Amazing SLI performance!

EVGA 02G-P4-3658-KR GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST SuperClocked 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card - Retail

Pros: Purchased 2x for SLI which outperforms a GTX 680 in all of the game titles I play, maxes Crysis 3 with 35-40fps with an extra overclock boost, much higher fps at 4xmsaa.

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: i5-3570k @ 4.8ghz w/ closed loop Asus Maximus V Gene 2x 4gb 1600mhz/cl9 ram Sli 650ti Boost Corsair 860w AXI PSU Fractal Design Arc Mini with HDD bays butchered out for optimal airflow misc ssd misc storage hdd

Huh?

SYBA SD-ADA40077 2.5" SATA to mSATA SSD Adapter with USB 2.0 Support

Pros: Works

Cons: Sketchy performance? Without the adapter I get much faster boot times 100% of the time, though it only boots fast sometimes with it while other times it hangs at the windows logo for up to a few minutes.

Best LP option I can find.

Pros: Cheapest RX 460 Low profile Single bracket design (important for me)

Cons: Dual slot cooler

Overall Review: Dropped this into a SFF Dell Optiplex 980, modified the CPU cooling shroud/HDD bracket with a dremel, I couldn't be happier! Xeon X3480 16GB (4x4gb) DDR3 1333 128gb SSD 2tb 2.5" HDD RX 460 Aside from the driver ~error 43~ I get in Windows 7/10 (I will find a work-around), this card works great in Ubuntu 16.0.4 and games beautifully.

Great phone

Pros: Overall a great piece of hardware, competes with the big boys at a fraction of the price. This thing plays games and multitasks without effort.

Cons: -Camera is average, at best. -Battery life, if you're a heavy user, bring a power bank. -Speaker; Coming from an HTC One, this speaker is weak.

Overall Review: I knew exactly what I was getting into when I got this phone, the next best option in this price range would have been the OnePlus, but I needed expandable storage and dual sim compatibility.

Bios issues

Pros: Worked for a few minutes before issues arose.

Cons: Bios is freezing up; Sometimes it takes 90 seconds to go from a black screen (more often than not, it does nothing) to seeing anything and then freezes during post.
