling the entire computer, it wouldn't POST at all. No beeps no nothing. So I called ASUS and unlike others that have reported poor tech support from ASUS, I actually had a pretty good experience with them. ASUS tech support told me that it was probably the revision on my AMD chip. It in fact was an E3 revision and I was told to send the BIOS chip back to ASUS and they would flash it and send it back (you have to send $5 for return postage). After I got it back, I plugged the BIOS chip in the MB and same problems, no POST. So I called ASUS Tech Support back and they had me check if it was a RAM problem. BTW this was a new build computer. I bought Corsair XMS RAM for this system....good stuff. But as we tested the XMS ram in each DIMM slot, it was determined that the RAM was in deed bad. I took my GEIL ram out of my own pc and tried it and it worked fine. So needless to say, I lost faith in both ASUS and Corsair in one day. I ordered my client the same GEIL RAM I have and it works fine now. I have been a long time supporter of ASUS motherboards. I have bought over 7 of these boards in the last 5 or 6 years. But I think it's time to look into another company. ASUS has really lost a big fan here.

Beast of A Power Supply!

CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: I bought this PS unit for a new PC build. I had never heard of a "fully modular" PS unit before and man am I glad I spent the money on this unit! I love the fact that you only have to use the cables you need for your build and nothing else. This is extremely helpful with wire management inside your case. The unit came wrapped in a really nice drawstring bag and sandwiched between packing foam along with all the cables that were in a really nicfe nylon bag with a velcro closure. Corsair spared no expenses with their packing! This PS unit is also extremely efficient....so much though to the point that the fan on the PS won't even turn on unless it really has to. I'm running 2 nVidia 560's in my case along with 6 fans and other various excessories that need a lot of power. This unit plows through the electricity needs with no hesitation! I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for stable power and no interruptions! Well worth the money!

Cons: None!!

Overall Review: I bought a Corsair 850 watt PS unit in 2008 for my last pc build and it has never given me any issues with cutting out or not having enough wattage to power my pc. Because of this, I went and bought this unit purely based on name and reputation by Corsair. Needless to say, I was not dissappointed!

Awesome 2 For 1 Deal!

Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)
Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)

Pros: I bought these fans to put in my new Antec 900 case that shipped with no fans on the side panel. The rest of the case had blue LED fans in them and these two Cooler Master fans did not dissappoint! The color matched the other fans perfectly! They are quiet and made of a durable clear plastic. They snapped right into place and were ready to go! Once again, New Egg came through with a great price and fast shipping. Thanks New Egg!

Cons: None!

Nice Webcam for The Money!

Logitech C920 USB 2.0 certified (USB 3.0 ready) HD Pro Webcam
Logitech C920 USB 2.0 certified (USB 3.0 ready) HD Pro Webcam

Pros: Extremely clear picture due to HD. Solid camera construction with Carl Zeiss lens technology makes this webcam a worthwhile purchase. I also have Carl Zeiss tech on my new Nokia Lumia 900 cell phone and the pictures the phone takes are unreal! The installation of this webcam was also super easy. Literally plug it in and you are prompted to install the Logitech drivers to get it up and running. You don't need to install the Logitech webcam software if you don't want it. I use Skype and after the initial install was finished, it detected Skype and launched it so I could test the camera. I also like the fact that there are some adjustments available like "focus on my face" while you are using the camera which allows you to move freely about the room while chatting and not lose focus on you as you move. In all, this was a great purchase for $79.00 and a $10.00 rebate. Once again New Egg came through with free shipping and fast delivery! Awesome as usual New Egg!

Cons: None so far!

Overall Review: I bought this so I could video chat with my mom. I did the research and settled on this webcam due to its HD quality and the price. I'd recommend this camera for someone looking for an above average webcam who is willing to spend a few more dollars then some of the low end webcams out there.

Great RAM at a Great Price!

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4

Pros: This is the second set of this typ of Corsair RAM that I have purchased in the last year and I can only say that this stuff is outstanding. I've never had any problems with it crashing my system or arriving DOA after ordering it. I highly recommend this memmory if you are builiding a gaming system. It works great for me. Specs listed below.

Cons: None! You get what you pay for.....excellence!!
