MSI another great board
Pros: Easy to setup. Instead of a motherboard manual, a poster is provided to easily connect front panel and light headers. The disk provided is sweet. It has a one-click setup that displays the directory tree so any unwanted item can be removed. This board has +1, and the standard 32bit pci slot, also a pci video expansion slot.
Cons: I had a problem with this board (I have built three of these lately); the system would freeze upon restart call. Press power 5 seconds, and system starts fine. Choose 'Shutdown' and system would shut down. Here is the good part; the tech from MSI worked with me until this was eventually solved by update bios (six emails, and process of elimination, etc) I am very happy with MSI support process overall, they really took ownership on my side. Thanks so much for that.
Overall Review: I am really liking MSI because of the most eggcelent support, the products do have 'Style with Innovation', and are a pleasure to own.
Not that good
Pros: It comes with a cool stand to charge it. Fits my ear well. looks ok.
Cons: at first (one month), it worked pretty good. Now, it has about a 1ft range. Persons I am talking to say "your breaking up" if I even turn my head with my phone on the desk right in front of me. I will need to get a headset that works better since I need to use it alot.
Overall Review: I had a good experience with my plantronics 520 that lasted several years, but this one has been a poor performer.
Excellent processor from Intel
Pros: Has no problem with daily computing. I seldom have time for games so not the source for that kind of info.
Cons: None yet- this beast behaves well. It's an Intel & I really like them.
Overall Review: Well priced, powerful computing, long life expectancy. System requirements will likely change before this ever gets close to wearing out (of course you could go Linux and give it many more years) Thermal grease should be changed every few years for optimal life.
Reliable USB drive
Pros: I have used ADATA drives (among others) for over 20 years. This drive will be for copying image(s) for research, and support of my clients as a utility drive. >Plugged & posted as expected very fast. Nice appearance.
Cons: There are no cons to report. The drive has everything; price, performance, small end opening for a lanyard or tiny key ring.
Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend this product/& buy again. It is just what I needed as it sits. So no improvement to suggest right now. Thanks NewEgg, and ADATA
MSI PC Matey
Pros: It is now on the 5th year of flawless service. CoolerMaster Elite mid tower case, i5 3.4ghz, ddr3 1866 (8gb), MSI GeForce 750ti, 2 wd 500gb with the onboard raid since day one (raid0) wd 1t backup onboard drive (also have the external wd my passport 2t to backup the backup with calendar reminder) Thermaltake 750w ps. 2 dvd burners, sound blaster xfinity, Win10 Pro. I am using this pc about ten+ hours everyday. It has been a great ride, and still going.
Cons: _none_
Overall Review: yes. Any company that actually reads comments, and helps is a-ok in my book. thank you NewEgg, & MSI peace to you The Computerguy of Tacoma
Good usb wifi
Pros: Plugged the adapter in & in about 10 seconds Win10 Pro installed it. Used the kb shortcut win + x to navigate to 'network adapters' and joined my network within another 5 seconds. Very fast. I ran a speedtest disabling the onboard lan adapter which is gigabit speed rated (wired), and the wifi. Both test were within 1% the device details report connected at 896mbs. Looks cool, fits on my hub without blocking other devices. That is a lot of headroom for my current pipe is 20\5 down\up.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would recommend this product. I have tried several units of this type and this one has the best features, and appearance. Since it is warranty for 3 years, I went on Trendnet and easily registered the adapter.
Great Tool if you have sata drives to manage. Backup
From my work in IT I end up with a collection of random ssd, drives that still fit this item. It allows a drive to mounted in Windows, Linux, Mac, or what ever so you can view files, backup files, and format/wipe the drive to be ready for use again. The Adapter was nice looking with the blue, and worked as expected. No cons ~ thank you Namaste~
Easy to do business with
The Crucial memory came in a box lined with a foam insert protecting the memory. Works great! Excellent. Thank you so much, peace. StevenO
well packed, wish it worked
the 'tech' specs have become sales 'specs'. how disappointing. I was trying to get my 2015 MSI pc to run win11.
