Great Controler
Pros: Very nice looking. Great, easy to read LED read outs of RPM and Temp in either degs F or C. Installed in under 5 mins. I couldn't be happier.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Nice long wires and probes. Knobs are shallow enough for my case door to close
Nice computer but the video crapped out in 4 months
Pros: It is fast with lots of storage
Cons: Didnt last
Overall Review: No
Nice product good information to set up
Pros: Good product information available. I did have a problem with the processor and the motherboard info was helpful to sort it out. NewEgg was quick to respond with no hassle.
Cons: can't complain
Best MS OS Ever
Pros: Installs very quickly. No hassles, very few stops. I had the new hard drive and OS installed in under 30 min. I've installed every OS since 3.0 and this is the best.
Cons: This is the first OEM OS I've installed and I tried for several hours to sign up with MS as a system builder in order to get the pre-installation software. After several dead ends and frustration I just put the disk in the drive and fired it up. Easy pezzy after that.
Overall Review: I try to do things the way people ask, but when companies like Microsoft make it incredibly hard to follow their rule, to heck with it. Newegg rocks solid. I'd spend more money if necessary to buy from Newegg. But it is rarely necessary. Thanks
UpGrade, Full or OEM
Pros: I didn't want to go from XP to Vista, but now I'm glad I did. My motherboard died and I replace it and processor. When I reinstalled XP I fouled up the register and couldn't even boot to the Safe mode. I figured I'd upgrade and my problem would be solved. Not. I did get good support from MS and got it installed in under 2 hours. Vista Ultimate is a good looking OS and has some nice bells and whistles. Had no problems with drivers. HD sound is GREAT.
Cons: I learned the hard way that the upgrade needs to be installed from the previous OS window. I couldn't open it so I had to have MS help me through the process. Because I couldn't boot from my old OS I had to do a clean install and there for had to reinstall all my programs.
Overall Review: I saved some money by getting the upgrade over a full version and with a little hassle all is well. Glad I got a retail version or I would have been stuck. NewEgg was fast and complete as usual.
