Silent Running

COUGAR A-Series A760 (CGR B3-760) 760 W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Ultra Quiet Power Supply
COUGAR A-Series A760 (CGR B3-760) 760 W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Ultra Quiet Power Supply

Pros: 80+ Bronze certified Silent Lots of connectors Wires to connectors are in braided sheaths Appears to be very high quality

Cons: None

Overall Review: If do the math, you will find that an 80+ power supply (PS) will pay for itself. For my analysis I assumed that for the life of the power supply I would operate for one full year, 8,760 hours, at 438 W (calculated using the Newegg Power Supply (Wattage) Calculator). Now a cheap PS MIGHT BRAG about being 70 % efficient, so power IN = 625.7 W, thus consuming 5,481 kW•Hrs in 8,760 hours. This 80+ Bronze PS will be at least 84.54 % efficient at 438 W (57.63 % rated power), so power IN = 518.1 W, thus consuming 4,538 kW•Hrs in 8,760 hours. Compared to the cheap power supply, this power supply will consume 943 kW•Hrs less in one year's worth of running. I pay $0.142/k•hr, so this 80+ Bronze power supply will save me $134 in 8,760 hours of operation.

Works Even Though Not on the QVL

CORSAIR ValueSelect 32GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model CMV32GX4M1A2666C18
CORSAIR ValueSelect 32GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model CMV32GX4M1A2666C18

Pros: Does what it should do.I bought two modules separated by about a month, and they work flawlessly in dual channel configuration in my ASRock B460M PRO 4/ac - even though ASRock does not list them in their QVL.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Highly Recommended.

Plug it in and it works - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Speeds Verified

ADATA SE800 1TB IP68 Rugged - Up to 1000 MB/s - SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C External Portable SSD Blue (ASE800-1TU32G2-CBL)
ADATA SE800 1TB IP68 Rugged - Up to 1000 MB/s - SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C External Portable SSD Blue (ASE800-1TU32G2-CBL)

Pros: Appears to be very durable - and small.Included cables appear to be very heavy-duty - thickest I have come across.Verified Gen 2 speeds. See screenshots that show performance when connected to Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Highly recommended.

Everything But a Backlit Keyboard

HP Pavilion 17-ar050wm A10-9620P Quad Core 8GB 1TB 17.3-inch 1080p Radeon R5 Windows 10
HP Pavilion 17-ar050wm A10-9620P Quad Core 8GB 1TB 17.3-inch 1080p Radeon R5 Windows 10

Pros: Large, beautiful, and clear 1080p display. Not heavy. Full keyboard.

Cons: No backlighting on the keyboard.

Overall Review: I am buying another one for my daughter immediately after I hit the "submit review" button.

Great for a 4k Monitor at 30 Hz Refresh Rate

Samsung UN43MU630DFXZA 4K 43" LED TV, Black
Samsung UN43MU630DFXZA 4K 43" LED TV, Black

Pros: Flawless detail. Even very fine text at 3840 x 2160 / 30 Hz was outstanding. (I don't know how 60 Hz looks, but I don't need 60 Hz.)

Cons: A display port input would be a nice addition.

Overall Review: My Display Port to HDMI converter can only allow up to 4k / 30 Hz, so I do not know how it would look at 60 Hz. However, it is wonderful as a computer monitor for programming, data analysis, and other work-type stuff. Highly recommended.

RUNS ANDROID APPS + Great 1920 x 1080 Screen

Acer CB5-571-C4G4 Chromebook Intel Celeron 3205U (1.50 GHz) 4 GB Memory 16 GB SSD 15.6" Chrome OS (Manufacturer Recertified)
Acer CB5-571-C4G4 Chromebook Intel Celeron 3205U (1.50 GHz) 4 GB Memory 16 GB SSD 15.6" Chrome OS (Manufacturer Recertified)

Pros: Runs Android APPS. I got one of these over a year ago, and a few weeks ago mine got updated (automatically, of course) and now I can run apps, just like on my phone. Big, beautiful, 1920 x 1080 screen.

Cons: No cons (now that it runs Android apps).

Overall Review: Highly recommended Chromebook. If you are looking for a nice large-screen Chromebook, I don't see any reason to pay more.

Better Than As Stated

Fast delivery, and the thing had 16 GB of RAM instead of the 8 GB as stated! SO YAY! No unpleasant surprises. Everything was packed well, and arrived unharmed. I would definitely do business with these guys again.
