MSI MSI Gaming X99S Gaming 7 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Looks great, has great features

Cons: Lasted only around a year of use...unfortunately I purchased this board in Jan 2015, used for a few months and then my PC was unused for several years..long story why but not important, I started using this PC again in Fall Spring 2017 used for around 6 months and one day would not boot, with error codes...pulled everything out of system and also tried both bios's and upgrade to lastest bios...I am able to get the board to boot but had to move ram all to 1 side...tested ram and ram is good...I believe some of the ram slots on board have failed...I also believe there are a bunch of these issues..I called MSI support and they said out of warranty 4-5 months before the 36 months of actual purchase date so if you do order other MSI product you might want to check what your warranty is when you get it...MSI said warranty is from Date of manufacturer NOT the sales date..this is a POOR policy! SO if you product is sitting on a shelf for 6months you LOSE that time off your warranty..First time with MSI board..I had been with ASUS for many many years but wanted to try another company..Too bad MSI support was reasonable but there product quality and durability was AWFUL...looking for a new MOBO company with a good RMA and support for Canadians...Buyer beware!

Overall Review: I highly DO NOT recommend this product AVOID!

Pros: Its Seagate, how can you go wrong? I have only had 2 bad drives out of box in past 10 years...dont get me wrong the drives will fail eventually, but its nice to know that Seagate has your back the their excellent warranty and easy RMA program... New egg thanks for the fast turn around also...the got my order to me in lightening speed! The reason I stay with Seagate is because of their warranty and RMA

Cons: NONE..

Very Disapointed!!!

ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: -Use 5Ghz band -3 Big Antennae -Power Cable is extended length -Design is great, easy to mount in various positions...

Cons: QOS SUCKS!!! For 200$ I expect at least as good options as my old dir-655 that I bought this to replace... I have VOIP setup at home and wanted to prioritize traffic, but no easy way to do this. This is UNACCEPTABLE for the price of this router, when can do easily with cheaper hardware.... I have taken my CCNA and 10 year IT admin and can only imagine that your average users that wants to implement VOIP or port forwarding will struggle... For $200 USB 2.0, really come on Asus... I don 't mind paying for cutting edge, but needs to be what I am paying for... Slightly less power than my DIR-655... Wow I was shocked to see that on the 2.4 Ghz (N) I would always have a 3-8-DB less signal than my dlink 10-15ft away...

Overall Review: I was extremely disappointed with this product, I had very high hopes for this but the lack of QOS for my VOIP home line is a deal breaker... Still on the hunt for a replacement to my DIR-655 but I will wait and see if Asus can fix the QOS specifically for VOIP!!
