Most Favorable Review

I see plenty 2-3 stars Hopefully mine are more

ASUS AC3100 Wi-Fi Dual-band Gigabit Wireless Router with 4x4 MU-MIMO, 4 x LAN Ports, AiProtection Network Security and WTFast Game Accelerator, AiMesh Whole Home Wi-Fi System Compatible (RT-AC3100)

Pros: Fast 4x4 MU-MIMO - Working OK for now - backupped the settings - so if something happens I can review more.

Cons: The WFTFast is telling me I have three days trial - I used different Email address'. Nord VPN works Great, Web Serve (my own port forwarding and Firewall settings) and ftp server working great. Set up the FTP server for a USB hard drive. and I am going to hook the MacMini to the Time machine.

Overall Review: I have a Netgear Night Hawk on the side - it is not so easy to configure hardware router VPN

Most Critical Review

Burnt out after 2 years

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, White Led Pump, FEP Tubing, 120mm Air Balance MF, Dual Dissipation Technology

Pros: 1/5 years running on an AMD Ryzen 5 firewall. Well actually it started making noise - not really stopped. but yea - I call that burnt out - put the stock cooler that came with the CPU - Its only a firewall.

Cons: Louder than the Corsair that I bought

Overall Review: Ok for 2 year application

No way is it worth it -

Pros: Thermotake or EVGA burys these guys that's what pro about it.

Cons: No ways - not worth it - Stick with EVGa and Thermaltake or other Companies - Not worth $54.99

Its ok

ASUS E420-BB060M Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
ASUS E420-BB060M Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Works

Cons: The NUC I bought before this ruined a Samsung SSD - the nuc was returned no problem - Not the SSD though - Newegg is shipping that drive back so I can send it to the manufacturer to fix. Soins away with no recognition - Thanks NUC for Nuking my SSD

Overall Review: Not Really Only has one Ram slot (I bought 2 ram for the NUC ) Now stuck with a Ram Chip DDR4 and a broken Samsung SSD.

Easy to setup in my case

Pros: Came with Cyberlink Go 8.0 (all the harping about upgrading - the upgrade does have cool features like Youtube download - probably flv files) Blue Ray writing - you will need a Blueray software playing program. It works pretty good - I spent $25 on blueray option - most likely it can ISO blue rays - I have 2 boxes anyway by the TV.

Cons: No Blueray playing software - but hey $50
