Most Favorable Review

Best heat sink ever

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Great cooling. Easy installation.

Cons: I wish the instructions had some words, instead of pictures exclusively. It took me forever to understand that a bracket belongs underneath the motherboard; after that everything made sense and installation was easy.

Overall Review: Make sure your case is wide enough to accommodate such a tall heat sink.

Most Critical Review

Has no Windows drivers

HID DigitalPersona Crossmatch U.are.U DP 4500 Optical USB Fingerprint Reader (88003-001-S03)
HID DigitalPersona Crossmatch U.are.U DP 4500 Optical USB Fingerprint Reader (88003-001-S03)

Pros: I'm sure this thing will be terrific if the company ever decides to create a Windows 10 driver.

Cons: Works only with the vendor's enterprise software. No Windows drivers at all. This was confirmed by their tech support.

Overall Review: Returned.

Great product, easy to assemble

VANTEC NexStar TX 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure
VANTEC NexStar TX 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure

Pros: Solid, easy to assemble, even includes a small screwdriver.

Cons: The included USB cable was too short for my setup since my tower unit is a little far from my desk. May not be a problem for most users. But it's also necessary to be careful that your drive is actually connected to the electronics in the unit. If the drive seems too easy to slide into the unit, it probably isn't connected. Press down firmly on the front of the drive as you slide it into the unit's connectors or even lift up the back of the drive. You should have no problem after that.

Overall Review: Great unit with two little caveats.

Great product. Simple. No setup. No software.

Pros: Right out of thé box, it just works.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Highly recommended. I would certainly buy this product again.

Well built, solid, spacious, great value

Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic Compact ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic Compact ATX Mid Tower Case

Pros: I agree with other reviews that this is a terrific mid-tower case. Lots of room, easy cable organization, accommodates many drives and has great air flow. I don't do water cooling but it looks to me like it has good provision for that too. It ships with two 120 mm fans, one in the front and one in the rear. But I wanted to be clear about what fans can be added because I didn't see that in the specs and for some reason other reviewers have been getting it wrong. A total of 5 additional 120 or 140 mm fans can be added: two on top, one on the bottom, and two in the side panel.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This is a terrific case. Highly recommended.

Great unit, well built, solid.

Pros: I needed a PS that could handle a number of drives and peripherals. This 850W unit is superb. Modular and easy to install.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Highly recommended.

Perfect as advertised

On my Windows 10 desktop system I just plugged this unit into a USB port and it works impressively. It immediately recognized all nearby Wi-Fi networks and connected quickly with a password. Speeds are faster than I thought possible with Wi-Fi, though it's only about two feet from my router. I chose my wired connection as the default since I need Wi-Fi connectivity for this machine less often. When using the wired connection a little airplane (get it?) appears in my task tray. Perfect.
