Good Printer

Brother MFC series MFC-J6910dw Up to 35 ppm Black Print Speed 6000 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer
Brother MFC series MFC-J6910dw Up to 35 ppm Black Print Speed 6000 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Good Overall Printer. I use wired LAN and VOIP. Bought to print 11x17 for CAD and needed a FAX for business (some businesses still use them, WHY?). Set up easy with both Mac and Win7. There was some FAX issues, but think it's more VOIP than the Brother MFC. Overall good printer for the price.

Cons: none

Overall Review: She has an 11x17 glass for scan or copy, so make such you have the space on a sturdy table. Manual paper feed slot is on the back. You, I can, stand in front a feed paper. Just make sure you don't have a close overhanging shelf and have light to see what you're doing.

Sweet Keys

Das Keyboard DASK3PROMS1 (855800001166) Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Model S Professional Keyboard
Das Keyboard DASK3PROMS1 (855800001166) Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Model S Professional Keyboard

Pros: Best Keyboard I have ever used with a desktop computer. Every key is as it should be and where it should be. No flashing lights, no gimmicks, just a nice solid board.

Cons: none. Some say this is a "loud" board. Yes, you can hear the clicks, but my cat purrs louder.

Overall Review: I grew up on Royal and Underwood typewriters. Actually had classes in High School. You learned to be "one with the machine", i.e. there was feedback. Later the IBM keyboards were much loved for the same reason. My Mother would say she knew when someone had been using her typewriter. This is real and it is missing from the cheap keyboards we've all had to live with recently. Free with any purchase, soulless. The Apple Wireless Keyboard is good, but this on another level, alone. If you have never experienced this, you will know within one week what you have been missing you're whole life. Another thought is how it should or can be used. The talk of the "loud" clicks is misleading. The key has a switch that clicks at about half stroke. This is as far as you need to push down. It will make another sound as the key is bottomed out. This is wasted energy and wasted speed. So you'll have to re-learn how to use a keyboard. As a "typist", you learned to use a consistent pressure, not too soft or too hard, just right. This keyboard will teach you and you'll improve your speed. Cool.

Nice Fans

Cougar Turbine CF-T12S4 Case Fan

Pros: Quiet. All parts needed to install.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought these cause they don't light up. This was a new build with six mounted in case. I adapted two to direct connect to PS Molex connectors. Your MB will run out of fan connectors and I didn't want to stress the MB by splicing to case fan connections. Wikipedia will tell you which color wires to use. I when to Goodwill Computer Store and found some old pigtails, cheap. The two left over from the purchase will vent an equipment cabinet. They draw low current and have wide voltage 6-13 vdc, so any dc wart will do
