OK - I think

Nikon Coolpix L810 Red 16.1 MP 26X Optical Zoom Wide Angle Digital Camera HDTV Output
Nikon Coolpix L810 Red 16.1 MP 26X Optical Zoom Wide Angle Digital Camera HDTV Output

Pros: I am still figuring it out but... High resolution 16Mp support type 4 SD, Easy to hold in your right hand (if you dont have a right hand forget it) Takes great HD video - just tried a short one Pop up flash good lens cover with teather Uses AA batts and has a setting for NiMh, Lithium, Alkaline Beautiful screen. Takes awsome pictures on auto, outdoors in the sun on best quality. sleep mode if you forget to turn off the camera Good zoom and two locations to operate it. Beautiful red color

Cons: Battery door looks really fragile and if it fails this camera will be junk because nothing will hold the batteries in. SD card is under the battery door Auto feature is hit and miss in low light. Anything less than maximum resolution and the pictures dont seem to be good quality. My 3Mp junker takes better pics than this one on 10Mp. Noone want their pic taken twice with this flash, its brutally bright.

Overall Review: I have only used it on auto so far, its not readily apparent how to control "shutter speed" and if its possible to manually focus, etc. I have to fiddle with it every time I want to zoom an area on a pic I have taken. Use the onboard USB cable to transfer photos, rather than open the battery door. I have little doubt that when I throw this camera away, it will be because the battery door has broken, so open it as little as possible. Make sure you take the lens cover off before turn on, the lens cover should stick to the lens but instead is attached to the body of the camera and will prevent the lens from moving during power up, I dont know if they designed for this or not but it doesnt look good to me.

Worse than trash

AMD Gift - Software Download Coupon
AMD Gift - Software Download Coupon

Pros: Lightweight and does not take up much space in the landfill, its a colorful and a well made card - a professional and first rate printing job.

Cons: it made me waste my time looking at it.

Overall Review: I thought maybe power2go would be ok but if you want to do anything meaningful with it, it brings up a dialog prompting you to buy the full version. The basic version is nothing more than an advertisment to buy the full version and is useless. Extremely frustrating experience. Cyberlink makes some amazing software but their marketing is beyond irritating. I hope they work that out someday.

Bought 2 1DOA 1Clicking

Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Hard Drive 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s CMR 3.5" Internal HDD for RAID Network Attached Storage NE-ST12000VN0008
Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Hard Drive 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s CMR 3.5" Internal HDD for RAID Network Attached Storage NE-ST12000VN0008

Pros: The pros are all in the specs - CMR, capacity, reliability, 3 year warranty.

Cons: one drive clicks when used like it is going to die other drive was DOA

Overall Review: My reality was different from the specs. The first one I ordered makes a clicking noise similar to the head parking noise that old WD drives used to make just before they died completely. Needless to say that is making me nervous. So intending to return it, I bought another one to copy data to so I did not have to spend another week transferring data. The second one was completely dead. It just makes a regular periodic whine/beep that repeats once per second but does not initialize.

Beautiful case, bad organization

SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum skin reinforced plastic front panel, 0.8mm SECC body MILO Series ML03B Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum skin reinforced plastic front panel, 0.8mm SECC body MILO Series ML03B Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Pros: Relatively compact htpc case but can still handle a full sized atx power supply and uatx board. Looks nice when finished and can handle an optical drive.

Cons: Tight between the optical drive and the power supply. Bad to non-existent cable management. The "shelf" for the 3.5" drive and the front wires conflict making installation and cable management difficult. Only room for one 3.5" drive no high capacity raid. The front led are bright.

Overall Review: I used a 65W AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the video on die to keep the heat down and the mb had room for two nvme. Use a main board that can turn off the power light. On another system I put a piece of clear tape over the light and colored it with a sharpie to attenuate the light.

Looks spectacular but too tall for build

Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)
Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)

Pros: Well thought out, locks into AM4 socket mounting really well. Big quiet fan, lots of heavy duty heat pipes. Fans can go on either side or both. One fan should be more than adequate.

Cons: Its about 1/2 cm too tall for any of the three micro ATX cases I have tried it in. (very sad) This fan will require a full width tower. Even though fans can be added to both sides of the heatsink, it only comes with one fan. If fell one egg short because it was too long.

Overall Review: It seems to me that only a small change to the design could have made it work with way more cases. 1/2 cm is not too much to ask - the bends in the heatpipes would be a little more pronounced but I don't think it would be enough to compromise the design. Either they were lazy or I am wrong about he compromising part. eh, they are Noctua, its probably me.

Memory is PERFECT but NE wont let me set 5 stars

Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZRD416G3200HC16CDC01
Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model TLZRD416G3200HC16CDC01

Pros: Low Voltage Low Power Nice heat spreader, but not much heat anyway

Cons: NE wont let me change the stars from 4 to 5. Deserves 5.

Overall Review: Set to standard SPD no complaints - 18 Passes with Memtest 5 with no errors on Gigabyte B550 Aorus pro with both a R5-2600 and R5-3650. Might try overclocking it a bit but really anything more than 3000 will probably not make much of a difference anyway.

No Problems

The motherboard I ordered from Corn was delivered on time and was what I ordered. No problems with my transaction. I hope they continue to perform like that.

Did not contact (no need)

I ordered a KVM, it came really fast and was exactly as described. I did not contact the seller because everything was fine. Thanks for doing the job right.

Wish I read the reviews first - never received

CPU showed it would ship from US, but instead shipped from China. Its a boxed AMD Ryzen, why would it ship from China??? Been 10 days so far and never arrived. The time to return is ticking away. I ordered another one from a more reputable source and will try to get my money back for this one.
