Most Favorable Review

Good picture quality but back panel has design flaws.

ASUS 21.5" 75Hz IPS 1080P Monitor FreeSync/Adaptive-Sync, Full HD, Eye Care, HDMI VGA, Frameless, VESA Wall Mountable VP229HE
ASUS 21.5" 75Hz IPS 1080P Monitor FreeSync/Adaptive-Sync, Full HD, Eye Care, HDMI VGA, Frameless, VESA Wall Mountable VP229HE

Pros: - No extra ports (USB, sound, etc). Only 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, and 1 power port.

Cons: - Back of monitor is curved making it hard to properly secure the VESA mount without bending the mount. - Not enough space for cables causing unnecessary stress to be placed on the plugs.

Overall Review: - Will consider buying again.

Works with linux but missing 3.5mm audio jack

ASUS NUC 14 Pro Intel Core Ultra 5 125H RNUC14RVKU50000UI Slim PC Barebone W/ 2x DDR5 SO-Dimm Slots, US cord, Single Unit - Memory and Storage Sold Separately
ASUS NUC 14 Pro Intel Core Ultra 5 125H RNUC14RVKU50000UI Slim PC Barebone W/ 2x DDR5 SO-Dimm Slots, US cord, Single Unit - Memory and Storage Sold Separately

Pros: - Linux Mint 22 correctly detected the onboard video and both HDMI monitors on first boot. - Wired ethernet also works out of the box. - Did not test WiFi or Bluetooth.

Cons: Does not have a 3.5mm jack for my speakers. Need to get an HDMI audio/video splitter or a USB sound card.

Overall Review: Would be more likely to recommend this to other people if it had a 3.5mm audio jack.

Strong and stable rack

Pros: - Can be assembled by one person in about 45 minutes - Includes tools for assembly - Rack slots clearly marked - Shipping box arrived in very good condition. All parts for the rack where still in the box. One of the pictures I uploaded shows how to set the depth of the rack. In that picture, the rack is set for 27" deep.

Overall Review: Will consider buying another one if I need more space.

Solid construction

Overall Review: Unraid 6.9.2 detected and configured network adapter automatically.

Does not block any RAM slots on an ASRock B360 Pro4 motherboard.

Cooler Master Hyper H412R Compact CPU Air Cooler with 4 Copper Heat Pipes. 92mm PWM Fan, Direct Contact Technology for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA 1851/1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper H412R Compact CPU Air Cooler with 4 Copper Heat Pipes. 92mm PWM Fan, Direct Contact Technology for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA 1851/1200/1151

Pros: - Does not block any RAM slots on an ASRock B360 Pro4 motherboard unless your RAM sticks have cooling fins. - Fits in a 4U rackmount case with about an inch of space between the lid and top of cooling fins

Overall Review: Will probably buy again.
