Refurb Tablets

Hisense Sero 7 LT E270BSA Tablet PC - nVIDIA Tegra 3 1.6 GHz Processor - 1 GB RAM - 4 GB Storage - 7.0-inch Display - Android 4.1.1
Hisense Sero 7 LT E270BSA Tablet PC - nVIDIA Tegra 3 1.6 GHz Processor - 1 GB RAM - 4 GB Storage - 7.0-inch Display - Android 4.1.1

Pros: Bought 2 of these Thanksgiving 2013 (Black Friday sale) for my brother-in-law and mom. Both had never owned a tablet and say they love it. My mom prefers her tablet over the desktop computer I built for her. So it must preform nicely enough to pay bills on, etc.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I suggest trying a different charging cord/adapter if your tablet won't charge. My other review of one of the Pro Sero 7 tablets I got had a faulty wall adapter.

Mouse review

Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Larger design. Buttons located in good spots. Super fast scroll wheel. DPI settings. Really great mouse except for the following cons and other thoughts.

Cons: Nearly impossible to click anything. At times it works great and next minute a single click mean 10 clicks to this thing! Seems to be a theme when looking at other reviews. See other thoughts for info.

Overall Review: Purchased on 5/27/2011. For considerably less than what it is listed for now. I do not know why it has increased in price by 50 percent. It appears to only last 3 to 5 years. I got 4 years out of it which equates to about $15 a year for a mouse. Seems a bit steep. Product states: "Durability Buttons (Left / Right): 8 million clicks Feet: 250 kilometers" and "3-year limited hardware warranty" Even at 1,000 clicks a day (which I do not have) I would be at 1.4 million clicks so far and it is failing. Not even half of what it claims. Warranty just short enough to screw me over. With the dramatic increase in price and obvious inability for the mouse to live up to its stated standards I cannot recommend it nor will I purchase a mouse from Logitech again.

Sero 7 PRO!

Hisense Sero 7 PRO M470BSA 7.0" Touchscreen Android Tablet NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core CPU 1.30Ghz, 1GB Memory, 8GB Internal Storage, Micro SD card slot, Mini HDMI Out, NFC, Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)

Pros: I bought 2 Sero 7 PRO tablets during the 2013 Black Friday sales here on newegg. Both tablets operate perfectly and are comparable to high end tablets like the google nexus.

Cons: One tablet would not charge and upon further investigation it was the wall adapter which was faulty. I had already ordered a 3m long mini usb charging cable and used an android phone wall charger to substitute in. One tablet had a very faint scratch on the top left of the screen outside of the viewable area. None of these were a major issue. Simple fixes that did not necessitate a return. Comes with some typical google bloatware.

Overall Review: If you cannot charge your device try replaced the cords and or wall adapter/plugin.

Not bad

G.SKILL FTB-3500C5-D Fans
G.SKILL FTB-3500C5-D Fans

Pros: Had to bend the metal into place for it to be back into what looked like manufacturer intended specs. (Came bent) Overall they work really well. You just face a possibility of it breaking when getting it to fit. For the price, its worth it.

Cons: Just that it came bent. Outer packaging looked just fine. Must have been prior to packaging.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I'd recommend it in the end.

Pros: Once again G.Skill has not let me down with their quality memory. Third of forth time buying their ripjaws series for multiple builds. Work great in all of them!

Cons: none

Overall Review: Buy it now!

Pros: This is a great CPU. Cool running temps and seems to handle everything I need it to. Plenty of room for those who are new to the computer building game to work with! Worth the buy, recommended!

Cons: None!!!

Overall Review: Came in a spiffy tin case instead of the typical cardboard one.
