Fantastic Card!!!!

EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N981-TR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N981-TR

Pros: For a card costing $129.99 (After rebate) this card really rocks!!!! I was a bit concerned about it fitting in my Lian Li mid-tower case, but I had lots of room left even after I had the 6-pin connector plugged in. Someone said they had trouble getting this plug in, but it only goes in 1 way. Not that hard at all. This card is so quiet that I don't even know it's running. Now that I have all the settings set everything I run is operating much better.

Cons: Not really a con, but I wish the video card makers would put a little more information in their instruction manual about how to go about adjusting all the settings these cards have.

Overall Review: I did install the latest drivers from EVGA before I installed this card. I was having a little trouble with the AA setting as I could not get rid of the jagged edges in one of the simulators that I run. But a call to EVGA Tech support quickly solved the problem. They had my roll back the drivers and install an older one and that allowed me to set the AA which eliminated all of the jagged edge problems. EVGA tech support and NEW EGG rocks!!!!!

GARMIN 3.5" GPS Navigation
GARMIN 3.5" GPS Navigation

Pros: First of, the biggest pro is the price!!! It is well worth the money! 2nd; It is very easy to use and set up. I downloaded the instruction manual after I ordered it and I had it up and running in no time at all. It has several great features besides showing you a detailed map of your exact location. It will display your speed as well as the speed limit of the route you are traveling. The display is great and very easy to read while driving. It shows the difference in main roads vs. secondary roads. It will show blue when you are close to a river or lake. It even shows RR tracks with the name of the RR. This a big plus for me as I am a train nut. Buying it from New Egg is also one of it's pros. You can't go wrong with New Egg. Their Customer Service is the best and make you feel like they actually value your business. I love spending money at New Egg!!!! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

Cons: I haven't really taken any trips yet with this unit. But I have driven locally around the city of South Bend. The voice telling you where to go can be a little anoying at times. I don't even remember how I turned her on (???!!!), but now she is quiet! I must have P O'd her and she shut up on me!

Overall Review: I have another Garmin GPS that is a hand-held unit that I use on my Zodiac. Since I have no electrical system I have to depend on this kind of unit. It has never let me down and is very easy on batteries. I didn't even consider another brand since I'm so happy with Garmin. When you get this unit, or any other unit with a LCD that has a thin plastic film protecting the screen, don't panic when you peel off the plastic and think the LCD is going bad. Just clean the screen with a warm breath and a soft cloth like a T-shirt. I thought it was going bad and called New Egg and they were eager to replace it for me. I felt real stupid when I called them back and told them of my stupid mistake!!!! But they were very understanding and were just glad that I was happy with the unit, and happy with New Egg. As they say "Once you know, you New Egg!"

Logitech V320 Black 3 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse
Logitech V320 Black 3 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse

Pros: This is the best mouse I've ever had!!!! Just went out an bought another one for my laptop! I love the size and the fact that the receiver fits right in the base of the mouse when traveling. I sure don't miss fighting the cords of the old mice!!

Cons: None at all! Just wish I hadn't waited so long to go cordless! (Actually the only con is how hard it is to get it out of the package!) But it's not really that bad!!!

Overall Review: I've always been a fan of Microsoft mice. But small cord-less optical mouse they have is a little small for my hand and the receiver sticks out further than this one does. This one works great right out of the package. Just plug in the receiver, load in the AAA batteries, and go! That's all!!!!

Antec earthwatts EA380 380W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Antec earthwatts EA380 380W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Two things I'm picky about when I build a computer. The case and the power supply. I've used Antec before and they've never failed me yet. They are reasonably priced and run super quiet. This one even had a rebate.

Cons: Not really a con, but I wish I had gone with a 500W unit as I'm limited as to what video card I can up-grade to. But I knew what this was when I bought it. And it's big enough for me and what I have in my new system.

Overall Review: I always buy from New Egg as they have the best service and the best prices!!!!

Rosewill RCR-103 USB 2.0 Card Reader
Rosewill RCR-103 USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: What can I say except it works great! Easy to mount and hook up. Looks great in place of the floppy drive. Great price too!!

Cons: None whatsoever :-)

Overall Review: I needed something to take the place of the old floppy drive and I also wanted to get rid of the small, portable SD card reader i was using on the end of a USB extension cord. Nice little orange pilot lite on whenever the power is on.

Old fart with a computer!

SAMSUNG T190 Rose-Black 19" 2ms  Touch of Color series Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1
SAMSUNG T190 Rose-Black 19" 2ms Touch of Color series Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1

Pros: This is a beautiful monitor!!!! It is much better than the Samsung 192N than it replaced. Much faster response and the color is just fantastic. Easy hook up and excellant craftsmanship. This is the third Samsung LCD I've owned and they have all worked great.

Cons: None whatsoever!!!!

Overall Review: At first I was a little unsure about the widescreen. But just as soon as I turned it on I was sold on it. I always like to keep my equipment covered to keep off the dust when it's not in use and wasn't quite sure that mycover would fit the wide screen. But fits like a glove.
