Most Favorable Review

Works great with Wireless Dell Keybaord/Mouse!

IOGEAR GCS1104 4-Port USB DVI KVMP Switch with Audio and Cables
IOGEAR GCS1104 4-Port USB DVI KVMP Switch with Audio and Cables

Pros: This unit works great with my USB Wireless Keyboard and Mouse I got from Dell. I just have the receiver in the USB accessory slot and nothing in my keyboard/mouse ports. Still leaves the front open for a USB thumb drive.

Cons: Cables are very back heavy and if near the edge of a desk (like mine) it tips backwards...nothing some tape won't fix though.

Overall Review: Will buy another IOGear product again for sure.

Most Critical Review

Good while it lasted, but horrible support in the end!

Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller
Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller

Pros: When it worked it worked just as well as my wireless MS Xbox 360 controller, but that's it...

Cons: I thought the extra button on each side would be nice, but I found myself hitting them by accident a lot and never got any good use out of them. After less than average use my left analog stick started to have issues when I'd go forward. Too far forward would throw me backwards or just jerk me to a stop (and the Calibrate showed the same issue). I contacted Razer support (which I had been hearing back things about over the last few months) and gave them everything they asked for on the contract form (which included the date of purchase), but when they e-mailed me back (within 24 hours was the only plus to this story) they told me I needed to contact the reseller since I didn't buy it directly from them and if the "reseller" didn't help me to provide them a whole list of stuff...look at the date I told you I bought it and do NOT ask me to contact Newegg.com (reseller) since it's past the 30 days! I will NEVER buy anything from this company and will advise everyone I know the same.

Overall Review: I wish I could give this 0 (zero) eggs and I'm VERY sure all the other 1 egg people do as well. Please keep in mind that none of this has been Newegg.com fault...in fact I'm gonna go buy a Microsoft 360 controller to use or find a wireless adapter to use one of mine I already know.

So far so good

1ST PC CORP. ACDC-100USHR Universal Laptop & LCD Monitor Charger for Home or Office
1ST PC CORP. ACDC-100USHR Universal Laptop & LCD Monitor Charger for Home or Office

Pros: This is perfect for my at-home repair bench for when I have a laptop without a charger or I think it's a bad charger. I've been looking for one like this for a long time as my buddy had one (lasted 3+ years before it finally died) just like this and it was great to borrow. Worked perfectly in an HP I just fixed last week. Pro: Tips feel like they will stay on and not just "fall off" Dial isn't easy to turn so no worries about it changing on it's own.

Cons: None yet

Mine wouldn't support more than 2x hard drives

COUGAR CMX 700 COUGAR-700CMX 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Yes, flexible cable management Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Feels nice and heavy, which is usually a good sign. Their support is quick and knowledgeable. I most likely just had a lemon, but I'll never know...worth 3 eggs for what seems like good build parts and great support, but please read my reasons for returning below and decide for yourself!

Cons: Would NOT power my unRAID build I had setup. It would power the hard drives all just fine if I used my CoolMax PSU Tester to turn on the unit, but otherwise connected to the mobo I could only get 2 hard drives before it wouldn't boot right. I had bought this over a Thermaltake mostly because of the rebate and a sale they had, so when I found this unit could not provide the power (guessing as just defective) I returned it to Newegg for a refund and later bought a Corsair which has been great.

Overall Review: This may be a good brand, but my first and last taste of their products didn't leave me happy. I'd be willing to try another unit someday, but for now Corsair has stolen my heart (2x 650W like below and a HX1050 now) unRAID build: Case: LIAN LI PC-Q08B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case Power Supply: Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W 80 PLUS Power Supply Hard Drives: 4x 750Gb Seagate 7200.11 and a 500Gb Seagate 7200.11 (what I had laying around) Motherboard: ZOTAC H55ITX-A-E LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Mini ITX Intel Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i3-540 Clarkdale 3.06GHz LGA 1156 73W Processor BX80616I3540 Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM USB Key (for unRAID): Patriot Xporter XT Boost 8GB Flash Drive Model PEF8GUSB

Great for use with a Netbook

ASUS USB 2.0 8X Slim external DVD burner Model SDRW-08D2S-U/D-BK
ASUS USB 2.0 8X Slim external DVD burner Model SDRW-08D2S-U/D-BK

Pros: Small and compact plus gets the power from the USB port. Read all burned media I throw at it and has been detected for booting just fine by several Netbook devices.

Cons: None so far, but I haven't used it but maybe 4-5 hours total since I got it.

Overall Review: I had a Rebate with mine and I got my Pre-paid card just as promised! I don't really care for the upright stand, but it works (just a personal thing).

Good simple keyboard

Logitech K120 Wired Keyboard for Windows, Plug and Play, Full-Size, Spill-Resistant, Curved Space Bar, Compatible with PC, Laptop - Black
Logitech K120 Wired Keyboard for Windows, Plug and Play, Full-Size, Spill-Resistant, Curved Space Bar, Compatible with PC, Laptop - Black

Pros: Nice thin profile. Tactile feedback, but still quite enough to use late at night. Nothing fancy here, but if you just need a GOOD keyboard for work this one will not disappoint.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I got this to use with my Belkin SOHO KVM on my Computer Repair bench and it's worked great so far.
