Most Favorable Review

A very modular case that can be converted.

Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black Brushed Aluminum / Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black Brushed Aluminum / Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: I turned mine into a 10 bay NAS server+VM plenty of space. I was worried about my huge Noctua 15 not fitting in but it did..

Cons: Mine came with a door that had a tiny knob broken off but Fractal sent me new door.

Overall Review: Interesting design, manufacturing and insanely well thought for noise suppression while being padded.

Most Critical Review

Crackling noise, electric, tesla like...

Rosewill RCI-401MS 400W DC To AC Power Inverter with one 2.1A USB Port

Pros: Cheap, inexpensive, 2 outlets, and 1 USB connector.

Cons: First day I plugged it in would start making weird noises. Not the fan but tesla coil noises (maybe short circuit), it was annoying, crackling sounds for the first 5-6 min. and after would go away. It only lasted about 2-3 weeks before it went dead. Checked fuse, was good but would not turn on anymore. Debating to buy local here @ BestB for same price minus the USB plug and be able to return same day if this happens again.

Overall Review: I RMA the item and wondering if I should get a replacement or get a better/bigger one.

I guess I was told that the CPU is really good especially at the price I got it.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000063WOF
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 105W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000063WOF

Pros: Only purchase this because it was on sale. I figured let me give AMD a try..

Cons: I don't know any yet. Except some of the new security issues that came out and the last 30 days but that affects Intel and AMD.

Overall Review: I'm happy overall with the purchase.

Stop working, barely used.

Pros: Small and that's about it. Ok Price.

Cons: I've searched high and low. I cannot format the darn thing because it is write protected. There is no switch or ways to go around it. From using Windows hacks, or PNY formatting/recovery utility with no success to using *Nix LIVE CDs to force it in a different operating system.

Overall Review: I am looking into contacting the Manuf. of SP and see if it is under the 1 year warranty. Don't have the packaging nor the 2nd unit.

Best one I had. Period

Pros: I got it as a gift back 2002-2003, and it finally gave up I think about a year and half to 2 years ago... anyway it lasted more than 7-8 years of almost daily usage.

Cons: I wish it had more buttons, and the usb insert would have been a little smaller.

Overall Review: That is a small price to pay for the bigger u s b insert. I am going to purchase another 1 today, because my dynex cheap mouse gave up, after 3 mo.

Great ultra-thin laptop, but you can do better.

SAMSUNG Series 9 900X3A-B01 Notebook Intel Core i5 2467M(1.60GHz) 13.3" 4GB DDR3 Memory 128GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 3000

Pros: Ultra thin, has a solid state drive which is a plus and it is very light. It's like using a MacBook Air but in black and has windows on it. It rated about 6.x on Windows if I recall correctly.

Cons: A little expensive for an I5, most have gone down in price. For this much I should be getting a I7. Plus the price here is 1,349.99 and if you go to Best Buy they have it for $1,199, that's a 150$ savings.

Overall Review: I will wait for the zen books, or acers to come out, and wait for additional price drop. Because of AMD's new chips, these will drop in price.
