MONINXS Dual Arm Monitor Stand - Adjustable Gas Spring Computer Desk Mount Bracket with C Clamp/Grommet Mounting Base for 13 to 27 Inch Computer Screens - Each Arm Holds up to 17.6lbs
MONINXS Dual Arm Monitor Stand - Adjustable Gas Spring Computer Desk Mount Bracket with C Clamp/Grommet Mounting Base for 13 to 27 Inch Computer Screens - Each Arm Holds up to 17.6lbs

Pros: The parts on this dont feel flimsy at all. My monitors are 16 and 14 lbs iirc and i had to loosen the tension almost completely but theres no sag or slow rising. I didnt want to drill through my desk so i used the clamp instead of the through mount. The clamp pieces together nicely and the heft made me feel safe to mount my dual 24" curved displays.

Cons: Had to make some spacers to screw the vesa bracket to my plexio but my scepter didnt need any spacers.

Overall Review: This thing is hefty where it needs to be and light where it counts. This was the first aftermarket monitor mounting system i've used and setting it up was not an issue. Does what ita supposed to

first gpu i'v been able to get that was based on contemporary tech

Pros: stays cool super quiet runs everything from Warframe to Cyberpunk 2077 and more in my collection at 60fps 1080. the honest, factual reviews are all right about this card.

Cons: if i'm not acting disingenuous, there are none.

Overall Review: This card has been running all my games and Blender very well. My render times have skyrocketed and i can play with textures on high or ultra in most games i have while still watching youtube or twitch on my other monitor. I switched over from an nvidia pny p2200 and the process was super easy. I haven't OC'd anything yet but have no qualms about venturing into that sphere. 260 well spent.

Solid unit

VIVO Black Small Clamp-on Computer Keyboard and Mouse Under Desk Slider Tray
VIVO Black Small Clamp-on Computer Keyboard and Mouse Under Desk Slider Tray

Pros: Clamps are the right kind of heftyThe paint or powder coat on them is pretty tough; no marring at all after i slammed my superglue on it to prime the nozzle. Rubber pads to protect the top of the desk are preem.The clamps work even with my weird desk edge.

Cons: To roll it under i have to put the keyboard feet in. Not a big issue but something to keep in mind for wider desk tops.

Overall Review: An absolute unit of a keyboard tray.

Powerful

Pros: Easily handles multiple applications at the same time. Steam PlayonLinux Bluray video Emulators Twitch Youtube changing between applications is quick and it pushes video to my television with no issue.

Cons: stock cooler sucks

Overall Review: When i booted up for the first time and after i set up things like TRIM and what-not i did my best to tax this thing. It got hot but it kept on running and i don't think it got above 62c with all those things open and running. It runs Heroes of the Storm with little issue but i think most of my problems with the game are because I'm playing it on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon and not because of cpu/gpu performance. I don't have slower ram to test with it but research says get fast ram for an APU and i grabbed 8gigs of 2400 ram. They keep the apu filled with things to do and I've not had slow ups ever. I did have issues with trying to play witcher 2 but again, I'm running that game on steam through playonlinux and get around 20-25 fps, take from that what you will.

Solid hardware

Pros: fast boot time works lovely with linux ssd means i can leave it dangle in my ancient tower and not worry

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: it's a budget SSD and does what you need it to. I haven't tested it against a hdd for boot speeds but it's 15 or less from power button press to login screen. I have a few games on it and they are buttery smooth. I also have 2400mhz ram (7670k apu) but what i'm saying is the ssd isn't a bottle neck despite it being budget.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-8GXM

Pros: Linked up with my mobo, an Asrock FM2A88M PRO3+ , and my AMD A8 7670k without a hitch. Came with the 1.60 bios IC.

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: I was worried after i purchased the ram that it wouldn't register at 2400mhz with my motherboard because it wasn't under the "compatible" section on either Asrock's or G.SKILL's sites. The system posted perfectly. The UEFI BIOS had the ram speed listed and they are routinely handling all the ram intensive things i've done to them. (12+ tabs open, multiple youtube videos(1080), 2 twitch streams(high), soundcloud, 3 movies(blu ray), an anime series, and multiple word docs. Granted those are also(more-so) dependent on CPU but the ram held everything and jumped to attention when I switched between things.
