If we're gonna post something from Amazon, this one will always be the best:

Just check the reviews and pictures of the product "in use".

This is quite possibly the best Newegg review I've ever seen, from a kit of ridiculously expensive RAM here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ST0TP9337

It's not that expensive. It's 80% off right now, from its original $9999.00 price tag. Very cheap.
Here's a genius that bought a SAS drive and tried connecting it to his SATA controller.....

Here is one funny 1-star review:
"Perfect for playing GTA while driving:
I love the design of the overall product. I'm a truck driver by trade. So this product really helps out, i usually can't stop playing grand theft auto 4 when im using this while im driving. I love running over people in the game and then in real life. Unfortunatly that got me fired and sent to prision IM CALLING THE FCC"
WTF?! haha

I'm reviving this thread to bring you something not funny, but sad. An example of why you should always actually read a description before buying.
Saw this as a shell shocker: 2.5" external HDD
Only one 3 egg review.

That's pretty funny....and the reviewer gave themself a 3-star tech rating. Wonder what they consider a 5-star?
Taken from amazon's review of the pny 680

Check out this classic mobo review
Whenever I read reviews, I always come across a few that are completely catastrophic. You know the type, "I'm on my 9th RMA, this company sucks!" I guess it's possible that some of them are legitimate grievances, but I've come to realize that most of them are just complete idiots that broke their products with sheer stupidity, then wrote bad reviews despite having received perfectly fine products.
If you read reviews on any 2011 or 1151 motherboard, you will always encounter half a dozen people that claim they received a mobo with bent pins - when in fact the majority of those idiots bought incompatible chips and tried to force them into the socket, destroying both the chip and the mobo. When I was buying my mobo, I came across a perfect example of such an idiot. I'll copy and paste for convenience:

This review is from: MSI MSI Gaming Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Literally none.
Cons: I am writing this review for my girlfriend who just bought the bundle for this motherboard, case, power supply, CPU, and ram. All other components aside from this motherboard are quite good. However after I get everything together the monitor doesn't detect a signal. So after looking online for more directions, which are not helpful at all. Then called MSI support who helped narrow down the problem to bent motherboard CPU socket pins, and as soon as I took out everything sure enough, bent pins from the factory. This is really unacceptable, Intel uses their special socket just so you won't bend the pins on install. Never had this problem with AMD mobo/CPU combo. Anyway, because of the fact that the socket pins are bent I doubt newegg will even replace it. So now I have to pay someone to fix the pins cause I cannot manage that myself, and if that's the only thing wrong with it great! If not then I'll need to replace the whole blasted thing and I'll buy and AMD mobo and processor. Last time I ever buy Intel or MSI.
And then the very next review came from his girlfriend:

This review is from: MSI MSI Gaming Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This motherboard is fast. It's also easy to upgrade and quiet.
Cons: This motherboard is shipped from the factory with bent pins in the processor socket. It's easy to fix if you know what you're doing. If not, don't mess with it. I had to pay a computer guru to fix the pin problem, which was frustrating considering it's a brand new board.
This board also has compatibility issues. It doesn't fit 115x series processors although it SAYS 115x. It doesn't fit the 1150's but it does fit the 1151. I had to return the processor I bought originally and get an 1151. Thank goodness Newegg was great about the return. Unfortunately, I'm still out $50 to have a computer guy fix the bent pins.
Other Thoughts: I'd still recommend this board. Just Caveat emptor, concerning the issues.
hahaha.... boyfriend: "omg this mobo had bent pins. Intel sucks!" Girlfriend: "it turns out 1150 chips don't fit into 1151 sockets." They both gave 1-star reviews, and an MSI customer service rep responded with apologies. Sadly, idiots like these get refunds for the products they destroyed, which only drives up the prices for everyone else.
