Most Favorable Review

Great Idea

KINGWIN KF-4000-BK 3.5" Internal hot swap rack raid-4 bay
KINGWIN KF-4000-BK 3.5" Internal hot swap rack raid-4 bay

Pros: Four removable SATA HDD slots in 3 5.25 External Bays, NO Trays to screw HDD into

Cons: Could use larger Fans

Overall Review: I used this without raid. I always have harddrives as removeable, So I can install different operating systems or remove my good stuff to clean infected drives and not risk my data. I loved IcyXXXXX but this takes less space and NO trays.

Fits my One Plus 5 and is great design

TFY Universal Phone Sun Shade & Glare Visor Shield for 4.5 Inch to 5.5 Inch Smartphones - iPhone 8 / 8 Plus / 7 Plus - Samsung Galaxy S6 / S6 edge / S7

Pros: Charging ports and all other ports are exposed and usable when shield is on. Works great in bright sun when I put phone on dash holder.

Cons: None

Good ones

Good board, But

ASUS M3N78 PRO <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M3N78 PRO <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Works great with AMD 4850e cpu and Crucial ram. I have 1 problem and nothing but praise

Cons: When the power blinks, like someone down the road hits a pole, the bios jumper must be cycled to get it to work again. The boards with the AMD chips do not do this, just nvidea chips

Overall Review: I've been hoping for a bios upgrade fix but none yet

Verry Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASUS Xonar D2X 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
ASUS Xonar D2X 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: Using the Hi-Fi settings this card produces a crystal clear reproduction of music without coloring. Then there are plenty of effects you can play with

Cons: My fault, but it took me a while to find the Hi-Fi button

Overall Review: I have a friend with a recording studio, and this sounds close enough for me to his sound card and monitors that cost $1600 using the Asus Xonar D2X and my Klipsch 2.1 speakers my total $350

Indispensible

ICY DOCK 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Hot-Swap Mobile Rack for 5.25" Drive Bay - MB123SK-1B
ICY DOCK 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Hot-Swap Mobile Rack for 5.25" Drive Bay - MB123SK-1B

Pros: Have these on three computers, six in all. No failures in close to a year. I like to play OS musical chairs and try out different things. These make it easy to change drives in your computer and change the OS in seconds.

Cons: The 2 position switch doesn't shut drives off, must pull drives out a bit to disconnect. Not a real con just something to get used to.

Overall Review: This unit is the short verison, great for most cases.
