No Problems

Rosewill RCI-200MS - 200W DC To AC Power Inverter with Power Protection and Alarming
Rosewill RCI-200MS - 200W DC To AC Power Inverter with Power Protection and Alarming

Pros: Inexpensive Reliable Great if power demand is within inverter's limits. Comes with extra fuse. Sturdy, nicely constructed.

Cons: None noted.

Overall Review: Picked up one of these for my motor home guests that like to bring along their electronics but are not set up for 12 volt travel. Mostly used for charging small electronics and running laptops... but also used with my electric razor on occasion. I liked it so much that I also picked up an extra just to toss into my extra vehicle... just in case. Nice inverters! :) Attn Newegg: Dump DHL shipping! They turn a normal two day delivery into an EIGHT day fiasco. This DHL/USPS fiasco is a disservice to your customers. Whittier CA to Roseburg OR should NOT TAKE EIGHT DAYS!!!!

Nice for My Needs

Pros: Low wattage, flawless so far.

Cons: No hyperthreading. ;)

Overall Review: For my needs, this was overkill... but I'm loving it. :)

Fit My Needs

ICY DOCK Dual 2.5 SSD 1 x 3.5 HDD Device Bay to 5.25 Drive Bay Converter / Mount / Kit / Adapter - FLEX-FIT Trio MB343SP

Pros: Does what it says Is complete.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you need to adapt a 3 1/2" to a 5 1/4" bay (ESPECIALLY an external bay) this is your fix.

Silent

Cooler Master Master Watt 750 Watt Semi-Fanless Silencio Fan, Semi-Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply
Cooler Master Master Watt 750 Watt Semi-Fanless Silencio Fan, Semi-Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply

Pros: Silent with power to spare (for my needs)

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: Worked out of the box. I always burn these in and then put a voltmeter on these prior to connecting it to expensive equipment. This one did fine. Temp controlled fan is very quiet on my (non-overclocked) system. Paired with MSI Z390-A Pro, 32 GB G.Skill, WD 750GB SSD, 2 dvd drives, and Core I5.

Fast and Silent

Pros: It's WD Black... a brand that's earned my trust.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Time will tell... my first SSD. Fast, silent, no problems... so far.

NICE Board!

Pros: Installation with G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) went flawlessly. Not overclocking but all the capabilities are there. Has PS2 support for us old guys who just can't give up their clicky old Omni Key keyboards. ;) (yeah... I know there's PS2 to USB adapters, but prefer not to use one until I have to.) :)

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: OK... rant time... Hey... all you guys who rant and rave about NOT getting a Z390 if you do NOT intend on overclocking? Take a chill pill... you're not thing things through. First of all, the price difference between the Z and the other chips is fairly minimal. Second... installing a Z motherboard now offers an upgrade path for the future. I don't need to O/C now, but as the system ages or my needs change, I won't have to purchase a new MB down the road if I decide to O/C later. So... even if you're NOT overclocking now, don't get talked out of that Z MB if you find one you like. :)
