Most Favorable Review

performs as expected

SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit CZ43 USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 130MB/s (SDCZ43-016G-G46)
SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit CZ43 USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 130MB/s (SDCZ43-016G-G46)

Pros: read speeds are great 120Mb/s

Cons: write speeds are no better than usb2.0 @ 5-6Mb/s

Overall Review: in the end, it's better to get a USB external SATA case fro your old 2.5 inch SSD, so much faster. but these work for installing windows or small files, or writing once and forgetting. not for everyday large file copies...

Most Critical Review

must be an AMD thing...

XFX Radeon RX 470 RS Triple X DirectX 12 RX-470P436BM 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card
XFX Radeon RX 470 RS Triple X DirectX 12 RX-470P436BM 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: the driver suit was nice, but the nVidia MSI burner worked better for this card??

Cons: constant heat!!!

Overall Review: I was an early buyer, drivers weren't that stable, and I really didn't like the constant 'finaggling' with the settings... it wanted more volts and hotter run time, and less aggressive fans just to run stable, freesync didn't work too well... in the end, I bought the MSI 1060 6gb and got rid of all the weird settings. don't recommend.

Works Perfectly in the case!!!

ORICO Q1-BK Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 10400 mAh Portable Charger External Battery Pack Power Bank for Phones, Tablet and More

Pros: I get 2 phone charges out of this guy, so I can last 3.5 days. 1.5hr charge time on a 2amp charger RAPID charges my LG v35 in 45 min!

Cons: one power port? can't charge and be charged at the same time.

Overall Review: Great battery, would buy from them again, and maybe for more ports.

As Expected

HP Z420 Workstation - Intel Xeon Six-Core Processor E5-1650 3.2 GHz - 8GB RAM – 250GB SATA Hard Drive - DVDRW – Quadro NVS 290 Video Card - Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit
HP Z420 Workstation - Intel Xeon Six-Core Processor E5-1650 3.2 GHz - 8GB RAM – 250GB SATA Hard Drive - DVDRW – Quadro NVS 290 Video Card - Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit

Pros: Correct Description E5-1650 0 3.2 GHz 2x 4 GB ram Win 10 Pro For $389 - free ship

Cons: The power LED is BRIGHT! Comes with CEP enable, I'm not in china. does not boot NVMe on the PCIe Slots... bummers...

Overall Review: This system is FAST, I benched marked this guy and got 11970 CPU Passmark score and single thread reached 2008 points!! I added my 1TB ssd for the C: , disconnected the 'spinner' 250gb and added another 1tb spinner I had lay'n around. Swapped in a spare 650gtx I had laying around, the NVS 290 is a joke, but I knew that when I bought it. I video encode on this guy and with a 1060 I reach 600+ fps for encoding, that's 85% gpu doing sound and 100% cpu for sound with media coder. I highly recommend this system for someone with a low budget, add a solid state, and you'll get years out of it, even with the NVS290

works great in my HP z420 workstation
