Pros: Perfect case. No racing stripes, no plastic windows, very elegent appearance. Elegance is simplicity, funtionality, and pleasure in one package. I am not ready for a computer with the power supply on the bottom. The built-in front panel connectors are ample and match perfectly 100% with my nMEDIA 5 1/2" panel and Asus z68 motherboard. With this I have front and rear panel connectors for every MB I/O connectors with the single exception of one of the two Firewires. I was afraid the lighted front panel fan would be a bit over the top but now I like it. I can hear that there are fans but they are not obtrusive. My girlfriend gave up on her computer project about six months ago in frustration about the case selection. When she saw my new computer with the nMEDIA panel, she declared this is what she had been searching for. I am not moved by the quick connectors but the case comes with cool black machine screws for the rest of us.

Cons: While I was very impressed by the general build quality, I had to make a minor "adjustment" with a screwdriver on top of the case so that the side cover would slide into place smoothly. On the other hand, I think a light case is the better case for me and so I am not deterred by this minor flaw.

Overall Review: The metal screen front panels (removable and not) with the black sponge filters are very cool. I hope the plastic in the filters does not degrade with age.

Pros: attractive promotional price, nice feature set if you want WiFi

Cons: The specs on the Newegg site said PoE, (Power over Ethernet) but Amcrest agrees this is NOT a PoE camera.

Pros: competitive price Design Construction Stated specs.

Cons: used the rubber washers between the fan mounts and the case to provide clearance for the blades. My first try was using the rubber washers under the pin heads. With a bit of silicone spray this was an easy fix.

Overall Review: I can't evaluate the noise factor because another fan in the new build is so loud I can't tell if the Silent Wings is making any noise.

Pros: For the most part, this software worked well. I started with TurboTax and it generated bizarre results when I was working on state sales tax. H&R Block worked consistently well.

Cons: H&R Block tech support is not able to view my desktop in real time. I had to upload the tax file I was working on to get help with a problem I encountered. Tech support was very good. I ran into a complicated issue with Passive vs. nonpassive farm income (Loss) that slowed me down, but the same issue confused the CPA who did my taxes for me last year. IRS guidance/specifications could be the cause..

Overall Review: I do plan to use H&RBlock tax software going forward, This year was an experiment to determine if I could do my own taxes after relying on a CPA for the past 30+ years who is no longer doing tax return work. I mailed my taxes to the IRS and Wisconsin in early March. :)

Pros: I was able to call for support and the support person was able to view my computer screen in real time. This is a good feature of TurboTax. H&RBlock support agents are not able to do this, they require uploaded tax files and try to re-create your experience on their computers using your file. Aside from the security issues, that is not necessarily an identical testing environment.

Cons: I tried to enter sales tax information, but the software demonstrated extreme buggy behavior, transforming $2.300 into $230,000 and, quite literally, after a few back-and-forth button clicks, $1,000,000,000,000,000,000. That is more money that the sum of all economic activity by the human species ... combined ... since the species evolved over 200,000 years ago. This was observed in real time by an Intuit support person. After observing this, he informed me that he was only able to help me enter data, I would have to hang up and call again. Nevermind that a second call would get a support person who had identical constraints. I insisted that a software expert observe the behavior but was never contacted.

Overall Review: TurboTax has a good reputation but my experience was awful. This was my first attempt to do my own taxes in 30 years, after my "tax lady" had a brain tumor and won't recover so she shut down her business.

Pros: small form factor Chipset Win10 Pro DVD burner good value, all the computer the user needs. VGA video compatible with older LCD monitor so easy to set up.

Cons: I suppose I shouldn't use this expression now but "it is what it is." If that is not enough, this computer is not for you.

Overall Review: I recommend this "refurb" computer for users who want to upgrade from a Pentium class machine. Newer is always better but do many people really need more performance than a quad 3.1 GHz cpu with 8 GB of memory?
