Most Favorable Review

We like ours

ASUS 4.3" Personal Navigation Device Utilizes Bluetooth 2.0 for Handsfree Calls
ASUS 4.3" Personal Navigation Device Utilizes Bluetooth 2.0 for Handsfree Calls

Pros: I bought mine for my wife for XMAS and my mom got my Dad a Garmin at virtually the same price. (I think theres was 30 less). I basically set them both up and I thought that the ASUS was a lot more intuitive. The Asus also came with a 2gb SD card, even though you can buy those for like 13 bucks now.

Cons: Ours has not pickup the Satellite signal immediately every time. Most of the time its quick but sometimes takes up to 1 min, maybe 2. The garmin my parents got had a flipup antenae (I prefer ours without) but theirs def picked up signal faster.

Overall Review: Very nuce screen on it, can watch vids or view or digital pics we have sored on the SD card.

Most Critical Review

Seemed like good value

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Backlighting stopped working on 90% of keyboard after 3 months

Overall Review: If paragliding is important to you. Look elsewhere. Otherwise a nice keyboard

Great

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4133 (PC4 33000) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-4133C19D-16GTZKWC
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4133 (PC4 33000) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-4133C19D-16GTZKWC

Pros: This was the highest speed RAM listed for my mobo (B450 MSI gaming plus max) at 4133 19-19-19-39. I downclocked the speed to 3600 and set timing to 14-14-14-34. Works great and is $30 cheaper for 16gb than RAM that is native at 3600 14 CAS. It did run no issues at 4133 CAS 19, but I think 3600 at CAS 14 is the sweet spot.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Anytime you are going to be OC RAM or playing with the settings, I highly recommend getting RAM on your QVL. Ive been building comps for 17 years and Ive never had an issue with QVL RAM. Non QVL is a bit more of rolling the dice.

Really nice case

Corsair Crystal iCUE 465X RGB CC-9011189-WW White Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks great No issues with cable management space as some have stated. Comes with Icue controller, makes this case a decent value if youre into RGB

Cons: Bit pricer than I normally go for a case, but was building for my 10 yo daughter, so looks were important. I did need to remove the HDD cage as the PSU I used is an older semi-modular unit. No big deal. didn't need it anwyays.

Overall Review: Really great looking case, daughter loves it. If you are struggling to make the cables fit, may need to remove HDD cage. Once I did that, some basic cable management/patience and organization made for an easy build. Paired with a white corsair 100i AIO cooler and white corsair vengeance DDR.

not great

APEVIA CO312L-OG Cosmos 120mm Orange LED Ultra Silent Case Fan w/ 16 LEDs & Anti-Vibration Rubber Pads (3 Pack)
APEVIA CO312L-OG Cosmos 120mm Orange LED Ultra Silent Case Fan w/ 16 LEDs & Anti-Vibration Rubber Pads (3 Pack)

Pros: orange, if that's what youre going for. quiet

Cons: bought 3 x 3 packs, 2 DOA's. CFM is not great but probably close to what is described. Look elsewhere for gaming fans.

Overall Review: Id give it 1 star becauyse its just not my thing. I prefer fans that can crank up to move air...these are limited. But that's not totally fair, I should have read description better.

Ridiculous air cool

Delta FFB1212EHE-F00 Non-LED LED Case cooler

Pros: Unreal airflow. If that's what you want, get this.

Cons: none. Know what you are getting.

Overall Review: Make sure and have an external fan controller of some kind for it.
