Most Favorable Review

Not what was advertized but what i wanted!

IPCQUEEN IPC-12025 Case Fan
IPCQUEEN IPC-12025 Case Fan

Pros: Just what i wanted, a very quiet low rpm fan. If thats what you want this is a great cheap product. Can not hear it with my head in the case! I went by reviews and not the item details and was not let down by Neweggers?!

Cons: If you want the 80cfm fan described here you will not get it.

Overall Review: Its a re badged coolermaster A 12025-12cb. Good fan though.

Most Critical Review

Many problems.

COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply
COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply

Pros: Looks nice, heavy and has a really nice pair of heat sinks inside for this price range.

Cons: Well, I have owned the black version of this supply for a long time now. The first thing to go was the fan after about 5 months. While replacing the fan I located a short and soldered it back. Now 5 months more and it started making a VERY loud high pitched tone. The last noise it made was the ping of it bouncing off my metal trashcan outside.

Overall Review: The internal wiring is very thin, but overall build is good for this price range.

Cool little gadget.

Rosewill RFHD-80BL Hard Drive Cooling 80mm Aluminum Fan
Rosewill RFHD-80BL Hard Drive Cooling 80mm Aluminum Fan

Pros: It does cool my hard drive. It looks cool.

Cons: Does not fit into an Antec Lanboy case, not a biggie because its an easy fix.

Overall Review: I had to use zip ties to lock it into place. If you thread it through the holes where screws would go you can not see the tie and will seat nicely.

Wow.

Pros: Running crysis maxed on a E8400 with 2G. Eats my games and loves it. The new AA features are nice. The real reason I got this was the heat sink. To me it was worth the little extra to get this and have it idle at 40c and max out at 52c.

Cons: Only has one cust. award? This thing needs much more!

Overall Review: This heat sink is a deal breaker. Love it!

Great

Link Depot SCW-10-BU Blue Aluminum screw
Link Depot SCW-10-BU Blue Aluminum screw

Pros: Threads great! Strong color!

Cons: I should have bought at least five more packs.

Overall Review: Many people talk about the color wearing off but i use some of them every other day and no problems!

It Works!

Cooler Master eXtreme RP-500-PCAR 500 W ATX12V V2.01 Power Supply
Cooler Master eXtreme RP-500-PCAR 500 W ATX12V V2.01 Power Supply

Pros: Good power at the right price, has all the connectors that I need. Had it a good while now.

Cons: It got a 4/5 because before I could sleep with my computer on in my room I had to replace the fan!

Overall Review: Internal wiring is good but the heat sinks are very small and there design has no fins, just a block of pot metal with a few L's for good measure. So far no heat problems.
