WOW!

ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card ZT-71115-20L
ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 4GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card ZT-71115-20L

Pros: Passive cooling, no noisy fan to interfere with my voice over recordings. Fast. Great colors, details, contrasts, no ghosting or other garbage. I don't have fancy benchmarking software but it nearly doubled my windows video performance scores. Install on a dual boot w7/linux machine was a breeze, plug and play basically (my previous video card used the same NVIDIA driver so I did cheat a little bit but still - came right up)

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I was so impressed with this card on my 12 year old 17" vga only LCD that I splurged on a 24" ASUS with 2ms response time. HDMI and monitor was recognized immediately and the results are stunning. Super de duper incredible! If you're torn between buying a new computer or pimping out your old one, try this video card first. You will be impressed.

Misrepresented as a powered hub. It is not.

ORICO USB C Hub, 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Hub with 2 USB A Port, 2 USB C Port, Aliuminum USB Splitter with 1.64Ft USB C Cable and USB A Adapter, Type C Power Supply Port for MacBook, MacBook Pro

Pros: It's cute.

Cons: Searched for a powered usb hub and this one came up. It even has "powered" in the description but that's false. Sockets are tight and the cable to connect the hub is maybe 18 inches long. Not enough to connect my desktop and put the hub on my desk. So for now it's under my desk, until a very expensive cable comes tomorrow from the Zon. And the rubber feet on the bottom don't grip, it slides around like crazy when you try to plug stuff in.

Overall Review: I can still use it, but potentially worthless for bitcoin miners or any device (webcam, wifi adapter, bluetooth or wireless keyboard) that draws power, as you're dividing the standard usb amperage into 4 slices. I've had great luck with Orico products in the past, this one was a disappointment.

Awesome quality components and workmanship.

Rosewill ARC Series, ARC 650, 650W Non-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black
Rosewill ARC Series, ARC 650, 650W Non-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: Love this brand to the moon, bought this PSU as a backup but also for when clients come to me with a desktop that possibly has a dead Power Supply so I can just drop this one right in. Can't speak to endurance because right now it's in mothballs but I've never had a Rosewill product fail, and I've been doing IT work for about 54 years now.

Cons: Zero.

Overall Review: Highly recommended, great value for the price. Just make sure it meets your wattage and connector needs but you can't go wrong with Rosewill!

Battery is awesome, solar panel not so much.

Anker Solar Power Bank, PowerCore Solar 10000 Dual-Port Solar Charger with Flashlight, IP64 Splashproof, Dustproof for Outdoor Activities, Compatible with Smartphones

Pros: Great gadget to have when you're in the boonies or on a long trip and need to recharge your devices. In addition to cell phones, I've also used it to charge my Chromebook, an iPad and several flashlights. The battery never complained, it just did it's thing.

Cons: The solar panel works, sort of. I left it in the window for several weeks where it got sun 80% of the day. It indicated it was charging, but the charge meter (an icon, not a percentage) never changed. For the suggestion box, a charge indicator showing percentages would be useful.

Overall Review: Anker is a solid brand, but if you're looking for a powerbank don't bother with built in solar. The technology's just not there yet.

High Quality, perfect match!

Macally Slim USB Wired Small Compact Mini Computer Keyboard for Apple Mac, iMac, MacBook Pro/Air, Mac Mini, Windows PC Desktops, Laptop (Aluminum Silver)
Macally Slim USB Wired Small Compact Mini Computer Keyboard for Apple Mac, iMac, MacBook Pro/Air, Mac Mini, Windows PC Desktops, Laptop (Aluminum Silver)

Pros: I know, I know you can use regular keyboards with Macs but I'm weird. I like the feel and features offered by a keyboard designed specifically for Macs. This one was a breeze to setup and it's 100% compatible with the 3 Macs I've used it with.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you use Macs regularly, or repair them for clients I highly recommend this item. Grab it now, before they're extinct!

Exactly as described.

ORICO 2.5" Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 External Hard Drive Disk Enclosure Box, USB 3.0 High-Speed Case for 2.5" HDD / SSD, Case Support UASP Protocol SATA III Tool Free [Upgrade Version]
ORICO 2.5" Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 External Hard Drive Disk Enclosure Box, USB 3.0 High-Speed Case for 2.5" HDD / SSD, Case Support UASP Protocol SATA III Tool Free [Upgrade Version]

Pros: I have several of these, and they work great! Not only for testing old hard drives/SSD's, they're also useful for data rescue and on my SO's desktop I'm using one for a time machine backup. The transparent feature and being able to see inside is especially useful for this old fogey who while browsing through his junkbox can't remember which enclosures have drives in them, and which are empty.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Fantastic product, great value for the $.

Exceptional quality item and exactly as described. Fantastic experience with this seller!

Seller shipped promptly and provided tracking info, so it was possible to follow the item's progress along it's journey. Yes, shipping from China is not as fast as domestic mail but totally worth the wait. Good on price. Incredible quality. Including screws and a small screwdriver was a nice touch, beyond nice. Classy. Not everybody has the appropriate geek tools laying around...and by including the tool/screws even a non-geek recipient can install the item themselves right then. Hope to do business with Fenvi again very soon!

Seller shipped wrong cartridge, and ignored my email inquiry

Not the norm for House of Toners, but they shipped the wrong cartridge and declined to make things right by ignoring my emailed inquiry. So, I filed a claim with Newegg and several weeks later got a refund. I’ve been a loyal House of Toners client for many years on both this site and Amazyouknowwho. There was one instance where a defective cartridge got shipped out but vendor fixed that immediately. Very odd of them to not reply and step up/resolve their error.

Sent wrong item, doesn't answer emails.

Quality item but it wasn't compatible with the phone seller claimed. Attempted to contact seller for resolution, seller did not respond. Will see if a chargeback on my credit card gets their attention. SCAMMERS.
