Most Favorable Review

My Window Index rating jumped from 5.9 to 7.7

Plextor PX-M2 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PX-128M2S
Plextor PX-M2 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PX-128M2S

Pros: On sale, Plug and play, O/S loads very fast, Disk data transfer rate jumped alot!

Cons: High cost. Wanted more hard drive but had to settle for this, Glad I did.

Overall Review: I was always trying to improve my windows index rating. I was running raid array with (3) 10k 300GB VelosiRaptors and was only getting a Disk tranfer rate of 5.9, I am now at 7.7 out of a possible 7.9, I loaded my O/S onto this and run a 1TB hard drive for most other stuff. This is the way of the future. When these jump to 1TB I will upgrade.

Most Critical Review

DOA, POOR customer support

HP EliteBook 14.0" Intel Core i5-2450M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit 8460p (LJ540UT#ABA)
HP EliteBook 14.0" Intel Core i5-2450M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit 8460p (LJ540UT#ABA)

Pros: HP support

Cons: I just spent 1 hour listing all my pros and cons, I must be having a bad day, I clicked submit and it all disappeared. Short story is that I sent this back to newegg with a RMA and they tested it and sent it back and said to contact HP support. They need to test their people!

Overall Review: I was getting a blue screen, and when I got it back from newegg I still had a blue screen. Walmart has a better return policy than that! I am deleting my newegg account!

Awesome Deal!

Pros: I got this for my daughter, who has only used an I Pad. She loves it! I told her it was only a starter computer. Well this has got her started. Right out of the box this laptop had very little wear. It has a long battery life and was easy to setup. I am giving this 5 eggs, I wanted one for myself. I have been chained to a desktop forever.

Cons: Well if I must. I noticed on the bottom there are 2 user licenses, one for winXP and the other for win7pro, not a problem though.

Overall Review: Well for 200 bucks you cannot go wrong! This is the best deal out there. Most people want to nit-pic and complain, I just want you to know this laptop is better then some newer brands are! Even my daughter said even the keys type better than the more expensive acer that she has used.

What's the 3.0 USB M/B port for?

Pros: Awsome plug and play board! No hicups yet.

Cons: Why do they make this board with an internal 3.0 usb connector? I found one plug that will work on it from China, and there is no room for it cause of the Graphics cards. Also it claims to have 4 internal 2.0 USB ports. There are only 2. My case has 4 USB ports on the front of it that connects to the 2 ports on the M/B leaving me with no choice but to trash a card reader I have for one with a 3.0 external usb plug. I have to go out the back of the case to plug into the 3.0 external port on the back. Oh ya, the Daemon Pro Tools cannot be upgraded without money. And to get some disk images to copy you will have to purchase a seperate program.

Overall Review: I have only bought asus boards, despite my little problems I still give this 5 eggs.

This is one Sharp Bad *** looking case!

CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller and LED Light Switch

Pros: Free Shipping! Thats a good place to start. The handles on top of the case make it extremely easy to move around. The guy before me said it all, Thumbs up! It's hard to find any cases with the removable dust filters, This one has em. The card slots have nice inovative clips that work very well.

Cons: The filters are not bonified, only the front one comes off easy. I was looking for a tower that had clips to hold the side panel on, but after much thought abd reserch had to settle for this, glad I did. I missed the $20 rebate, so I paid a bit more then the other guy, no complaints though.

Overall Review: My other case is a HAF coolermaster, and this one puts it to rest. Buy this while they still make it!
