Great board!

Pros: Super stable (See ATI driver note) Features galore (Onboard DVI!) Great price (A real steal especially at Newegg)
Cons: Random reboots in XP were driving me nuts & took me awhile to narrow down to ATI video drivers. Dropping back to Catalyst 7.3 8.351 has been rock solid. Too scared to try 7.9 9/10 upd. lol
Overall Review: I've always been an Intel man but I loved this board so much I've built 3 systems with it, X2 chips & 2GB DDR2 with only the ATI driver fiasco to complain about.
Meh - Decent overall but no "insert name brand here"

Pros: Super cheap during daily deal sale. Lenses seem to have no noticeable distortion. Lightweight. Polarized. Pretty stylish but not too flashy.
Cons: Feel cheap for glasses that retail for 100 bucks. No spring hinges. Thin delicate feeling frames. Plastic lenses. Perhaps a touch larger & squarer lenses than I would have preferred
Overall Review: I usually buy sunglasses at local stores in 15-20 range because I seem to have bad luck keeping them safe so I've been wanting to buy a nicer quality pair to baby. For 1/4 the regular 100 price I had to try them out but very glad I didn't pay full or even normal day to day price or I'd be very disappointed. I don't want to proclaim they are not original Timberland without having owned previously but these don't seem any better than sub 20 ones available at local drug or B&M stores. Btw often plastic lenses bother my eyes especially cheap glasses from stores. These do not so that's a definite PLUS. Not sure how durable they will be with each side of frame attached separately vs actual frame around lenses. Time will tell.
Love these little cases!

Pros: Very compact Nice quality overall (See cons) Cool design/looks Near silent (really CPU fan makes more noise than case fans sometimes)
Cons: Not best PSU (Not 80+ & seem to fail ~ 18 months) Case fan get noisy or fail in 12-24 months Should have SSD holes (so no need to drill own or use 3.5 adapter) Wish quality replacement PSU's were more readily available (-1 egg for these otherwise it'd be 5 easy)
Overall Review: These are great little cases overall aside from minor nit picks. I've used like 20 of them so far & never had quality issues aside from PSU's & fans as noted in CONS. I wish they offered it with a 80+ certified PSU not necessarily just to save some energy (how much is really being saved at 200W max) but more so in hopes of better QUALITY. PSU's are a common failure point in all computers but these seem to fail more than the Antec EarthWatts Platinum I buy regularly. Then again this case with PSU is cheaper than just one of those PSU's lol btw speaking of SSD, wish I could post a pic of the mods I've done but since i rarely use ODD I either drill holes in top of SSD bay or I've found if you lay SSD in just the right spot you can get 3 screws in without needing holes. Not ideal but secure enough for SSD
Great deal on a great drive but data on them

Pros: Cheap SAMSUNG. All had decent usage according to SMART (3 months to 18 months). Recognized right away on Asrock motherboards. They were just going in basic computer so no need to benchmark but they felt quite fast but then again they're SSD so yeah
Cons: Non Samsung "original" firmware so Magician software sees the drive but refuses to work. Appears to be Dell firmware based on research. Seems only hackish methods to put Samsung firmware on so I left them. WTH 4 out of 6 of them had DATA ON THEM! I get they are refurbished but come on newegg, samsung, whoever refurb'd them. Trying to avoid excessive writing? Too bad Magician doesn't work eh?
Overall Review: Despite the cons I just wiped the drives with data on them & lived with the fact Magician doesn't work because they were CHEAP SAMSUNG SSD's. I almost felt guilty they were so cheap. Now let's see how long they last.
Great high quality power saving choice

Pros: SUPER POWER SAVER! I compared power usage using kill-a-watt with an older common name 60% efficient 500W & this 450W antec with exact same hardware. (ASRock H67M-ITX, i5 2500, 2x4G & 1 2TB Seagate Green) Old PSU @ Idle=48W, 100%=123W. This Antec @ Idle=29W, 100% 89W. Tell me that won't save some electricity! Plus my UPS run-time will be extended. Almost silent. I was suprised how quiet it is even with fan going. Cables are nicely wrapped in braided mesh. Painted with nice matt black paint. Came with handy velcro cable ties.
Cons: Not modular but I knew that. Would love to have been able to remove cables not needed in my LIAN LI PC-Q08 mini ITX case. It fits by tucking all the extra's where possible but would have been much cleaner install if I could have just unplugged the extras. A bit on expensive side w/o sale/discount but this is no cheaply made PSU for sure. (And if you compare with other 80 PLUS PLATINUM supplies this wasn't really bad especially if you consider power savings in long run. Bet it'd pay for itself in a year for a computer left on 24x7) Cable are quite long but many would see that as a pro. Just in my case they are easily 2x as long as they need to be.
Overall Review: Very high quality you can see & feel. It is quite heavy but that is good in a PSU. I've always loved Antec for the quality & the same is true here, just wish they were cheaper. (newegg sale helped ease the pain) I'm sure many would see all the cables as a plus but in my case it was WAY overkill. If not modular I wish they offered a model with less & shorter cables. (Was tempted to cut off the extras & shrink wrap the ends. Still might. lol)
GREAT UPS, POOR PACKING

Pros: These are AWESOME UPS battery backups! Possibly the best I've used. Great tower design to line them up in row (they are definitely bigger than I expected though reasonable for 2 battery design like this), great looks, almost silent, awesome LCD display with seemingly endless info, silence button, control software, etc. I plugged a 3Ghz P4 & let it run on battery for 10 minutes & still showed full battery bars and 98 minutes left! My cheaper UPS gives about 7 minutes.. (Screen showed 52 watts at idle & 90-105W during bootup). I'll likely buy 2 more of if/when they go on sale again & to see if they get damaged like these did or if newegg & cyberpower step up & prevent it from happening. (See below)
Cons: Packaging & shipping on these sucks.. I bought 2 & Newegg went cheap & shipped each in the factory boxes vs putting inside a box packed well with peanuts. At 1st I thought it was no big deal since both boxes were in perfect condition. To my delight it was DOUBLE boxed from the factory. (Although no padding/buffer added, just a box inside a box to 'double-up' cardboard essentially). Inside boxes were in perfect condition too. Opened them up & was excited until I heard the rattle.. Big hole in bottom of the 1st one! "HTH could that happen when boxes were not damaged?!?" Answer: CyberPower packed with the power cord end under the UPS & at some point the UPS was dropped or handled heavily enough that the connector broke the bottom. Opened the 2nd box & $*#! SAME THING! Broken bottom due to power cord connector being under the UPS. GRR. 2 out of 2 damaged inside undamaged boxes. 1 egg off for for combined cyberpower/newegg packaging not for unit itself!
Overall Review: Newegg offered to file a damage claim & exchange them but hard to blame UPS when the boxes were not damaged. Clearly they were not packaged correctly by CyberPower and not sufficiently by Newegg and UPS did their job bring them to me. Plus after close inspection the damage appears purely cosmetic & on bottoms of units out of view so seems like total waste of time & resources to exchange them. I tested them & they work & I can live with the cosmetic flaws so I declined to get them exchanged. I was a bit bummed newegg rep didn't offer up small credit for the damage since I saved them the cost of round trip on 2 of these (I'd happily send pics/vid to show) but I wasn't going to ask for it and appear I was trying to scam. NEWEGG: PLEASE BOX THESE & SURROUND WITH PEANUTS!! CYBERPOWER: PLEASE ENSURE POWER CORD IS NOT UNDER THE UPS!! NEWEGG & CYBERPOWER: You must realize by now there is an issue that needs to be addressed based on # of damaged units & comments posted.
