Ubiquiti US-8-US Unifi Switch

Pros: Has a POE port for wireless access point Easy to set up with Unifi firewall Cost is fantastic

Cons: As of right now, nothing I can think of

Overall Review: Added this unit to my existing Unifi network. I could not be happier with the switch (and entire network)

Most Critical Review

24 hour update

ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting
ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting

Pros: It started off great for 24 hours. Full feature Motherboard. Can handle 2nd and 3rd gen Ryzen's

Cons: For the 1st 24 hours, everything was smooth. Came home from work and PC would not power on. Checked all components in secondary PC. All worked fine. Motherboard just died. RMA in progress.

Overall Review: If this was just a fluke, I could recommend this MB. Will have to wait to see what happens on the 2nd board. If same issues, I may switch to a laptop for convenience.

Fantastic Case for the money

Thermaltake Versa H21 Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior(CA-1B2-00M1NN-00)
Thermaltake Versa H21 Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior(CA-1B2-00M1NN-00)

Pros: - Simple Design - Love the solid black look - Plenty of room for basic builds - Room for more hard drives - Can even add a CDRW / DVD drive if you want

Cons: - A little misleading on the fans. - Under Specifications. List front fans as optional and as pre-installed. - Only 1 fan pre-installed (rear)

Overall Review: I have had a few glass cube cases. Tired of the glass. I don't use water cooling or colored fans very much. For a basic build without a lot of fancy lighting, this is a great case. Make sure to buy a couple of extra fans.

Great for the age of the CPU

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM4 65W No Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000457BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM4 65W No Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000457BOX

Pros: Great value for the cost Older CPU, but still performs very well

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have never been one for buying the latest and greatest Does a great job for a basic CPU build Paired it up with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a Radeon 5500XT that I had in a box Not a top of the line build, but for the money, no complaints

Overall Review: I would recommend this case Just remember to buy some fans
