Most Critical Review

Rebate scam

EVGA 896-P3-1262-AR GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 896-P3-1262-AR GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Card is great

Cons: Rebate system is a scam!!! I am not alone on this issue, others have had it. the rebate company they use just deny you for no reason. ahhh, theres only ONE UPC on the box which has the serial number on it. how did I not send the right one when thats the ONLY ONE THERE!!!

Overall Review: Infuriating!!! I wont be buying eVga again!!!

Excellent card, best bang for the buck!!

EVGA 012-P3-2066-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores FTW 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 012-P3-2066-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores FTW 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: this is almost exactly the same as the other evga 560 448 core "012-P3-2068-KR Classified edition." The main differences are that it has a singe fan, less showy cooling solution (kept my card at 55 under load so it works great and was quiet) and lacks the 8 pin power connector. this card has 2x 6 pin connectors. what those extra two pins gets you I dont know but it doesnt actually do anything for you in the real world. if you want to brag about how many pins your video card connector has I guess it would be a problem..? Its $10 cheaper then the other version to make up for this.

Cons: Confusing as to real differences between the two cards.

Overall Review: If you want 570 performance for cheap, then its a no brainer!

Horrible experience with this board

ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Has lots of options on the board, if it works then its great. I wouldnt roll the dice on this thing tho

Cons: where do I start... first board worked fine. RMAed it for chipset bug issue. second board died in the middle of using it after 2 weeks. third board took over a week for asus to ship to me after doing an 'advanced' RMA, horrible communication. Third board posted but wouldnt see any hard drives. after reseating memory, board gave me memory errors. bought some more memory locally, still wouldnt work. cant RMA the 3rd board untill the second board is returned and 2nd level support couldnt make the process any faster.

Overall Review: 1st level support is inept and rude, I got someone who cut me off and when I called back and said I think we got cut off he hung up again! 2nd level support is just as rude and unflexable. Asus's rma process is horrible, zero communication skills. dont reply to emails. tell you to fill out forms yet dont send any forms attached. wont give refunds on any products. I will never purchase another asus product after this experience. now im left with a $180 bill and have to wait another few weeks to get an rma, get a replacement board and then try to sell it. ARG!

Awesome!!

NETGEAR WNR3500-100NAR RangeMax Premium Wireless-N Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11n Draft

Pros: Shiny black! Gigabit! Wireless N! CHEAP! QoS!

Cons: didnt set itself up

Overall Review: Plugged it in, configured it, had it up and running in 20 minutes. mine came in its origional shrinkrap over the sides and front, its perfect! LED's are cool on top! I couldnt be happier!!!!

Good with some issues though

Pioneer VSX-918V-K 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver
Pioneer VSX-918V-K 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver

Pros: works great, sound is awesome, auto sound setup works like a charm! does PCM over HDMI so can stream HD audio from PS3.

Cons: developed audible annoying hum after a day of use. if you press on the top it would stop... newegg was good about it and DOAed it for me though, getting a replacement. Doesnt decode TrueHD.

Overall Review: cant figure out how to rename the LCD screen so it says HTPC instead of DVD. Newegg service is great as usual!!
