I bought this last week after selling my very small (9") Asus eeePC 900 netbook on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~492762730116 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:40:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_492762730116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490968288900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - A month or so ago, my Asus eeePC 1000HE was stolen. I was pretty angry, and I didn't really feel like paying the 375 it would take to replace, but I still needed some sort of laptop, so I figured I might as well jump on a cheaper model as I wait for next... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490968288900 Sat, 7 Nov 2009 21:34:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490968288900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_463128530564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - Introduction After putting together my desktop last winter, I realized there was little point in keeping my old laptop, an Acer Aspire 5672. That model was designed to be a 'desktop replacement'. Although it was a good value at the time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~463128530564 Sun, 8 Mar 2009 02:07:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_463128530564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_303479099012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I'm a freshman at Penn State, and over the summer I had the task of choosing a laptop for myself. I'm writing this review because I noticed that this laptop doesn't have any real reviews on this site, and I think it should be on the list of anybody... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~303479099012 Mon, 8 Jan 2007 20:03:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_303479099012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223937007236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I bought this card last year in order to digitize some of my family's old videos. I got the card simply because it was the cheapest- 35 dollars or so from newegg.com; I don't remember whether it was a rebate deal or not. The first thing I noticed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223937007236 Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:37:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223937007236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223865704068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I bought this little bugger for 4 dollars at a school junk sale. I must say, it is what it is- there's very little difference between this and even today's top model, save for more space for your programs, a rechargeable battery, more space, and internet... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223865704068 Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:28:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223865704068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223718575748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I'm writing this review mainly for those of you who are buying this player second hand- I don't think you'll find this in many retail stores anymore, and I wouldn't recommend buying it new anyway (more on that later). I saved up for this player and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223718575748 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 14:00:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223718575748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223684300420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - This listing is mislabeled. It is not actually a calculator, it is a guide for using the TI-83 Plus for biology. From Amazon.com: "Texas Instruments (83PL/SB/1L1/2A) Texas Instruments, Inc. Workbook with focus on Biology.

First I would like to say that the most attractive part of newegg (aside from its prices) is the web page. Everything is laid out in a way that a geek can appreciate, and it lets you sort by the specifications of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223684103812 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 01:27:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223684103812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223683382916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I got this phone when my dad got Nextel's family plan about a year ago. We have 4 of these phones, so we've seen the best and worst of them. My absolute biggest concern with this phone is the battery life and service coverage. Battery life is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223683382916 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 01:17:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223683382916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191885643396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - This joystick is simply incredible. I have never encountered a smoother, more sensitive stick than this one. I'd have to say though, the software it came with- Thrustmapper, was of very little use to me, though it did seem like it could be useful to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191885643396 Sat, 18 Mar 2006 15:35:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191885643396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191040556676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - My experience with Staples Online Store- namely the "easy" rebate service- was pure hell. It took me hours on the phone with people that obviously didn't care to get 50 bucks worth of rebates back. Apparently the whole system was screwed up at that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191040556676 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 23:02:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191040556676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191040163460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - Bought this the day after thanksgiving at Staples for 40 or 50 dollars with a rebate. Some of these drives are repackaged BenQ drives, others not- my friend, who also bought one, says that his is different from mine. I guess, I don't see how it makes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191040163460 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 22:57:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191040163460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191023058564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I've had three of these drives die on me in the past 4 months. The first one died, taking all my files with it. The drive they sent to replace it- see if you can guess- died within the first week. It was a "reconditioned" drive. I'm thinking that WD just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191023058564 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 19:33:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191023058564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191022206596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - Before you go clicking 'not helpful', listen up. One of my best friends got this guitar as a christmas present a couple of years ago. All I can say when I pick it up and play it is that I absolutely hate it. It has an awful cheap feeling to it; the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191022206596 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 19:23:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191022206596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191019060868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - This amplifier is great for anyone looking for a really cheap practice amp. It has a decent sounding distortion, although I may be one of the few in this world that likes the standard issue Peavey overdrive sound. This amp is "TransTube"...believe me, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191019060868 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 18:55:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191019060868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191016046212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I first bought this mouse for my homebuilt system back in '03 or '04. It served me well until a couple of months ago when the scroll wheel abruptly stopped working. Took it back to staples for a return, and they were happy to accommodate me. The new... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191016046212 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 18:23:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191016046212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191015521924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - Got this monitor from my father's business, which was converting to LCD flat panels (why?). Oh well, my gain. I've had this monitor for about a year, and it's really been nice. I seem to have stumbled upon a luxury item; I was initially blown away by how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191015521924 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 18:15:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191015521924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190988717700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I got these for I think 5 dollars on a rebate deal at Staples. I use these with my I/O Magic DVD burner (actually a repackaged BenQ drive). What can I say, they work without a problem and I haven't had a coaster yet, and I burn at 16x even though the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190988717700 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 14:25:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190988717700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190984392324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - Where do I start... well I bought these from an amazon.com affiliate store. They arrived in time for Christmas, and I tried them for the first time on Christmas day. I tested them with the Incubus song Are You In?. They just about glistened with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190984392324 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 14:12:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190984392324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133939498628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radiov8 - I bought this keyboard for use with my homebuilt Athlon system. It has worked fine all the time I've used it. Doesn't have the cheap feel that most inexpensive keyboards have, and is very nice to use. The only gripes I have with this keyboard are that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133939498628 Sun, 21 Mar 2004 15:44:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133939498628?linkin_id=8003929
