pretty good

SCEPTRE X20WC-Gamer Black 20.1" 5ms Widescreen Glare HD (HDCP) LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 800:1, US Warranty
SCEPTRE X20WC-Gamer Black 20.1" 5ms Widescreen Glare HD (HDCP) LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 800:1, US Warranty

Pros: Nice monitor. It's what you would expect it to be. no dead pixels. picture is sharp and clear. Very good deal for the price. Mine doesn't shake

Cons: None really. For the price, you just can't beat it

Overall Review: Some people have been stating that the monitor stand is not that great and tends to shake the monitor. I have done everything I could to get the monitor the shake around it has not done so. Tried rattling my desk, and it pretty much did what any LCD or CRT monitor would do.

Most Critical Review
TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | Plug and Play | Metal | Desktop/Rackmount | Fanless(TL-SG1016D)
TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | Plug and Play | Metal | Desktop/Rackmount | Fanless(TL-SG1016D)

Pros: What you basically have is a low cost affordable switch.

Cons: not reliable in my opinion. Lasted 1 year.

Overall Review: At about 1 year of ownership, half the ports on one side died out. several days after, the other side died out. no surges happened during that time. product is kept in a climate controlled server room. replacing tp-link switch with a different brand, same features, a little more expensive, but I hope it will have more longevity in the long run. Even if I am able to RMA this product, I'm not sure it's even worth my time. If something goes out, I need it replaced that day. I don't think I can rely on it if I had to install it at another office knowing it will fail in a short time span. At least it lasted one year.. I guess that's worth 1 egg... scrambled.

Pros: It was free with another purchase. Small. easy to use. pretty straight forward.

Cons: Since it was free, the only use I wanted from this was to use as a repeater. At first, it seemed to work but after a period of time it started to fail. It got to the point where it wouldn't even connect to the network. I tried resetting it with no success.

Overall Review: The only thing I tested this was to use it's repeating function. I never bothered messing with it for any other purpose. Everything else may work fine with the device I have, but I have no reason to bother with it. 1 egg because one feature it has is that you can use it as a repeater. Since I can't use it as that and every other feature is pointless for me, then it would have been a useless device for me to buy. If I could careless about it being a repeater and everything else would work, I may give it 3-5 eggs. But I would have never tested it as a repeater.

It does it's job... for office use

ATOP Decorative AT-AP101-RD Red SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Affordable case for those that need to save a few extra dollars. It does the job if you are building a home/office computer.

Cons: I think the vent holes are big, but could be wrong. Could cause dust problems later on. No rubber feet pads included(could cause the case to slide).

Overall Review: If you plan on buying a decent size motherboard(ones around the 12"x10" range), I suggest NOT using this motherboard. It will fit, but it will come close the drive bays and may cause issues. This is not a con, it's just the dimensions of the case. Also, if you plan on buying affordable cases like these, you have to expect the typical flimsy case. Which I do not think it's a con either... If it was not flimsy, you would be paying more money. They are flimsy to build, but seem solid when it's all together.

It's alright

Antec PERFORMANCE TX TX1050B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
Antec PERFORMANCE TX TX1050B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pros: It's a sturdy case that will get the job done. Quiet running. Will add more quiet fans in a couple weeks.

Cons: Poor exterior design. As with most everyone, I tied to take it out with care, but my door was already roke. The grills on the side and rear could have been smaller or have a filter.

Overall Review: Not bad of a case, but Antec could have done a better job. If I bought it locally, I could have seen myself taking the case back again and again because of the door. It's not worth the RMA for a broken door.

Not worth it

Linkworld 435-13 C2228 Black/ Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply
Linkworld 435-13 C2228 Black/ Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply

Pros: A 430W power.

Cons: Very flimsy. pop rivets break off easily. In fact, please check and make sure that no pop rivets are already broken off. I found 2 of them improperly attached and they were freely inside the case.

Overall Review: Better off spending a few extra dollars for a better design, safer case.
