Great power supplies

CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM850x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply
CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM850x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply

Pros: These power supplies are always great for me. I have used many other Corsair models with no problems. The modular cables make it super easy to organize and hide them inside your case if you wish to do so. You only plug in the ones you need so it makes it very neat. This power supply is 850W so it should handle any hardware you hook it to. It's also 80 PLUS GOLD certified which essentially means you are guaranteed over 80% effeciency (more like 87%+ actually). Higher effency power supplies are beneficial because less power is wasted and converted into heat. This means you have less power wasted which in turn translates to operational benefits. Please note this has side connectors instead of your typical rear connectors. This is a fully modular / low noise / energy efficient power supply that's also 850W. It also has a 140mm "Zero RPM Fan Mode" which provides almost silent operations while at lower loads. It should also fit into any standard size PC case. Obviously check your dimensions with the specs to be sure. It's a little heavy at almost 4lbs but that shouldn't be an issue as most of our gaming PC's aren't portable. :) It also comes with a *10* year warranty! That along is an amazing thing for them to offer. Most electronics are rated for around 5 years so for them to offer 10 years tells you that they stand behind their products. I have owned many Corsair products in my life and have yet to be disappointed with one. It comes with the following connections: 1x 24-pin ATX (24-pin) 2x ATX 12V/EPS12V (4+4-pin) 1x PCIe 5 (12+4-pin) 2x PCIe (6+2-pin, dual) 2x PCIe (6+2-pin) 12x SATA (Straight) 8x PATA These connections are from the following cables: 1x 24-pin ATX (24-pin): One cable (610mm) 2x EPS/ATX12V CABLE 8-PIN (4+4): Two cables (650mm) 1x PCIe CABLE 12+4-PIN(12+4): One cable (650mm) 1x PCIe CABLE 8-PIN (6+2)X2: One cable (650mm+100mm) 2x PCIe CABLE 8-PIN (6+2): Two cables (650mm) 3x SATA CABLE (4 SATA - (right angle)): Three cables (455mm + 115mm + 115mm + 115mm) 2x PATA CABLE (4-PIN): Two cables (450mm + 100mm + 100mm + 100mm)

Cons: It would be nice if it came with an RGB fan option, although this is not really necessary with power supplies, so more of a comment than a "con".

Overall Review: These power supplies are great and I have never had an issue with a Corsair power supply. This one is super nice because of the power output along with the efficiency and power rating.

Decent

NETGEAR AC1750 (16x4) DOCSIS 3.0 WiFi Cable Modem Router Combo Certified for Xfinity from Comcast, Spectrum, Cox, Cablevision & more (C6300)
NETGEAR AC1750 (16x4) DOCSIS 3.0 WiFi Cable Modem Router Combo Certified for Xfinity from Comcast, Spectrum, Cox, Cablevision & more (C6300)

Pros: This is an all-in-one modem/router/wireless combo. The setup is easy enough, although a non-technical end-user might have trouble locating some of the settings. The dual wireless is nice (2.4/5ghz). The modem itself doesn't seem to run hot. It did an automated activation via Comcast when I first installed it. It has all of the settings you typically see in a home router. It also has DynamicDNS services built right in! I use NO-IP, so I entered the host, my login/password, and it worked immediately.

Cons: The interface is horribly slow. The automated activation seemed to work, although I had lots of trouble getting internet traffic to work correctly. I had lots of issues with images showing on websites after activating the new modem. Example: If a site showed 5 images, only a 1 or 2 of them would display. I also had issues getting to some sites, or very slow connection. Although, the speed tests I ran showed a fast connection. I called Netgear and (of course) they walked me through doing a hard reset on the modem, using the reset button on the back. I did this, and set it back up, and had the same problem. I called Comcast last night and asked them to re-provision the modem (advise from Netgear). Comcast re-provisioned the modem, I rebooted it, and it seemed to work better. Also: When setting up a port forward, don't expect it to work immediately. I have set up port forwarding on this modem 3-4 times now. Each time, you have to apply the settings, and hard power cycle the modem (using the power cord). Leave it unplugged for 15-20 seconds, and plug it back in. Last night I fought with this for 30 minutes. Finally I unplugged it again, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in, and went to bed. This morning the port forwards were working. I'm not sure what the delay is, but it works now.

Overall Review: Even with having to call both Netgear and Comcast, the modem seems to work well now. It's interface is easy enough for most to set up, even though it's slow. Make sure you "apply" every setting change. ALSO Make sure that you set the port forwarding options correctly. By default, the "Never" option is checked, even when you add the new port forwarding rule. Make sure you either schedule it, or check "Always". Make sure to apply after each setting change.

These are great power supplies!

Nice little nose trimmer

Norelco NT3600/42 Nose Trimmer 3000 Men's Shavers
Norelco NT3600/42 Nose Trimmer 3000 Men's Shavers

Pros: I am happy with this product, especially at the price point. It works well to trim those unwanted nose hairs that we all have. As I have gotten older mine can get out of hand quickly. I was using an older rechargeable unit but the battery has started going out. This one comes with a lithium AA battery that you replace when it runs out. It also comes with multiple different tips to fit each individuals needs. All in all it's a great little trimmer.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I recommend this trimmer to anyone who needs to trim those unsightly nose hairs.

Nice case! I love the glass.

Montech Air 900 Mesh ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case, High & Max Airflow, Full-Metal Mesh Front Panel, Tempered Glass, Dust- Proof, Unique Mesh Side Panel - EATX, ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX - Black
Montech Air 900 Mesh ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case, High & Max Airflow, Full-Metal Mesh Front Panel, Tempered Glass, Dust- Proof, Unique Mesh Side Panel - EATX, ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX - Black

Pros: I like this case. The dark glass is sweet looking, especially with RGB fans inside. It has a lot of fan options too, which is nice. You also get USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports on the front for convenience. It has SSD mount options inside as well for direct SSD mounting. Has places for 8 fans.

Cons: No CD/DVD bays on the front.

Overall Review: Overall I think it's a great case.

Overall decent scanner

XEROX XD-Combo 600 dpi 24-bit color, 8-bit grayscale, 1-bit black & white Hi-speed USB 2.0 (3.0 compatible) Interface Flatbed or Automatic Document Feeder (Duplex) Duplex Combo Scanner
XEROX XD-Combo 600 dpi 24-bit color, 8-bit grayscale, 1-bit black & white Hi-speed USB 2.0 (3.0 compatible) Interface Flatbed or Automatic Document Feeder (Duplex) Duplex Combo Scanner

Pros: Duplex Flatbed so you can scan photos without worrying about bending/ripping them. Fast enough One-touch software w/ auto save settings

Cons: Hard to get the one-touch software working until I downloaded the newest version from the web. After this I unplugged it from one USB port and moved it to another and it worked fine.

Overall Review: Let me start by saying I like the scanner pretty well, but the initial setup was problematic. I was not able to get the one-touch software to work with my Windows 10 v1903 PC. After messing with it for a while, I finally went online and updated the one-touch software component. This fixed it after unplugging and plugging back in a few times. It scans fast enough for my taste and I haven't had any issues with paper feeding. It even comes with an additional separator pad.
