Great machine
Pros: - Got two during Black Friday at 50-ish% off - So far both machines exceeded our expectations with no problems even after firmware update -Games like Ark, Planet Zoo, Fortnight, Minecraft, Doom Eternal, Superhot, all on nearly Ultra high settings with no issues. - I read some buyers complaining about the power supply but I see no issues with either machine in that regard. I have not added any extra hardware though. - All stuffed nicely in a mid-sized tower - RGB lighting setup is nicely done, and easily controlled. -The only "bloatware" on the two I have is actually a useful Asus updater which includes the RGB controller.
Cons: - No real cons, they are doing everything I hoped they would do - The fans can be a little loud, but come on, its for gaming and it has several fans, not really a problem
Overall Review: - I would recommend this for a friend or family member - I would buy another one at this point - I have had good experience with Asus support on other products in the past so I felt confident with that before I bought these machines.
After first purchase, I bought two more
Pros: It works just fine with my iPhone12 Mini in and Otterbox Commuter case. No wearing out the phone port Reliable
Cons: Just listen for your phone to connect, if it isn't centered then it doesn't connect. This has only happened without me noticing like two or three times in several months though.
Overall Review: This was a shell shocker deal that I purchased a while back for myself. It worked very well and reliable so when I Mother and Brother recently got new phones with wireless charging capabilities, I purchased two more and shipped them to their homes.
Better than I expected!
Pros: Great vacuum power Docks itself to recharge Pretty quiet Oddly my two Rat Terriers aren't bothered by it at all. O.o Can be programmed on a schedule Transitions from hardwoods>tile>carpet fairly easily
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: So far this thing has been impressive. It is my first robot vac of any kind and I am surprised at how much I like it. We have two small dogs that really get worked up with guests, and the regular vacuum, but don't seem to care at all about the robot vac. It is quiet unless its on hardwoods under your feet, then it is kind of annoying, but schedule it to run when your not around, like its intended and I think its great. The debris capacity seems like two cycles and it needs emptied. It seems to have plenty of charge in our 1500 Sq Ft home. Mostly hardwood, with two tile baths and two carpeted bedrooms.
Great Customer service
Pros: Good looking device Semi-modular with nice looking cables. Cables long enough for extra large form factor case. Quiet
Cons: Had an issue with the first one randomly shutting down. Raidmax customer support promptly took care of it. (Actually a Pro)
Overall Review: After contacting Raidmax customer service they issued an RMA and shipped me a replacement immediately. It is a good looking device in my machine, with nice looking cables and blue fan. Raidmax customer support was on point with a quick reply and replacement. I had previously left a fairly unhappy review but deleted it in order to let customers know they totally took care of it and stood behind their product. Thank you Raidmax, I can say I am confident as your customer!
Impressive
Pros: Small form factor fits in Dell Optiplex 990 series properly - with no room to spare Dell Optiplex 990 series 240 watt standard Power supply also powering it just fine under load Certain games running Vulkan API require 3GB min dedicated ram and this card covers that No additional power cables required very quiet Came with Low Profile bracket
Cons: Some games have this videocard automatically considered as legacy even though it is capable of higher quality performance Covers the only other PCIe slot in this machine No MSI sticker :(
Overall Review: This card appears to be a great value and fit exactly as I hoped in the Dell Optiplex 990 SFF machine. With an i5 proc, SSD, and 16 Gb of ram, it seems to play the games intended for it very well. (No Mans Sky, Crossout, simple planes, Scrap Mechanic, etc.) Currently it is running a single 22" monitor with DVI, and plan to update this to a small 32 inch TV soon connected via HDMI for the space it is in.
