Most Favorable Review

Extremely Quiet, Barely audible

ZALMAN CNPS10X QUIET 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS10X QUIET 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Quiet--quieter than CNPS9700 NT Not too heavy LGA 1156 Bracket is excellent New thermal paste is great Keeps my i5 750 (@3.2Ghz) 28-33 C idle, 49-53 load (prime95)

Cons: Expensive Zalman sticker is the same Probably no good for extreme overclockers No LED color Blocks out the first RAM slot (Ripjaws)

Overall Review: This cooler is deadly silent. I can barely hear this over my 3 Antec Tricool fans on low speed (rated at 25db). It fits Antec P180 mid tower with flying colors. I hooked up with Fanmate 2 controller, but it's useless because even at full speed, this fan is so silent. Beware, on Gigabyte P55-UD3R board, the first RAM slot will be unusable with RAMs that have semi decent heatsinks, such as G.Skill Ripjaws.

Very relaxing

Pros: Works really well Cuts off reflection and harshness Can use monitor for prolonged time Lightweight yet sturdy frame

Cons: Expensive (even at half price) No lens cloth included Not good for anything else except with monitors

Overall Review: Has 1.25x zoom Absolutely works well. Reduces dizziness when using monitors. I'd recommend some cheaper models. I got this for half price.

Easiest OC ever for i5 750

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM

Pros: has XMP profile runs at 8-8-8-24 @ 1.65v if you enable XMP, i5 750 runs at 3.2Ghz (160x20) at all times looks cool

Cons: heatsink is not tall, but it won't fit in the first slot when used with Zalman CNPS10X Quiet (or Extreme) Fairly expensive now (I got it for $80.99)

Overall Review: I enabled XMP profile on Gigabyte P55-UD3R Bios settings, and i5 750 runs at 3.2Ghz. That's all the OC I need. It's very safe as well, as it's running basically at stock Turbo speed.

A workhorse

Kingston 4GB microSDHC Flash Card w/ USB Reader Model FCR-MRB+SDC4/4GB

Pros: microSD, SD (with adapter), and USB thumb drive capability tiny keychain-able

Cons: slower than big USB drives (something like OCZ Turbo which is very fast)

Overall Review: indispensable in phones, mp3 players, GPS, etc etc

Great repeater

ASUS WL-330gE Wireless Router IEEE802.11g/b/d, IEEE802.3/3u/IEEE802.1X, WPA/WMM/IPv4/IPv6
ASUS WL-330gE Wireless Router IEEE802.11g/b/d, IEEE802.3/3u/IEEE802.1X, WPA/WMM/IPv4/IPv6

Pros: Small, Compact Multipurpose Works really well as repeater Not too expensive at $36.99 + $1.99 shipping Excellent wifi signal

Cons: Not N

Overall Review: I setup this one to extend the range of my tomatoed Asus wl-520gU router. In Repeater mode, make sure to set this as "mixed mode" and not G-only. The range is quite good, my B/G HP laptop gets only 50% in upstairs, while the repeater gets 99% signal strength.

Refurb-icious!

GARMIN nüvi 765T 4.3" GPS Navigation with Lane Assist
GARMIN nüvi 765T 4.3" GPS Navigation with Lane Assist

Pros: Bought refurb for $199 Came with all accessories Works 100% Smooth graphic, lane assist, traffic alert, widescreen, BT The latest Garmin technology

Cons: no free map update (someone activated it too long ago) Map update price ($69.99 for one time, $119.99 for unlimited) from Garmin.

Overall Review: my first refurb deal in newegg turned out to be a blessing! YMMV
