Most Favorable Review
XPG V1.0 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600W8G9-DR
XPG V1.0 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600W8G9-DR

Pros: Works (mostly, see cons).

Cons: Of the 2 kits I ordered, one stick is entirely dead. Not really worth trying to RMA in my case.

Overall Review: Have had a long history with this manufacturer (15+ yr), and this is the first dead product I've had from them.

DIYPC Solo-T1-BK Black USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case with 2 x Blue Fans (1 x 120mm LED fan x front, 1 x 120mm fan x rear) Pre-installed

Pros: It does in fact, case.

Cons: Standoff screws have a bad tendency to cross-thread and/or strip.

Westinghouse WC34DX9019 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K Resolution 100Hz 2xHDMI DisplayPort USB 3.0 Hub AMD FreeSync Technology Flicker-Free Ultra Widescreen Curved Backlit LED Gaming Monitor

Pros: Lotta screen real estate. Good color response. Good viewing angles.

Cons: The color profile that Windows uses for HDR is a little washed out for desktop work, but looks fine in games. Turning on HDR & 100Hz require a bit of digging around in Windows control panel. The 4' DisplayPort cable was only barely long enough, but also accepts HDMI cables.

Overall Review: Replaced a dying old FHD monitor. VESA mountable using 100mmx100mm bracket. I'm sure there's some bell or whistle it's missing, but it's now the best (most feature-rich) monitor I've owned. Very reasonably priced when I snagged it. Have not used the built-in USB hub (and didn't see the cable for it in the box).

Has Worked Well for Over a Year

Rosewill RSV-SATA-Cage-34 - Hard Disk Drives - Black, 3 x 5.25" to 4 x 3.5" Hot-Swap - SATA III / SAS - Cage

Pros: Good price:reward ratio Quiet

Cons: Sliced through the ribbon cable while moving it between cases -- got caught on the old case. Uses Molex power connectors (which as others have mentioned, are getting difficult to find)

Overall Review: As others have mentioned, make sure that if you're converting sata-power -> molex for this, that you use one sata-power connector per molex (so, use 2 sata power connectors to power this). One sata connector will not suffice

Pros: It did boot. Had all the peripheral choices I was hoping for.

Cons: Began acting erroneously after about a week (just after I disposed of the box, of course). At first, appeared as faulty memory and/or faulty PSU, but both checked out on other hardware. My best guess was faulty cpu, as it was reporting different amounts of cache depending on bootup. Have RMA'd.

Does What I Want

Sturdy. Straightforward to assemble. Currently mounted to a standing desk with the clamping base -- have not used the grommet base. Can rearrange the assembly to put the single monitor on the bottom (if desired).
