HDTV/PC Monitor for a great price!

Pros: LED HDTV with AV component and composite video. 2 HDMI connections. Easy setup. Got over the air digital channels with good signal.
Cons: Built in speakers are a little lacking but they are decent at low levels.
Overall Review: Bought this TV at $155 it is now $180 (two days after I purchased it!) Most 22" HDTVs with similar technology are close to $300. I did not buy this TV just because it was so cheap. I had been shopping for over 6 months for a TV with all this at a decent price. Looks like I found it at a bargain!
Free gift

Pros: Free. It works. Construction is definitely a $10 mouse.
Cons: 3 BOTTON (not a typo) MOUSE. You just have to love engrish on packaging. It just makes an otherwise OK product look even crappier. I can just see the person creating the inserts for these going "How you spell BUTTON?" in a very thick Chinese accent and some troll saying "BOTTON!"
Overall Review: Just a standard mouse. I gave it to my wife so she doesn't call me 3 times a day cause she hit the mouse hide function on her laptop and can't find her mouse. Problem solved with the 3-BOTTON mouse.
Decent device for travel

Pros: Its good for traveling. Not likely to leave it or loose it. (unlike USB charge cables & cords)
Cons: Bulky - difficult to pack into a briefcase or laptop bag.
Overall Review: I bought this for my wife as she is always loosing charge cables at hotels when she travels. Having this one power block, although bulky, did allow her to place things right where she wanted & needed them.
Great Price, Great Speed, Works Great!

Pros: Fast 1 TB ssd Loads Windows 11 in seconds. PCIE 5.0 x4
Cons: Did not come with advertised Heatsink (used Motherboard heatsink & all is running great).
Overall Review: This SSD was part of a new low power, low thermal design build. First off, Always make sure your system can support & run hardware before purchasing. Bois/Firmware updates are a must with any new hardware as it addresses previous issues & problems. When I purchased this SSD, it was on sale. Not the highest rated SSD but at the price it was hard to turn down. I have never had any issues with Team group hardware and this SSD was no exception. Even though the drive did not come with the heatsink, I used the Motherboard heatsink & this drive runs like a champion. Gave it 5 eggs even though it is missing the heatsink.
Best Price, Best Capacity Ram

Pros: 2 64GB sticks for 128GB total. 110v so they run cool. PC 5600 for decent speed
Cons: No heatsinks
Overall Review: These ram sticks were a great choice for my low TDP gaming system build. Without heatsinks temperature is concern but so far it does not seem to be an issue. Temps run well within expected limits 44-50c (111-122f). Not Overclocking, but with 128GB do I really need to? I will probably maxout to 256GB when these are back in stock.
WiFi 7 M-ATX board for a decent price

Pros: 3 M2 slots for ssd drives (1 PCI-E 5x4, 1 PCI-E 4x4, 1 PCI-E 4x2) WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4 PCI-E 5.0 USB 3.2 Easy to update BOIS All driver & update software available on website.
Cons: Did not come with driver software. USB 3.0 ports would shut down system when connecting flash drives or HID devices before BOIS update.
Overall Review: First things first...Always, always, ALWAYS update your BIOS to latest firmware! Second get the latest drivers from the motherboard website (Windows update gets generic drivers). This motherboard (as part of a new low power build) is about 3x faster than my AM4 build and I could not be happier! I love the WiFi 7 & Bluetooth connectivity! Once the BIOS was updated everything worked as expected. Gave it 4 eggs due to power issue with the USB back panel until the BIOS was updated. Memory sticks worked on A2 & B2 for system boot even though the manual has "v" (i assumed v for vacant?) in those positions.
Inexpensive 1000w power supply
Fully modular power supply. I only used the CPU & PCI-E cables. While it is an ATX 3.0 compatible power supply, it did not have the expected connections/cables for 8+4 pin ATX mother board power connection. Instead using 4 4-pin connections leaving one 4-pin dangling. not a huge deal but something to be aware of. Runs very cool and is very quiet. I am very impressed with this power supply.
