Neat little box for kodi and zoneminder
Pros: Beautiful case; tool-less, and all the front components are in a nice swing-out bracket. Everything was clean and in good condition. When they refurbished it they seem to have replaced the whole front bezel--it still had the protective film on it. 4 slots for DDR3; if you ever want more, you can get it up to 32.
Cons: HDMI would have been nice, but an adapter cable is pretty cheap, so not really a con.
Overall Review: bought this to replace a dinosaur core2 duo that just wasn't keeping up after I installed zoneminder kubuntu 18.04 installed without incident. kodi works fine, using remote MySQL and files on a NAS. No buffering, dropouts, etc. like with the old computer zoneminder works well, too. with one camera at high res it uses about 23% of the cpu according to top.
OK if it has all the pieces
Pros: These Logitech K400s are decent wireless keyboards. For an HTPC they are a functional interface.
Cons: Arrived without the receiver
Overall Review: The return shipping costs about the same as the missing receiver, and...maybe on the next try the order gets completed? Smarter to be sure and just buy a receiver from another supplier. All told paid around the same price a new one would have cost from newegg or the other supplier. So in the end I bought a refurb trying to save money; wound up paying the same as new. It seems the appropriate response from a vendor would be to complete the partial order. Of course the best response to a customer placing an order would be to ship it out complete the first time ;).
5 stars for honesty
Pros: They refunded the money
Cons: The product never arrived
Overall Review: Shipping problems; stuff happens. Vendor refunded the money quickly and without argument.
Commodity item does exactly what it's supposed to
Pros: Stuck 'em in my TS140s and the are recognized & they work just like you'd expect. Note the TS140s already came with 4G ECC stick in each; I left those in; all play nice together.
Cons: They didn't cost $5.00 each.
Counterfeit but newegg handled it well
Pros: None. See other...
Cons: Counterfeit, Non Functional Gear
Overall Review: Submitted rma; newegg wants me to pay shipping. Called them &explained I should not pay to return fake product. Newegg agrees; sends rtn label & refunds money. 5 eggs for cust svc! 0 eggs for vetting your suppliers!
Good product; warranty two weeks short
Pros: These are good cheap hard drives, and you get what you pay for. Eight of these have been running without a hiccup in a couple of NASs for around a year. I trust these well enough to buy another set of them as the data continues to expand.
Cons: All are missing a couple of weeks from their warranty: Seagate responds for each serial number "In WarrantyExpiration 22-Dec-2015" Label on the case pack with the same serial numbers inside as outside shows these were sold to "Ingram Micro" at 3802 Micro Drive Millington, TN, 38053 on 9/19/2014. ??? In any case, only knocking off 1 egg for the shorted warranty. In my experience, Seagate has awesome warranty support, but it'd be a little much to ask any vendor to honor an expired warranty.
Overall Review: S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and weekly checks--if anything shows up in the warranty period, send it back immediately. Suggest anybody using ANY hdd expect them to fail and take measures to mitigate. Of course raid, backups, etc. are always a good idea.
Very clean "refurb" computer; fast delivery all as advertised
Computer arrived quickly and was almost indistinguishable from new. Obviously it was not in a dell box and had refurb QC stickers on it, plus non-dell kbd & mouse, but other than that, brand new. Clean inside and out; no cosmetic damage; no dust; beautiful Specs were as advertised, obviously. Runs kubuntu 18.04, kodi & zoneminder at about 25-30% total CPU load (zm is a cpu hog...)
Product not as shown
The pen shown in the picture has pink top and bottom body halves with gray clip and detail only. The pens delivered have a complete gray top half. This is the second time I tried to get the correct product, but keep receiving the wrong one. I give up. This time I don't waste my time with you. Keep the money. It is useless to try to work with you. I will not purchase again.
counterfeit
The 1-egg review is for LessIsMall. Purchased Plantronics M50; received counterfeit item. Newegg is in the process of handling it. So far no additional cost (e.g. return shipping) to me, but of course an inconvenience for all involved. Successful handling of the situation should it occur reflects positively on newegg only as the third-party vendor "LessIsMall" has as yet demonstrated no corrective action.
