Most Favorable Review

Makes a great system for the money.

ASUS P7H55-M PRO LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P7H55-M PRO LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: High performance for the average user. Lots of features for the price. Don't plan on building some super gaming machine with it. This board can do any average task with ease.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

! Month past 3 year warranty

ViewSonic VP2770-LED Black 27" 2K SuperClear IPS Monitor, 1000:1, 300cd/m2, USB&HDMI&VGA&DVI-D Display Port, VESA mountable
ViewSonic VP2770-LED Black 27" 2K SuperClear IPS Monitor, 1000:1, 300cd/m2, USB&HDMI&VGA&DVI-D Display Port, VESA mountable

Pros: It was a beautiful monitor while it worked. Just under 800 bucks 3 years, 1 month ago. I can see why it came down in price.

Cons: Big, beautiful and broken.

Overall Review: I wanted "the best" I could buy at the time. I could have gotten something more reasonable at the time. My 5 years old Samsung is still going. Hmm....

More reliable than water cooling

Noctua NH-U12S TR4-SP3, Premium-grade CPU Cooler for AMD sTRX4/TR4/SP3 (120mm, Brown)
Noctua NH-U12S TR4-SP3, Premium-grade CPU Cooler for AMD sTRX4/TR4/SP3 (120mm, Brown)

Pros: Less complicated too. Seems to handle the heat well. I run applications that use a lot of CPU power and this cooler handles it in stride. Simple to install.

Cons: Big and heavy. It has to be though to work well.

Overall Review: I'd buy it again in a minute. Can't say how it might handle the 12 or 16 core CPU, but it works fine with my 8 core unit.

What a deal!

Dell Precision T1600 Workstation - Intel Xeon 3.1GHz Quad Core Processor E3-1225 (up to 3.4GHz), 8GB DDR3, 120GB SSD + 500GB HDD, DVD, Intel HD Graphics P3000, Windows 10 Professional, Keyboard/Mouse

Pros: Xeon processor for cheap. Plenty of RAM. SSD main drive makes it quick. Windows 10 Pro. It makes a great entertainment center machine.

Cons: None really. It's reconditioned unit so there are some small scrapes.

Overall Review: For the cost, it's a great machine. Could have used a better brand SSD but then it wouldn't be this reasonably priced. Be nice if the mouse and keyboard were optional to save a bit more $$$. The seller was very responsive with communication. It felt good that they responded quickly in a time where most don't ever respond much less actually solve any problems. I'd buy from them again without hesitation!

Slowest way to buy a TV

Samsung 43" 720p Plasma HDTV - PN43F4500AFXZA
Samsung 43" 720p Plasma HDTV - PN43F4500AFXZA

Pros: It's a nice TV.

Cons: Slowest way to buy a TV. It took 13 days to get it. Price dropped $50 in that period of time on Newegg.

Overall Review: This is not the first TV I've purchased from Newegg. The first arrived in a very timely fashion. It took 13 days from the time I ordered it to arrive at my door. The Iron Egg deal got me a $50 gift card to cover the price reduction.

These guys are the Best!

Machine arrived packed well enough to support a UPS truck. The appearance was very good. Machine fired right up 4 times before the SDD drive quit. I emailed the seller and they responded in a very timely manner. A short discussion and they sent another drive right away at no charge. I'm sure they would have walked me through the replacement, but I've worked on computers long enough to do it myself. Things happen sometimes. The seller was polite, responsive and gave me no problem making things good. I'd buy again from this seller without question. These guys are the best! Thanks NewEgg for allowing them to sell on NewEgg. NewEgg is the best too!
