Pros: Fast Great drivers Solid community

Cons: Card is big

Overall Review: I was a huge fan of ATI and never liked Nvidia on account of their market share and general unfriendliness toward their users and the market in general. That was until about 8 years ago when I was fed up with ATI/AMD drivers absolutely being horrible. A lot has changed though and I wanted to give them another chance, so I bought this card after seeing it reviewed favorably compared to the 3060ti (the comparable Nvidia offering). So far it's been solid as a rock, I easily get 150fps on the games I play at ultra and 4k so my 144hz monitor makes them look absolutely amazing. It's a lot of beef for a budget card.

Pros: I'm super impressed. The case has a tempered glass panel, the wifi (driver install sucked) is amazing, and the case also has magnetic filters. You will have an absolutely garbage experience with everything until you sort out the system time/time zone. Things won't install, RAM runs out, system crashes, etc. but once I got my time setup the system became solid as a rock.

Cons: Pictured ram config is dual channel, system ships with one stick though... So if you want the 8-20% performance gains from a dual channel config you may need to dump another 50$ in a second stick of ram.

Overall Review: It's a great PC for the money. On pcpartpicker the build ran 300$ over the sale price. At $850 this was a great deal.

Pros: Fast machine for the price. Very good specs, wifi (which does not work out of the box, but with some updates it will), bluetooth, and an i3 w/ > 4GB RAM

Cons: Wifi does not work out of the box, BIOS upgrades on gateway site are actually for Acer M 1935X machine (but curiously work albeit w/ lots of crashes)

Overall Review: Really good specs for someone looking for a cheap but powerful wired office/student/home desktop. PSU will not support a good GPU upgrade, so if you plan on making adding a good video card for gaming factor in the PSU cost. After removing the junk, and updating drivers I've been really pleased with the machine. If you know your way around driver update sites and dont mind tinkering w/ updates you can get wifi to work. Could not have gotten more hardware for the price, but bear in mind these are cheaper components (i3 and slower DDR3) but for the price you get a great machine.

Pros: -Fast -Easy to setup -Supports very modern CFW's like DD-WRT (Kong's is awesome) -Good range -GB ethernet

Cons: None considering what it costs

Overall Review: This router offers blazing ethernet speeds. My NAS's R/W performance improved 16x moving from my Linksys WRT54G to the WNR3500L. Setting up DD-WRT was a breeze, and is well documented at myopenrouter.com. I couldn't be happier.

Pros: Much faster than my WRT54G, and range is good. Wireless N is fantastic on 5ghz band. Dependable - for most of my networked devices.

Cons: Flaky software... my mundane and typical Intel GS45, which connects with 3 other router models I've owned (and countless hotel, restaurant, etc.) Wifi effortlessly - it fails to stay connected for more than 5 minutes. This was not fixed in the 1.01 FW update.

Overall Review: Check the hardware you own before purchasing, bear in mind - this does not have gigabit LAN. Despite having a fairly beefy CPU/RAM and a Broadcom, there are currently no 3rd party firmwares with support for this router. It's LAN performance is weak, with multiple computers transferring files, or testing NAS R/W performance over wireless or even LAN, it's clear the thing struggles. For users with lots of wireless devices and little need for good LAN performance - this is the ultimate budget router. For others, you may want to pony up the extra $ for something like an ASUS RT N16
