SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS 8-Port Controller Card
SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS 8-Port Controller Card

Pros: Does what I needed it to!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought 2 of these about 6 months apart while building a file server. I had purchased a few cheaper SATA cards which resulted in reboots and numerous failures. SAS was the only real option and these cards aren't terribly expensive. Combined with FlexRaid they're perfect.

3rd On It's Way

ASUS AC1900 Wi-Fi Dual-band 3x3 Gigabit Wireless Router with AiProtection Network Security Powered by Trend Micro, AiMesh Whole Home Wi-Fi System Compatible (RT-AC68U)

Pros: Works well was top of the line when I bought my first one. My second one lasted nearly 4 1/2 years. I've just ordered a 3rd.

Cons: My first RT-AC68U only lasted 7 months.

First Time SLI

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: SLI ACX

Cons: NA

Overall Review: Great card(s) bought 2 of them and they're crushing my old 780. This is my first SLI setup and couldn't be happier. The ACX cooling makes a difference. This is my 3rd time purchasing an EVGA card with ACX and I don't think I'll be going back to cards without it unless I switch to watercooling at some point.

Good

Symantec Norton Security with Backup [10 Devices] - Download
Symantec Norton Security with Backup [10 Devices] - Download

Pros: 10 Devices, multiple platforms, works how you expect Norton to work.

Cons: It can be a little naggy. Keeps scanning network drives even though it's been told not to.

Overall Review: I ordered this because Norton is/has retired it's older products. Installation was easy and my old settings transferred over. It's an all inclusive sort of product which I don't usually go for but I haven't had any issues with it. Had no issues with getting the wrong download... but I took my key and added it to my "My Norton Account" and downloaded from there.

Always Good

Pros: G.SKILL Ram never disappoints.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have 6 computers and they all use G.SKILL ram most of them from the Ripjaws line. This ram went into my latest build and as always it's running perfectly.

Saved My PC...

Pros: Made My PC Faster, more reliable.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wasn't sure about buying this originally but I've just ordered 2 more for a couple of HTPCs. The first one I bought was for a computer I built a few years ago on the cheap. Its mainly just an email and browse the web PC but it was getting really sluggish. My options were to rebuild... or to upgrade the ram but DDR2 is stupid expensive so I decided to give ReadyCache a try and it worked like a charm.
