Pros: (1) You gain SATA2 speeds for a relatively low price (2) No need to replace a motherboard (3) Easy to install (card itself)

Cons: (1) It is not PCI-X, it is simply a PCI (like on a picture) (2) Requires some additional work and knowledge of hardware when changing a bootable IDE HDD to a SATA HDD

Overall Review: I'm using it with the "Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive" that I also bought at NewEgg. The drive is set up to be bootable. I have one partition with Windows XP SP2 on it. So far it has been working flawlessly.

Pros: I was first very happy with this drive. It was the tiniest USB drive I've ever owned and I loved to carry it in my pocket since it was barely noticeable.

Cons: Two major cons: 1. Which is kinda a show stopper. The USB stick died after about a year of use. I was copying some files from a PC to a Mac, did all safe removal stuff. But then plugged it into Mac and ... nothing. Plugged it again... still nothing. So I went back to Windows, which saw the drive but when I double-clicked on it, Windows hung up for about 10 seconds and then the drive disappeared from My Computer. I tried reformatting it but it failed too. So now both my drive and the data on it are gone! The bottom line, this drive is very unreliable. 2. Second con is kinda non-important after the first one. The drive was always falling out of the USB ports. Well, because it was too tiny. Plus it was always a 50/50 chance of guessing which side to put it in :)

Pros: Good looking design. Pleasing to the eye. Solid build. I can literally sit on this tower when I was plugging all the cables in and it wouldn't buckle. Has some nice plugs on the front: x2 USB-2, x2 USB-3, the headphone and the mic. (But no USB-C!) Comes with a lot of screws, cables and standoffs. Has multiple HDD/SSD bays inside. Very easy to find space for an extra disk drive. It is raised off the floor, which is nice for the ventilation, esp. when it's sitting on the carpet. It comes with 3 fans on the front panel and one in the back. No need to purchase extra cooling fans.

Cons: The main beef I had with this tower is its clearance on the top. I needed to mount a Corsair Hydro H115i Pro water cooler radiator and two of its fans on the top of this tower and they didn't fit nicely with the motherboard, to the point that I had to seriously bend the CPU power cable that goes into the mobo and not use some screws on the fans. Additionally, the holes on the radiator didn't line up. So I had to drill them myself. Also, just an advice, do not plug the HDD LED cable for the power button on the top of the case. Otherwise it will light up like some sort of a strobe light. So if you don't turn off your PC at night, like I do, this thing will make your room look like a deadmau5 concert. So I had to unplug it the next day. There's not enough room (width wise) in the back to hide all the cables. I had to literally push down hard on the back lid to just have it closed. The screws are really easy to strip off. So be very gentle with them. It came with some screws and cables, but not enough for my motherboard. Especially with internal SATA cable. It had only x4. There's no USB-C plug on the front panel. It has x2 USB-2 and x2 USB-3 and the headphone and the mic plugs, but not USB-C. Why?

Overall Review: Overall, my mistake was to buy the Corsair Hydro H115i Pro water cooler instead of the NZXT one that every one was using. I would guess that if I did so, it would've fit better. It's a shame though that we're forced to do this!

Pros: Very solid performance. Especially in a single-threaded benchmark. Many people these days rush to get CPUs with multiple cores (the more the better!), cough "Threadripper", but what they fail to notice is that multiple cores don't always win the day. Most bench-marking tools that people use are geared to perform well on a multi-cored system by design. Well, guess what, to take advantage of all that with the real-world software and games, those things have to be compiled to support multiple cores. And most are not! So a single threaded performance, which Intel I9 Core line of CPUs excels at, is always a good bargain since almost all software is written to support it.

Cons: Somewhat pricey. Also needs a large (and at times noisy) cooler, in my case a water cooler. Will run hotter and consume more electric power. (My system runs at about 100W on standby.)

Overall Review: I had to buy it here as I was scammed when trying to purchase it on A-site (censored real name) for a little bit less money. So PLEASE don't buy any expensive items there. I tried to leave a negative review there about my experience to warn the others, but they turned it down, saying that I need to talk about the product only. OK, I guess they don't care. So learn on my bad example and buy ONLY new components, especially like expensive CPUs. You definitely don't want to buy someone's overclocked CPU for this much money. And Newegg provides a good option here!

Pros: I have to start off by saying that I did not try it for gaming. So, sorry, gamers. I bought several of these for the cryptocurrency mining and so far these cards did not disappoint. Next are the pros: - Run quiet - Somewhat low power usage (I get 780W on the entire box on x5 of these overclocked cards w/1000W PSU, for dual mining of ETH + SC with Claymore.) - Runs somewhat cool in my room. GPU reported temp is about 74C, fan speed: 60% - Somewhat reliable. (I get occasional BSOD on overclocked cards, but it's rare. Reboot usually fixes it.)

Cons: Quite expensive for the spes. But I understand that the cryptocurrency rush pushed the prices up.

Overall Review: I had these cards for over 2 weeks, so I haven't had a lot of experience with them. So if something bad happens in a long run, I will update my review here.

Pros: Love this motherboard. I bought it for my Ethereum mining rig. So far it works great.

Cons: - Easy to set up. - Has x7 PCI(e/x) slots for graphics cards, and additional x2 m.2 slots, so one can theoretically add 9 cards with this board (w/appropriate PSU.) - Good BIOS/UEFI. I didn't have any troubles setting it up for my needed overclocking. Also was able to easily turn off features. - I was able to turn off their "blinky lights" / LEDs on the board itself, which had no purpose but for decoration, I guess, and were kinda annoying.

Overall Review: None so far.
