Link Depot SATA2L-3-UVR SATA II WITH LOCKING (90 Degree) cable
Link Depot SATA2L-3-UVR SATA II WITH LOCKING (90 Degree) cable

Pros: Long, fast cable. Ends lock in place, so they won't fall out! Transfers are not slow due to length.

Cons: While this is purely aesthetic, the cables are pink, and glow a very hot pink under UV lights, being cold cathode tubes, or a real UV blacklight. I did not expect it to be such a pink color.

Overall Review: All in all, the unexpected color does NOT detract from the cables, however it is not quite what was expected. The cool thing is, the plastic casing of the cable is sort of darker color while there are bright lines going along the cable... Which make the cable have a really neat affect.

SIIG IC-510012 5.1 Channels 16-bit PCI Interface SoundWave 5.1 PCI Surround Sound Card
SIIG IC-510012 5.1 Channels 16-bit PCI Interface SoundWave 5.1 PCI Surround Sound Card

Pros: It was pretty cheap. It works very well... AFTER some griping on its part, and some prodding to get it to work... And it looks darn nice to boot, haha.

Cons: I was a bit disappointed at first It conflicted with my video card, which was a hassle of having to take BOTH cards out, booting into windows with the on board video, then shutting down, placing both cards back in.. again, it not wanting to boot that way, it was insisting on using onboard video with this card installed. I finally figured out that I had to use a specific PCI slot, shutting down after booting into windows, THEN placing my video card back in, and it finally wanted to work that way. I was then cursed with random crashes upon playing sounds of any sort. I had to search through four different driver versions before it finally worked, and I've yet to have a crash since.

Overall Review: I am satisfied with this card now, however I wouldn't buy it again. It took alot of work to get it working. Perhaps I got a bad card, perhaps not. All in all, it is a nice card in the end. And I am happy with it. I however would not recommend it to an average user, for the troubles it has caused me personally. I've never had so much problems installing a simple sound card, or any hardware for that matter.

APEVIA CF4SL-URED 80mm Red LED Case Fan
APEVIA CF4SL-URED 80mm Red LED Case Fan

Pros: Nice and dark, solid red LED lights. It is not too bright! The fan has a sort of low whoosh, not a type of whine found in some fans.

Cons: The connector is sort of low quality construction, and I had to wiggle the molex connector a bit to get the pins in place on EITHER side.

Overall Review: I am glad out of the two fans I ordered, both have a low whoosh, not a higher pitch whine like some fans. While this can be heard by more people/throughout a greater distance.... It is NOT painful to the ears, or unpleasant!

Simple and quick

Apollo Radeon HD 4670 256MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AP-HD4670 256MB
Apollo Radeon HD 4670 256MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AP-HD4670 256MB

Pros: Works perfect! It can play any of the new games I tried (2007 on) on highest settings at 1440x900, even with 2x-4x AA, and works wonders! I've not had stutter, lag, or anything of the sort while playing many of the top end games with this card! For the price, you are getting an amazing deal, plenty to play the newest games at great detail!

Cons: The only thing is that the heatsink was painted, and a few times out of the few months I've had it I've had video card related crashes... Though admittedly they are driver related, which really can't be helped.

Overall Review: If only the memory was 256 bit, then this card would be amazing. Then again, it's hardly noticeable, at all. Thanks, Newegg, for the amazing card.

Pros: They work, flawlessly infact. No coasters, even while burning at full speeds!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: My pack only came with 19, not 20.. That is the cause of the 4 eggs.. heh. Not Newegg's fault!
