Please Folks,

ADATA S510 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AS510S3-120GM-O
ADATA S510 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AS510S3-120GM-O

Pros: Nice

Cons: None

Overall Review: Pease folks !!!! If you buy a 120 GB SSD why do you put that as a con, or a micro ATX board and put it as a con because it's small. These kind of reveiws do not help. Also please do some research before you buy. To many folks buy something and complain because the features aren't what they wanted, well buy one that is. To the guy below, if you need more SSD then buy a bigger one don't put it as a con. Use your head so these reveiws actually help buyers, not confuse them or get them upset, like me, sorry.

Good little camera

EZVIZ Mini HD 720p Wi-Fi Home Security Camera with Motion Detection, 130 Degree View, Night Vision, Works with Alexa and Google Home Using IFTTT (Special Offer 12 Month Cloud Storage w/ 7 Day Playback)
EZVIZ Mini HD 720p Wi-Fi Home Security Camera with Motion Detection, 130 Degree View, Night Vision, Works with Alexa and Google Home Using IFTTT (Special Offer 12 Month Cloud Storage w/ 7 Day Playback)

Pros: It's Wifi so no hassling with running wires. Very secure, (this causes some issues though, see cons) Not hard to mount with the mounting hardware that is OK Easy set-up (On PC)Video quality is OK Voice is OK, not great but OK Seems to have solid build quality Very nice looking. Cloud storage with playback, not overly complicated to use.

Cons: I could not for the life of me get this to work with the app for my phone. I believe it has to do with being overly cautious about security but not 100% sure. It asked me for my phones password in order to try and change the device password which bothered me beyond belief and I was not able to change the password to one of my choosing because I kept getting told I entered the wrong password (the password that was given with the device) no matter how many times I entered it, hence I was unable to get the App for wireless devices to work. I did get it to work perfectly on my PC which is just fine but EZVIZ really needs to get on top of the mobile App or for a lot of people this will be useless. It gets hot very fast, this could be a problem with longevity, I will have to see.

Overall Review: This could have been a 5 Egg product if the mobile App was at all usable. It's a shame but this could be solved with some work on the App and may be in the future.

Brilliant!

CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM850x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply
CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM850x Shift Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply

Pros: The most obvious PRO is the connectors feeding out of the back side of the PSU. This makes cable management so much easier for most use cases. Unfortunately it won't do me any good in my main rig because it's a Core P3 but it fit's great in my streaming rig. At 160mm long and 150mm wide it's small enough for a large majority of builds. Solid construction and quality components as always with Corsair No real noise at low to medium power draw, if you have any fans at all you should never here this unit. I really like the new micro connectors. Compared to these the old connectors seem big and clunky. Plenty of stable power for today's mid and upper-mid-range systems An included 12 pin for NVidia's nutty new graphics card connection. Just my opinion NVidia, sorry. Nice 120mm fan w/ fluid dynamic bearing. Very stable power. My own way of checking this due to not having an expensive testing rig is to keep track of the power delivery under various loads. As usual with Corsair all of the rails, 3.3v 5v and 12 volt all stay well within specs on my unit.

Cons: I am trying to think of one but after many PSU reviews I just can't seem to find one.

Overall Review: I would think Corsair/Newegg would make it easier to understand what the "Shift" is all about. It's not very apparent in the add here. Having said that I think shifting the connections to the back-side of the unit is "Brilliant". As II said though, it doesn't fit my main rig and I am sure won't work in a select few. Another GREAT PSU from Corsair... Innovative, up to date and solidly built as usual.

Greqat But.....

Fractal Design Focus 2 Black ATX mATX Mini ITX Clear Tinted Tempered Glass Mid Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Focus 2 Black ATX mATX Mini ITX Clear Tinted Tempered Glass Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is a great case for the price. Fractal has always done me right. Easy to build in good front and back panel designs, plenty of room for MOST stuff, (more on that in the Cons). It has lot's of HD space no matter what kind you choose to go with. Fits long graphics card's and PSU's with lots of cable management space. It just looks classic and is built very solid with most of the features wanted from today's builders. It's an all around great mid-tower.

Cons: The only con I have is a big one. I am in the process of finishing a new build and when I went to install the 240mm AIO CPU cooler up top I could not get the holes to line up because of the motherboard heat sinks. TBH this is something that really has to be addressed at the design faze or a warning issued in the seller posting. Making new holes in the top of a brand new case to fit a cooler that is shown to be compatible makes me cringe a bit.

