NETGEAR N300 Open-Source Gigabit WiFi Router 128MB NAND and 128MB RAM, 480 MHz MIPS 74K Processor (WNR3500Lv2)

Pros: Literally a very cool router. Seems to never get hot... Easy setup...

Cons: None so far...

Overall Review: Have had the router for over a month... Never had an issue... Currently use the router as an n-wifi and gigabit router... Fairly fast throughput for a gigabit router...

Most Critical Review

Want this to be known, rating on NEWEGG not the product

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: The motherboard is great if there is no physical damage done to the CPU slot before you get it...

Cons: If you get a motherboard that has damaged pins on the CPU socket and send it off for an RMA, you want get a replacement... You might get a 10% off your next motherboard if you respond in less than one day... If there is a bad CPU socket, they will say you damaged it regardless if it was damaged before you received it

Overall Review: I am seriously thinking of not shopping with Newegg again if my situation is not handled correctly... I have been purchasing from newegg for close to 20 years and I never had to return a motherboard... But the one time I do it because of a defective motherboard, the assumption is that I damaged the pins on the socket... I don't doubt that the majority of damaged pins on a CPU socket is caused by inexperienced builders... But I have built more than 300 PCs and have NEVER bent a pin because I am very meticulous in what I do

Nice MB for the price

ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel B75 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel B75 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Nice small form factor motherboard... Easy to setup 6Gb/s SATA connector's very nice plus

Cons: *Careful if you purchase: Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 with this MB... The onboard video is not compatible with this MB and you will have to have purchase a video card (Received this information from ASRock support) *Not very many slots for expansion, make sure you don't plan on adding a lot of cards before purchasing...

Overall Review: Wish there was a mention of the onboard video and the Ivy bridge processor...

Very nice device

Pros: Small, compact, inexpensive (but not cheap), and works

Cons: Troubleshooting tips could use some work. Had a few times I had to power it down and back up to get it work again, but not too many times.

Overall Review: Want to say I have been in IT for almost 20 years... and I was impressed with this device. I have a linksys wireless router that was originally set to WPA-personal with a key. And I bought this to connect my HD DVR from DTV to the Internet to access the On Demand channels. When I first connected it to the PC and followed the directions, it never really tells you if you are connected or if there is a problem. It either works or doesn't work. I entered my key in multiple times and even started pasting it and still couldn't get it to work. I changed my wifi security settings to WPA2 and tried again and it started working. If the troubleshooting guide actually had something that would help you troubleshoot, I would have given this 5 stars

Very Nice PS

Rosewill RX630-S-B 630W ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Connector's galore! Awesome deal I got from Newegg... $109.99 PS for $59.99. Thanks NewEgg!!! You guys are awesome. Blue light is a nice touch

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought this power supply because I currently have 5 HDs in my PC and I purchased the MSI N260GTX-T2D896 OC GeForce GTX 260 896MB and figured I needed to update my 550W PS for this nice 630W PS. My new video card needs 2x 6pin PCI Express connectors and fortunately this PS has the connectors I need

Awesome CARD!!!

MSI GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N260GTX-T2D896 OC

Pros: This has to be one of the best bang for my buck! Got it for $184.99 from Newegg. Fan is pretty quiet as well...

Cons: HUGE!!! As long as your case is big enough, it shouldn't matter. The card is 10.5" long. I had to remove my HD cage to get this to fit. But I ain't complaining.

Overall Review: Some people complained about not having 12V adapters that convert to 2x 6pin. Since the card comes with one. What they don't understand, if you have a decent PS, you don't need it. I also just bought a Rosewill RX630-S-B 630W from newegg as well and it comes with 1x6pin PCI Exppress and a 6+2pin PCI Express connectors. I didn't need to use the one I have. So don't listen to the complainers about that on this site. But do realize you need to make sure you have atleast 1x6pin PCI Express connector on your PS. Or you will need to purchase a converter somewhere.
