Most Favorable Review

Excellant product

TRENDnet TEW-AIO70B 7dBi Indoor Omni Direction Antenna
TRENDnet TEW-AIO70B 7dBi Indoor Omni Direction Antenna

Pros: Does exactly what it says, it boosts reception for WiFi. It increased the range of my pci adapter by at least 200 feet. I can use my sister's WiFi router across the street and get 3 bars.

Cons: None

Unhappy

Crucial M4 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT128M4SSD2
Crucial M4 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT128M4SSD2

Pros: Reasonably fast, easy to install.

Cons: Drive failed after 11 months, and the replacement drive they sent me failed after 9 months. They were also very slow to replace the drives after I RMA"d them.

Good card but has drawbacks.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 XC GAMING, 6GB GDDR6, HDB Fan Graphics Card 06G-P4-2063-KR
EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 XC GAMING, 6GB GDDR6, HDB Fan Graphics Card 06G-P4-2063-KR

Pros: Fast, reasonably quiet, plays AAA games like BF V and Metro: Exodus at playable FPS with ray tracing on.

Cons: Card runs hot, hits max temp and throttles.

Overall Review: Not much of an upgrade over a GTX 1070, unless ray tracing becomes more common.

Good Budget board

GIGABYTE Z370P D3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE Z370P D3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I put a I5-8600K in it. The EasyTune overclocking app is awesome. OC'd it to 4.8Ghz 1.35v no problem. VRM temps were in the 48c range.

Cons: Could have used more Sysfan headers, 3 of them isn't really enough nowdays. The bios fan control doesn't allow custom settings.

Overall Review: Good board for a good price. Paid $106.00.

Great Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6173-KR, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

Pros: Fantastic card, big improvement over my GTX 970. Runs Witcher 3 at 75fps average set on Ultra 1440p. Temps are good, around 75c at full load.

Cons: Mine doesn't OC well, can only do +150 of base clock, and +200 on memory.

Very good monitor

Pros: Arrived next day air from Korea. No dead pixels. Overclocked to 120hz easily. Stand seems plenty sturdy. Came with DVI-D cable. Color/Contrast was good out of the box. All in all I am very satisfied with it.

Cons: None
