Most Favorable Review

Great wireless card!

Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE, Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Wi-Fi Adapter for Desktop, Up to 1300 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 600 Mbps (2.4 GHz) Wireless Data Rates, PCI-Express Interface, 3 x External Antennas

Pros: -Easy to install, hardware-wise as well as the included software -Great signal for being in an older house -Excellent throughput

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I moved into an older house recently, and due to the layout of the house, the only way I could connect my desktop is via Wi-Fi. I bought this to complement my Netgear AC1900 router and I have to say that it's performing way better than I had imagined for a wireless connection. I also didn't run into the driver issues cited in earlier reviews. Highly recommended!

Must-have for anyone looking to tidy up their workspace

Pros: -Plenty of length for all sorts of setups -Plenty of width -Easy to manipulate and trim

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I was looking for a good cable sleeve to clean up my computer desk at home and came across this one. Simple design, but it does wonders for cable management. The once horrifying octopus living behind my desk is no more. Very satisfied with this product.

Solid product - what else is there to say?

Overall Review: I picked up one of these for my desktop setup, as the included cables for my displays didn't offer very much mobility on the monitor arms I use. No quality or connectivity issues to note. Great cable for the price and wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

One of the best bargains for bigger monitors

Pros: -HUUUUUGE, even coming from 27" monitors -Includes DisplayPort cable right off the bat -Includes screws for VESA mounts -Great colors -Great picture overall -Color scheme matches perfectly with my computer case

Cons: -DisplayPort cable was a bit short -The included screws were a little short for comfort

Overall Review: Bought these to replace a couple sub-par 27" 4K displays that I had also bought on sale, and those things cannot hold a candle to these. For being a budget display, the colors are great, the refresh rate is a hundred times better than what I came from, and I had no intermittent connection issues that I had with the old displays. If I could make a couple small complaints, the included DisplayPort cable seemed a little short, unless you had your PC right next to your monitor (I had 10ft DisplayPort cables for my setup, anyway, so I didn't use them). The included VESA mounting screws were also a little short for my peace of mind and felt they were barely biting in with the monitor arms I use, so I ended up stealing the slightly longer screws from my old displays. With those two things mentioned, though, I'm still thoroughly satisfied with these and glad I got them at the price that I did. 10000000% recommended to anyone!

Great repeater for the price

Pros: -Super easy to set up -Range is fantastic for what I'm using it for -Amazing price compared to other bigger brands -Able to get full 100Mb down/20Mb up on internet connection

Cons: -Does get a bit warm as others have said (I keep it on an outlet by itself in a usually cool room so non-issue for me)

Overall Review: I bought two of these when it went on sale last and gifted one of them to my parents, as their older farmhouse tends to act as a giant faraday cage when it comes to Wi-Fi, and they would get no signal on their back patio by the opposite corner of the house from their router (not that far, in all actuality). I plugged this puppy in about halfway between in their back living area and I was able to get full bars even out to the farthest edge of their yard, all the while getting the full bandwidth on their internet connection. Not to mention it was stupid easy to set up, per the included instructions (once you get past a bit of the broken English). Overall I'm very impressed - almost surprised, even - with this product and can't wait to get it set up in my own home.

Great inexpensive SSD

Pros: -Way better speeds than the HDD it replaced -Easy to install

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought this along with 8GB of DDR3 to upgrade an aging laptop. Between both of these upgrades, it perked this laptop right up. A great option for the budget-minded.
