Most Favorable Review

great for my two 27" monitors

VIVO Dual Monitor Mount Fully Adjustable Desk Free Stand for 2 LCD Screens up to 27" (STAND-V002P)
VIVO Dual Monitor Mount Fully Adjustable Desk Free Stand for 2 LCD Screens up to 27" (STAND-V002P)

Pros: Very good hardware that allows easy independent positioning of the monitors to a variety of angles and tilting. Up and down is for both at once. You can tighten any of the joints quickly to set how 'adjustable' you want them once set to your preference. Wrenches are supplied, and even have a holder for them on the vertical pole behind the monitors. I have mine lowered almost to the desk top, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

Cons: The arms just need to be put on the one way that works best. Make sure the bolt for tightening the arms onto the pole are in the back and the cable holders are under the arms, not on top, which you must do to have them be horizontal

Overall Review: I needed some help from the US Viva customer service, and they were VERY responsive and helpful.

Most Critical Review

3.5mm end not designed correctly...

Jansicotek 3.5mm 1/8" Male TRS to 6.35mm 1/4" Male TRS Stereo Audio Cable with Zinc Alloy Housing and Nylon Braid for iPhone, iPod, Laptop,Power Amplifier,Microphone and Guitar -(15ft, 5meters)
Jansicotek 3.5mm 1/8" Male TRS to 6.35mm 1/4" Male TRS Stereo Audio Cable with Zinc Alloy Housing and Nylon Braid for iPhone, iPod, Laptop,Power Amplifier,Microphone and Guitar -(15ft, 5meters)

Pros: cheap

Cons: Cheap. This is for use in headphones here, and the 3.5mm end falls out of the headphones. Other cables I have do not, I'm using some high quality Sony noise canceling heaphones and on one computer that I don't have bluetooth I needed the cable. Not usable at all for me.

Overall Review: I've never bought a cable before with 1/4 or 1/8" jacks that fall out. Not pull out easily.... I do mean simply fall out with just minor movement of the headphones.

Looks good, works

Bgears Fan Filter 120mm Fan filter with easy removable cover and washable foam filter (2 pieces Pack)
Bgears Fan Filter 120mm Fan filter with easy removable cover and washable foam filter (2 pieces Pack)

Pros: At first I didn't realize this came apart. You'll need to remove the cover to screw it in, then snap the cover back on. The filter sits in between.

Cons: not obvious it comes apart.

Overall Review: It does the job

First one DOA, but no problem getting replacement

WD Black 6TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD6003FZBX
WD Black 6TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD6003FZBX

Pros: Great to have this much space in a HD. Used primarily for data and disk image backups.

Cons: I'm a long time WD Black user in my music production machines. Usually very dependable, was surprised getting a dead one. Quick replacement, though.

Overall Review: Still love the Black drives, it is the first time I got a dead one.

Works fine

SYBA SY-PEX30016 3 Port IEEE 1394 Firewire 2x 1394B & 1x 1394A PCIe 1.1 x1 Card TI XIO2213B Chipset
SYBA SY-PEX30016 3 Port IEEE 1394 Firewire 2x 1394B & 1x 1394A PCIe 1.1 x1 Card TI XIO2213B Chipset

Pros: There was an issue with drivers but it was to do with a more recent Windows 10 version and I had to get a legacy Windows driver. Don't remember the details off the top of my head, but some searches will get you there if you bump into an issue getting the driver to work.

Cons: you may need to find the appropriate legacy Windows driver

Overall Review: yes

VERY good upgrade for my composing music computer

Intel Core i9-10900X - Core i9 10th Gen Cascade Lake 10-Core 3.7 GHz LGA 2066 165W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - BX8069510900X
Intel Core i9-10900X - Core i9 10th Gen Cascade Lake 10-Core 3.7 GHz LGA 2066 165W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - BX8069510900X

Pros: I run 4 computers networked at once for doing orchestral composition. The main machine was getting very old, an i7 3770k. This new i9 10900x cpu gives me about 2.25 - 2.75 times the capacity of the old one. Heat wise, this is doing very well so far. My sessions were designed around the old computer and are only pushing this one half as much. I altered my rack case to make room for the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, 140mm dual-tower CPU cooler. I'm at 47-50 Celsius when running at 26% cpu usage. I'll need to check with prime95 and report back on useful heat numbers

Cons: So far no cons to report

Overall Review: I would recommend this cpu composers and music producers that need a lot of power.

The small plugs are too small, they fall out of my headphones easily..

The small plugs are too small, they fall out of my headphones. My other shorter cable that I use is fine, they are very secure in the headphones.