Overall Review: I recommend just be cautious of mobo and cooler fit up top.

Tons of Power in a small package!

CORSAIR RM1000e CP-9020250-NA 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply
CORSAIR RM1000e CP-9020250-NA 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: 1000w but only 140mm. Great for compact power hungry builds! Corsairs typical solid build quality! 6x PCIE, 7xsata, 2x 8 pin (4x4) EPS power for power hungry CPU's and Graphics cards. I still like having only 1 12v rail. This one is 83.3 Amp. Full modular with very long cables. Very stable power, the 3,3v, 5v and 12v rails all stayed well within specs whether at 20% or 80% load. The headroom I had meant all most no heat or noise, very col and quiet!

Cons: The only con I can think of is that if you get sleeved cable extensions there will be a lot of cable to hide because of the long length of the cables. This is better than selling a PSU with cables that are too short to fit some cases. I will take that trade off any day.

Overall Review: Once again Corsair comes through with great product. I would and do recommend their PSU's to anyone. CPU-5800x GPU-GTX 1080 Thermaltake Core P3 case. Firecuda PCIE-4.0 NVMe drive Patriot Viper Steel 4400 Mhx memory Giga. B550 Pro wifi mobo.

Better than I thought!

PALLAS 120 RGB, a Low profile cooler with 12013 RGB PWM fan, is designed for most desktops, especially for HTPC's and narrow enclosures. 6*6mm Heat-pipe, total height 68mm, compatible with modern CPUs
PALLAS 120 RGB, a Low profile cooler with 12013 RGB PWM fan, is designed for most desktops, especially for HTPC's and narrow enclosures. 6*6mm Heat-pipe, total height 68mm, compatible with modern CPUs

Pros: Nice low profile...68mm with 13mm thick fan that does the job nicely. I like the black powder coat, I wish manufacturers would realize that's what people want most of the time. Fan has RGB connector for 4 pin motherboard header, unfortunately my motherboard has a 3 pin ARGB header so I could not see the fan lit up except in my gaming rig which has both ARGB and RGB for a CPU fan. Make sure you have a 4 pin RGB if you buy this. It's also very very quiet !!!!!! 400 to 1,400 rpm is a nice range for a low power APU like this one and it stays pretty silent ever at 1,400 RPM. Kept my 2200g 5 degrees cooler, 42 vs 47 max running the old 3dMark 11 bench which test the onboard GPU as well as the CPU. Idles about the same.

Cons: RAM clearance is an issue...I have ADATA XGP RAM and the inside stick, slot 3 not the closest, would not fit so I had to run in the 2 outside slots in single channel which resulted in much worse performance. Only very low profile RAM would be my suggestion for this cooler, especially if you are using a mAXT or ITX motherboard. Frankly my RAM is not that tall but the tighter fit on my mATX made the cooler not an option for it and I will use it in another build. I didn't have a huge amount of trouble installing it but why so darn complicated. A new back plate, 4 long screws, washers, backplate hold down screw/nuts another top plate to hold the cooler down, a cross bar and 2 more screws to mount it down along with 2 fan mounting brackets it make it quite a project just to mount a cooler. By contrast the AMD stock cooler has a backplate with preinstalled screws that you screw down and your done.

Overall Review: I really like it, as I said a project to install but it all works out in the end. A bit cooler than the stock one plus it has a nice thin RGB fan so for an HTPC build it would be nice but not for the clearance issue which low profile RAM would resolve. I was really surprised at the performance and quality of this cooler from Raijintek. Nice job!

Very nice and cheap too!!!

This case was far better than I expected. Easy to build in. Plenty of room for cable management. Looks beautiful, my wife loves it. I like the way the tempered glass panel has hinges that allow you to slide the panel off while building plus opens and closes without screws. This needs to be done with all glass panels in my opinion. Power supply cover is perfect with cable slots in the right place and a nice looking subtle logo. Great airflow, CPU and graphics card run very cool with only 3 fans (2 in front and one in back). The front looks just like the Meshify case from Fractal. Cons - The front panel came with a broken tab so it didn't close a first, could have been packaged better. A little mod fixed it easily. The graphics card mount is not really sturdy but it still works. That can be modded also. All in all a very nice little case for a very nice price. 5 stars all the way.
