PCIe Wireless WiFi 6 Adapter Card Dual Band 3000M with Bluetooth 5.0, RIITOP PCI Express to 3000M Card,Intel AX200 Chipest, 802.11ax MU-MIMO OFDMA For Desktop PC (Only work on Windows 10 64bit system)

Pros: Wifi 6 is fast

Cons: USB power cable can get in the way

Overall Review: Works well. Make sure you set your BIOS so that PCIE 16x slots aren't hogging your PCIE1x lanes or you won't see it come up in the device manager.

Most Critical Review

Filled with telemetry software

Synology 1-bay DiskStation DS124 (Diskless)
Synology 1-bay DiskStation DS124 (Diskless)

Pros: It works as a network drive just fine.

Cons: Absolutely filled with telemetry. The setup process asked me about 8 times to enable software I didn't want (google drive, onedrive, backup, telemetry etc). Even when disabled, it was still making connections to google servers despite automatic updated being disabled.

Overall Review: I had to block its internet connection on my router, and once that was done, the interface became extremely sluggish, as if connecting to google was required for the interface to work properly. If I knew it was going to act this way, I wouldn't have bought it.

The last SFF case i'm ever going to buy

Overall Review: It does everything and some. I drilled out every air flow perforation with a stepper bit to a slightly larger size. Helped with cooling massively.

Excellent small case for low powered PC's

RAIJINTEK METIS Aluminum M-ITX Case, USB 3.0* 2, Compatible with Standard ATX Power Supply, 170mm VGA Card Length, 160mm CPU Cooler Height, 120mm Performing Fan Pre-Installed, 7 Colors Option - Black

Pros: Small, compact all metal case.

Cons: Needed to put wifi antennas on the side window because the case is 100% enclosed in metal.

Overall Review: Don't put a monster gaming system in here unless you plan to cut out extra ventilation holes. I have an AIMB-273 with an i7 3740QM and a GTX 1660 which runs warm, but not hot under load (60c CPU, 78c GPU Prime95 & furmark). At idle, the temperatures are fine. I recommend flipping the single fan so it is intake, not exhaust. This alone dropped my temperatures almost 20c. I think this is what most people complain about.

Terrible. Don't buy.

FOREV FV-300 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combo Waterproof Keyboard+1600DPI Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: Keyboard worked longer than mouse.

Cons: Bad signal, mouse cuts out frequently. Mouse died in literally 2 days.

Good value, great keyboard.

Logitech Recertified 920-003887 G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Whisper-Quiet Keys
Logitech Recertified 920-003887 G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Whisper-Quiet Keys

Pros: Best layout for gaming or work. Adjustable back-light. Macros. Keys do not require too much pressure to activate (Cherry mx brown).

Cons: Caps lock is somewhat easy to hit if you're used to typing on a layout which has an indented caps lock. USB pass through does not work like a hub (-1 egg)

Overall Review: "Best layout for gaming or work." - Unix admin. I spend many hours on a keyboard. "USB pass through does not work like a hub" - However two female USB ports on the keyboard would have helped with my current setup on a KVM. Macros maKE DROPPING LOADS OF DOSH IN KILLING FLOOR 2 FUN. (I decided to not correct that fat finger, it's seriously really easy to hit that caps lock. I'm getting better with time.
