Most Favorable Review

Excellent upgrade from the GeForce 750Ti I was using before!

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 O4G Gaming OC Edition GDDR5 DP HDMI DVI VR Ready AMD Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING)
ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 O4G Gaming OC Edition GDDR5 DP HDMI DVI VR Ready AMD Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING)

Pros: VR Ready 1300MHz 4 GB RAM Multiple Video Out Ports 2 Free Games From AMD

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I am very impressed with this card. I have been a GeForce guy for a very long time and this is my first try with a Radeon card but matched with my AMD FX 8-core (yes, from like 5 years ago) and 32GB of ram, I can easily play all the newer games I have been wanting to play for some time. In FarCry 5 I am seeing a minimum of 44FPS and a maximum of 75FPS when running the video settings on "High" which is just below the top setting. Not bad for a 5 year old machine if you ask me! Once the 8GB cards come down in price, I plan on upgrading again but for now, I only need the 4GB version. Also, I got this on sale during Cyber Monday so this card after discounts and the $99 AMD game credit cost less than 30 bucks! That is freaking awesome!!!

Did not work with my Mazda 3

Pros: Never worked so I couldn't tell you.

Cons: Did not work from the start. While it did plug in to my 2010 mazda 3's license plate lighting sockets, it was too tall to be able to replace the clear plastic covers.

Overall Review: Well, that was a waste of a few bucks!

An easy way to add 4 USB 2.0 ports to your PC

Pros: Super simple install. Plug and play in Windows 10. My computer now has 4 more ports than it did before. Doesn't take up too much room. Makes use of that empty PCIe port on your MOBO.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Definitely recommend if you're looking to add USB 2.0 ports to your PC. Price point is fair and install is extremely simple.

Far better than the one they replaced it with!

Pros: - Very easy to use. - Saves you money over store-bought tea. - Makes excellent iced tea in just minutes. - Has a round base that allows for easy stirring as opposed to a square pitcher like on the new model. - The pitcher also goes further in so there is less of a chance for spillage than the newer one.

Cons: - Top lid drips when you open it after brewing. I suggest using a towel to catch it before it runs down to the base. - The handle can allow mold to develop so I suggest removing the screw on the underside of the handle and pulling off the blue cap piece and cleaning the void out once in a while to prevent this. - The base of this unit is metal (as opposed to a previous version that was plastic) which allows rust to start. My advice is place something under the pitcher that spaces the unit above whatever counter surface you have. This will allow the moisture to dry off if it should build up.

Overall Review: This is my 3rd or 4th tea maker over a span of nearly 2 decades. These things are great and will last you a long time with proper care and cleaning. I highly suggest buying this model over the newer one sold in most department stores as this one is far better than the new one.

Ideal for the Red Light district...

Pros: Bright, long enough cord, low power consumption, low profile for easy install almost anywhere

Cons: None. Some have complained about the velcro that is included. I cleaned both surfaces thoroughly, applied the velcro to each piece, and then pressed and held for several seconds and it works fine for me.

Overall Review: I used these to add a little more lighting accent to my gaming rig. With the red led fans at top for exhaust and these placed in the front air intake, the thing looks sweet!

Looks cool...has issues!

Pros: Keyboard: Backlight feature can be turned off on keyboard so you can practice your typing skills. Dedicated buttons for media playback (designed for Windows Media Player but works with others like VLC), as well as system volume. Backlight is not overwhelmingly bright and looks really cool in the dark. Mouse: The lights also look cool, and the on board DPI adjustment button is a nice addition. The back/forward buttons are my favorite part, as it makes browsing, file searches, and many other functions much easier!

Cons: Update: The mouse scroll wheel stopped working a few months after owning this set. That instantly drops my rating to 2 eggs! Also, without the backlight turned on, you cannot see the keys so hopefully that doesn't die. Original Review: The keyboard has a delay when coming back from a long pause or sleep state...when you press the first key, nothing registers on the screen...it has to apparently "wake-up" itself. Also, both the keyboard and the mouse lose their settings when the computer is shut down. This means that the backlight goes to its default "OFF" setting and the mouse drops to the lowest DPI setting. Just more annoying than anything, but the wake-up feature combines to equal one egg dropped off the score. Better step it up Cooler Master...could have had a 5-Egg review!

Overall Review: After owning this for a very short time and having the mouse die on me, I would recommend spending a few more bucks and going with a Logitech mouse and maybe a Corsair gaming keyboard.
