Most Favorable Review

(new) egg on my face.

Hanns-G 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Hi-221DPB
Hanns-G 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Hi-221DPB

Pros: Great for the price. See other thoughts. Just as nice if not better than my Samsung Sync Master 205BW 22" wide screen monitor.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: My first review gave this Hanns-G monitor 4 eggs because it had a dead pixel near the center of the screen. Today, as I was wiping a smudge off the screen the "dead" pixel came off too. Boy do I feel dumb.

Used for leftovers

DIYPC ARGB-Q8-BK Black USB 3.0 Steel / Tempered Glass Micro-ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, 1x 120mm ARGB Fan x Rear (Pre-Installed)

Pros: Good looks for a budget case

Cons: Fans and front display not ARGB, use Molex instead of SATA connectors. UPDATE 2/2/24 Got around to building this case found despite generous width space between MB surface and side panel minimal couldn't routed sleeved PS cable.

Overall Review: I had parts left over after a MB and CPU upgrade and needed a low dollar case .

Llike amost new

GIGABYTE EAGLE OC GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N3070EAGLE OC-8GD R2
GIGABYTE EAGLE OC GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N3070EAGLE OC-8GD R2

Pros: Looks like new. Card installed with no problems. Scored 17791 on Superposition benchmark.

Cons: Runs warmer than previous Radeon cards at idle. Fan closest to back plate keeps running occasion.

Overall Review: First day: GPU shipped in white product box with a Refurbished by Manufacturer sticker that has information about card and the S/N. Card comes in taped anti-static bag. Only the fan shroud shows minor signs of use, everything else clean. GeFore Expierience software installed no problems but there's a learning curve as my other card use Adrenalin. Will update if any problems.

Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 650W 80+ Gold, 10 Years Warranty, Addressable LEDs With 5V Motherboard Sync/Analog Controlled, ECO Fanless & Silent Mode, Full Modular Power Supply, SF-650F14RG
Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 650W 80+ Gold, 10 Years Warranty, Addressable LEDs With 5V Motherboard Sync/Analog Controlled, ECO Fanless & Silent Mode, Full Modular Power Supply, SF-650F14RG

Pros: Gamer bling and reliable power for a good price. 10 year warranty.

Cons: CPU and VGA cables have an extra pig tale making cable management difficult. Pricey compared to other brands when not offered at a discount or rebate. Super Flower doesn't offer different length cables but then most brands don't either.

Overall Review: Bought this at an excellent price when Super Flower introduced its ARGB series power supply. I'd look elsewhere if they only MSRP.

Well known reliablity.

Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 750W 80+ Gold, 10 Years Warranty, Addressable LEDs With 5V Motherboard Sync/Analog Controlled, ECO Fanless & Silent Mode, Full Modular Power Supply, SF-750F14RG

Pros: Has that gamer bling and decent power.

Cons: VGA and CPU cables have an extra plug making for case clutter. Customers have to go with a third party cable vendor instead of OEM.

Overall Review: I like Super Flower enough I bought a second for future projects since it was on sale for <$100 with rebate.
