This is a review for a DVI-D cable...
Quote:
Pros: Its a nice cable if you only need digital.

Cons: It doesn't support analog connections as claimed only digital. Turns out thats what DVD-D means. It if supported both it would be DVD-I. It doesn't even have the analog pins.

Other Thoughts: I felt a DVI-I to VGA adpater added to much stress to the video card so rather than extending the VGA I wanted to extend the DVI. That way no adapter on the card. Obviously it didn't work.

Click the image to open in full size. Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: I know it is only the 320gig model but that paired with my 2 gigs of ram and my crosshair mother board it has been excellent no hiccups while playing bfg2142 at high levels and also the game dark messiah is beautifully rendered with this card it also adds detail to bf2 and runs fear in max great card with a little price compared to the 650 gig card direct x 10 ready so when i go to vista it will be cool

Cons:
none

Other Thoughts:
for the price you can't go wrong again newegg has been the low price leader




A somewhat high tech level? Only if he's high on drugs!

650Gig video cards? Think he meant the 640 Gig cards? ROFLMAO! 320Gig cards? On a Crosshair board huh?

This dude should be shot. Twice. Through each eye. And then be forced to listen to Yuri talk about Linux.

Oh, and punctuation is our friend. Said friend being curiously absent from this review.

That last one is a true gem!

Yuri talk about Linux? Too nice. I can think of some others who could punish FAR more than that!

Now I've got to go hunt some reviews......you just KNOW there's more goodness out there!

And if you really want to bleed, try reading Ebay descriptions of PC equipment - crying is always involved!

Ain't that the damned truth! Reading Ebay descriptions about computer hardware will drive anyone half crazy.

I shed a few tears on this one

Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800
Pros: Best Intel I've Ever used, even at base line it's still acceptable.
Cons:
I killed it...
Other Thoughts:
I Recently Upgraded from this to the AMD Quad FX platform. I tried for a little while to sell it and my modded Asus mobo, but no one would take it so I figured, what the heck, lets see what it's made of. So I rigged up a system, and got everything going, time to over clock where no CPU has gone Before. Since my mobo is modded to allow limitless overclocking possibilities, I went ahead and pushed it all the way to 10ghz. It ran fine for about ten minutes before things started to fry and melt and eventually explode. If you have the means to do so, it'll do almost anything you could ever want it to.

Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 Conroe 2.93GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail



Same thing proc.

---------

Pros: Just like they say it's THE BEST out there right now ! Awesome!
Cons:
I'ts BIG so you might need a full tower to install it ..I have one and its a tight fit ...
Other Thoughts:
45 days ago I bought a 32" flat screen (HYUNDAI) The remote stopped working and they wanted me to pay $58.00 for a new one..Didn't do it and found out it was the remote sensor in the tv.They won't help me with it..Their Customer service is the worst I've ever had to deal with and I can't give the web site but this company has 339 bad reviews on their customer service My advice is to check out the other fine Products that Newegg offers..Like always nobody beats newegg on prices or customer service 0 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? no - no

OMG - that is one of the worst ever. 10 GHz for ten minutes - I'm not buying it!

Upgrading to Quad FX - I like that too.......

If he did it should be taken from him and replaced with a Sega Master System - this clown isn't qualified for anything else!

So today I was bored at work...and I thought hey, why not try to find a bad review for the forums.....and it took 2 seconds.

Check out this review for a Thermaltake HSF.

Click the image to open in full size. Reviewed By: Rowdy on 4/5/2007 Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size. Click the image to open in full size. Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Looks Awesome--fan speed controller--fits in full tower case just fine--easy instalation.
Cons: Can't change the orientation of the cooler only mounts one way---would not work with my Gigabyte g59-sli 5s motherboard because it blocked the #1 Dimm slot
Other Thoughts: I cant say that this is a great product because i have not actually tried it,but all reviews ive read say its the real deal,if i get it work ill repost an updated review

His other "thoughts" pushed me over the edge - why the $@#&* is this guy reviewing a product with his only "research" THE OTHER REVIEWS?

After you shoot this guy at sunrise, pick up the body and shoot it again. I hope he hasn't managed to reproduce.....
