Most Favorable Review

Great WI-FI card at a great price

Rosewill RNX-AC1300PCE WiFi Adapter / Wireless Adapter / PCI-E Network Card , 802.11AC Dual Band AC1300 PCI Express Network Adapter, 2.4 GHz 400 Mbps + 5 GHz 867 Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket
Rosewill RNX-AC1300PCE WiFi Adapter / Wireless Adapter / PCI-E Network Card , 802.11AC Dual Band AC1300 PCI Express Network Adapter, 2.4 GHz 400 Mbps + 5 GHz 867 Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket

Pros: Popped this card in, it found my 5G router and I was surfing ! Not only does it work wonderfully but it's also a nice looking card, the large heatsink provides cooling for it, the low profile bracket is included, nice touch! The utility and drivers are a snap to install to get you up and running in a hurry!

Cons: The only con is that I should have bought two more for my other two computers!

Most Critical Review

I've used better

Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate
Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate

Pros: It works with Windows 7 and has all the bells and whistles with a nice look...

Cons: Nice looks don't keep it running, it constantly crash's right in the middle of a project... my version 10 worked soooooooooooooo much better but won't work on 7 so weigh it out... stick with XP and a good version or go with 7 and hope it don't crash.

Overall Review: I probably should have went with the basic setup of studio instead of the ultimate... I don't need all these bells & whistles for typical editing... *shrugs* whatta gonna do.

Finally an SSD to fit a normal bay

Pros: I was really glad to finally see an SSD HD come onto the market that you could mount in a "normal" bay. So far it seems to be plugg'n along just fine, I trust it so much that I have my Windows backup on it. I like the fact that it does not create any heat and ...of course, no vibration or noise. Thank you for finally bringing this to the desktop without having to buy an adapter to mount it!

Cons: Ummmmmmm, none that I have found so far and dun expect to either!

Overall Review: Got it at a great price and glad I did, thanks Newegg!

Low Buck MOBO

Pros: not expensive

Cons: Didn't fit the IO backplate (I had to modify it). I don't like the layout of it, not enough ports for SATA.

Great drive

Western Digital Blue WD1600AAJB 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Blue WD1600AAJB 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Got this drive and put it in my satellite DVR and after copying the old disc to it, the drive booted right up and is working perfectly, very quiet running and quick FF and REW for shows, drive runs cool. I usually replace my DVR drive about every two years to prevent programming trouble and have not had WD fail me yet, then use the old drive in a backup computer with no problems to date.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I run a 120 MM fan in my DVR mounted in the top of the case and seems to really make a difference in the performance ... keeps everything nice and cool .... much, much better than that wimpy little 70 MM fan they put in from the factory.
