Most Favorable Review

Awesome.

Rosewill RNX-N1 Wireless-N 2.0 Dongle (2T2R) IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB2.0 Up to 300Mbps Data Rates/ WPA/WPA2 (AES, 64,128-WEP with shared-key authentication) Cisco CCS V1.0, V2.0 and V3.0 compliant Vista/Win7/MAC
Rosewill RNX-N1 Wireless-N 2.0 Dongle (2T2R) IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB2.0 Up to 300Mbps Data Rates/ WPA/WPA2 (AES, 64,128-WEP with shared-key authentication) Cisco CCS V1.0, V2.0 and V3.0 compliant Vista/Win7/MAC

Pros: The adapter keeps a steady signal all the time. I have had no problems with this adapter in Windows 7 or Windows XP. I have been using this for a few months now, and it works great. Online gaming is smooth, and consistant.

Cons: It runs warm...? Is that a con?

Overall Review: I have had wireless N adapters in the past that have been really jumpy with signal. I was suprised that this adapter got the job done, because I'm 2 floors above the router. I get a steady wireless signal, although it is low because I'm very far away from the router.

Damaged.

Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: The BIOS and device manager picked up the hard drive.

Cons: I tried formatting in windows xp, reached 100% on two attempts and received a message that windows xp could not format the hard drive. I put in my windows xp professional disc and tried formatting from there, reached about 40% and received a message that I should check and make sure the cables are plugged in properly and that the disk might be damaged. After hours of trying to format I sent in an RMA for the first time.

Overall Review: I love Western Digital and Newegg... Sometimes you just get a bad one.

You can do better.

APEVIA X-QPACK2-NW-BK/500 Black Aluminum Body/ Front Mask Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 500W Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK2-NW-BK/500 Black Aluminum Body/ Front Mask Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pros: Purchased a green case, but the same exact model. The temperature LCD screen is nice and bright. Had no problems installing hardware and large video cards. It's an attractive case. No issues turning the case on and off normally.

Cons: I wouldn't recommend this case. While it has a unique and cool look, it feels really cheap and flimsy. I have bought cases for under $50 that are more durable. For the price it's not worth it. You can find better quality cases for half the price. There are black metal grills on the front for airflow, both of them fell off during the first month of ownership. It looks ugly without the grills. Closing the case can be a pain too because of the flimsy material. The LCD screen worked occasionally. Sometimes I would turn the computer on and it wouldn't power the LCD screen. Randomly it would turn on and off. I'm not sure why. The temperature seemed accurate at least when it did work. The handle that you use to carry it around feels very cheap. It gets stuck in the outward position often and felt like it's about to snap off since I've owned it. It hasn't broken, but I can't say that the handle feels reliable at all. I'm always waiting for it to break and expecting the PC to fall on my foot or something. I can't justify the price at all.

Overall Review: Again, it's not a bad case. It looks good and there is some space to work in it. I wanted something different, and something that I can carry. This was my first cube case, and if you buy a case like this you have to expect that certain things will be different. While I do like how it looks, it looks like swiss cheese when the black grills fell off because the metal has multiple holes behind he grills. I tried putting them back on but they kept falling off.

Does what it's supposed to

StarTech.com 1ft Low Profile Latching SATA to eSATA Plate Adapter (ESATAPLT1LPL)
StarTech.com 1ft Low Profile Latching SATA to eSATA Plate Adapter (ESATAPLT1LPL)

Pros: It is a SATA to eSATA connector. It does what it's supposed to. No software or drivers necessary. Just plug it in.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It is a Low Profile plate. This means that it is only going to fit slimline PCs like my Dell Optiplex 780. The plate on this device is meant for a much smaller I/O panel than ATX. If you have a standard ATX case, or Micro ATX, or even ITX, then you do not want to buy this. This fits slimline PCs.

Great card!

EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I upgraded to this card from a EVGA Superclocked 460 and the difference is awesome. I'm able to max out graphics in every game I play with no issues. Graphics are smooth, and games are quick and responsive with no lag.

Cons: It's a big card, but it fits great in my full tower :)

Overall Review: I have owned this video card for more than a year, and paid well over $300 for it. This is a great buy, and I would reccommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade.

Worth it.

ETopSell PC Wireless Controller Gaming Receiver For Microsoft XBOX 360
ETopSell PC Wireless Controller Gaming Receiver For Microsoft XBOX 360

Pros: Good price. It works... eventually.

Cons: It's a different brand than the photo. The CD is useless, mine was a very small CD, and when it was inside my drive it would just spin very fast and would not be detected. Based on other reviews, its useless. I don't mind taking some time figuring out how to install it.

Overall Review: It took me 5 minutes to install and pair the controller with the receiver. I searched through my Internet browser using the USB hardware ID. Mine was different also. Found a blog with the driver. Downloaded the driver. Browsed for the driver through device manager. Found the driver, it says it's not Microsoft's driver, pressed continue anyway. Installed the driver and paired it. It works now.

Great seller. Would do business again.

I ordered something that I did not need right away, and I forgot all about the order. 2 months passed, and as I was browsing my Newegg account, I saw that I had placed an order with the seller. I could not view the tracking information, and I couldn't find the product in my house. I messaged the seller, and had asked for information regarding my order. The seller replied within a day, and very kindly informed me that it was sent in a very small package. I looked around my house today, and I found it. There was no issue with the seller, it was my fault. I know the item arrived early because I saw the package, and completely forgot about it. I'm glad that there was prompt communication after 2 months. Thanks again Patazon.
