Most Favorable Review

Very simple video card that does what it is told.

PNY Quadro P400 VCQP400-PB 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card
PNY Quadro P400 VCQP400-PB 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card

Pros: Nice small form factor. Fits inside SFF Dells and the fan doesn't obstruct things too badly. Easy plug and play install. I installed Nvidia drivers easily and we were up and running!

Cons: Price to performance ratio is lacking. If I wasn't buying this for the company, I could've hopped on the used market and saved a bit. Oh well, it does what it is supposed to!

Overall Review: It's also nice that it came w mini DP to DP adapters. That was very useful!

Good I think! No real complaints

Prolimatech PRO-PK3-5G Nano Aluminum High-Grade Thermal Compound in 5 Gram

Pros: Easy to use. Comes with spatula for spreading the compound. Good thermal transfer on paper. :) Haven't done much in the way of logging and testing before and after

Cons: None really, could be cheaper for the amount you get though.

Overall Review: I gave it 4 eggs because of the other competitors in the market. Seems like it's a little off in its price range, but that's about it I guess.

Easy setup-no frills - decent price/performance

Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT250MX500SSD1

Pros: Bought this a while ago and through it into some old machines to get them running smooth again. Not dissapointed! Boot times and access times are good enough.

Cons: None really, good for the price

Overall Review: Give it a go! No real regrets for a basic feature set and decent stability with BIOS updates.

Good Ryzen workhorse w/ decent basic features

ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy setup and isntallation. Basic features meet industry trends so no complaints there. Also decent amount of BIOS updates to keep things rolling with later Ryzen generations and AGESA versions. Price was competitive when I bought it, not like the current gouging.

Cons: None that I'd complain about for the price.

Overall Review: Decent overall board with your most helpful and useful basic features. Lacks some modern 2021 features like usb-c and whatever, but no biggee. It was designed a while ago and functions as it should.

Good Stable RAM that holds its XMP!

GeIL EVO POTENZA AMD 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Dual Channel Kit Model GPR432GB3200C16ADC
GeIL EVO POTENZA AMD 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Dual Channel Kit Model GPR432GB3200C16ADC

Pros: Good stable ram that holds its timings! It was a decent price when I bought this, but that was before price hikes. I had a Ryzen 7 2700x that held the XMP timings just fine and I didnt OC past that. Nice heatspreaders for dissipation.

Cons: None really. Possibly heatspreaders are too tall for some coolers, but my Cryorig C7 allows the fan to be adjusted higher to overhang them.

Overall Review: Glad to have a set of RAM with timings that play nice with Ryzen. I bought these at a time when there were other kits available that couldn't run at their XMP settings with my 2700x. So it was good to get these to run at their XMP settings with just a click or two in the BIOS.

Nice Board stable w BIOS udpate

ASUS ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, NVIDIA SLI, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, 14+2 Power Stages, Front USB 3.2 Type-C, Addressable Gen 2 RGB and AURA Sync)
ASUS ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, NVIDIA SLI, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, 14+2 Power Stages, Front USB 3.2 Type-C, Addressable Gen 2 RGB and AURA Sync)

Pros: Decently stable board to begin with! Haven't done OC'ing on it yet with my 5800x, but left PBO enabled so I get those benefits. - decent amount of RGB -usable BIOS with decent amount of options -fast ethernet and wifi -ample ports -passive cooling -integrated I/O shield -included wifi antenna for onboard wifi -auto installs ethernet driver when windows boots up so you can connect and get the rest -nice packaging and accessories (haven't used the stickers, but that's cool anyway)

Cons: -priced rather highly based on features, even though asus uses its x570 line to price this somewhat lower than that overpriced bear. Also such a price jump from the X450 and X470 boards from last gen -I only bought this because it was part of a newegg shuffle deal -had USB issues off the bat, but a BIOS update seems to have dealt with that -would like better descriptions and options when installing Asus software

Overall Review: The board itself is very easy to build with. There are several board makers with similar competitive products such as Asrock, MSI, and Gigabyte. Most of these check off the features I want as did this board. I didn't need the RGB, but I'll take it, I don't hate it. With a BIOS update, my usb issues seemed to go away, so I'm glad that this was fixed, although I see some early adopters spent a couple months dealing with these issues. It's a little odd to see the update progress slowly and then 2 more reboots while it updates led firmware and something else. I like the included accessory antenna for the wifi. Overall, this board is a good competitor amongst the B550 bros out there, but not a good price for the value, especially if you're not making use of the pci-e 4.0. There isn't too much of a "seat of the pants feel" benefit yet. I've only owned this thing for less than a week, so this is a fresh review!

Pleasant sale - no hassle

I bought a used Dell OptiPlex 3020 from them. It worked fine. It came packed well enough, although it probably could've been packed better with more bubble wrap. It had Windows 10 Pro activated on it and it works just fine. Thanks for a good sale!

Orico works just fine

Works great! I haven't had any problems. I have also not done a speed test, but I'm satisfied. Perhaps others with that kind of data would submit it.

No response to messages, no tracking number

No response to emails or messages and no tracking number. I recieved the fans I ordered and only 1 of 2 worked. Shipping from China, so I expected it to take a lloooooong time, and it did. 2 eggs for a decently priced deal, but other than that, no bueno. I would avoid them.
