Pros: Cheapest solution if you need gigabit speeds. I liked EdgeOS but can be intimidating for inexperienced users. It's tiny and 5 ethernet cables will move it around wherever they want. Can be wall-mounted. Used old router as an access point for wireless.

Cons: Enabling hardware offloading (necessary to get >400mbit speeds) and setting port forwarding are harder than they need to be. Google it for help. On initial setup, if you cannot connect to it, try manually changing your computers IP to 192.168.1.20. Using the default 192.168.1.1 did not work until I did this.

Overall Review: I looked at building a pfsense box but it would have cost at least $200, closer to $300 for a 5-port (all Intel) barebones box. Add RAM and SSD and you're looking at another $100. I was skeptical the EdgeRouter would hit gigabit speeds but after enabling hardware offload (disabled by default) I was getting 850 mbit up and down on my CenturyLink fiber. Took a good day to setup but I'm happy with the results.

Pros: Cheap for wattage, modular, Corsair has a good PSU reputation. No coil whine on mine. Appeared brand new, not a scratch on it, no dust.

Cons: Fan goes from 0 to 100 at moderate to high loads. Eventually spins down but is still loud. My test was with one 290, three hours of gaming, no headphones, case ~4 feet away.

Overall Review: I've never been sensitive to fan noise but I don't like how Corsair rigged this fan. It's off at low load but moderate to high loads it spins up way more than necessary. There is no switch to control the fan. Add one of those and this would be a great PS. As it stands, I haven't decided if it's going back yet.

Pros: OSD is easy to navigate Good picture out of the box 100hz for cheap Base is sturdier than it looks

Cons: Prefer Displayport instead of HDMI and DVI instead of VGA No height adjustment

Overall Review: This review for ASRock review rebate program. For the price it's a very good monitor. No regrets.

Pros: Right to the stats. 40 minutes of the Witcher 3 1440p ultra settings. OC mode with Asus GPUTweak II. All maximums: 78C, 2063mhz core, 1251mhz memory, 62% fan speed, 2256 rpm, 3104MB memory used (no mods), 112% TDP, 1.062v VDDC.

Cons: Fans are a little loud at the above rpm but note I have an open air case 3 feet from me sitting on my desk. Stock still sucks.

Overall Review: If you can afford it, why not. Came from Crossfire 290s. Was tired of the multi-card shenanigans. GTX 1070 is great for 1440p now but future games (i.e. within 1 year), probably not. I generally upgrade my GPU every two years.

Pros: I own 2 of these switches for my home network. One is 1.5 years old and the other is less than 1 year old. Best price to performance ratio out there (when on sale). Large-file SSD to SSD copies over Cat6 will saturate gigabit (~120MB/sec).

Cons: If it dies outside the warranty period I will just spend more on the lifetime warranty on the Netgear switch.

Overall Review: Not sure why so many are dying outside 24 months. First thought is heat as these units are fanless. Mine are kept in a cool basement, open rack. Time will tell as I'm coming up on 24 months in October. I still think for $60 it's worth a shot for non-critical (home) networks. You're looking at almost twice that for the Netgear switch.

Pros: This PS model is built by Seasonic (the P2 is built by Superflower) so that should tell you everything you need to know. Cables are long enough for most ATX cases. ECO mode is well designed unlike Corsair's version. Playing 30 mins of SW Battelfront (beta) with Crossfire 290s and the fan still did not come on (tested, it works). You can flip the ECO mode on/off at anytime. Very silent even when the fan is on. Sleeved cables look good.

Cons: It doesn't make sandwiches.

Overall Review: Seasonic built plus EVGA warranty and support? What's not to love. Get it on sale/rebate. At full price it's still a fair deal.
