Most Favorable Review

Suprisingly powerful

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N105TOC-4GD
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N105TOC-4GD

Pros: -doesn't need an external power source -benchmarked high for its price

Cons: -bought during a price hike.

Overall Review: I was surprised when I bought this at how well it runs. I bought this to upgrade a computer for my brother's birthday, probably one of my better newegg purchases. Runs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on high with about 90 frames average.

Most Critical Review

Good cooler when it works properly

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Keeps the CPU lower than average, better than stock coolers

Cons: Assembly came and it didn't mount properly, had to jury rig it to fit on the Motherboard

Overall Review: Watch out when buying this cooler because while it says it fits all Intel CPUs, it sometimes wont mount properly. Because of this I had to jury rig the cooler to mount it into the motherboard, other than that it is nice and quiet. Keeps the I5 I have overclocked at a low temp, at the same time my PC does sit in a pretty cold room at about 60F (its winter).

Good budget PoE+ Switch

NETGEAR 24-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch with PoE+ (190W) (GS724TP)
NETGEAR 24-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch with PoE+ (190W) (GS724TP)

Pros: cheap poe+ pretty easy management UI with auto timeout enabled as default

Cons: Lack of CLI just SFP not sfp+

Overall Review: pretty good switch, to get this many managed ports, with poe+ no less, you aren't going to get a better deal. as for CLI and web managment. as far as i am aware there isnt a CLI for this switch which is a shame. i find it much faster to use when configuring switches. the Web UI was a bit clunky and all tutorials online are from over a decade ago but its two positives are built in help tools to each component and the WebGui is very similar to the old ones from a decade ago in functionality if not color

Pretty easy set up

ASUS RT-AX55 AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 Gigabit Router, 802.11ax, Lifetime internet security, Parental Control, Mesh WiFi support, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, Beamforming
ASUS RT-AX55 AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 Gigabit Router, 802.11ax, Lifetime internet security, Parental Control, Mesh WiFi support, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, Beamforming

Pros: -good amount of configuration Lots of options that are not only easy to enable. But normally come with an explanation for network newbies. Good range and WiFi speed for price.

Cons: Probably can't handle a lot of routing. Every setting change took 20-40 seconds to apply

Overall Review: Honestly I didn't expect much from ASUS when it came to a router. They really went above and beyond what I expect at this price range. Installed for a friend who has a good mix of IOT devices. Smart TVs. And six people living in his home. It seems to deliver good performance across the entire house. My only small complaint besides setting changes taking awhile is the router is pretty much at capacity running his house.

Pros: every screw bit you'd need and normally one spare.flexible drill bit for tough cornerslightly magnetic bit.

Cons: case is pretty fragile, broke a plastic retainer taking out the tweezersthe magnetic mat was pretty useless,

Overall Review: honestly I got this cheap and the quality of the actual tools was way better than I expected, wish the mat was actually magnetic though.
