Unsurpassed Quality, best way to get Modern wifi and bluetooth
Pros: Quickest affordable dual band AC card, Bluetooth 4.0 I've used this card in 4 desktops, and including the desktops, I've used the 7260 AC chip in 7 computers to upgrade them
Cons: antenna has great reception but I would prefer classic high gain antennas than this long wired square oddity Bluetooth needs USB 2.0 header on motherboard for desktops
Overall Review: the cons aren't a big enough problem to lower the rating, it's really worth the money!
Works, that's about it
Pros: Works
Cons: Cheap quality, cheap plastic, feels flimsy, I accidentally broke the IR receiver
Overall Review: I accidentally broke the receiver while integrating it into my case, but I bought an after market internal receiver and the remote works great with it.
Looks great on the outside, poorly designed insides, You should heed my warnings before buying!
Pros: You can fit a lot into it, looks really good, steel case is strong and durable
Cons: Inside of the case is not made well Has a weird rubber cable management thingy that is supposed to be glued into the HDD bracket, it wasn't attached when I opened the case and took my 15 minutes to figure out what it was and where it went. It got in the way anyway so I didn't put it back in Stupid fan filter design, the filters are on the inside and attached to the fans with screws. To clean or even remove the two filters next to the motherboard, requires removing the motherboard, I removed the internal filters and replaced them with external Silverstone FF122 magnetic filters, and they look good on the case too Power supply install had major issues, you can only install the power supply fan side down and you have to put stupid rubber feet on the power supply to give it enough height to put it in. I have a EVGA 500W in it and the rear holes didn't line up, nor did the screws supplied with the case fit. Luckily the screws that came with the PSU fit, but I had to push and pull a lot to get the screws in and it took me 30 minutes of cursing to install it (THE CASE WAS EMPTY HOW HARD IS IT TO INSTALL A PSU IN AN EMPTY CASE?). To top it all off the fan intake holes on the bottom DON'T LINE UP AT ALL with the fan in my PSU and because of this about 1/5 of my fan is blocked by the case. The rubber pads separating the frame/brackets from the top panel fall off because of the same horrible glue that the cable management thing is on them. CAME WITH A MOLEX ADAPTER FOR THE 3 CASE FANS! If I wanted to have an extremely loud HTPC with 3 case fans running at 100% speed ALL THE TIME, I would have bought the adapter myself! My solution was to buy the Silvestone CPF02 1 to 3 way PWM splinter so I can control fan speed in Windows Case paint is horrible, it peeled off around some of the screws in the back, but it's in the back.... so. The standoffs for the motherboard are slightly off and because of this the I/O on my board is slightly off center for the I/O shield and the expansion card slots in the back of the case don't line up very well with the PCIE slots making it difficult to install the cards (Yes I took the board out multiple times, it's the case) Has a HDD activity LED but no cutout in the front of the case for it? WHY??? Speaking of LEDs, the case wires are too long! Who needs front I/O wires that stretch form one end of the case and back again? Or fan wires that also stretch from one end to the other and back? Now I see why they have the cable management loops on the bottom, not for the PSU wires, but for the comically long case wires! Weird airflow design, especially if you have a long video card installed Can fit most full size video cards but the power plug can interfere with the center support bar and you have to remove the optical drive/center support bar to install said card. The plug may interfere with closing the top too
Overall Review: It looks really good fully assembled, after all the hell I went through I'm happy with the case's end result, but would I recommend some one else hell no unless you can get it for half off, and would I consider buying it again? DOUBLE HELL NO! feel this case should have been half the price I paid for it especially since I had to buy extra parts to make it work like the fan adapter and filters
Nearly perfect mouse!
Pros: customization for perfect weight and hand fit, smooth gliding across table EVGA support and warranty
Cons: the sensitivity is too sensitive even when controlled with the software the dpi button too easy to accidentally press and fling your pointer across the screen the side buttons are too sensitive and easy to press with your thumb when web browsing resulting in web page changes
Overall Review: Best mouse with best feel for gaming at a great price Awesome for gaming... not so much for other stuff
Amazing!
Pros: easy to install not too big great ram clearance great cooling looks awesome
Cons: has the LEDs held in with globs of hot glue has unsightly "warranty void if removed" label on fan power cable
Overall Review: the cons aren't bad and the label can be taped down to help hide it
Allows Overclocking on K SKU chips
Pros: Works great, more features than a B85 should have including K SKU chip overclocking
Cons: none
Overall Review: Works great in my HTPC
Still waiting on refund! (Got it a month later... sorta, through Newegg not the seller) Do not trust these people!
This seller wants me to rate them, since I've received one personal email from them and one from Newegg to rate them, sure I'll rate them! The video card I purchased was defective, I RMA'd it the night I received it and shipped it out the very next day. They received it exactly 2 weeks ago according to tracking, and informed me it would take 7 to 10 business days to process my RMA and refund me, two weeks later I'm still waiting on my money and currently I am out 160 some dollars with nothing to show for it! They also have not contacted me in over a week although I have sent them an email since then. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!<br><br>1 week later update: I'M STILL WAITING ON MY REFUND!!!!!!!! WHERE IS MY MONEY?!<br><br>OVER 1 MONTH later update: The seller never contacted me back after multiple attempts to contact them. I had to contact Newegg and they opened an RMA to refund me. Newegg took their sweet time refunding me too but, nearly a month and half later (yesterday in fact) I finally got MOST of my money back. I'm still currently out $24.98 of my FULL refund because Newegg has charged me a restocking fee for a BROKEN card THAT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE??? I'm livid! Newegg get your act together and refund me the bogus restocking fee before you lose a customer! 5 Days later update: Newegg got me all the money back including the restocking fee, apparently it was an antonline charge not a newegg charge. IF I COULD LEAVE 0 EGGS FOR THIS REVIEW I WOULD! but thanks for fixing the problem Newgg
