Great Printer!

Brother HL-2270DW Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer
Brother HL-2270DW Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: Good quality printing, cheap to operate, reliable, auto duplex (works great). 802.11 AND Ethernet AND USB. Generic toner cartridges can be found for $20 online.

Cons: It's not a mobile printer, but I use it as one. I wish it would remember separate 802.11 passwords and tcp/ip settings for different networks. I work around this by using the ethernet in my office, wireless on the road (mifi), and keep the usb on standby to fall back.

Overall Review: If you catch this on sale you'll spend less than $80. Even at full retail, it's still a great printer for the price. Brother while may appear as a value brand, has some great products.I've also got an old MFC-7420 which is used daily. That one is probably 10+ yrs old by now.

Most Critical Review

Wish they were better designed

Logitech H760 USB Connector Supra-aural Wireless Headset
Logitech H760 USB Connector Supra-aural Wireless Headset

Pros: I find this set more comfortable than any I have previously used. I compute 12+ hours daily with these on. The sound quality is decent, the voice quality is decent, the battery longevity is decent, and I'm generally happy except for the cons listed below.

Cons: Material selection and physical design. I have owned about 5 different sets of these trying everything to find some way to not brake them. I have a set on right now that the left ear piece is only being held on by tape. There are four different pressure points where the plastic will brake no matter how you use them. Each ear piece is separate from the headband. Those two connection points and two spots on the headband itself where it expands and contracts are the trouble areas. To get the most use out of these you can heavily tape the headband. It takes longer for the ear pieces to brake but they will because the pressure that would normally be absorbed by the headband is then absorbed by the ear pieces when the headband is taped heavily.

Overall Review: I've had varying degrees of success with the various copies of this product I have owned. I have experienced all the bad things you read about from braking to bad reception to bad battery life. This is to be expected in a consumer grade device mass produced overseas. You take the bad with the good.

Great so far!

Overall Review: SSD got here finally after getting lost in the mail. Other than that the product is great. Noticeable difference in speed from 240gb SATA ssd of yester-year. It's an investment, but works great with my asus x570 mobo and 3900xt.

Great so far!

Overall Review: Couldn't get a 5000 series yet so starting with a 3900xt, existing 1080ti, 32gb 3600, and Samsung 980pro. Build went smooth. Been an Asus fan since my x58 build. This board hasn't disappointed yet.

Good Stuff

CORSAIR Hydro Series H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: Works out of the box. Fast shipping.

Cons: Stock mounting hardware did not work with my 38mm deltas.

Overall Review: Changed to this from a Prolimatech Armageddon because my new ram wouldn't fit under the radiator. This runs about 2 or 3c cooler.

5 out of 6 worked

GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model GEV316GB1600C9DC
GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model GEV316GB1600C9DC

Pros: Got it on sale, which saved me $70+ on the order.

Cons: 1 Dead stick out of 6, which while understandable is still a con. My biggest con though is the size of the heatsink on this model. I'm all for maximum cooling, but these are just too tall. I moved from Ripjams to these to double my ram and was forced to change coolers. That being said, the money I saved made the cooler upgrade not hurt as much, but still; be aware the heatsinks are pretty tall.

Overall Review: I took an egg off for the oversized heatsink design.
