DisplayPort Cable,DP Cable 10ft(3m) [4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz, 2K@144Hz], Display Port Cable 1.2 High Speed DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable Compatible 3D, Laptop, PC, Gaming Monitor

Pros: -10ft long so I can sit my computer two ultrawide monitors across the desk on the wall -DisplayPort functional, lock in place so they're harder to pull out or dislodge -Good price -Arrived in estimated Newegg free-shipping timeframe -Quality is at least on-par with most cables monitor I've seen

Cons: -Did not include autographed bikini photo of Princess Leia or pro-golfer/model Paige Spirinac -Quality is at least on-par with most monitor cables I've seen

Overall Review: Good cables at good price. Would purchase again.

Most Critical Review

Good, but not for gaming/intensive use

Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000 MB/s - CT1000P1SSD8
Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000 MB/s - CT1000P1SSD8

Pros: Inexpensive, fast.

Cons: Small cache means it stutters and slows down when reading/writing large amounts of data. NOT recommended for gaming!

Overall Review: I built my son a new gaming PC from parts. Went together well, then it stuttered playing graphic intensive games. Through testing and google searches, we learned the cache is too small on this NVMe SSD to really use it's high read/write speed, except for short bursts. After two days of testing, It seems to work well for an Operating System (OS) and general use, but it lags/can't keep up when playing graphic intensive games (ex. Monster Hunter World is almost unplayable, 10 fps even at the lowest settings). When we moved the game files to a much slower HDD, things suddenly worked well, and the frame rates jumped up to 30-60 fps again. This is not what I expected from a Crucial brand product. I've used their SSD's for a few years with no problems like this. So, hence 3 stars. The price is right and it works, but doesn't live up to my expectations, or the competition.

Worked great straight out of the box

Pros: -Good Price for portable 1080P screen -Good-to-decent brightness -Easy setup (HDMI inputs, USB powered) -Magnetic protective cover for transport -Thin, easy to put in laptop carry bag -Includes set of the most used cables

Cons: -Protective cover doubles as stand (magnets slip easily, not easy to understand how it sets up) -60 Hz refresh rate (Great as 2nd screen, adequate gaming use)

Overall Review: -Great for the price. -Has held up to desktop use for 2 months now with no problems.

Good case, better mechanical design would make this a great case.

Fractal Design Core 1000 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Core 1000 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: Nice medium size, internal wiring marked well, comes with good sized cooling fan, like the recessed power button that I won't hit with my foot when the case is on the floor.

Cons: Design is lacking. Internal components not arranged to make installation easy. Micro-ATX board fit, but was so tight I had problems getting the motherboard to slip into the I/O panel plate. The screws holding the peripheral expansions are set inside the outer case edge support, so you can't get a screwdriver to set straight into them - same with some of the motherboard holding screws. The wire mesh inserts that fill the 3.5" and 2.5" bays have sharp, pointy edges, risking small cuts to your hands when you remove them.

Overall Review: All in all, a good purchase. But a little better mechanical design would make this a great case.

Nice for the price

Rosewill ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case, Supports up to 400 mm Long VGA Card, Comes with Two Fans Pre-installed - Front 120 mm Fan x 1, Rear 120 mm Fan x 1 - TYRFING
Rosewill ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case, Supports up to 400 mm Long VGA Card, Comes with Two Fans Pre-installed - Front 120 mm Fan x 1, Rear 120 mm Fan x 1 - TYRFING

Pros: - Tons of room for large graphic cards, CPU coolers, multiple hard drives & peripherals - Open air flow, up to 6 large case fans (or 3 fans plus a liquid cooling unit) - Both side panels open for easy access to and install of case components - Includes screws, zip ties and motherboard mounting standoffs - Everything worked straight out of the box - Black color motif looks modern, doesn't attract attention

Cons: - No 3.5" internal bay front panel access (for multi-card reader) - Would have liked a second USB 3.0 port on the front panel access, maybe a "hard drive in use light", and a micro-SD reader would be nice, too. - Tool-less install still requires a screwdriver (to do it right) - Blue power-on LED is piercingly BRIGHT - Black color motif looks generic

Overall Review: For a budget case, this one is hard to beat. Everything worked, fans are quiet, install was about as easy as they come due to the spacious case, and easy to take off front and side panels.

Great overall purchase

GIGABYTE Z370XP SLI (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE Z370XP SLI (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Easy install, worked straight out of the box. I like the red LEDs that light up the back of the board.

Cons: Memory slots are numbered oddly (3,2,1,4?) and only accept memory in specific configurations when using 1, 2 or 3 cards. It took some Google searching to install my 2 RAM slots and get my first boot-up. I also had to really search fine print in the manual to see that only one of the two M.2 slot worked with a non-PCI-E / regular SSD.

Overall Review: The board is an odd size to me, not full-size ATX, but not mini either. I liked the low price, and it's been working reliably for a month now. It seated my new Intel Core i7-8700 CPU w/o a hitch. If only Windows 10 had been as accommodating.
