Pros: Comes with nero 9 essentials always a plus when you get software and didnt realize it. Front bezel matches the antec sonata 500 case very well. Looks like it came with it.

Cons: Does not support my coffee mug when open. They should really give the tray more support.

Overall Review: e=mc^2

Cheap antec Case

Antec VSK4000E Black SGCC steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec VSK4000E Black SGCC steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great Price, looks good for what it is

Cons: steal is so flimsy, purchase 4 of them some had dents, the screws do not fit into the holes well.

Overall Review: I've loved antec for years, just not sure why companies make inexpensive products so badly. I would think they wouldn't bother risking their reputation on a cheap product that doesn't work all that well. I'm guessing the issue is the light weight steel that they use. If they made it a little bitter thicker you would probably have less issues with the pre-holed screws. Just my guess

2 out of 3

ASUS B85M-G R2.0 LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS B85M-G R2.0 LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: 2 out of 3 seemed to work perfect so far, only a week old. System should have been Asus b85m-g, core i5, 16gb, gtx650

Cons: 1 out of 3 was DOA receives no power whatsoever. Swapped power supplies still nothing. Tried jumping out the power switch in case it was a fault chassis. No led light when plugged in. Have to RMA to Asus now

Overall Review: after ordering $3800 worth of equipment for a small business and tossing out all the cardboard i found out i can't return this item to newegg because i don't have the original box. So now i'm stuck ordering a new one to get up and running and waiting on asus rma to replace it. I guess it will be handy having a motherboard on my shelf... Not a big fan of leaving negative comments. But out of 8 asus products purchased at the same time 2 were defective. then i couldnt return for a new one kind of makes me angry. So 2 stars for each product. 25% DOA rate is a little ridiculous this day and age.

Seems drivers are common problem

ASUS GeForce GTX 650 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GTX650-E-2GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GTX650-E-2GD5

Pros: Built 4 machines for someone using this card. 3 out of 4 worked. windows 7 rates it a 7.3

Cons: 1 only works with standard windows vga driver which is utterly useless. Tried all different drivers from asus to nvidia directly. Once its installs and the system reboots you get to the windows symbole for a second then screen goes black and resets the machine. Spent way too much time trying to figure it out thinking it was possibly the pcie slot. Put in another one of these cards and it works fine

Overall Review: After ordering $3800 in equipment then tossing out boxes because my house was a mess to find out i cant return the broken items i had because i don't have a box is pretty annoying. Now i have to rma to Asus and wait and reorder the parts. So basically i'll have $200 in parts i don't need.

Disappointed

Iogear GH8211EK HDMI Extender with IR Control and Power Over Cat5e/6 (POC)
Iogear GH8211EK HDMI Extender with IR Control and Power Over Cat5e/6 (POC)

Pros: SImple to hook up Hdmi worked perfectly...

Cons: I purchased two of these. Neither of them worked when it came to the IR

Overall Review: I read the review that the sensor wasn't the greatest which honestly as long as it worked i wouldn't have cared. Purchased two units and neither of them would transmit IR signal. Big disappointment

died

ECS A55F-M4(1.0) FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ECS A55F-M4(1.0) FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Plain board simple board. Built cheap system for my father. A4 330, 4gb ram. Apparently i went to cheap

Cons: Died just under 3 months of of use. Sound cut off a couple nights ago. Next morning wouldn't turn on. Sent in RMA request today. Cant wait for another fine piece of equipment.

Overall Review: Hate the fact i have to pay shipping for a RMA on such a cheap item. Is it even worth it?
