SATA clipped

Nippon Labs Premium 18" (1.5 ft.) SATA II Cable with locking latch for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.5ft Model SATA-L0.5-R 1.5 feet
Nippon Labs Premium 18" (1.5 ft.) SATA II Cable with locking latch for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.5ft Model SATA-L0.5-R 1.5 feet

Pros: Does what it is supposed to, adequate cable length, arrived on time, was trackable.

Cons: clip means I can not use this on all my SATA ports as they are arranged stacked on motherboard (Sabertooth 990fx) would have preferred no clip, but with my current set up it works

Overall Review: decent for the price, I knew about the clip before buying so no big deal to me, but I would not buy in bulk because of the clip feature

Most Critical Review

RMA IN WAITING

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: looks nice - generally a quality company

Cons: Still waiting for RMA from ASUS - 4 days late and counting - after paying over night shipping charges - hopefully ASUS make this right tomorrow. Newegg customer service was zero help - they gave me a number for ASUS which referred me to another number

Overall Review: from my research I am now now finding my issue - the CPU LED light of red death is a common issue on this board. Here is hoping ASUS make things right

RMA DEATH

ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: 5 year warranty

Cons: Bought 1yr ago - finally got all parts to build and CPU LED light is on - MOTHERBOARD IS DEAD. As over 90 days newegg was zero help. Paid for overnight shipping on RMA - part is still not shipped - 3 days late and counting. ASUS when you finally get a hold of a rep are polite, but actions speak louder than words and those actions say TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

Overall Review: I am HOPING ASUS make this right - calling them leaves you on hold an average of 30 - 40 mins - I build systems on the side, but unless ASUS makes this right I won't be using them again for anything other than paper weights

Sony DVD drive

SONY Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1681S-0B

Pros: Came quick and intact by UPS. Plain features will blend in nicely with my case. Good price from a good manufacturer

Cons: NO CABLES!! Building a PC from scratch is fine, but I will now need to spend some extra on cables

Overall Review: I needed spare cables anyway - now I just need them sooner rather than later
