Most Favorable Review

Where's the case?

Pros: Looks good.

Cons: Where's the case? How do I get one? -1 egg for it not being included as others described. Risky just putting it in my laptop bag without some kind of cover. The foam thing won't last long.

Overall Review: I have an AOC 21.5" monitor I got awhile back as a second desktop monitor, and their quality is good for the price.

Great...but

Pros: These sound great and are very transparent. You also can't beat the special price of $99.99 each with free shipping (thanks, NewEgg!). One arrived yesterday from Nashville and one arrived today from Memphis. I wish I had gotten two from Nashville (see Cons). I am replacing a pair of RT55's on stands for my main stereo rig, and these bad boys love my sufficiently powered Onkyo receiver. +/- 0 volume is simply awesome. I really like the sound.

Cons: Unfortunately, one of the speakers arrived with the speaker grill broken (seriously collapsed at the top with broken plastic). I described the issue when I registered the speaker with the broken grill earlier today, but haven't heard back from Polk Audio yet. From what I'm seeing in the other reviews, it will be awhile before I get a new one. Automatic 1 egg deduction for hassle factor. Maybe if Polk Audio folks read these reviews, they'll send the grill manufacturing design back to those engineers who are always under pressure to cost-cut their designs. The RT55's were a much better design and manufactured with a better quality grill. I think a speaker grill that is nearly free standing and suspended away from the speaker box is just asking for trouble, especially one made of thin plastic.

Fast and cool

Pros: Fast enough to run a Virtual Machine from and still be a nice external image backup device for my notebook.

Cons: None; 7200 RPM and 100 GB makes it worth the slight premium.

Overall Review: I got one of these from Dell before NewEgg started carrying it. I would have bought it from NewEgg, but it simply wasn't available until now.

Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable has a slight tolerances issue

Seller was fine and item delivered within the window promised. Taking one star off because, while the cable works fine for 5k, the min-DisplayPort jack is a little loose in my MSI Dominator laptop Mini-DisplayPort port, and thus can cause display issues unless it is additionally secured, which I have done. Otherwise, 5 stars.
