Revision to my earlier review

GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I got the CrossfireX to work - by booting with only 1 2GB DDR2 memory stick instead of two. Then it did not freeze when I saved the bios with SurroundView enabled. Catalyst automatically enabled CrossfireX. Shut down and put the other memory module back in. (Vista 64 needs all 4gb!) It's all good.

Cons: Now none...

Overall Review: Vista experience gaming graphics score went from 1.0 with only the onboard ATI HD3200, to 3.6 after adding the $20 HD3450 and the Hybrid Graphics/CrossfireX enabled. Mild OC'ing to 700 (from std 600) using ATI Catalyst brought it up to a 4.3 rating.

Most Critical Review

Failed after 9 months

Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Quiet, efficient and plenty of power unless you have primo video card(s).

Cons: Mine died after 9 months. I had to pay to ship it back to Fremont, CA from the east coast. RMA replacement took just over 2 weeks. They sent me a remanufatured PSU.

Overall Review: I got burned (30 dollars) on the rebate company bankruptcy. I usually make copies, but could not find them to submit to Antec, who is willing to stand by the rebate if you can send them your copies. My bad, but kudos to Antec. I bought an EA650 from Newegg to get my PC up immediately rather than wait for RMA replacement. I'm still sticking with Antec.

Adds convenience and more ports

Unitek Aluminum USB C Hub with SD / TF Card Reader + 3 USB 3.0 Ports Extension Converter with USB-C and USB-A Cable, Compatible iMac, MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt 3), Surface Pro, ChromeBook, PC, Tablet
Unitek Aluminum USB C Hub with SD / TF Card Reader + 3 USB 3.0 Ports Extension Converter with USB-C and USB-A Cable, Compatible iMac, MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt 3), Surface Pro, ChromeBook, PC, Tablet

Pros: USB-C or standard USB-A 3.0 connection to PC Adds SD and micro SD ports that my desktop was lacking Horizontal or vertical placement Attractive aluminum finish Thunderbolt 3 capability is nice to have, though I have not tested that yet

Cons: Cables might be too short for some uses (just right for me).

Overall Review: Glad I got this hub because: It sits vertical on the top rear of my desktop PC case, the cable is just right. My case has just one USB 3.0 port on the front (and one 2.0), and access to the rear USB ports is very difficult; this product makes using my USB devices easy, as they should be. Already I have used it for connecting portable SSD, micro SD and USB optical drives.

Wi-Fi 6 AX200

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+) Desktop Kit Up to 2.4Gbps Wireless Data Rates
Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+) Desktop Kit Up to 2.4Gbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Very strong Wi-Fi signal 30 feet from my Verizon AC router Stable bluetooth connection to my mouse, keyboard and headphones, no drops. Low profile bracket included for my SFF case. This kit makes installation a snap.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Using this AX200 card with an ASRock Z270M Extreme4 motherboard and a Core i7-6700T CPU running Windows 10 Pro. Works perfectly!

Low profile, high value RAM

Pros: Low profile, fits nicely in tight spaces Low voltage, good timings for my HTPC build Looks good too!

Cons: I would get faster RAM for gaming, but that's not my application.

Overall Review: 2133 mhz is all I need in my H170 itx HTPC. I am happy I bought it.

Repeat Buyer

APEVIA PSC-02 Apevia Standard Case Expansion Slot Cover 5 in 1 pack
APEVIA PSC-02 Apevia Standard Case Expansion Slot Cover 5 in 1 pack

Pros: For cases with the cheap break-out PCI tabs, these are perfect. Black, perforated, and black screws are included.

Cons: None really, I keep buying more.

Overall Review: Did five reviewers in a row really not understand how to install these properly? Maybe Apevia needs to include a small instructions sheet.
