Cheap & It Works

Nippon Labs MINIUSB-10 10 ft. USB 2.0 Type A Male to USB Type B Adapter Male Cable, Black
Nippon Labs MINIUSB-10 10 ft. USB 2.0 Type A Male to USB Type B Adapter Male Cable, Black

Pros: I needed a longer cable for my Canon LIDE scanner. I was shocked at how expensive a plain USB cable was at my local retailer. $30+ This cable worked like a charm.

Cons: Cheap packaging - cable stuffed in a clear plastic bag and labeled with a sticky label. Normally it does not matter to me. But the 1st set of cables that I received was not a miniusb even though it was labeled miniusb. So it appeared that the labels were applied incorrectly. I had to do a RMA and paid for the returned postage. It was a little aggravating but the second set from Newegg was fine. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.

GOgroove FlexSMART X3 Bluetooth FM Transmitter Car Kit with Hands-free Calling, Audio Playback and USB Charging - Works with Apple, Samsung, HTC and More Smartphones, Tablets & MP3 Players

Pros: Simple. Easy to Use Sound Used for Music Very Good

Cons: The input mike for the call is weak. You have to yell in order for the the other party to used it. This device malfunctioned with the release of iOS 9. It does not link to my iphone 5S or 6 either auto or manual modes. Checked website - this is a known flaw. Chat with support and received a replacement. Took them a MONTH to send me a new one. Hopefully, new one works.

An Must Have Autio Accessory!

MAXMADE 11000mAh Dual USB Power Bank/Car Jump Starter, 400A-Peak-Current LiFe PO4 Battery - Up to 15 Ignition Times at Full Charge
MAXMADE 11000mAh Dual USB Power Bank/Car Jump Starter, 400A-Peak-Current LiFe PO4 Battery - Up to 15 Ignition Times at Full Charge

Pros: It works and it is probably the cheapest option out there. It also acts as a charger your your phone via the USB plug in an extreme emergency.

Cons: It does take a bit of time to charge but that is expected.

Overall Review: I am an auto enthusiast. This is a must have. Normally a dead battery is a major inconvenience. You can proactively change your car battery before it dies or you can have one of these in your trunk. My car battery died recently. I took this out of my trunk and made sure that there were at least 3 light power indicators (as per instructions) I hooked it up to my dead batter and wow! The car started effortlessly. Get one..you won't regret it. Never get stranded again.

Speedy Upgrade

Crucial BX100 2.5" 250GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT250BX100SSD1

Pros: This sure is fast compared to the old hard drive in the aging laptop.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Wow. I revived an aging laptop, Acer timelinex 4830tg that was taking 2 minutes to boot in windows 7. After I installed this SSD, boot time was within 15 seconds to login screen. This fit in the old hard drive compartment. SInce I had the laptop open, I removed DVD Rom and also put in a 60 GB SSD that I had lying around. So now this laptop has 250 GB + 60 GB which should be sufficient. The laptop is much more snappy. I also put the DVD Rom in a portable case for the rare time that it is required. All in all a fun project that was well worth the effort.

Cheap & Quiet

APEVIA CF7025S 70mm Case Fan

Pros: Cheap & Quiet Fan. Fits my Tivo 2 PVR.

Cons: None what so ever.

Overall Review: I was looking for a replacement for a noisy failing fan in my TiVO series 2. But I did not want to pay $20 on some of the internet sites. This one fits like a charm. Note there are 2 sizes of fans depending on whether the fan cover on the TIVO case is beveled or not. Mine has a bevel. Also, the TIVO has 2 wire plug in. This one has 3 wires but it still works. You may need to trial and error and see which 2 of the 3 prongs will work in you TIVO.

Replaced My Logitech 880

Logitech Recertified 915-000224 Harmony Ultimate One IR Remote with Customizable Touch Screen Control
Logitech Recertified 915-000224 Harmony Ultimate One IR Remote with Customizable Touch Screen Control

Pros: Got this refurnished at half the price of a new one. Lots of customizable features as we expect from Logitech. I was able to copy the settings from my old Logitech 880. So I did not have to start from scratch. With a bit of research, you can customize this remote many ways..

Cons: My first one was defective. It would not charge out of the box. I had to RMA and got a new one. Newegg was kind enough to send me a prepaid shipping label. The second one worked flawlessly. It took awhile to set up even with the 880 settings imported. The import was not 100% perfect.

Overall Review: I bought this tho replace my 10 year old Logitech 880 whose buttons were about to fail. Like all new devices, it will take you a while to get use to the buttons, especially the touch screen. For those of you who have old Logitech remotes and have not bought a new one recently, please take note. The old remotes are set up using their website. The newer remotes require you to download a software, from which you can use to set up. But the Logitech folks have made sure that the 2 methods are integrated. So you can import settings from your old remote to your new one without having to start from scratch.

Horrible Experience

Beware. Read the other feedback. Lots of issues with this seller. My order was quite simple. A charge cable for my iphone 5. They ended up sending me a microusb cable instead. Now I have to get a RMA. I can only imagine what kind of mess my order is if it is complex with multiple items. I cannot believe that Newegg would continue its relationship with this 3rd party. It will affect Newegg in the long run.
