Most Favorable Review

Great basic workstation graphics card.

AMD Radeon Pro W6400 100-506189 4GB 64-bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card
AMD Radeon Pro W6400 100-506189 4GB 64-bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card

Pros: - bus powered half height, half length, single slot width so fits in a lot of systems other cards do not - 6nm so more power efficient combined with a quiet fan means a lot less noise than older cards or cards based on larger process nodes (esp 14nm or more) - two display port 1.4 ports for connecting two modern high resolution monitors without adapters - professional drivers / application support

Cons: - limited to two displays using DisplayPort, non-DisplayPort monitors require use of adapter

Overall Review: Great basic modern workstation card that is light on the wallet to purchase and run.

Most Critical Review

Coffee spill made it non-functional

Corsair Vengeance K95 CH-9000020-NA Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard (NA)
Corsair Vengeance K95 CH-9000020-NA Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard (NA)

Pros: Nice mechanical keyboard with lighting. Enjoyed it until a spill caused it to fail and exposed design deficiencies.

Cons: Poor design means it is very hard to impossible to repair or even clean after a spill leaves a key repeating continuously.

Overall Review: The metal keyboard tray and main circuit board are basically bonded together meaning you can't see / clean / fix any problems. Also the lack of a protective coating on a lot of exposed conductors means spills and/or dirt will eventually cause parts of it to fail - like leds etc.

Good alternative to system specific memory or OEM memory for a Lenovo P620 Threadripper Pro system

Kingston 16GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module - For Server - 16 GB (1 x 16GB) - DDR4-3200/PC4-25600 DDR4 SDRAM - 3200 MHz - CL22 - 1.20 V - ECC/Parity - Registered - 288-pin - DIMM - KSM32RS4/16HDR
Kingston 16GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module - For Server - 16 GB (1 x 16GB) - DDR4-3200/PC4-25600 DDR4 SDRAM - 3200 MHz - CL22 - 1.20 V - ECC/Parity - Registered - 288-pin - DIMM - KSM32RS4/16HDR

Pros: Same specifications as system specific memory but without the extra guarantee and without a higher price.

Cons: Some anxiety with regards to compatibility and stability vs system specific memory. Thankfully that goes away with testing.

Overall Review: With the system specific memory version for a Lenovo P620 Threadripper PRO system out of stock or not available I went with this memory as it matched the specifications and timing of the RAM that came with the system . Ran a Prime95 torture test for 6 hours which pinned all cores and all memory with no errors or problems. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Good RAM and a good price

NEMIX RAM 8GB Replacement for Samsung M391B1G73BH0-CH9 DDR3-1333 ECC UDIMM 2Rx8
NEMIX RAM 8GB Replacement for Samsung M391B1G73BH0-CH9 DDR3-1333 ECC UDIMM 2Rx8

Overall Review: Used 4 sticks to upgrade an old Dell T110 II from 8GB to 32GB of RAM. Been working without problems for months now.

Good DDR4 ECC workstation memory

Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 2133 RAM (Server Memory) ECC Intel Validated DIMM (288-Pin) KVR21E15D8/8I
Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 2133 RAM (Server Memory) ECC Intel Validated DIMM (288-Pin) KVR21E15D8/8I

Pros: - standards based memory so works fine in a lot of systems - for four slot desktop motherboards lets you get to 32GB RAM - works great in an Intel C236 motherboard based system using a Xeon E3-1270v5 (HP Z240 Workstation)

Cons: - system compatibility information on manufacturer websites make it hard to tell which modules will work in a system outside of the small number of suggested choices that are often overpriced or unavailable

Overall Review: It can be hard to choose memory modules based on specs when manufacturer websites suggest so few options for a given system. Taking time to match specs required and find memory modules that are available at a good price was worth the effort.

Saves space

Belkin SurgePlus 2-Port USB Swivel Charger w/ 3 AC Outlets (10 Watts, Combined)
Belkin SurgePlus 2-Port USB Swivel Charger w/ 3 AC Outlets (10 Watts, Combined)

Pros: Compact and can be positioned to not block second outlet. Can be used to provide power to two USB powered devices.

Cons: Most cellphones/tablets will only slow charge when attached.

Overall Review: I like the design of this device and use it to add 2 extra outlets + power two USB devices (a mohu leaf antenna and USB powered speakers).
