Good For The Price

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS 220-GS-0550-V1 80+ GOLD 550W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS 220-GS-0550-V1 80+ GOLD 550W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: It delivers a good enough punch for my setup which includes a GTX 960 5 HDD 1 SSD and a water cooling pump and peripherals.

Cons: With ATX boards still out there the need for cable lengths are still a concern for a lot of people that come to copmanies like this for "enthusiast" parts. The CPU power cable is 50mm shorter than your standard cable and even with the unit turned upside down will not reach and I am forced to buy an extension and wait to complete my build properly.

Overall Review: One SATA cable has 4 plugs and the other has only 2. With a full HDD load you may need to purchase a molex adapter to reach an optical drive or hidden SSD. Saving 5 cents to manufacture these cables greatly reduces the overall quality of this unit in hidden costs and delayed build for the consumer.

Cheap All The Way Around

Tripp Lite P311-006 6 ft. Mini-Stereo Audio Extension Cable Male to Female
Tripp Lite P311-006 6 ft. Mini-Stereo Audio Extension Cable Male to Female

Pros: It is inexpensive. If you leave it as a permanent extension and do not expect to unplug it often this is an okay product.

Cons: The female end almost reels as if it is tearing my headphone plug up every time I use it. You can hear the metal scraping and then you have to jam it in pretty hard to get that final snap to lock it in.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I knew it was low priced and didn't expect much. I ended up just throwing it away.

Nice Little Card

Creative Sound Blaster Z PCIe 116dB SNR Gaming Sound Card with 600 ohm Headphone Amp and Beamforming Microphone
Creative Sound Blaster Z PCIe 116dB SNR Gaming Sound Card with 600 ohm Headphone Amp and Beamforming Microphone

Pros: A Lot of features and a great sound for the price.Superior to on board sound in every way. I don't have to turn my volume up as much to hear even more sounds in games,

Cons: That red LED inside is rather annoying and bright. There should be a software option to disable it. You can take the shield off and either wrap it with electrical tape or dull it a bit with a black sharpie. The instructions are weak. My surround sound speakers actually plugged into different holes to correctly work than what is posted.

Overall Review: It is a small card and even right next to a GPU should not be a concern to hinder cooling. A lot of people don't realize this card will not only work in a PCIe X1 slot but also in the x4 & x8 so there are more mounting options.

My 2nd Time Around

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It is a stable board that has plenty of features. You can pay a lot more for less.

Cons: This board is just too thin. If you have a large air cooler and a couple of full size GPU's there is quite a bit of stress that can cause warping. It is just a little bit more narrow than my old Gigabyte board so it only uses 6 hold down screws rather than a standard 9 so this is even less stability for mounting. If you need to pack up and move just remember to remove those heavy items before you box it up or the board will break.

Overall Review: The ATX 1155 socket is just getting harder and harder to find so I really had no choice but to purchase this a second time. The first one the DIMM slots burned out after a GPU upgrade

Worn in less than a month?

Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows

Pros: It matches everything I liked about the wired controller without the hassle of a cord getting in the way,

Cons: I started having similar issues as some others in their reviews with losing the signal and cycling to reconnect on the middle of a game. The lights have always cycled ever few moments since I got it, now the connection gets lost.

Overall Review: About two weeks ago the right trigger started squeaking really loud when used. Sounds like the spring in there. Toady the "A" button is getting more annoying to press like it is snagging on something inside. I think I got one with a plastic burr or something inside. Too much of a hassle to RMA. Just won't ever buy again. This is not a fault of Newegg but a manufacturing defect.

Great Price

M0K 360° Rotatable Leather Stand Case Cover For ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 ME173X ME173-GREEN
M0K 360° Rotatable Leather Stand Case Cover For ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 ME173X ME173-GREEN

Pros: Nice little inexpensive cover/ The added feature to be able to turn your tablet is something more expensive covers don't even feature. An elastic strap is included to keep the cover from opening while carrying.

Cons: For some strange reason it shipped with sticker tattoos with a tribal patten. Not really a con but confusing as to why it was included considering the case is textured so it would not stay on.

Overall Review: Considering this shipped all the way from China it didn't take very long to arrive.

Great Price

Considering this was shipped all the way from Asia and had to go through customs it didn't take very long at all. It was packaged securely and arrived undamaged.
