EVGA 04G-P4-2699-KR GeForce GTX 690 Hydro Copper Signature 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 04G-P4-2699-KR GeForce GTX 690 Hydro Copper Signature 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: This card is AMAZING, yeah it was expensive, as soon as i got it going i put it through every high powered game i could throw at it and it just ate them all up on MAX setting, tried a few benchmarks too and even maxed it never dropped below 58 ffp. started to play around with overclocking and the EVGA Percision X tool is incredible and with a great GUI. Temps are doing quite well, Room temp is about 80F right now and my GPU idle is 25C under heavy load it (ie running a bench mark while converting HD video) got to 42C. I love the dynamic boost system and makes for getting the desired results of overclocking really easy.

Cons: doesnt fold my laundry, waterblock LED doesnt work with the LED controls.

Overall Review: Evga makes some awesome stuff designed for overclocking, This Flag ship of a graphics card is a testiment to their dedication to quality. Some of the extras that came in the box were nice, ie T-shirt, gaming mouse pad and case stuff. i do wish they would roll the posters instead of folding them.

Okay design, HORRIBLE SUPPORT

Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI AMD Socket X570 AM4 Mini-ITX M.2 Desktop Motherboard A
Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI AMD Socket X570 AM4 Mini-ITX M.2 Desktop Motherboard A

Pros: - decent Bios GUI - Looks sleek - large quiet fan for SSD - Built in WiFi works great, comes with magnetic base external antenna.

Cons: - Failed after 6 months - Horrible support, no phone number only online form. Have been waiting a week and no reply - for a modern x570 board it is missing the USB 3.1 header for Type C.

Overall Review: This was my first time buying Gigabyte products, it will be my last.

MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G OC
MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G OC

Pros: - performs well - keeps cool - RGB

Cons: - heatsink shroud feels flimsy and cheap - GPU is fat... like from PCIe to outer edge. I was not able to put in my case and close the lid all the way. I even tried to take the side blower fan off and still didn't have enough room to close the lid. I had a 1080 FE in that case before and had to put it back to close it. I was putting it in a 4u rack case. - With the tight fit there was no way the side discharged cooling fans would be able to have enough airflow even with 2 2500rpm fans in front of the card.

Overall Review: best budget 2070 make sure you are using a large case to put it in.

A good attempt, but overall disapointed. Does not live up to the name "Comfort"

Tt eSPORTS GC-XCS-BBLFDL-01 Gaming Chairs
Tt eSPORTS GC-XCS-BBLFDL-01 Gaming Chairs

Pros: - It is for the most part well built. My favorite feature is the reclining - Large wheels seem durable and glide rather easily on carpet - The faux leather seems to be thick and of good quality - the tension piston is very smooth and adjustable. - the neck pillow is pretty decent along with the lumbar pillow. - all the seat adjustment points are very solid and smooth

Cons: I have 2 primary issues with this chair 1. The armrest are very lose and wobble and feels made of rather cheap plastic. The quality of the armrest does not match the rest of the chair. 2. Thermaltake claims the padding in high density moldable foam. Well its very high density but not moldable. The back rest is pretty dense but its okay for the back rest. The problem is the seat is very dense that it feels like I'm sitting on a wood bench. I am 6'1" at 250lbs and the foam doesn't budge at all. The Chair becomes very uncomfortable after about an hour just because of the seat. If the seat was of better cushion that did mold somewhat it probably would be very comfortable.

Overall Review: Overall I am disappointed with this chair and I was very excited about it and getting a nice ergonomic chair that I could game in comfortably for hours. I hope Thermaltake would actually do better trials with this. I based my decision to buy this chair on some of the reviews at CES 2017, but I doubt any of them sat in it for more than 5 minutes. At this point I would not recommend this chair, which I am very sadden to say.

EVGA TEGRA NOTE 7 Tablet - 16GB Flash, 1GB RAM Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 4
EVGA TEGRA NOTE 7 Tablet - 16GB Flash, 1GB RAM Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 4

Pros: You wont find anything better in the$ 150-$300 range so I own an Nvidia Shield and Asus Transformer Infinity (both with Tegra 4) So I read a lot of mixed reviews so here is mine - I was worried about the screen resolution as my phone is a 1080 and my tablet is a 2k, but as far as clarity it really is a non issue. thanks to it being an IPS screen it has vibrant colors and good viewing angles and acceptable brightness unless you are outside. yes you can see the screen lines in the right angle of light but I think that is part of the direct stylus tech. Speaking of which, I am amazed at the precision of this stylus. The pressure sensitivity is astounding. the only downside is that the tegra paint app is very limited and no one else seems to be taking advantage of this tech. I like to draw and if the right program were to be developed this could be perfect. It seems to be made pretty durable The Camera is decent, not great but not bad. It would probably perform better if it had a flash. Pure google, or at least as pure as you can get is great. and Nvidia has been very aggressive with updates, that is defiantly been great with the Shield and Note to know that unlike most tablets and phones they give up on updates after a few months. finaly it is FAST, just as you come to expect from the TEGRA 4 chip, it is always snappy even after I loaded up the screens with widgets and apps,

Cons: BATTERY LIFE. With all the horsepower that put in this thing and even with Tegra 4's battery power. for some strange reason they only put in an 1500mAh battery. To reference my HTC one (m7) that has a 2300mAh battery. I would have thought that there would have at least been a better battery in it. 4-6 hours seems to be the pretty common usable time on this. So I am disappointed that they would skimp on this. Speakers: I will say it is better that it has front facing speakers and the can put out some good volume, however over the years I have come to expect a lot from the NVIDIA pure Audio. Now once again I will compare to my HTC One that has a similar speaker form factor. The HTC one does have a better cleaner fuller sound, this is just done by better software control. So Nvidia did put some good speakers in this thing but they didn't tune it that well. I don't know if comparing it to the Nvidia Shield is fair but those speakers are quite incredible. Not only loud, but clean, and very well tuned. So I know they could do it. So it is still possible for the speakers to be better if they were to tune the software. So there were some review on the charging/USB port. I have found it to not be the best, but not that bad, However the charger that comes with the tablet and the USB cable are pretty cheap. I was expecting to get the same charger and cable that came with my NVIDA Shield, which I have been using the Shield charger and cable and it fits just great and charges fast.

Overall Review: So I have been using it for media streaming movies and music, and reading. Its very light so it makes for a great ereader and web browser and with stylus makes a great note taker. I would not plan on using this as a full day usage due to the battery, but if you are looking for the best budget tablet this is the tablet. It does out perform ipad mini's I did get the cover for it for free, it is not worth $30 but it was nice for free mostly as a screen protector and I do like the magnetic adjustable stand.

Pros: I tried a few diffrent monitors found 27 to be too big found 24 to be perfect. - frame rates are amazing - led are crisp and bright (way too bright on factory settings) - no screen tearing - no light bleeding - great contrast - nice even matte finish. i prefer matte to glossy - 3D vision is amazing... AMAZING

Cons: - Default settings are off - takes a while to get things setup as far as color, contrast and balanced those setting to 2d to 3d.

Overall Review: A truely amazing monitor. after everything is all calibrated Worth every penny. It did take me over a week to get settings close to good color and contrast. but once those got good everything is amazing.
