Most Favorable Review

like the Woman you would marry...

AMD FX-6300 - FX-6000 Series Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD6300WMHKBOX
AMD FX-6300 - FX-6000 Series Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD6300WMHKBOX

Pros: Great Performance. Black Edition means Unlocked Multiplier = Overclocks easy as Pie. Sweetspot of core count; not too many/few. Runs cool under OC (with aftermarket cooling soljtions). Great Price/Value. Keeps AMD in game and Intel from Monopoly.

Cons: I am thinking..... will get back to you... Ok just one. The CPU heatsink/fan (for all but basic use) is like making a Marriage proposal to Kate Upton with a Diamond ring from Walmart. Totally inadequate and unreasonable for such a serious and quality proposal. AMD has recognized and adressed it with the "Wraith" editions but just get a quality cooler so its cool and the noise doesn't nag and grate at you like an ex wife 2 days before her check is due.

Overall Review: Got mine on sale under a hun dineros. How do you beat that? Yes intel offers flashier and better performers just like the hotties you might go date before marrying they are high maintenance requiring newer mobos/sockets/more expensive memory. They cost more and demand more with less loyalty. (i.e. changing sockets with every release etc.) yeah the top end perf. is nice but at what cost? AMD is like the woman you want to marry and bear your children for you. Dependable. Sensible. Thrifty. Cleans up good for entertaining or night out on the town wearing Eddie Bauer not Dolce'. Everything you want, nothing you don't. You can have it all WITH a paid in full Newegg Account. My "Baby".

Not bad.

Pros: Convenient and compact folding design and pouch. Decent sound quality for price.

Cons: Not as effective at blocking ambient and external noise as promoted. No personal experience with B ose, but I gather from using these that the old adage about getting what you pay for- is in play here. Non-Refundable item.

Overall Review: I won't ever buy anything from the Egg again that can't be returned for refund if I find it lacking. (Software Excepted)

Early review. So far so good, I mean VERY good. I

Pros: Convenience. Effectiveness. Quietness. Excellent value for the Price. Pet friendly! My dog attacks and barks at ourdyson upright, and my cats flee its near presence. They pay this no mind, or the cats follow it with curiosity.

Cons: Frequent dust bin dumping because it cleans so well. Confusing and hard to see remote that's not backlit.

Overall Review: I wasn't sure this would be effective compared to say my Dyson upright, especially with much of the house floors carpeted 2 indoor cats, and a dog; but it is. I vacuumed the whole house with the Dyson before I used this for the first time. Now to be fair, my Dyson doesn't go under the sofa, loveseat, or coffee table, but the amount of after-Dyson cleaning dirt this little guy picked up was AMAZING. I had to dump the cup and clean the roller brush a few times. My home is a single-story rambler, only 1250 sq ft. and this handles it just fine. I hope to figure out more settings and program it for automatic cleaning soon, but so far? It's definitely a keeper!

Good performer. Lite-On reputation for quality/performance.

Lite-On EBAU108 External DVD-Writer - Black

Pros: Hard to find a case I liked that had support for my Sata burner, so I gave up and bought this along with a case with no optical drive slot.This seems to work fine. A bit jet turbine-like when you are taxing it with say UBUNTU DVD install, etc. but it's for the occasional legacy use, or CD/DVD that might be read, or burned. I haven't burned with it yet, but expect it to work fine. NERO included software is just trial software, so I got some other freeware available apps to perform those duties.

Cons: Noisy. Only 2.0 USB cord and interface- vs. most competitors using USB 3.0 with much greater transfer rates.Short USB cable. I have to agree with others the cable is too short. Fortunately, my new case selected in my build is very low and it will reach close to the front using rear USB port, or it can sit flat if plugged into a front case USB port. But I think for most users LiteOn should add a few more inches in length to the cable.

Overall Review: A good value overall. Using only for file transfer, music CD's and DVD play so far, no burns, but functioning well.

Pretty good board, but support is not contemporaneous...

ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) Micro ATX Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, ECC Memory, 1Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1/D-Sub, 4K@60HZ, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)
ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) Micro ATX Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, ECC Memory, 1Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1/D-Sub, 4K@60HZ, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

Pros: Good feature set for the Micro ATX format. Great Wifi (only used wifi 5 (my Starlink internet system that's on order comes with wifi 6 router} so we'll see how that works out. Integrated BlueTooth works great. The board also has PCI-E 4, for GPU and M.2 drive interface with lightning-fast speeds. Lots of 3.0+ USB ports. Decent amount of Fan headers, RGB headers. Audio console took a long time to figure out final settings and adjustments, but once done my old analog Logitech 5.1 speakers pump out a nice clean sound. It seems stable, no "Ryzen". USB issues (latest updated bios)

Cons: Comes with a very limited and ineffective manual, I have built a couple dozen computer over the years, but I found it lacking, someone inexperienced might have a lot of trouble. There is no real help for bios settings, like which header for CPU radiator and pump? (FYI the CPU opt. is the Fan, CPU Fan is the pump.) The BIOS is not good. The easy mode is nothing more than basically an info page. The "advanced" is sophomoric at best. Limited in options and details, not intuitive or helpful for O'clocking to a Ryzen noobie like me. The Latest BIOS update (I wanted to avoid the USB issues and bugs widely reported on Ryzen 5 builds) bricked some features it seems. The Armory Crate application now doesn't recognize or "support" RGB accessories with AURA as advertised likely due to the fact that there are compatability lags with BIOS to appliction updates. I had a hard time putting features back like Audio Console, etc. rolling back some drivers so they would work. (Antec 4 Pin RGB fans) and GSKILL Trident Z RGB Memory. I also can't control my MSI Water CPU Cooler RGB thru the RGB header as it doesn't recognize it. Let's sum the BIOS up in a word. "Underwhelming". Also, 1Gbit ethernet vs. 2.5 on most competitive boards seems a bit short-sighted and frugal to me?

Overall Review: I would recommend it on anyone's short-list for a micro-atx build. Especially if you are not inclined to do overclocking, or just a limited o'clock at best. I think it has a good feature set, especially at the price-point, which attracted me over competing brands, but knowing the BIOS as it is, and my experience on my past few builds using M dragon boards, I would look them over before buying this one if you are into advanced settings/tuning setups, which would likely be a full ATX board anyway. I wanted the great features this offered in a smaller package though.My Build: ASUS PRIME B550M-A (WI-FI) - AMD Ryzen 5-3600- 16 GB DDR4 GSkill TridentZ 3200 RGB- MSI 240MM Water CPU Cooler- 1TB Sabrent M.2 pci-E 4.0 Rocket drive -1Corsair Crystal 280X Micro-ATX case (a fabulous Micro ATX case for this Mobo and Micro Build) - MSI GTX 1660ti Gaming X GPU

Works OK, just not the feature set I expected out of 970 Chipset experience

ASRock 970M Pro3 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + AMD SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Works fine, economical price, but not very good for over-clocking like other options. Definitely consider other boards for more flexibility, settings options, and tweaking.

Cons: Basic and not very feature blessed.

Overall Review: A good basic and solid board but not in the same class as my primary computer's MSI 970 G43 Plus board. GUI and overclocking/monitoring are rudimentary and non-intuitive.

WorldofWatches is right by me.

Wow, got a great watch, for about 1/8 of MSRP and it was on sale as a ShellShocker for half of what it's listed at now. It's a gorgeous watch, in the right box, definitely is genuine and I saved a bunch. My first experience with Marketplace and World of Watches after YEARS and YEARS as a Loyal Newegg Computer and Electronics Geek. What was a waiting for???? Definitely will do more business here and with WofWatches.
