Small but Powerful

Pros: Works as intended. Impressed with the build quality and felt sturdy. Fan is quiet.

Cons: Component power cables are on the short side and barely fit on my ITX build with a NZXT H200 case.

Overall Review: Great buy for the price.

Most Critical Review

Good Printer, Bad Software

Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer with Wireless Printing and Duplex Two-Sided Printing

Cons: Connection software is finicky.

Overall Review: Works fine if your PC is able to connect. My work laptop is unable to connect due to Brother's software package.

Good Fan

Overall Review: As far as PSU go, if they work they get 5/5. This one did not.

DoA

ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING-ITX/AC AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Had all of the features I needed for a budget build

Cons: Arrived faulty and would not post.

Overall Review: Not much else to say, board was diagnosed dead after troubleshooting all components in a new build. Newegg return process was quick and easy, got a different board and the unit posted first time (proving it was the board).

Works Fine

Pros: Loud, Well built, Low feedback

Cons: Can be touchy to set correctly, Muddy sound

Overall Review: Once I got it tuned into my setup everything worked great. I wish it had a crisper punch but otherwise a nice budget offering.
