Most Favorable Review

Quiet Cooling

Dynatron BT-SB80SBK 80mm Adjustable Slot Cooling Fan
Dynatron BT-SB80SBK 80mm Adjustable Slot Cooling Fan

Pros: Board temps dropped 7 degrees after putting it next to my passively cooled Gigabyte video card. At 2/3 speed, it is essentially silent can't be heard above my PSU fan.

Cons: It's a bit thick. I would not put a TV tuner card behind it due to lack of airflow. The wire is also kinda short.

Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone who wants easy cooling and doesn't want to mount a case fan.

Most Critical Review

You get what you pay for

LG HBM-260 Black Bluetooth Headset
LG HBM-260 Black Bluetooth Headset

Pros: It's cheap, and has decent range

Cons: It does not pick up voice very well. I have to practically shout to have a conversation. The ear piece is also uncomfortable. I can't wear it for more than a half hour without feeling pain.

Overall Review: Sorry Newegg, this one is a fail.

Slick but not very useful

Acer Aspire Intel Celeron 847  1.1GHz 2GB Memory  16GB SSD 11.6" Chromebook Chrome OS C710-2826
Acer Aspire Intel Celeron 847 1.1GHz 2GB Memory 16GB SSD 11.6" Chromebook Chrome OS C710-2826

Pros: Beautiful design, fast speed. Inexpensive option if all you do is browse the web.

Cons: Unfortunately, the lack of Microsoft Office and Skype compatibility makes the Chromebook not much different than a netbook. Google Docs is decent for basic functions, but it does not currently work well for work files in Office format. Google Hangout is a sorry excuse for a chat client. Frequent drops, echos, and poor quality calls means you will never want to depend on it to communicate with friends and family.

Stops working if horizontal

Pros: It's a standard pen that clicks, writes, with a comfortable silicone casing on the body.

Cons: If you do not keep it vertical, it will stop working. You can get it started with lot's of shaking and scribbling, but why bother!

Works but loud

Vantec Spectrum Fan Card with Dual 70mm Adjustable UV LED Fans - Model SP-FC70-BL
Vantec Spectrum Fan Card with Dual 70mm Adjustable UV LED Fans - Model SP-FC70-BL

Pros: Nice light, pumps a good amount of air

Cons: Loud. On the lowest setting, it's still very noticible. Not ideal for my HTPC or any environment where you need quiet.

Overall Review: I'm going back to the Dynatron BT-SB80SBK as soon as this one dies. Even though the Dynatron is bulky and only lasts 9 months, it will work in near silence up to 1/3 throughput.

Decent but short lived

Dynatron BT-SB80SBK 80mm Adjustable Slot Cooling Fan

Pros: Pumps a lot of air.

Cons: At full speed, it starts to sounds like a hair dryer. You will only get 1/3 of the potential if you want a quiet machine.

Overall Review: One year into it's life, it starts to rattle at startup and takes 2 minutes to stop.
