Most Critical Review

First set bad, 2nd set good

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D

Pros: Fast Affordable

Cons: Quality control issues? No recall notice

Overall Review: The first pair I ordered (in 2009) caused my system to randomly freeze. After replacing every single component in my computer, to include the CPU, motherboard, power supply and even the case, the memory chips were the last thing I expected to be the problem. When I contacted Crucial they asked me for the revision number on the sticks and immediately confirmed I had a pair that were part of bad production run. They sent me some new sticks (after I sent my old one's in) and my system has worked flawlessly since. I swear I registered these with the Crucial website but I guess I didn't. Nevertheless, a bulletin announcing the defective batch of memory that made it into the wild (and on newegg) should have been posted on the companies website.

No instructions on how to install on i9-10900K

Cooler Master MasterAir MA620M Dual Tower ARGB High Performance CPU Air Cooler, 6 CDC 2.0 Heatpipes, SF120R Fan, Hexagon Strip Addressable RGB Lighting for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master MasterAir MA620M Dual Tower ARGB High Performance CPU Air Cooler, 6 CDC 2.0 Heatpipes, SF120R Fan, Hexagon Strip Addressable RGB Lighting for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Colored lights for those of you w/ gaming cases Great finish on the actual cooler Feels like a premium product

Cons: Uses plastic bracket on underside of motherboard Uses plastic "tabs" to hold mounting pins in Doesn't provide instructions for installing on LGA 1200 processors

Overall Review: Both the user manual and online manual say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about LGA 1200 processors and how this cooler would mount to them. But the product listing clearly states it supports LGA 1200 CPU's... After some googling and asking questions, it turns out the installation process is the same for the 115X processors. How are we supposed to know that?? This is basic info that should/could be provided for a premium cooler.

Durable and affordable

Patriot Xporter XT Boost 32GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) PEF32GUSB
Patriot Xporter XT Boost 32GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) PEF32GUSB

Pros: Light Damage resistant Portable Reliable

Cons: Needs key chain attachment

Overall Review: I've had this for several years attached to my key chain and it hasn't fallen off since. After many formats, and boot from USB installations, this device has never failed me. Never had any bad sectors or problems for that matter. The only thing I would reccomend is to change the rubber key chain loop/hook to something more durable. Although mine has yet to break, this is the only weak point i've noticed with this otherwise wonderful product.

Awesome

Kingston HyperX 3K 2.5" 90GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/90G
Kingston HyperX 3K 2.5" 90GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/90G

Pros: Fast Quiet Affordable Craftsmanship It just works

Cons: Only 90GB - Fills up quick Kind of power hungry for laptop users

Overall Review: Upgraded the hard drive in my Macbook Pro (2006 model) laptop with this little guy and it "just worked". I work in the IT industry so it was super easy. Nevertheless, boot up times, heat and battery life have all benefited from this new addition. Prices are dropping on SSD's so if you can find this on sale, pick one up to make an older laptop keep up with the new ones :)

Great Monitors, except

LG W2353V-PF Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1 w/ Smart Package
LG W2353V-PF Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1 w/ Smart Package

Pros: Great price, lightweight, fast response time, HDMI input, vga and DVI inputs

Cons: No DVI cable or HDMI cable - Red LED lights on touch screen controls (clashes if you have blue LED lights in your tower/gaming rig). Curved monitor shaped makes it difficult/impossible to seamlessley place these next to a second monitor without a gap between the two

Overall Review: Great price, newegg ships super fast! No dead pixels, I'll keep these for a few years until 3D monitors come out
