msi 7300gt

MSI NX7300GT-TD256EH GeForce 7300GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
MSI NX7300GT-TD256EH GeForce 7300GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Amazing results for a $xx card. I was getting 115+ fps in cs:s. Very low profile and well designed card. Definitely a great card for someone with a low budget. I was running an amd 64 3400+ with a gig of ddr.

Cons: no fan? just heatsink. It stays relatively cool under load.

Most Critical Review

DOA

Manufacturer Recertified Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GBGT/RF2
Manufacturer Recertified Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GBGT/RF2

Pros: None....since the drive was DOA

Cons: -DOA -Feels Cheap

Overall Review: I still can't comprehend how a drive that has been refurbished/recertified can come out the factory and be dead. Even more so since it's refurbished, meaning it was broken and sent back to Corsair for them to fix. I ALWAYS have good luck when purchasing refurbished drives from newegg. Not this time though!

Great drive, great price!

Hitachi GST Travelstar Z5K500 0J11283 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Hard Drive
Hitachi GST Travelstar Z5K500 0J11283 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: *Thin Model *Amazingly cheap *Reliable *Abnormally fast for a 5400RPM mechanical drive

Cons: None so far!

Overall Review: I've purchased 5 or so of these drives so far and could not be happier. I haven't had a single issue with any one of the drives I've purchased. At $34.99, you can't beat it!

Awesome....again

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GXM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GXM

Pros: -Blazing fast -Cheap -Good Timings -Look awesome -Legendary G.Skill Reliability

Cons: Wasn't free!

Overall Review: I bought this kit to upgrade from another G.Skill 16GB kit, but that one was a 1066mhz 4GBx4 kit. I intend on upgrading to 32GB in the near future so I needed the other 2 DIMM slots. The kit that got replaced worked just fine for over a year. These 2 sticks booted at 1333mhz, then booted right up at the spec'd 1866mhz with no issues after making some adjustments. They look awesome and perform flawlessly, as usual with g.skill!!

Great drive at an even better price

HGST 0J11563 750GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive
HGST 0J11563 750GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive

Pros: -Price -PLENTY of storage -Reads/Writes relatively fast for a 5400rpm mechanical drive -Out of 10-15 drives I've purchased, NONE were DOA!

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I've purchased around 10-15 of these drives over the past couple of months and all of them functioned perfectly, and still are to this day. I have a small laptop refurbishing business on ebaay and have been using these drives religiously. Newegg sold out of these quickly last time they were up for sale. I'm glad to see them back up on here. You cannot find a better deal ANYWHERE for a manufacturer recertified SATA 2 750GB HD, period!

1st drive arrive with BAD sectors!!

Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G
Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G

Pros: -Price -Sata 3 -Sandforce Controller -Somewhat high read/write speeds -2nd drive hasn't died...YET

Cons: -1st drive had multiple bad sectors and would hang 75-80% of the time while running Windows -Read and Write speeds are 100-150MB/s lower than advertised. Even on a new MSI military class board with sata III and updated firmware on the SSD itself.

Overall Review: Newegg's RMA process was absolutely awesome, as usual. It just sucks having to RMA anything in the first place! For $65.99, this drive is a bargain. However, after reading most of this drive's reviews, you've basically got a 50/50 shot of getting a good or junk drive. If you have good luck gambling at a casino, then this drive is for you!
