Most Favorable Review

Great product for the right job

Radeon Pro WX 7100 100-505826 8GB 256-bit GDDR5 Workstation Video Card
Radeon Pro WX 7100 100-505826 8GB 256-bit GDDR5 Workstation Video Card

Pros: I do distributed computing (Science, Medicine, math,etc.). When I logged in to Einstein@home the site recognized the GPU within 1 minute and it was chugging away within another minute. No adjustments or fiddling around, it just went to work and very productively.

Cons: Not every site likes AMD chipsets. I tried to get this GPU to work on folding@home. Seemingly it can be done, but only if you're a tech guru, which I'm not.

Overall Review: I don't game at all, but as long as you are assured that your work is compatible with AMD chips, this GPU is a great value for the price.

Nice Computer, but...

DELL 3020-T Desktop Computer Intel Core i5 4th Gen 4570 (3.20 GHz) 8 GB 500 GB HDD DVDRW Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit A Grade
DELL 3020-T Desktop Computer Intel Core i5 4th Gen 4570 (3.20 GHz) 8 GB 500 GB HDD DVDRW Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit A Grade

Pros: Nice computer, works well after surviving the usual setup hassle with Microsoft.

Cons: I didn't get a Dell 3020-T, but a small form Model D08S.

Overall Review: Well, it does work, and for the price point returning it is more trouble than it's worth.

Excellent bang for the buck

StarTech ARMWALLDS Wall Mount Monitor Arm - Dual Swivel - Supports 13" to 27" Monitors - VESA Mount - TV Wall Mount - TV Mount
StarTech ARMWALLDS Wall Mount Monitor Arm - Dual Swivel - Supports 13" to 27" Monitors - VESA Mount - TV Wall Mount - TV Mount

Pros: For really short money, this mount frees up a great deal of space on my cramped little Ikea-type desk. I'm going to move my rig to another room soon and these mounts will allow me to add a second or even third monitor without spending $500 to $1500 on another desk.

Cons: "Measure twice,cut once" The first time I did this it took me about two hours, but the results were so good that I don't regret it one bit. I'm ordering a second which will likely take a half hour. In my case I was going through vertical 3/4" particle board. Rather than the included screws, I went to Home Depot and bought 1/4"/20 1"bolts with capnuts. Around $3. Your milage may vary, but you just won't find a better deal.

Overall Review: Overall: Six stars if it were allowed.

Took a chance... didn't work out

Dell Optiplex 3010 DT i3-3220 3.30GHz 8GB 250GB Win 7 Pro 1 Yr Wty

Pros: Well, the M/B posted.

Cons: After the M/B posted it either went straight to BSOD or "startup repair" or a screen with various options, all of which led to BSOD.

Overall Review: For short money, you've got to know you're taking a chance. When this one failed, I got a similar one for even less money. It works well for what my wife does, after I replaced the dvd player and memory with spares that I had. Now if they'll do an RMA, I'll be golden. If they won't, well it was short money after all. Just a word about "startup repair". In over twenty years and many PC's, I have NEVER seen it do anything useful.

Seasonic FOCUS PX-750, 750W 80+ Platinum, Full Modular, ATX Form Factor, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 10 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-750PX

Pros: I've had this PSU 7 months. It's quiet and efficient. No bells ,whistles or LED's, but what purpose would they serve anyway?

Cons: None

Delight for all your fans and accessories

Enlabs TX3HUB8AUCOS 8 Channel 3 pin Fan Automatic Speed Controller w/ rubber backed Tap,Automatic Temperature Controller for 3pin Fan,SATA to 8 x 3pin Fan Splitter Hub

Pros: This takes much of the fan load off the M/B. It's powered with a SATA connector from the PSU. With the adhesive backing you can mount it wherever you like, but I don't even do that. It weighs almost nothing, so why bother? I currently have four fans hooked to it and I expect two or three more eventually.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This makes picking the M/B that suits your build easier, and possibly less expensive, since the number of fan headers is much less of a concern. You can work on more important features. EDIT: 3 months in, I just ordered a second one. I'm adding another top fan and going to push-pull on my 140 x 280 water cooler. That takes up all eight headers and who knows what I might want next. Better to have it ready when it's wanted, for short money.

Given up Hope

I can manage without the cable I ordered,and the loss of $13.01 won't kill me,but I hope no one imagines I'm happy. Well,it's only been 29 days. They found a guy who'd been adrift at sea for over a year. Maybe he has my cable!
