Most Favorable Review

Mine works great!

Spire SPA04S4-U Sleeve WhisperRock V CPU Cooler
Spire SPA04S4-U Sleeve WhisperRock V CPU Cooler

Pros: Very quiet affordable cooler that does what I want it to. It works fine on my Athlon, does it quietly and I have had no issues with it.

Cons: Like many of these coolers this one has an undersized slot for a #2 screwdriver and has a good deal of tension so working with it causes me worry I might slip off and ram my motherboard.

Overall Review: So pleased with the first one I came here for another. I checked feedback and found a mixed bag. When these work they work very good but when their bad, their awful. I am buying another and hoping!

Most Critical Review

Money down the drain

Rosewill R624BLK ATX Mid Tower Computer Case+350W Power Supply
Rosewill R624BLK ATX Mid Tower Computer Case+350W Power Supply

Pros: Nice lines and has many features you would expect to get in a more expensive case. Comes with a low end power supply and case fan. Appears to be a very good deal. Unbelievably low priced!

Cons: The sheet metal is just too thin to be shipped in the box it comes in. I can't speak to the alignment because someone drop kicked mine. I will loose more for shipping should I return it. Very sad. On the other hand it's easy to bend back but this one is too far gone. Along the PCI slot screws the metal literally broke. In another area the top is dented badly. It's shot.

Overall Review: It really looks like it would be a decent case except the amazingly thin metal. This appears to be what in some industries is called a promo model. Super cheap but shows what they can do. It has the look of a well designed case but sadly it is often just too thin to survive shipping. Folks who get cases not mauled here seem happy with them. I'm not risking it again. Normally very happy! with NewEgg I started the RMA process and they want to charge me a sizable restock fee. Naww. I am just out the money.

Does the job

AVG Anti-Virus 2013- 3 PCs (1 Year) - Download
AVG Anti-Virus 2013- 3 PCs (1 Year) - Download

Pros: Has kept my many machines safe for years so far. Reasonably priced if you buy from Newegg. All the review rules let me say is this is the best way to buy it or you will pay a lot more. Their surf shield is really nice. Don't have a lot of diddling to do to run it.

Cons: This latest version broke a large expensive camera server program I know to be safe so this required a system restore. It didn't ask me if it could remove the items it just did so. This could be a setting but it was the default and it has never done so before. Program is still tossing errors so I will have to reload it. That's not cool. Whats with wanting to add tool bars to browsers? Hate that. The last ding is they want to be my search engine now. Must be a lot of money in searches. Not going along with this.

Overall Review: Even with the negatives if they can pull back on trying to take over the world. I mean I can get to speedtest myself thanks. If they slow their roll on some of these items I will stick with them. I use AVG to protect my server and all my workstations but I can get antivirus for free from my ISP yet I still prefer & pay for AVG. This could change. Since they require registering to use their product some thanks now and then would be nice. They never send flowers.

Bring this toaster back Oster

OSTER 6329 Brushed Stainless Inspire Toaster
OSTER 6329 Brushed Stainless Inspire Toaster

Pros: Nice looking appliance with handy features. Wide slots. Bagel setting toasts on one side only. Toast, Bagel, Frozen and keep warm button controls with a cancel button. Easy to keep clean. Liked it so well I gave some as gifts.

Cons: I have read other reviewers tell of marks that appear on the sides after use and a few complaints it failed fast but not my experience. It has a lot of stainless steel but also a band of plastic around the base. If you don't touch the SS you can keep it new looking for a long time. I just touch the base and mine looks almost new.

Overall Review: I really can't believe I am reviewing a toaster but hey. I have had a lot of them and this one is good. I hate it when I find a good product only to see the company abandon it. Oster no longer lists this model on it's site but does list a four slice Inspire.

Looked like a good router

D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: Highly configurable with a good firewall so you can lock it down easily. Comes with a typical wizard so the less technical can likely set it up for general use without drama. Phone support available and they actually answered the phone.

Cons: The one I bought refuses to give out IP's. At first I had to use some tricks to even get to the net including hard coding even the routers IP in the DNS server ethernet card config. Comes with a typical wizard so the less technical can likely set it up for general use without drama that gets in the way. Support only answers the phone once. Forget a second call. My call dropped because my phone is tied in to the router and the reboot killed my call. The second call was not allowed and I bought this less than a month ago. Support under the impression a firmware update will fix a major function failure.

Overall Review: You pays your money and you takes your chances. Because this device won't hand out IP's I no longer have a voip phone that works so will have to put the old also unreliable router back in service. Tech support not thoroughly knowledgeable and should be if that is their gig. Ambivalent about Dlink now.

Great Idea!

CORSAIR Flash Voyager 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) CMFUSB2.0-2GB
CORSAIR Flash Voyager 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) CMFUSB2.0-2GB

Pros: A great flash drive that is encased in a rubbery jacket for protection. Of course it comes with legacy drivers and good encryption software. Fast transfer rates and the stated protection from drops make this a flash drive I can love.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Watch what you do with the cap and odds are you won't loose it and quit your whining. So far this has been the best Flash drive I have gotten or should I say two in a minute.
