Newegg had a sale on acer 24" monitors for $110.so,I bought two. Also bought a quad monitor stand and installed them this morning after work. Also got a great deal on a double sight ds-70u USB monitor. The 24s are connected to the mini with hdmi and mini display to dvi and the ds-70,the 20 inch hp is connected to my Ubuntu server and the 19" dell,nothing yet. This weekend I'm building a new desk and clearly I need cable management which will be taken care of. This was a temp setup because basically I get impatient when toys come in.

I won't buy anything from Newegg again after they sent me 4 bad SSD's in a row and wouldn't take them back or give a refund!  Their customer service isn't any good either, while they have a presence on Twitter that claims to help with problems they only tell you to email them and when you do they tell you to get lost!  After I complained on Twitter several times they got my account suspended!  I wanted to write their CEO and complain but his email address seems to be secret.  I won't buy any OCZ SSD's again either since all of them are either DOA or go bad right away and OCZ won't stand behind their products either!

I can see your frustration and you're not the only on saying that as reviews on product pages mention the same thing some times. My thing is of all the stuff I've bought from them,never had an issue. I also see most of the "Newegg sucks" reviews are for crappy products and people don't know their policy,which is listed in several places. They also seem to have incorrect expectations like a cpu is supposed to power their cell phone. And they don't research things. If you buy the cheapest whatever, don't expect it to be ferrari like performance when it's a bike. What ocz model did you get? I've seen bad->horrible reviews on most of their ssds. More so older models(1+ years )

I originally got 2 OCZ 30Gb SSD's from Newegg because I was trying out different versions of Linux and that size is cheapest and handy to load it on. One worked at first but the other was dead right out of the package.  I sent it back for replacement and they send another one that only lasted one day, sent it back and got another that was dead, sent it back and got another bad one but they wouldn't take it back again since they said there was only a 60 day warranty and they had been stalling so long the 60 days ran out.  Odd thing is that even though they were in the heavy plastic package that is hard to cut open one had a wrinkled up label that looked like it had overheated and another one had an old piece of masking tape stuck to the side!  I checked the support forum on OCZ and found that lots of people were complaining about dead drives but OCZ won't replace or repair them.  OCZ must either be sending them to Newegg to dispose of or else Newegg employees are going out behind the OCZ factory and dumpster diving to get them out of the trash!  I even talked to the OCZ product manager and he refused to do anything about it.

Some people said to try the forums for help but they won't replace a bad SSD and one wise guy suggested that I wasn't installing them properly but since they just plug into the laptop there is no installation.  I figure that any honest company would start looking into the problem after the second bad one instead of continuing to send you more bad ones until the warranty ran out and not get your Twitter account suspended when you complain about it so Newegg must be nothing but crooks!  They eventually stalled so long that the second one also went bad so now both are useless!
