Must buy for older PCs

Pros: My older PC has the first generation Intel Pentium 4 board. That's right, an RDRAM beast. USB onboard controller is USB 1.1, which made my front ports on the Lian Li case pointless. I fought it long enough but finally realized it was stupid not to have USB 2.0 ports enabled on this machine. Well, now the front ports are mighty fast and the two extra rear ports this card gives fulfills every single USB need I have for this archaic machine. Should have done this long ago.
Cons: None at all
Overall Review: Newegg is wonderful, delivery and promptness are what everyone on here have come to expect. If you have an older PC, this is the card to buy to give just the slightest update of more current standards.
Woe is me

Pros: If you get a working drive, it's a pretty stellar drive for the price range. Transfer rates are decent for its RPM speed and the heat it produces is low. 3TB is a nice and ample amount for steady backups of your machine.
Cons: Failure rate!!!! Like many others here, I've been the victim of lousy WD quality control. Seriously, is it that difficult to produce drives THAT ARE WORKING prior to leaving the factory? Newegg really bulletproofed these for shipping, so, this is definitely not a case of damage during transit. Simple logic here: (drive = new) + (drive = not working on arrival) = BROKEN OUT OF THE FACTORY!!!!!!!!
Overall Review: It's sad, really. I've purchased nothing but WD drives since the old IDE days and they were always rock solid, long-lasting drives that I could count on. Times sure have changed where I order four drives and two arrive dead on arrival. WD, listen, if I wanted to play the lottery, I'd go out and buy a scratch-off ticket. At least there, I expect to gamble and lose, not when I'm buying a brand new product that I expect to work upon purchase. Now I have to RMA on my dime for shipping just to fix what should not have been wrong in the first place. Tisk, tisk....shame on you, WD.
Excellent Second Screen Android Solution

Pros: Versatility of the monitor is great with the USB C and mini HDMI connection ports. Build quality is excellent, this is not some cheap feeling monitor. The touchscreen ability works as advertised. You can navigate your Android device completely with the monitor if you want to. Very beautiful IPS screen output and color reproduction. Glossy screen is excellent. 4K output at 60hz is awesome and operates without an issue. For an unknown brand, this is every bit as premium as the well known name brands and their offerings.
Cons: Speakers aren't very good, but they're serviceable.
Overall Review: I was looking for a second screen solution to use with my Ayn Odin 2 Portal that would actually work with the finicky screen output of the handheld due to the version of Android it uses. This monitor just works, period. The auto rotate functionality works exactly as described if the need is there, but for the Portal screen output, it perfectly mirrors the main screen the moment you connect it to the USB C connection. Dual screen gaming is an absolute treat using this monitor with the Portal. As for the screen itself, beautiful. You'll have to adjust the settings in the monitor for the ideal calibration, but they're very easy to access and adjust until you get things locked in where you need them to be. Very vibrant colors, and the reflective screen is so much better than a matte finish for the immersion of the output. While it's not as eye popping as the OLED on the Portal, it's definitely a close second and makes for a perfect gaming setup that has not disappointed me at all with the gaming sessions I've been playing through. Comparing to previous IPS monitors I've owned, this is definitely a unit that pushes the peak of IPS ability around color reproduction and overall screen output quality. 4K output is crisp without any odd pixelalization or screen smearing while rendering. The built-in speakers aren't that great, but they're definitely serviceable if you want to use them for the sound output. If your device has good speaker output, you'll want to stick with those over the ones in the monitor. I have this connected to a dedicated power supply via the first USB C connector with the Portal connected to the second USB C connector on the monitor. Absolutely no flicker or stuttering with this setup as it keeps everything powered as needed. The monitor also acts as a pass through for powering the Portal, which means no battery drain during long gaming sessions. That's an awesome feature for this setup. Overall, I can't recommend this enough if your use case is similar to mine. Even as a second screen for a laptop, I'd recommend this without hesitation. The build quality and performance of the monitor is truly worth the price. After several test drives of external monitors that resulted in disappointment and returns, I'm happy to have finally found my Portal monitor solution and end the search.
Believe the reviews

Pros: The response time while typing is incredible. Typing feels so much more natural and I'm actually able to type faster because of it. Everything about the construction and push to each key just feels perfect. Honestly, this is the finest keyboard I've ever owned and glad I convinced myself the cost was worth ignoring.
Cons: Cost. Yes, it is expensive and that will likely throw off many people. But once you own it and actually use it, you quickly realize every penny is justified. Yes, this board is that amazing.
Overall Review: Just buy it. This is a genuine product worth the hype and cost.

Zero eggs
Ordered a charger on 12/14/2016. As of today, 1/14/2017, I still don't have my item. Absurdly poor customer service.
