Most Favorable Review

Using for 10 days so far without issue

OLOy 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model ND4U1632161DB1DA

Pros: Seems to be plenty fast2x16 GB -- only 2 slots -- is great for expansion or 2-slot motherboardsNo problems installing, fitting, or booting

Cons: Wish the timings were just a little faster

Overall Review: I replaced 2x8 GB with these 2x16 GB to bring my total memory up to 48 GB. So far, absolutely no problems. This is my full-time workstation plus some weekend gaming machine and I've had no problems whatsoever. Completely stable. Ran memtest86 overnight and it passed. That took 7.5 hours for 48 GB on an i9 9900k, FYI. Very happy with these chips and the sale price that I paid.They're slightly slower in timings than the chips they are slotted with, which means everything slows to the slowest. But I haven't noticed any difference in usage. I suppose if I tried really hard to benchmark I could find a stat that suffered, but in day-to-day work usage they are great. I love having the RAM headroom when I really need it.

Most Critical Review

You get what you pay for

Rosewill RK500 Silver/Black 104 Normal Keys 9 Function Keys USB Wired Slim Multi-media Keyboard

Pros: Looks and feels like a laptop keyboard, minus the compact physical dimensions. But the keys feel like I expected.

Cons: Misses keys sometimes. And I don't mean I miss keys due to the feeling of it, I mean I can hit the return key twice very quickly and I only get one return on the screen. It's cheap. Spend more and get a better product.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for.

Solid for many months now

Pros: Just as fast as many other drives while being cheaper5 year warranty2 TB

Cons: Doesn't look cool (boohoo)

Overall Review: Great drive. I've been using it as a storage drive in my workstation for many months now without a single issue. I usually stick with Samsung for the boot drive, but have no problems with other brands for storage. This is 2nd only to Samsung IMO.

Great deal in gaming

Overall Review: This is a great deal for PC and Xbox gamers alike. I happen to be both, so I really like this service. I strongly suggest you buy a years worth during Black Friday sales at various retailers. You will save about 50%, which makes it an amazing value.

So far, great card for my needs. I'm happy.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GTX 1060 3GT OC
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GTX 1060 3GT OC

Pros: Got a great price on this card and am happy with the performance in the games I play. Specifically, Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft 2. Both running ultra quality at 1440p. There are frame drops in intense action but I think that's the nature of the engine in these games, not a graphics power problem. I don't hear any noises from it, even while playing games and the fans ramp up. I know they ramp up because MSI Afterburner shows me, but I don't hear them. No coil whine, no nothing. Afterburner also shows me that it boosts much higher than advertised. While playing the above games, it boosts the core clock to 1898 mhz and stays there the whole time. Temps never get crazy and the fans never go above about 60%. I'm very impressed and happy with the value.

Cons: The fans do NOT spin down when just doing 2d desktop stuff. This isn't a big deal because I can't hear them, but I would have liked this feature. This _may_ be because I have 3 screens connected to it, two 1080p and one 1440p. I haven't tested with just one screen to confirm, but I'm seeing elsewhere that it clocks lower than mine for other people, so it may clock higher and run fans for more than 1 monitor even at the desktop.

Overall Review: I am glad I did not pay more for the 6 GB version or even a 1070+. This thing suites my needs just fine.

Works well and looks good

GRIFFIN - PowerJolt for iPhone (BLACK)

Pros: Not much to say. It works well and looks good.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If you need a car-charger for iPhone (or whatever else it's compatible with), this one looks good doing the job. It has a green and orange light to indicate what it's doing. It's one of the sexier chargers I've seen.
