Most Favorable Review

works just fine

AMD Sempron 64 3600+ - Sempron 64 Manila Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket AM2 62W Processor - SDA3600CNBOX
AMD Sempron 64 3600+ - Sempron 64 Manila Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket AM2 62W Processor - SDA3600CNBOX

Pros: Good price, good speed

Cons: single core

Overall Review: I bought this for my parents so I haven't dealt with it that much, but my dad's the kind that often complains about slow computers and he hasn't said a word. I'm satisfied.

Most Critical Review

didn't work

ASUS Black 52X CD-ROM E-IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Model CD-S520/A5
ASUS Black 52X CD-ROM E-IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Model CD-S520/A5

Pros: looks pretty, great price, I like that the tray is black in addition to the faceplate.

Cons: doesn't work. I've gone through a lot of trouble shooting steps and have conclusively decided that it arrived broken. I don't really have any hard feelings, it's very inexpensive and I just got unlucky.

Overall Review: I'm sure I could RMA it, but shipping it back would cost half the price of a new one, I'm gonna call this karma for all my other parts working and be happy the part that went bad was so inexpensive.

Would not work at all - because of incompatibility

ASRock B250M-HDV LGA 1151 Intel B250 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Motherboards - Intel
ASRock B250M-HDV LGA 1151 Intel B250 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Motherboards - Intel

Pros: Good price

Cons: Would not boot at all, see Other.

Overall Review: I bought this to use with a Intel Core i7-8700K. That product page does not list "generation" at all, it lists LGA 1151 300 series. This page lists generation, but not series at all. So despite being the same socket type (LGA1151), this mother board was not compatible with my processor. Would be nice if the product page used the same terminology the processor uses. For anyone like me who doesn't know, 300 series is apparently synonymous with 8th generation.

a nice powersupply

Rosewill Turbo series RT550-135-BK 550W ATX 12V ver.2.2 / EPS 12V SLI Ready   Power Supply
Rosewill Turbo series RT550-135-BK 550W ATX 12V ver.2.2 / EPS 12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Stays at a good temp, has all the cables I needed (including 4 sata hd, 2 cd, and a floppy). good price

Cons: It's the loudest thing in my computer, but I made a point of getting a really quiet computer, so it's not much of an insult. Fan is always running at the same speed

Overall Review: Fit my needs perfectly. I find the "cool" blue light mildly annoying but I'm sure others appriciate it.

great price

Sunbeam PSU-BKS-480-US 480 W ATX12V Power Supply
Sunbeam PSU-BKS-480-US 480 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: This is a really deal. I didn't need this much wattage, but that was sort of the plan. I've heard that cheap powersupplys put out less wattage than their label says. I never tested it's actual output but powered everything I needed without issue.

Cons: Only has one sata cable, but I didn't use a sata hard drive anyway, so who cares. A little on the noisy side, but only a little, it's really not bad.

Overall Review: Did exactly what I needed it to at a great price, I have no complaints

Pros: works perfectly from the beginning

Cons: none to speak of

Overall Review: all I wanted was for this ram to showup without hitch, and it did just that.
