Overall Review: Loving this MSI Codex R2 as it's super quick with lots of RAM and the nice i5 processor. The price on newegg was also fantastic for the specs.

Pros: Login to setup VLANs and QOS on the switch Sturdy metal case to dissipate heat

Cons: None that I can think of

Great wired smoke detector

BRK Electronics - 3120B 120V AC Photo/Ion Smoke Alarm with Battery backup

Pros: Easy to install - replaced 6 of them in less than 1.5 hours Takes AA batteries which are much cheaper than 9V Works with my other alarms so that when one goes off they all ring.

Cons: None

Plug and go on Win 10

USB Wifi Adapter AC600 USB Wireless Adapter 2.4GHz/5GHz with inbuilt Antenna for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 MAC OS X 10.9-10.11

Pros: Easy to setup on my win 10 laptop; just plugged it in and it worked. Also speed was better with 5Ghz AC wifi than with 2.4Ghz built in wifi.

Cons: A bit odd that I can run built in wifi and USB wifi at the same time. Disabled internal wifi because this unit was better.
