Great Option to Consider

Pros: I've had this cord for several days now, and I couldn't be happier. I dealt with 480i for years and now I'm playing in 1280x1024, and will never go back. If you are considering buying this but are unsure of whether its worth 40$ or not, then let me tell you it IS. I'm using a 17' CRT monitor and the picture is waaay better then 480i. Do yourself a favor and order this, you won't be disappointed.
Cons: none thus far.
Overall Review: If you are considering buying the 12$ Chinese knock off, don't, the picture is horrible, and the cable itself has awful shielding. Ir took mine 5 days to arrive, but thats because I ordered it right before memorial day. And it comes with a gender changer for the VGA plug, in case your monitor, like mine, is a little old and doesn't have the ports on it. It also has a red-white plug to headphone jack converter.
Good value laptop

Pros: SSD Fairly modern AMD processor 16GB ram Sufficient connectivity
Cons: Pretty sure the display is a TN panel due to poor viewing angles.
Overall Review: I bought this laptop for my wife to use with her college school work. She primarily uses her duel monitor desktop, but the laptop adds a lot of flexibility to her workflow. I feel this laptop fits our needs nicely. Not too expensive for what is essentially a "nice to have, but not strictly needed". While also being expensive/powerful enough to actually be useful and snappy for the foreseeable future. (AKA not throwaway E-waste). I do wish the viewing angles were batter for small toss around laptop, but at this price point it is an understandable trade off.
Fantastic screen for the money, very satisfied customer!

Pros: This screen has really nice colors and a high refresh rate, build quality is high, and the OSD menus are well made and easy to use. Also it has free sync premium, which includes “LFC” which means the adaptive sync will work well below the 48hz minimum listed. Also, I can confirm that free sync on this monitor works with an Nvidia graphics card. In the Nvidia control panel, it lists that there are no G-sync compatible screens hooked up, but the option is still there to enable G-sync, and it works once you do. My guess is that since this monitor is quite new, it’s model number hasn’t been included in Nvidia's driver logs, but it works fine nonetheless. I absolutely recommend this monitor.
Cons: I have 1/3 of a stuck pixel to the right of the screen center. It’s not the whole pixel, just the red portion of it. But I’m not bothered by it since it’s so small that you can only notice it if you look for it. The blacks aren’t that great, they are better than my previous screen, but I do have a wee bit of backlight bleed around the corners. I’ve heard that “VA” panels produce deeper blacks than IPS screens, but I really wanted the vibrant colors of IPS.
Overall Review: So for context, this is my first IPS panel, I came from an ASUS ROG 1440p 144hz G-sync TN panel, and the difference in color is incredible! I didn’t realize just how washed out my colors had been before. I haven’t really tried the HDR in games yet, but from reading about display HDR400 online, it’s probably not that much different from using this monitor in non HDR mode. And frankly, if you REALLY want a “good” HDR experience you are going to pay BIGTIME. The main reasons I replaced my previous screen is that I am in the process of rebuilding my rig, and am building my girlfriend a rig from my old parts. I plan to get an RX 6800XT(if reviews are good) and my older G-sync display wouldn’t have worked with an AMD card(it technically would, but I would lose adaptive sync functionality.) so I pulled the trigger on this display. In a perfect world, where I didn’t care how much I spent on my rig, I would have bought a 4K, 32”, 120hz, DisplayHDR1000 screen with like a zillion local dimming zones, but for something like that you are looking at THOUSANDS of dollars..
Great value, able to throttle speed on all my case/radiator fans.

Pros: Inexpensive, works as intended, comes with two sided tape already applied.
Cons: N/A
Overall Review: I just bought a new phanteks enthoo pro II case, and installed my custom water loop to it. Before I was running very cheap, slow, quiet fans on the rad so they were pretty quiet even full speed. For this upgrade I bought MUCH better, high static pressure rad fans, and while they move a ton of air full speed, they are waaay to loud. I ended up snagging this fam controller to remedy that issue, I got the SATA power powered version since I have plenty of sata power cables to spare with my rig. All four of my radiator fans, and three of my case exhaust fans are plugged into the controller. This card comes with a wired plug that goes from the controller to your CPU-fan header on the mother board, this is where the controller gets its signal to speed up and slow down the fans based on temperature. With my motherboard I could also hook that plug to one of the system fan headers then configure that header in the bios to function as a de facto CPU fan header if I couldn’t reach the normal slot due to controller placement and or not enough cable length. I would highly recommend this fan controller if you’ve got a lot of fans in your system and want them to be quiet when your system isn’t under a load.
Decent mouse/low price

Pros: This moues is quite comfortable to use, it has a nice rubberized matte finish, the buttons have a very precise, quality click, and the RGB leds are pretty.
Cons: I meant to give this 3 or 4 stars because the mouse I received is a G102 instead of a G203 like is advertised. But for the price I paid I'm okay with it.
Overall Review: I would recommend this mouse if you are not in a hurry to get it, and want to save a few bucks in the process.
Great Future proofing! (Still great after three years)

Pros: +Radiator is MASSIVE +Ports located on both sides of the radiator for easy hose routing. +Copper and Brass (Aluminum with copper heatsinks can cause reactions that form gunk in water loop). +You can mount up to 8(4 on each side) fans on this badboy, I have 4 fans pushing and 4 fans pulling.
Cons: N/A
Overall Review: This radiator is probably massive overkill for most gaming rigs(including my own), but its nice to know that if I ever want to drop another card(GTX 1070) in SLI mode, that I will have plenty of cooling capacity to do so. My loop cools an Intel 7600k Kaby Lake i5 CPU, and an water cooled Nvidia GTX 1070, my temps sit around 47C under 100% utilization stress tests/benchmarks.
EK quality
I really like EK products, my newest velocity water block is very sleek visually, and is quite heavy, indicating lots of copper, which is of course good for pulling heat away from your die, and transferring it to your water stream. What is also nice is they didn’t screw around processing my order and getting it into the mail.
Prompt shipping/trusted quality
I ordered a 750 watt PC power and cooling power supply to run an rtx 3080, I probably won’t get my hands on the card for sometime but at least I’ll be ready for it. P.C.P&C processed the sale, and got my item shipped nice and quick. This unit replaced a 610 watt P.C.P&C. unit with about 12 years worth of usage on it. I never had problems with voltage stability and that old PSU is going into my girlfriends gaming rig for a second life. I sought out the my new PSU specifically because I trust P.C.P.&C.
Good value
I ordered a Logitech mouse internationally, so I was expected the shipping to take a long time, which it did, but not as bad as I've experienced before. I did read a few seller reviews alleging they received counterfeit/knock off goods but my mouse seems legit, and met my expectations so I'm happy 'shrug'. When my tracking number showed that my package had been in the same place(about 50 miles from my house) for the better part of a week, I messaged Coolyoubuy and they responded quickly, and the mouse arrived within a day or two.
