Been working in the tech industry for roughly 20 years or so. I've built my first desktop after buying a prebuilt. Just recently I've worked with watercooling and found out I love it.

Mediasonic Probox

Mediasonic ProBox K32-SU3 3.5" Black SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 SuperSpeed SATA HDD External Enclosure
Mediasonic ProBox K32-SU3 3.5" Black SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 SuperSpeed SATA HDD External Enclosure

Pros: Removed old Falcon drive from enclosure and placed in this enclosure. Worked just fine and added USB 3.0 capability. USB 3.0 enclosure accesses data alot faster than when it was in the other enclosure.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Could have included a sata port, but with USB 3.0 being the staple now probably not an issue.

Great Starter Kit

Liquid.cool Vortex One Advanced DIY 240mm Water Cooling Kit
Liquid.cool Vortex One Advanced DIY 240mm Water Cooling Kit

Pros: Kit includes most of everything to get a person started into water cooling. My kit worked great for my purpose. My water maintains a temperature of about 34 degrees. My build is a little warm though. AMD 3800x, 16 gb geil lucie ram 3000, 5700xt, msi mpg x570

Cons: The only thing that could have been better is that there is no way create a drain port so that has to be bought. Then you have to plan for it.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone that wants to do get a first introduction into DIY water cooling. I also purchased a waterblock for my graphics card and added another radiator to the mix. The UV does work as well. I used green because I really wanted the TGRI ooze from the ninja turtles.

Lenovo G505s

Lenovo Laptop AMD A10-5750M 6GB Memory 1TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8650G 15.6" Non-Touch Screen Windows 8 G505s (59373010)

Pros: Decently sized laptop, did the bios update right from the start and it has worked fine ever since. Windows 8 takes some getting used to but I found that it is pretty decent. Not quite as bad as other people have put it off to be. Tried desperately to load Ubuntu onto here and kept running into issues. Found out moving the usb to uefi did the trick and finally was able to do what I wanted to do.

Cons: Hard Drive is pretty slow, but really if your used to a slow computer it's not bad. Eventually plan on upgrading to an SSD of decent size, probably 240 GB, and using a dvd slot to hdd converter for the terabyte seeing as i don't really use the cd drive.

Overall Review: Skyrim plays on this computer like no ones business. Didn't install any more ram than what was in there and it has played like butter since i installed the game.

M325 Mouse

Logitech M325 RF Wireless Optical 1000dpi Mouse, Black, 910-002974
Logitech M325 RF Wireless Optical 1000dpi Mouse, Black, 910-002974

Pros: This mouse glides smooth acrossed whatever surface you put it on. I have had no issues trying to get it to work with my system. Fits well in the palm of my hand. Compared to the old Gear Head mouse I had its wonderful.

Cons: The mouse scroller doesn't click, not really a con but some people may not like it. It is slightly smaller than others.

Overall Review: Perhaps just being picky, but encorporating forward and back buttons on the mouse.

Awesome Storage

Pros: Massive amount of storage for the money

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Definitely an upgrade from where I was at with 2 250gb hard drives. i3 2130 OCZ Vertex 3 120 gb ssd This hard drive as a data drive HIS ATI Radeon HD7850 Rosewill 650W Power Supply LG Blueray Burner

3 TB drive

This was a great purchase and the hard drives arrived in great time. I've tested both of the drives which I bought to boost the space on my children's desktop's and both have worked remarkably. Average transfer rates for the drives were around 120 or so. We were moving all their steam games to the hard drive. Worked without issues and you couldn't even tell the drives were working they were so quiet.

Great Starter Kit

This kit came with everything i needed for watercooling. If there was anything more I would have asked for it would be a 4 way or 2 way splitter for the water so you can have a drain and a drain valve. I personally didn't use the little spinner thing but because I also added a GPU block for watercooling as well. The pump was definitely able to handle both adding the GPU block and another 240 mm radiator with no problems. Would definitely order again. It fit my new ryzen processor with no problems.

Kingston 32 GB USB 3.0

I have both these and the USB 2.0 version. These are a little longer and have transfer speeds that are about and extra 3 or so megabyte per second. Really, in all, I was unimpressed with the transfer rate. I thought it would be higher being usb 3.0. I've had 3.0 hard drives that had transfers speeds in the 100 megabyte per second mark. This was only able to reach about 16 at max. I would probably purchase again because of the low profile, but it's not the best.
