Most Critical Review

28 gauge wire is too small

Coboc 15 ft. USB 2.0 A Male to Micro-B 5-pin Male Cable (Black)

Pros: long, flexible, and cheap

Cons: won't charge a phone

Overall Review: This cable has 28 gauge wire, which results in 20% voltage loss at the USB standard 500 milliamps at 5 volts. it's not even enough to keep my phone charged, yet alone charge it.

Where's the support?

Pros: Looks great.

Cons: Can't install Windows. No keyboard or mouse support for Windows 7 Setup. I called up support and they said it's a problem with the operating system. Windows 7 is hardly obscure enough to not even point out that you don't support it.

Overall Review: It's probably fine for Windows 10, but if you prefer Windows 7, I'm sorry, ASUS dosen't put that much effort in.

Went read only

Pros: Size

Cons: The card failed into a read only mode while I was transferring data on it for the 1st time. I talked to SanDisk and they confirmed the part was bad.

Overall Review: I'm very irritated that I have to send a device back with my personal data on it in order to get a replacement. I'm not allowed to physically damage the part to assure the data won't be used without my permission. The data is easily accessible, and I have no way to delete it.

Pros: Nice case overall. Looks good, easy install except for the front fan.

Cons: The big 250mm fan (why I chose this case ) was dead within 26 days. The front 120mm that I added was a little difficult to install, but the big fan dying that fast is totally unacceptable.

Overall Review: Why do new PC fans die when PC fans from the 1980's still work?
