Solid, no-frills USB keyboard

Logitech Internet 350 Black 104 Normal Keys 8 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard
Logitech Internet 350 Black 104 Normal Keys 8 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: It works, no muss, no fuss, no driver mess. Has hot keys. Key action is good. Solid platform.

Cons: Keys feel a little soft. Play is not as crisp as I might like. Long stroke, spring is a little heavy. Need external software to remap hot keys (no driver).

Overall Review: Dependable USB keyboard, with no baggage to deal with.

Most Critical Review

Open box? Initial thoughts before installation

ASRock H170 Performance LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock H170 Performance LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Very clean board, well packaged. Board, manual, etc. all appear to be brand new in good shape.

Cons: The box looks like it has been used before. There are places where stickers or tape have been pulled off and took some of the artwork with it, there are still pieces of tape on the box that seem to have nothing to do with this product. The box itself shows signs of wear, as if it has been opened and handled many times. Some of the artwork is smudged, some missing, places where the box closes seem to have been used many times.

Overall Review: It is possible what I am seeing is an artifact of the shipping process, perhaps stacks of motherboard boxes in a crate that were taped together, or previous sale stickers that had been removed prior to shipping from a warehouse. Maybe the wear I seem to see on the box is a reflection of recycled paper which often has less "crispness" than fresh paper. In the end I just want it to function correctly, the concern here is that when buying something as "new" the expectation is that the box will look new as well. I generally don't mind paying a little more for a new part over open box/returned parts, but I expect the parts to look new, including the packaging.

Cheap, simple PSU. Works as expected

EVGA 600 BA 100-BA-0600-K1 600 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Active PFC Power Supply
EVGA 600 BA 100-BA-0600-K1 600 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Inexpensive, dependable

Cons: No modular cables. Limited connectors

Overall Review: Good PSU for a straight forward build. Nice for a dedicated gaming box, server, etc., but the lack of modular cables tend to make the build look messy. Not a problem for me (this was for a server), perfect for what I needed. Not particularly energy efficient.

Fast, easy to use, flexible

Synology 6 Bay NAS DiskStation - DS1618+ (Diskless)
Synology 6 Bay NAS DiskStation - DS1618+ (Diskless)

Pros: Simple to install and configure, with flexible configuration and lots of apps for various activities (backup, surveillance, media, etc.). available PCIe slot for SSD cache or 10GB ethernet. Very useful user interface, although it can be a little confusing finding a particular setting in the Control Panel (where the built-in search comes in handy).

Cons: Not much

Overall Review: There is a lot to like, if you are looking for a dedicated NAS with low overhead and simple configuration. It allows multiple user accounts with individual access control, simple (or as complicated as you wish) file services like ftp. It doesn't require all slots to be populated, and depending on what is installed it will help guide the type of file system to create depending on the goals (high speed, data redundancy, etc.).

Pros: Selection of high (2.4A) and low (1A) ports. Power cord allows plugging into socket behind table, putting the charger on the table. Nice when travelling.

Cons: None come to mind

Great stand, sturdy, very adaptable for multiple wheel/pedal/shifter sets

Solid construction, easy to put together. Comes with two different shifter mounts (GSV1, GSV2), gives great flexibility in how you want the shifter installed. Documentation is pretty sparse, but there are only a handful of parts (mostly screws), generally straight forward to assemble looking at the pictures. Very adjustable for height, putting wheel at different distances, etc. Adjustable rubber feet prevent slipping on solid floors, no wobbling. Game play is solid, no bouncing or flexing. To do this it is quite heavy.

Delivered quickly, works fine

Good price, delivered quickly. Some confusion with the actual transaction, but that seemed to be on the credit card company's side, unrelated to this purchase. In the end everything worked out well.
