AOC 52 Series e2752She Glossy Black 27" HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Slim Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR 20,000,000:1
AOC 52 Series e2752She Glossy Black 27" HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Slim Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR 20,000,000:1

Pros: Price, 2ms response time, matte finish for screen with slick glossy frame, mutiple settings for brightness, 2 HDMI ports.

Cons: None so far, unless you need a DVI port. It does have a D-sub if you need it.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a 20 inch Viewsonic that finally died. I paid less for this than that old one. This is a very light monitor so setting it up where it won't be bumped is a good idea. Settings for internet, reading documents and gaming are pretty easily set. No dead pixels.

worked for a while

Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (with Red/Green Light) Model BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXRG

Pros: Looks great, the downloaded program allows some customization of the LED flash sequences, fast at first, recognized by ASUS motherboard, and an MSI board.

Cons: I purchased this for my husband's work computer in April 2012. Until about a month ago, it worked very well at 1600. The computer crashed after testing everything from mobo to video card to drives I was able to find only that the machine would run with the full 8 gigs of ram if it was set to 1333 MHz. I was able to narrow down which dimm was bad.

Overall Review: I helped a friend build a gaming computer using the the Blue/orange version. The memory worked well for about a month, then one dimm died. I have used crucial memory in many builds since 2002, and have never had any of their stuff fail before. This memory was never overclocked, so I would not expect a faiilure of this sort from crucial.

Good price for 1 TB

Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT1000MX500SSD1

Pros: The price, cloning software download included, easy installation

Cons: The link for the Acronis True image for Crucial given in the documentation will not get you the page you want. I had to go to the site map (for Crucial) to find it. But the download was easy and quick from there,

Overall Review: This is the second Crucial MX I've installed. The first was a couple years ago in a friend's machine. Installation was easy. Acronis cloned the old drive in very little time. It took less than 10 minutes from the time I started the program to the completion -- the source drive had been a much smaller Samsung with a clean install of Windows 10 on it. It is worth the price and I'd recommend it to a friend. Update: I still have this drive installed in my machine and it has done very well. I just installed one in a build for a friend and hope it serves him as well.

so far, a good PSU

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GT, 80 Plus Gold 650W, Fully Modular, Auto Eco Mode with FDB Fan, 100% Japanese Capacitors, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, 220-GT-0650-Y1

Pros: Fully modular, Consistent power good price the motherboard cable was long enough to actually use the case's cable management.

Cons: the cables might be a bit stiff, but were not overly so.

Overall Review: I would recommend this PSU to others. It ran out of the box. It has plenty of connectors for most basic, budget gaming computers computers. One of the most annoying things is the 24-pin connector cables are often too short to effectively hide the cable in cases with a cable management capability. This one was long enough for a mid-tower case. I went with this PSU because of the price, and brand. I have an old EVGA PSU that is more than 10 years old -- closer to 15+ -- and it still works. I think this has a 7 year warrantee. For the price it's a good deal.

happy with this CPU

AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen - RYZEN 5 3600 Matisse (Zen 2) 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000031BOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Good performance for the price. Runs on my MSI B450 Max motherboard well

Cons: None that I can see so far.

Overall Review: This replaces the Ryzen 5 2600. Eventually, the motherboard will be upgraded. I did update the BIOS on my mobo before installing this CPU. I tend to do this when ever I upgrade the processor but not yet the motherboard. I had no problem with the installation at all. My current computer build: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, 16 Gb Crucial 3200 sport, Gigabyte Radeon RX570, WD Black SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1 Tb SSD, Corsair MX500 1 Tb SSD 2 Blu-ray drives.

Good monitor for the orice

Pros: This replaces an old Dell that was maybe 20" The screen is clear and easy to look at, great for old eyes. It tilts nicely and sits the right height on the desk for my husband. He is very happy with it. The price was good, and set up was easy. It also had all the cables included.

Cons: My Sweetie is happy with it so there are no cons here so far.

Overall Review: I consider this a good buy and would recommend it to others.

Good customer service

Unfortunately the wireless card would not install (Bluetooth worked fine though). However, the vendor contacted me through email and offered to assist. He made some good suggestions, but I'd already tried those things. Because good customer service is really difficult to find these days, I would not rule out trying this vendor again.

This is the first time (I think) that I've ordered from this vendor. My order was processed and shipped quickly. I got what I ordered. So, I'd likely order from them again and would recommend them to others.

Good experience

This was the first time ordering from this vendor. My order was processed quickly, shipped quickly packed in the manufacturer's packaging. It arrived quickly and there was no damage. At this point, definitely, I would recommend this vendor to a friend.
