Most Favorable Review

A good product if drawbacks are not an issue

APEX TM366BK Black Steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ATX 12V 300W Power Supply
APEX TM366BK Black Steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ATX 12V 300W Power Supply

Pros: 9.6 by 9.6 motherboard fit well even with optical drive. Case is substantially heavy but not overbearing. More that enough screws. Hard drive is easy to install if you use one.

Cons: I couldn't figure out how the optical drive was tightened down. This isn't my first build. I finally used a washer and a special screw to hold it to the chassis in just one accessible hole. No instructions came with it. Virtually no room for cable management if the power supply is replaced with one of those big power supplies. The front usb and spkr/mic is located at the very bottom, very inconvenient. What is worse is that the usb is a 2.0 not 3.0. Even more worse is that the wires are pressed against a very sharp square cutout in the chassis. I wrapped the sharp edge in a heavy duty duct tape so the wires would be protected. The power supply is not meant for anything but a light weight installation. The extra connector for the m/b is a 4 wire not eight wire.

Overall Review: I wanted this case for a Athlon G install on a MSI B450M motherboard where I wouldn't need a graphics card. 16 gigs of Patriot memory and a Western Digital M.2 500 gig drive rounded out the install. For the work (no games) my wife does, this setup is blazing fast. What is nice is that the Athlon can be replaced with a Ryzen 3200G for faster performance. This case was a slight disappointment and mildly inconvenient but good enough that if I had to do it over I would buy this case again.

Most Critical Review

Almost a great flashlight

Rosewill RLFL-11003 3W 220 Lumen Heavy-Duty 3 D-Cell LED Aluminum Flashlight
Rosewill RLFL-11003 3W 220 Lumen Heavy-Duty 3 D-Cell LED Aluminum Flashlight

Pros: Shoots a narrow beam clearly lighting up an object more than 100 feets away. Great outdoors. Even indoors, standing it on its end aimed at the ceiling, it lights the whole room equal to a 25W light bulb enough light during a power outage. Beautifully machined. Feels solid and substantial.

Cons: Big, heavy, may not fit in a car's glovebox. May not work after a month or so. See my story.

Overall Review: I purchased two of them and installed brand new Duracell batteries and put them away in a dry location. Except for the touchy switch it was great. A month later I tried them. Neither worked. It seems the end cap spring wasn't making good contact. After fiddling with them cleaning what I could they worked. Lost power at Hurricane Sandy more than a month later, neither worked again. Took it apart and cleaned it, both work again but one of them is still troublesome. Not worth returning. Replacements would probably fail the same way. I might try some electrical contact grease to see if it helps. It's impossible that Rosewill doesn't know about this flashlight's shortcomings. If Rosewill or anyone solves this problem I hope they post it.

Most inexpensive H&R block offer

H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2022 [Key Card]
H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2022 [Key Card]

Pros: I think Turbo Tax is slightly easier that H&R block when entering investment data but H&R Block is far cheaper but still gets the job done. The conclusion is to go H&R Block. If your computer has solid state hard drive, the download is quite quick.

Cons: None really with the product but it seemed to take longer than it should have to ship the product but ordering early minimizes this. If you don't have broadband download time can be very long. In that case buy the disc.

Overall Review: I definitely recommend it.

Well worth it.

WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0B
WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0B

Pros: Very fast, cost effective and easy to install.

Cons: There really aren't any.

Overall Review: I bought a WD Blue and a WD Black. Both are excellent but I don't think the Black is worth the extra cost for what it could do. The WD Blue was easy to install although the screw that holds it down is very tiny and a little tricky to install. Make sure you find it and don't lose it. Installing the software was a breeze. No issues.

A great product

Pros: Inserted easily enough. Shield felt substantial.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It worked right off the bat with no issues. Only a week so far, but no problems whatsoever. I'd recommend this to others

Familiar friendly product

H&R BLOCK Tax Software Deluxe + State 2019 Windows - Download
H&R BLOCK Tax Software Deluxe + State 2019 Windows - Download

Pros: It covers all the bases if you own investments. It is easy to use especially if you used it the previous year. I have for the past 8 years. H&R takes the fear out of doing taxes. Downloading from investment firms makes doing the taxes ultra easy where there is a lot of different types of investments. I wouldn't even consider going it alone without H&R block.

Cons: There is one part that the user has to pay attention to otherwise it is easy to make a mistake. When entering interests and dividends where the user has an account with a investment firm, it is important to download from the investment firm into the program first before making entries otherwise if you hand enter information that it from the investment firm and then download, you can end up with duplicate entries.

Overall Review: I am super glad to have purchased it through Newegg download. It was way cheaper than all the other H&R block offers.

So easy to set up

Supplied with all the cords needed. Comes with a 32 inch USB 3.0 cord and a power cable. Worked from the gitgo without any set up. I plugged in an old 250gig sata hard drive and wiped it, then put some back up files on it. Working on a Windows 10 with an Ryzen cpu, msi m'board, 16 gigs, and 500gig Western Digital onboard solid state drive. This is easily moved to other computers as well as using multiple hard drives. Speed is fast. It has a power button on the front so it only has to be on when needed. I really like it.
