So I ordered something off newegg about week ago so I can get an older computer up an running for someone. It was a Koutech IO-ASA110 IDE to SATA Device Adapter. It allows you to connect a SATA drive to an older computer that only supports IDE.
The item I received was not sealed at all. the box is completely different than the picture on the site and the sticker on the device is also different. The problem is that it did not come with the power cable. I sent an email to newegg but still no reply so far.

I have never ordered anything from newegg, is this normal for the boxes to be different? Will they send me a power cable or am I screwed?

Is Newegg usually this unreliable? :/

They are usually a go to place for computer parts. I'm surprised something like this happened.

Yeah me too. I was planning to buy all the part for a PC im going to build from there but now I kinda got scared.

It really depends more on the supplier than NewEgg. They're usually pretty good about replacements or refunds if they end up selling you a shoddy product.

i've purchased over 35 items with newegg with a total value far over 3000 bucks. this is NOT normal, newegg is usually amazing with their quality prices and quick shipping. im actually appalled this happened.

Ok update.

After a few emails Newegg told me they did not have any extra cables in stock and that i need to go to the manufacture. just got my reply from them after a few days and they pretty much told me i was going to have to pay for it

. I sent them a reply about how i shouldn't have to since it was meant to be in the box and that on Newegg it says there is a 30 days warranty for parts. lets see how it turns out.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
