Cheap m.2
Pros: Price, speed
Cons: Green pcb
Overall Review: Other than the green pcb that makes it stick out in my case no complaints yet. Right now it's cheaper than a typical sata SSD while being 3x faster. My drive tested out at 1932MB/s Seq read / 1805MB/s Seq Write. Your performance may vary.
Frustrating motherboard
Pros: None, wont post
Cons: For such a highly rated board you would think there would be better ways to troubleshoot. First of all if you are going to use a pc speaker for POST beep codes include one with the board or integrate it in the board. It is next to impossible to find one anywhere locally. A better way is to integrate a LED display for POST codes.
Overall Review: For such a highly rated board you would think there would be little chance for problems. Well after RMAing my first motherboard the second board would not post either using known good memory properly seated and listed under their QVL (tested on another board works fine) as well as trying multiple graphics cards (also tested and work fine). My last resort is to RMA a brand new i7 3770k cpu and if this board still does no post it will be getting replaced by another motherboard from another company.
Great value
Pros: Fits somewhere between a gtx 1070 and 1080 comparing to nvidia latest cards. Runs very cool in comparison to my r9 290. The fans don't even turn on unless you're gaming.
Cons: Coil whine is annoying at times, but only on certain games. It's huge so better have a large enough case.
Nice alternative to other "racing" chairs
Pros: Price, quality, and easy to assemble. Seems pretty heavy duty, I am 6'1" and it's tall enough and I can use the top pillow for my neck. You can use the pillows or not although aesthetics are much better without.
Cons: Arm rests seem a bit wobbly, not sure if this is an issue on other "racing" chairs
Overall Review: For what I paid I would recommend it. It's a bit stiff at first but seems to soften up over time.
Great buy
Pros: Cheapest AC Dual Band router I'm aware of with DD-WRT support
Cons: Weak coverage, but may not be an issue for most consumers.
Excellent tablet for the money
Pros: It does almost anything you need to do on a PC (office, web browsing, flash, etc). There are also many apps available which hopefully will grow over time. I actually bought 2 one for the wife and one for myself.
Cons: Updating is a must and the keyboard dock can be wonky, I have had "refresh" the system a few times.
Overall Review: I'm not sure if the o/s needs refreshing from all the updates or why. The only other issue is once in a great while it locks up and you need to hold power and volume rocker to do a hard reset. It's more powerful than a mobile phone and less powerful than a laptop.
