Most Favorable Review

Great price for refurbished product

AMD FirePro S9150 GPU Accelerator Kit 16GB 512-bit 235W PCIe Server Graphics Rendering Video Card (FOR HP!!  HP part # L9V75A)
AMD FirePro S9150 GPU Accelerator Kit 16GB 512-bit 235W PCIe Server Graphics Rendering Video Card (FOR HP!! HP part # L9V75A)

Pros: Awesome double float calc ability.

Cons: Getting good airflow can be tricky.

Overall Review: The company tried to claim these are new and ONLY for HP computers. Both are wrong. Works great in my Asus and my Supermicro mobos. The only way these could be new and this cheap is if they stole them from someone. Either way, I look forward to buying more.

Most Critical Review

Does not like AMD Video cards

SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SRA-O ATX Server Motherboard LGA 2011-3 Intel C612
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SRA-O ATX Server Motherboard LGA 2011-3 Intel C612

Pros: Having a hard time with this one. I've now "owned" 5 Supermicro Mobos. This one "works". Supermicro support is really great and fast!

Cons: I wish I let my experience with this mob be a warning to me. Doesn't like using AMD video cards. I spent $100 and 4 weeks finding that out. I purchased this Mobo for it's "Above 4GB" option in the PCE x16 slots. I wanted to use 2 Xeon Phi coprocessors. I needed to boot the Mobo and change the BIOS before it would turn on. That was an email to Supermicro.

Overall Review: This was my first SuperMicro Mobo. It should have been my last. For all the features this board has, an ASUS mobo will do the same things, and more, for about the same price. The money I lost... I mean spent on this mobo and another Supermicro mobo are my punishment for not doing my homework. I should have gone for ASUS all the way!!!! Unless Supermicro wants to refund ALL the money I spent on their mobos, that failed or didn't work out of the box, or required me to send them a DOA board 3 times, I don't want to deal with these folks ever again. I've successfully assembled about a dozen different computers. I am 0.5 for 5 with Supermicro. I give them 0.5 because it did everything other than recognize an entire bank of ram!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy an ASUS or Intel Mobo They CAN'T be any worse than Supermicro.

Purchased 2- both failed. Buy Samsung instead!!!

Crucial BX100 500GB SATA 2.5 inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT500BX100SSD1
Crucial BX100 500GB SATA 2.5 inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT500BX100SSD1

Pros: None

Cons: I purchased 2 of these SSDs. both failed in under a year. The first one decided that it was no longer a 500GB SSD, but rather a 100MB SSD. The other SSD will not boot after using it flawlessly for 5 months. The customer service was quite poor too. I called after the first SSD failed. I was told they don't do that and was told to call another number for "technical customer service". I would love to return these items and get my money back so I can buy a GOOD SSD. However, the local store tells me I have to return it to Crucial.

Overall Review: Total waste of money. Buy the Samsung SSDs. They are better.
