Thermaltake Core V1 Extreme Mini ITX Cube Chassis, Compatible with Air and Liquid Cooling Builds (CA-1B8-00S1WN-00)

Pros: - The case comes apart at the bottom, top and both sides to make cable management a breeze. Easy to access everything from any direction. - Front side fan is huge and nice. - plenty of space to add fans in the back for airflow.

Cons: Con - None that I can find yet

Overall Review: The case is nice and small. It's a nice case and it fits a standard size power supply. I used this for a customer's pc. works well and is great. fans are quiet and it's a sturdy compact design which is great for out of sight out of mind.

Most Critical Review

The biggest issue is the lack of ram support

GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT -- LGA 775 - Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT -- LGA 775 - Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It surprisingly has a lot of support for Processors in the quad core range. Major plus for building a computer that is meant to just do basic computing tasks like serf the web and emailing.

Cons: The ram support list is very VERY small. I did not realize this at first which gave me a major headache. I had the version 2.1 motherboard and if you're lucky enough to get the same one, check the ram support list. Because of this I had to take off 2 eggs. http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-g41mt-s2pt_v1.1.pdf

Overall Review: I would buy this board again ironically now that I know the which ram is supported. Its great for cheap budget builds.

Nice motherboard but came with a bad internal video port

ASUS PRIME H610I-PLUS D4 LGA 1700 (Intel 12th & 13th Gen & Intel vPro) mini ITX Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, DDR4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, M.2 slot, 1 Gb Lan, DP/HDMI/D-Sub, V-M.2 slot (Key E), Q-LED)
ASUS PRIME H610I-PLUS D4 LGA 1700 (Intel 12th & 13th Gen & Intel vPro) mini ITX Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, DDR4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, M.2 slot, 1 Gb Lan, DP/HDMI/D-Sub, V-M.2 slot (Key E), Q-LED)

Pros: It's small, easy setup and packs a punch for a budget build pc.

Cons: - Unfortunately, my motherboard came with dead internal video ports. none worked straight out of the box and that left me scrambling for a video card. - Not a fan of their bios menu. It's a bit confusing to navigate through and there isn't an option to update it via the internet like some other boards do.

Overall Review: I would recommend it; I should have returned mine but due to time constraints I had to modify my build a little to get the job and desired outcome. The board is great for budget builds.

Amazing little card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING GDDR6, 04G-P4-1257-KR, 4GB GDDR6, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate
EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING GDDR6, 04G-P4-1257-KR, 4GB GDDR6, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate

Pros: Its got a good solid speed on it. Fits well. Fans work well. I dont have any issues playing my games (Xcom 2 and a few other demanding games.

Cons: I don't like that Nvidia makes you create an account just to download and install drivers. Its not needed considering I own the card..

Overall Review: I love the card and suites my needs. Would definitely buy a gain if they offer the promo with it.

Tiny but amazing board

ASRock A320M-ITX AM4 AMD Promontory A320 USB 3.1 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I really like this board. Its nice and compact. This is my first AMD build as i'm usually an Intel guy. No issues with the board and the bios has a lot of offer which is great.

Cons: RAM issue - Ram is very specific. I bought G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) for this build and i'm only utilizing about 5 1/2 gigs of the ram. Make sure you look at the ram list on their site to get the most of it. The USB patcher for windows 7 build does not work. creates the ISO but still shuts down usb ports for the build.

Overall Review: - Trying to figure out why i can't use my USB keyboard to reinstall windows. Looking forward to seeing how i can push this board. Right now its using a Ryzen 2200G CPU and waiting on getting a graphics card to see what i can do.

Great Camera not so great materials

Pros: Camera Video Quality Settings The physical Camera is actually pretty solid and provides great video Quality. The resolution is on par on all settings. the settings itself are pretty straightforward. there's 4 main categories with sub categories.

Cons: mounting bracket mobile app The mounting bracket comes in 2 spots that are both equally bad. the ball joint came loose within the first few days of use and only thing I did was set it. the suction cup is a con only because it doesn't stick to some surfaces. it has yet to fall off from the actual glass portion of my front windshield. The app.. the app freezes frequently especially during real time viewing.

Overall Review: I've since reached out to the manufacturer about the ball joint and explained the issue I've been having. they were extremely quick on sending me a replacement nothing that there is an issue with the screws that hold the ball joint in place. However waiting 10 days for a shipment from China is kinda ridiculous.

Great part.. not the same packaging as the last time?

The part itself is great. comes with an shorter bracket to mount to slim pcs. the only issue I had is that this is the second purchase of this same exact part. the first time came in a box with software and proper packaging. This time. totally different story. the only reason why i'm knocking down the rating on this to 4 out of 5 is because the lack of packaging. the part itself is fine and works fantastic.
