Most Favorable Review

Good monitor, great value.

Philips 243V7QJAB 24" Monitor, Full HD 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz Refresh Rate, Edge-to-Edge IPS, Built-in Speakers, VESA
Philips 243V7QJAB 24" Monitor, Full HD 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz Refresh Rate, Edge-to-Edge IPS, Built-in Speakers, VESA

Pros: Easy to set up, output options, decent speakers.

Overall Review: I ordered 2 units and neither one had any dead pixels on arrival. The bezels are fairly thin and the menus are easy to navigate. Colors look good and it has all the output options I needed. I don't use the speakers, but when I first set up the rig it defaulted to the monitor speakers and I was pleasantly surprised. The sound depth wasn't comparable to my surround sound system obviously, but if you only use these with a workstation and not to listen to music or video all day I imagine they would be just fine.

Most Critical Review

little dremel goes a long way

Spire SP207 Ball VGA GPU Cooler
Spire SP207 Ball VGA GPU Cooler

Pros: keeps card very cool, great price to oc new life into an older card

Cons: installed on a Radeon 9600 it hit 2 caps on the card but i just drilled some holes in the heatsink and it slipped right over the top works great now.

Overall Review: may take an adventurous spirit but it can be made to work wonderfully

Plenty of outlets

TRIPP LITE Line Interactive ECO1300LCD UPS with USB and 10 Outlets - 120V, 1300 VA, 720 Watts, ECO Series

Pros: Plenty of outlets compared to most units at this price point

Cons: The master/slave setup is not configurable. I didn't expect it to be but this would be a nice addition.

Overall Review: The warning light indicating a miswired outlet always flashes even though I have verified that everything is fine on multiple outlets it has been tried on.

As expected

Intel Core i7-4790K - Core i7 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I74790K

Pros: Nice boost to get more years out of 1150 systems

Cons: Price is high for the performance

Overall Review: I can only see this being useful today if you have an old 1150 systems and are bottlenecked by the processor.

Works well Applicator is nice

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Grease Paste - 11.1 Grams

Pros: Applies well and seems to work fine.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I don't have any way to test the thermal conductivity, but it was easier to apply with the included tip than my Arctic Silver 5. I have had no heat issues with the chips.

Maybe you will get a product, maybe not.

I ordered the item with 8-15 business day shipping, it has been 22 business days. Last I looked and emailed them their internal shipping showed the package in 2 different places having been handed off to USPS. USPS said they were still waiting to receive it. After telling them they missed the timeline I needed it in and they wouldn't tell me where it was all they offered was for a discount in the future. I will never order from them again. COVID does not explain why no one can figure out if my item is in CA or IN. UPDATE: The item eventually showed up, it's not the quality the description led me to believe but that's a different issue. The seller was not helpful though the shipping process never offering updates as things were delayed, claiming when contacted that it was due to COVID. That does not excuse a lack of any communication and not updating your advertised shipping timelines if you know things are delayed. They will also endlessly pester you to delete your negative reviews with sad stories about how they are a small business and your reviews hurt them. Luckily their explicit instructions on how to delete the review showed me how to add this edit as well. As a small business owner as well I encourage you to spend more time reviewing your CS policies and less time trying to guilt your dissatisfied customers into changing reviews. Also offering discounts on future purchases to people who will never buy from you again does not help mend any bridges.

On time shipping, original packaging

The shipping was timely, but it was sent in only its original package. I would have preferred a more mundane box for a computer monitor to make it less likely to disappear in the porch pirate age.
