Most Favorable Review

Awesome PCs

Foxconn nt-A3700-0H0WBANA AMD A45 (Hudson D1) Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Foxconn nt-A3700-0H0WBANA AMD A45 (Hudson D1) Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Great, picked up 9 of these for the sales presentation computers - work great. Also picked up 5 Asus EeeBooks, these are a million times better, hands down.

Cons: The plastic case is semi-delicate, even when using the plastic knife included to remove the side panel they are a little frustrating to remove.

Overall Review: Am a little worried about dust down the road, will update when these have a couple of more miles on them.

Most Critical Review

Other 5 star reviews are bogus

SAMSUNG 23.6" TN LCD Monitor 5ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI S24B150BL
SAMSUNG 23.6" TN LCD Monitor 5ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI S24B150BL

Pros: 23" and LED

Cons: Viewing angles are horrible, poor color

Overall Review: It doesn't matter how this thing is tilted (watch Samsung respond to this interview with instructions on how to do so.) This is a poor monitor, even for spreadsheets and office docs. There is light bleed, poor viewing angles, and the color match is horrible. I wouldn't take this again if it was free.

Not great

ABS Tempest Aqua High Performance Gaming PC – Windows 11 Home - Intel i9 13900KF - GeForce RTX 4080 – DLSS 3 - AI-Powered Performance - 32GB DDR5 5600MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD – TA13900KF4080

Pros: Initially worked well

Cons: Developed issues after 6 - 7 months that are worst. Either the HD or Ram is going out. Thought it was a problem with newest drivers from GeForce 4080. By the time it developed into a worse issue a year had passed.

Overall Review: Build your own

Good buy

Using it right now

Rosewill RK-9000 - Mechanical Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue Switches
Rosewill RK-9000 - Mechanical Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue Switches

Pros: Mechanical and tactile feel - N key rollover is pretty righteous.

Cons: N Key Rollover only works with PS2, but since they have fixed polling with PS2, that's okay. (200 Mhz vs 500 Mhz w/USB)

Overall Review: Some people mentioned how loud the Cherry MX Blue switches are - I don't agree. It's just fine. Thinking of buying another for my computer at work.

Wouldn't honor my rebate

EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 01G-P3-1526-KR
EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 01G-P3-1526-KR

Pros: Cheap - two DVI ports

Cons: Slow

Overall Review: I just bought this on the cheap for a server. The reason I chose to buy it was a rebate -- which they didn't offer. We've all gone through the rebate process and looked at the checklist. I sent everything they asked for, well within the rebate time period. But, they denied my claim. Won't be doing any more business with them for this reason.
