Garbage

TRONWIRE TW-32 RGB LED CPU Cooler With Aluminum Heatsink & 4-Pin PWM 120mm Fan With Thermal Paste For Intel AMD Universal Socket 1200 1151 1150 AM3 AM2 Desktop PC Computer

Pros: None

Cons: Doesn't cool CPU Not argb

Overall Review: CPU ran at 80 degrees C with this sorry excuse for a cooler. I had to switch to any other old cooler I had to return to normal temps. And, I guess I should have noticed the rgb is not addressable. Really upset with this waste of money.

Great Value

Pros: It does everything it's supposed to do and it was half the price of all the others on Black Friday.

Cons: N/A

Absolute Garbage (now)

ASUS F1A75-V PRO FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: ***UPDATE*** WOULD BE 0 EGGS IF POSSIBLE.*** Great motherboard when it worked. I've owned Asus products for the past 20 years, so I gave them a chance when my mb failed. When working, it easily out-performed my x64 6400+ with a 9800GT overclocked using just the A8 3850 APU.

Cons: Stopped working after 2 months (just after the newegg policy expired) and for the past two months, I've been trying to get a replacement from Asus. I've been on hold for 2 1/2 hours today alone trying to figure out why my motherboard wasn't fixed the first time and why they returned me the same mb the second time after they said they would replace it.

Overall Review: I've been using Asus products for the past 20 years and I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt the past 2 months. It's finally time to give up... something has gone terribly wrong!!! I hooked a hard drive up to the board one day that caused it to crash. Ever since, it hasn't booted. only problem is that Asus doesn't seem to be taking care of it. I miss the old Asus!!!

Pros: Works as advertised. Long.

Cons: Too thick. This cable is twice the thickness of a normal HDMI cable making it too thick for my conduit and does not bend gracefully. I should have read the other reviews more closely before buying.

Overall Review: If I knew it was so thick, I would have gotten an adapter to connect two smaller HDMI cables instead. Did I miss this in the description? 24 AWG must be 'per strand?' If you are buying to put behind a wall then I would say 5 stars but, only 3 for my application.

Pros: Big

Cons: Had to download the "third party garbage" software from Western Digital to partition and format as one drive. Not a big issue that I had to download software to do so, just not happy that Western Digital isn't the owner of the software. Not enough of a problem to take away an egg though.

Overall Review: Back up and play my Blu-Ray movies with XBMC no problem. Shows up as 1.83 TB. Unless the price of the 3 TB drives comes way down, I'll be picking up another couple of these for backing up my movie collection.
