New life for old PC

GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2GB, GV-N1030D5-2GL

Pros: My buddy gave me a Dell Optiplex PC that was being thrown away by his company. I upgraded the ram from 4gb to 8, added a cheap used Core 2 Quad processor from a Pentium Dual Core, added a new SSD instead of the old HDD, and threw in THIS GPU (Intel onboard graphics were very slow on this office PC). The GT 1030 has given this old Windows XP office PC the ability to play relatively new games at medium to high settings and resolution (not to mention very responsive Windows 10 operations), and it's essentially a low end gaming PC now. Slightly older games like GTA 5, Rocket League, Skyrim, Tomb Raider 2013, and many emulators, as well as 4k YouTube and Netflix all run fantastic. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I love this low profile beast

Pros: My buddy gave me a 12 year old, discarded Dell Optiplex 755 office PC that his company was throwing away. I threw one of these cards into it and transformed the performance of the old computer. Was able to play GTA 5 and Doom and many other games on medium settings. It also is very good with video editing on Sony Vegas. I would highly recommend if you have an older PC that you want to breathe new life into. It's very low on power consumption as well.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of. Virtually no complaints.

Overall Review: 10/10, no bias. It's a powerful card.

Pros: It works great on windows 7. No complaints. I get all 5 bars, and a very stable connection.

Cons: Nothing to complain about. Most of the people on this site have a low knowledge base on computer technology. I see no problems.

Overall Review: ASUS is to be trusted!

Good Case

Pros: It has 2 front USB ports which come in handy, both 120mm fans run great. Was big enough to fit my super huge Sapphire 5830 card. Excellent!

Cons: The hard drive scaffold setup is rather stupid, I couldn't fit it in the recommended way and had to improvise but it was easy. No real instructions but like I said, it was an easy workaround. Nothing else I can say is wrong.

Overall Review: Buy it, excellent for the price!

Great Fan Great Price

Pros: 4500 rpm= 100% cpu usage 24/7. Fan fit perfectly. 478 socket's dream come true.

Cons: Clamps are a little hard to snap in. Takes some concentration. No real cons i guess.

Overall Review: I used this fan to replace a 3500 rpm fan that was no longer doing the trick in my extremely warm room. This fan has made a huge improvement on my cpu and i may now overclock it to 2.6ghz from 2.13 ghz without any hint of heat.
