dang nice card

ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 Overclocked 4GB Dual-fan Edition HDMI DP 1.4 DVI Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1650-O4G)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 Overclocked 4GB Dual-fan Edition HDMI DP 1.4 DVI Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1650-O4G)

Pros: I got this almost on a whim - an open box unit for about half price. I don't play the "latest" games, so it runs all my older games at full res/settings on a 65" TV. Latest game I have is Witcher 3 which is runs well at high settings.

Cons: The fans are a little annoying - even when playing really old DOS games like Wing Commander or simple games like Incredible machine the fans spin up and down at random times. The system is across the room next to the TV and even at that distance they're a little annoying. I'm sure it'd be worse if I was closer to the system.

Overall Review: If you don't mind the fans, it seems like great card. An improvement over the Geforce 1050 it replaced.

Most Critical Review

Not worth it

ADATA 32GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-32G-RBY)
ADATA 32GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-32G-RBY)

Pros: Inexpensive, colorful.

Cons: Doesn't seem to last like previous Adata products I have.

Overall Review: I bought 3 of the Adata 16GB USB Sticks a couple of years ago for my work use, and they're still working fine. I have to clear and re-write them every few months to use for loading systems. I Started running out of space on them so I picked up 3 of the 32GB sticks. So far, 2 of the 3 have failed. I have a few other Adata USB drives I bought a few years ago for home use and they're still working fine too.

Overall Review: Bought three of these to replace some Adata drives that died a quick death. They've been in regular use for over a year and are still going strong.

Pros: Steps you through everything. Allows you to skip the above if you know more of what you're doing.

Cons: if I buy the Federal and State, you'd think I could e-file both, but you have to pay separately for e-filing state.

Overall Review: I've been using Turbo Tax for years since I got tired of paying someone else to do my taxes.

Overall Review: I bought this to upgrade the storage in an older HP tablet/system. It didn't seem to speed anything up, but all the extra space is nice.

Great system for the price

Pros: - Huge update from my previous Athlon 4x/4gb 1650. - Boots amazingly fast. - Runs all my games at ultra - Runs quiet even when playing graphics heavy games

Cons: - Apparently the fans are not hooked up so they can be software controlled. Not really a con for me as the button on the case works for changing the fans. But it doesn't control the CPU or GPU LEDs.

Overall Review: The first system I got was damaged. The clip from the rear of the GPU slot was loose in the case so I had to remove the card to replace it. After starting it the first time, there were green lines all over the screen. They'd go away while in BIOS, then re-appear in Windows. Tried different HDMI cables but didn't help. Called ABS, and the tech was suspicious of the card slot since the clip was off, so they opted to ship me a whole new system. Even set me up for two-day shipping for it! Great customer service. Second system arrived and works perfectly. I don't play the latest games, and I have the system hooked up to a 75" LG TV through HDMI. Prey and Elex are running Ultra settings and are smoooooth. Haven't tried Witcher 3 as yet, as I usually concentrate on one game at a time and it's Elex at the moment. On both of my systems Windows was already activated so that wasn't an issue as some have had. My advice to ABS - build and test the system, then remove the GPU and ship it outside the system. Most people should be able to at least put it in themselves, and it would save some issues with rough handling during shipping.

Good price and devent delivery

For the distance it's coming from, delivery time was good - better than I've had with other things coming from there.

Definitely good

The unit arrived on time, and even though it's a refurb, it looks new, no scratches, scuffs or cracks. Seems to be working fine so far, but I'll probably reflash with dd-wrt after a couple months.
