Don't Buy the My Book

WD Elements 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDE1U5000N
WD Elements 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDE1U5000N

Pros: This Drive Works Great. Seeks well, runs quiet and cool, and has just what it needs nothing more.

Cons: None, really. I would like it to be black.

Overall Review: If all you want is a backup drive buy this one. You will spend more money on the mybook and all your getting is a usb hub, which has the potential to fry the whole thing. If you ask me less is more with the Elements drive.

Most Critical Review

I don't have a refurb but...

VIZIO VSB201 2 CH Home Theater Sound Bar-Refurbished Single
VIZIO VSB201 2 CH Home Theater Sound Bar-Refurbished Single

Pros: Sound is good if it works

Cons: Probably won't work, may be dirty.

Overall Review: I have been burnt more than once ordering refurbs from newegg. I do own this model but did not buy it from here. The sound on the bar is great if you are not looking for surround sound type quality. I guess what I mean by great is that it's louder. I have limited space and live in an old home. I did not want wires exposed, or to have to do major repairs to my lath and plaster walls, so this was a good option for louder sound. Side note, I have been extremely disappointed in newegg's "refurbs" as of late. Plain and simple, they have nothing to do with it nor do they check the products before they make it to you. I have ordered refurb items recently and they were not only non-functioning but they were actually dirty. :( Buyer beware.

Died after 1 Year

Pros: It worked for a year.

Cons: It worked for a year.

Overall Review: I used this drive as a backup device in and external enclosure. 1 year and 6 months after purchase, with minimal usage, this drive died and I lost all my data. Thanks Samsung :-(

2/3 worked more than 30 days

LG Over the Ear Bluetooth Headset Bulk (HBM-760)
LG Over the Ear Bluetooth Headset Bulk (HBM-760)

Pros: The earpiece is very comforatble and the sound quality is great. It has a little leg that allows it to sit off your face so if you have a beard, like I do, it's not scratchy. Battery seems to last for a long time.

Cons: None really.... If it works longer than 30 days.

Overall Review: I bought 3 of these for my father, wife, and myself. Mine died after 30 days and of course a few days after neweggs return date sooooo..... I am trying to contact LG to get it replaced.

Not Very Good

APEVIA KI-COMBO-BK Black 104 Normal Keys 22 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse
APEVIA KI-COMBO-BK Black 104 Normal Keys 22 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse

Pros: The keyboard is alright. I do like the media buttons and it works. Thats about it, oh yeah, its cheap.

Cons: The keyboard came with the numlocks sticker upside down, so you can't ever tell wether or not they are on. Not bad for me but I was building this for an older gentleman who has little understanding of computers. The left mouse button was "sticky", it didn't press down very easily and the mouse stays blue ALL THE TIME, or at least until you shut off the PSU, as if you are going to lose a wired mouse.

Overall Review: It works

Pros: The finish is really cool, modular cable psu's are the way to go for max airflow. It has a 5 year warranty. Silent and relatively low temp.

Cons: The whole psu should be modular.
