Pros: -Inexpensive -Low-profile heatsinks ideal for cramped HTPC cases and Mini-ITX builds

Cons: none

Overall Review: Unless you are into graphics/video/3D editing then 8 gigs is *plenty* for a home PC build. These went into an HTPC, theyre nice and low-profile (compared to the HUGE Corsair heatsinks that can have clearance problems with some cases and heatsinks) and simply worked. Memtest came up with no errors. Not much more to say.

Pros: -Inexpensive -No frills: just what you need, no useless extras to add cost and complexity -Crisp, fast prints -Toner saver mode -Very small driver (~5mb), works with Win7 x64

Cons: -Comes with only the typical 'half' toner cartridge. -Newegg stopped selling Brother brand toner for it the day after I bought the printer. They used to sell 'off brand' Rosewill toner which gets horrible reviews, but now I cant even find that.

Overall Review: Very disappointed. I order all of my electronics from Newegg and before I purchased this product I triple-checked that Newegg sells factory Brother branded toner at an affordable price. Now I'm stuck with a printer with no toner unless I go to a local office supply store and pay 2x the price. I'm so sick of the printer/toner racket.

Pros: cheap. nothing else i can really say here, since if an item doesnt perform its intended function in a stable, reliable manner its absolutely useless.

Cons: more intermittent hanging due to Sandforce controller. Tens of thousands of people are affected by these issues yet Sandforce and the drive manufacturers (OCZ, Corsair, ADATA, etc) still havent addressed. several times a day my computer will hang. my mouse will move and i can tab between programs but everything is frozen for approximately 1 minute, after which everything goes back to normal. this is completely unacceptable on a workstation. I've now spent at least 30 hours in various forums and tech support chats, installing drivers, flashing firmware, and reinstalling Windows trying to resolve the issues with these SSDs to no avail. what a waste of time and frustration.

Overall Review: i replaced an OCZ Vertex 3 which was having the same issues with this ADATA drive, hoping that it would resolve them. Nope, same issues - and then I found out that its still using the same Sandforce controller. Absolute garbage - i will NEVER buy anything built on a Sandforce controller again. I'll shell out the extra $$$ and pick up a more expensive Intel drive.

Pros: -looks good. clean and professional without any pointless gaudy 'bling' -great cooling -comes with decent fans -decent quality (but see cons) -good amount of space: fits an ATX board with a huge CPU cooler, an EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 Classified, two optical drives, etc and leaves room for cable management - but not much wasted space. -all 120mm fans +140mm fan: 120mms are the best way to go for cooling - they move a lot of air efficiently and are much quieter due to the lower rotational speeds required. -intake fan grills/filters on the front are nice since your dust will just collect on the front of the case and you can wipe the dust bunny off with a sweep of your hand.

Cons: -power supply on the bottom is a huge con for me. be very careful when installing components not to drop screws as theyll fall right into your PSU through its upward-facing fan grill. not exactly -front bezel USB/headphone/mic jacks of the lowest quality ive ever seen on a case. this is no exaggeration: i have seen ultra-budget cases with higher quality front jacks. these are HORRIBLE quality. ive never seen a flimsier front panel. you CANT plug in a mic/headphone because theres something wrong with the jacks: the stereo jacks just pop right out with the slightest pressure. this makes them useless since the weight of the cord is enough to make them pop out. the USB jacks work, but wiggle like crazy and feel extremely flimsy. im trying to be as gentle as i can with them but im pretty sure that its just a matter of time before they fail.

Overall Review: a good ATX case that i would not hesitate to buy if it were on sale for <$50, but the horribly flimsy front panel is what brings it down. if you are going micro-ATX and looking for a budget case there are much better options such as the CoolerMaster Elite 343 or the budget Apex TX-381.

Pros: -motherboard worked

Cons: -company does not honor rebates -no PCIe x16 slot, although i knew this when purchasing.

Overall Review: The simple fact is that I would NOT have purchased this motherboard had it not been for the $20 rebate that was offered. I know the drill with rebates, and I am willing to accept the extra hassles. Last holiday season I mailed in over half a dozen Newegg rebates from OCZ, Gigabyte, Corsair, etc. I'm extremely meticulous about triplechecking that everything is in order, so there is no chance that something was filled out wrong or a date or UPC code was missed. The simple fact is that this rebate was mailed in in Nov, and its now Feb: I've received ALL of my rebates from other companies months ago and still nothing from Zotac. Zotac (or the company they contracted for the rebates) is dishonest and does not honor rebates. Again, I would not have purchased this motherboard if it were not for the $20 rebate.

Pros: -was inexpensive (on sale w/rebate)

Cons: -intermittent lockups/freezing under Windows 7 x64

Overall Review: extremely disappointed with both SSDs and OCZ right now. i did a lot of research on SSDs before i purchased this drive, and with the HDD price hike and holiday deals on SSDs i finally decided to take the plunge. i should note that i am a tech-savvy user and i have followed all of the SSD tips and OS tweaks and manufacturer recommendations. every few hours my desktop will lock up for 1-2 minutes. it happens on average 2-6 times per day. luckily i dont experience any data loss/corruption -- but this type of behavior is unacceptable on a work machine. luckily i have not suffered from any catastrophic failures (yet), but im already in the process of migrating my OS back off the drive so i can throw this buggy thing into an old laptop. performance-wise it does outperform a high-performance SATA HDD, but not by so much that it is worth dealing with all of the SSD quirks. its a real shame that its been years yet all of the nasty bugs with SSDs have not been ironed out yet.
