Pros: This is the highest quality, best appearing and performing power supply I've used yet. All my builds in the last 4 years have been with Seasonic OEM PSUs, but the last few have been retail. This beautiful, 80+ Bronze certified 430W unit will make you confident that you made the right choice. In operation it's cool, unbelievably quiet, and solid.

Cons: What about those two stupid 17A 12V rails, you ask? I don't think they're there (and Seasonic is dropping the ball by not spelling this out). The box makes no claim for OCP which is what would trip with an overloaded rail or unbalanced load. The revised .pdf data-sheet now only claims a 30A combined limit, and the manual never even mentions load balancing. Conclusion? It's all one big rail, so hook it up and forget it.

Overall Review: This PSU has every connector you could ask for in this class. I sure wish jonnyGURU would look at one of these. Seasonic is better at making quality PSU's than it is at promoting them. If you're building a big single GPU gamer or a powerful HTPC, and you believe that a high quality PSU is the right foundation for your build, this is your next power supply. Spend the extra $20 here. All from the egg.

Pros: The oven works very well. There are settings that vary the upper and lower heating elements separately -- i.e. low heat upper with high heat lower, and many other combinations. There are three height positions. This oven does an excellent job at many different tasks. The cooking is excellent.

Cons: The buttons! I absolutely abhor the user interface! You must have the manual to figure out how to do anything more than toast. You can't even be sure it's on without seeing the heating elements glow. They pulled cheap on the buttons, indicators and translations, of course. What a darn shame! But worst of all, you can bump it on! The biggest and most protruding button (the wide one on the bottom) is the so-called "start/stop" button and if you bump the oven anywhere in that area,.... You guessed it: it's heating up. So every time you put grocery bags on the counter....

Overall Review: The oven hardware is great. The software and user interface are poor. The button size and placement are scary. My wife rarely uses it. She likes to leave it unplugged. 'Nuff said.

Pros: If you have experience with ASUS routers, you'll feel right at home with this one. Everything in the UI is where it always has been, with a few new features and options to play with. WiFi speed, range and reliability is excellent -- the best I've seen in this home.

Cons: An RT-AC56U that I use as a home office media bridge, and a couple other legacy adapters, had trouble connecting with all the WiFi 6 AX features enabled. I backed this router down to WiFi 5 AC mode and everything works fine. Something to play with later....

Overall Review: I live in a severely WiFi congested condominium building. A current router is a must, and this one suits me nicely.

Pros: Low Frame-rate Compensation! Crank up the eye candy, because the game still looks buttery smooth when the Frames Per Second get a little low. When benchmarking and pushing LFC, I saw the Monitor's internal frame count double or triple the FRAPS and benchmark frame count, exactly as it should have -- really nice for a budget Freesync capable Radeon. The stand is sturdy, if simple -- the model MAG271CR has the height adjustable stand, if you need that. The initial factory calibration looks very good. No stuck pixels out of the box. The retail box shipped (via egg-saver UPS ground) very nicely and protected the contents beautifully.

Cons: There are no directions for installing the monitor driver (which you must do), and installation is "old school". Download and unpack the driver package from MSI, then from Windows Device Manager update the driver and point to the directory. If you want to use the MSI On Screen Display app from within windows, you need to connect the USB cable for communication. You don't need the USB connection if you just want to use the OSD via the little joystick located on the rear of the lower right corner of the monitor.

Overall Review: LFC and 1080p was my goal when choosing this monitor. I don't think this is the right monitor for someone with an expensive GPU -- wouldn't you buy a 4K or 1440p for that? This 1080p 144 Hz monitor is a high quality fit with the budget end of current Freesync GPUs. When used for office work (which is most of the time for me) the monitor is big and luxurious. I'm driving this monitor with Ryzen 5 2400G integrated graphics. So, with any eye candy at all, I'm NOT getting 144 Hz or anywhere close to that! What I'm tuning for is 60 - 80 FPS, with some rare dips to the 40's which are completely compensated for by LFC. Video Benchmarks (like Heaven and Valley) look smooth and acceptable down to the mid 30's FPS. I'm happy.

Pros: The Fractal Design Define Nano is solid and well built. It was easy to build in with plenty of room. The PSU can be mounted in either direction. The case includes sound deadening material and design. It's mat black and unadorned. The front looks like vertically brushed aluminum, but it's actually plastic. The blue LED indicator is not too obnoxious.

Cons: The case is pretty large for Mini-ITX. It's not a "traveling" case. There is no accommodation for an internal ODD, but only a few still want that. The case fans are simple single speed types with one year warranty bearings. Mini-ITX motherboards mount their M.2 SSD's underneath and there is unlikely to be enough clearance for an aftermarket SSD cooler. The CPU cutout isn't big enough to open up the SSD area. I was concerned, but a Samsung 970 EVO is apparently getting enough air flow. Perhaps a thermal pad might work....

Overall Review: This low power system was built around a Ryzen 5 2400G intended for media, 1080p gaming, quiet operation and long life. I prefer positive pressure air cooling with good intake filtering, but this one needed to be nearly silent, too. Going cheap did not meet these goals. I ended up with three Noctua PWM case fans on the filtered intakes; 2x 140mm in front and a 120mm on the bottom. A Seasonic PSU that will run in fanless mode (mounted fan up) and an over-spec CPU cooler (with another Noctua fan) rounded out the build. In normal operation or gaming the system is nearly inaudible! Under maximum stress testing, all components are 65°C or less, the exhaust air is only moderately warm, and it still has a very quiet, pleasantly low sound of moving air. The Fractal Design Define Nano was the right choice for this build.

Pros: The Ryzen 5 2400G is an excellent choice for a high performance general purpose PC with some decent gaming capability. For all general purpose or media use, it's plenty strong enough.

Cons: For gaming, the GPU is the weakest link. Gaming at 1080P and moderate settings works well.

Overall Review: The Ryzen 5 2400G is a good choice for a low cost, good performance machine. But, to get the most from this APU, I chose some higher cost supporting components. Fast Flare X RAM (3200 or 2933) really improves the performance of the GPU -- the difference is very noticeable. If gaming is important to you, DO NOT omit this advantage. A 125W rated over-spec air cooler allows the CPU to run cool, quiet and fast -- under stress all four cores boost to 3.8 GHz or higher at only 65 °C or less without any manual tuning. ex ovo omnia
